It's easy to judge, isn't it? It takes some courage to be honest and introspective, regardless of how you may judge the poster. What you say about this person says as much about you as it does about them.

There's opportunity here. Exec, Über, Lyft etc get rid of tipping for cleaning, taxis and I love it. I am happy to know total cost upfront. Matter of time before this is extended to food service.

This is how doctors in India (and a lot of other countries) work, and it's super efficient. His prices feel very competitive to me. I would carry a high-deductible insurance plan for catastrophes but this would otherwise be a great option.

Make new friends? Meet new people? Learn new things? Rather presumptuous to assume that just because 'your friends' won't be there, those who will aren't going to be 'as good' for an arbitrary definition of good.

A mobile developer with iOS skills makes 65k in San Jose but 90k+ in all the little cities around it. Something must really suck about San Jose. ;) Practically though, this exposes their underlying data source. Averaging across limite data

Thanks. Most media sites have Open Graph tags - I wonder why Twitter didn't just reuse those. I understand they're from a competitor but they are somewhat standard. All these proprietary tags add unnecessary overhead to developers and bloat

How do you hype a product, and release the lesser of the two variants (RT vs Pro)? How do you go months without announcing a price, and then don't price it competitively? How do you release a product where your flagship apps (Office suite)

He was always polarizing and that his stock was rising is equally contentious, IMO. Windows 8 was late, Surface seems to be underwhelming and his inability to be a real team player are all likely factors here, as is his rumored disagreement

The solution is just an auto-dimming brightness trick away, right? Also, FYI - most things on the screen can be controlled using the HUD and steering wheel buttons. So both your fears seem largely unfounded.

If I understand correctly, I think it's a function of how they rank their vulnerabilities. "The rankings are based on the percentage of users whose computers had the vulnerability in question" Machines running Apple software on Windows &#62

I still remember how painful it was to ship anything, waiting in queue for security team signoff. Good to see it payoff though. Good on Microsoft - making secure products and smarter engineers in the process.
