What's inappropriate is for a third party to decide when and when not two adults can have a private relationship.

Statically typed languages increase productivity by catching errors early, but decrease productivity by making users jump through hoops. e.g. at one end of the spectrum is Java, which everything has to be a class. Even if you want to writ

Specifically structural record types, and many statically typed languages don't have them. (not Java, not C++, not Haskell, not Rust, yes Swift, yes OCaml)

For a short-haul flight I agree. Wifi provides little benefit, and being disconnected can actually be a blessing. A long-haul flight is so much more pleasant with wifi. There's only so many movies I can watch (for me, 1 or 2) before I

The question is whether the business would respond ethically by paying fair compensation for the program the employee created. The answer is almost surely no, so it is ethical (in my book) to extract the compensation by force. Probably not

There's nothing wrong with sugar when eaten as part of a meal, it's when people down Coca Cola on an empty stomach that there's a problem. And fat is actually essential to life. At the risk of stating the obvious, when you ea

This is missing the point. Fresh herbs in particular are delicate and easily damaged, and degrade quickly. It's like going to a seafood restaurant that has live lobsters, vs a seafood restaurant that uses already dead lobsters. Sure bo

On the other hand, if the only way you can stay in business is by deceiving your own customers, what you are running is a scam.

The bar to meet will be precisely "as good as Waymo", because if Tesla's technology kills substantially more people, neither regulators nor consumers will allow it to exist.

It is colonialism just the same to forcefully impose one's rule on a another nation using history books, as it is with guns.

Unfortunately not. You also have to delete from ~/Library/Caches at the least. If you want to delete the user data then you will need to delete from ~/Library/Application Support, Preferences, Containers, etc, etc...

Is it a realistic threat though? You're not supposed to use your device after it has been compromised. If you don't _know_ your device has been compromised you are totally fucked anyway.

Perhaps air traffic control centres should start playing heavy metal to reduce accident rates.

No doubt, the food in McDonalds is bad. But it's very distinctive . You can buy a burger and fries at any number of joints, but you can only buy a McDonalds Big Mac and McDonalds fries at McDonalds. You could call it Hershey Syndr

Tesla want a system that works all the time, even if that means it kills some pedestrians once in a while. Waymo want a system that has a zero accident rate, even if that means it can't operate in the rain.

Hey if you can find 1000 people to pay $400, I will make it. But it's hard to convince people to hand over their money. SaaS works because the profits are reinvested into marketing.

An employee cap would benefit big tech companies hugely. Tech companies would receive an even greater share of investment than they currently do, as even the largest tech companies pale in comparison to say Walmart (in terms of employment)

What is the practical benefit of soundness? I offer that soundness is a disease that makes programming languages far more complex than they have any right to be. A static type system exists to prevent some classes of bugs and enable code

Perhaps read a book. Just visit your local real or virtual library. My point is not that articles on the internet are useless. But there is a certain tunnel vision in these discussions where we forget there are other _even better_ ways to s

Or just buy a games console. Articles on the internet exist primarily as free entertainment. If I am going to spend money on entertainment, there are much more fulfilling options.

Lyft can't expand outside the US because there are already local competitors. If I'm happy using Grab, why would I bother installing Lyft?

by resf 9y ago
They clearly have different objectives. Uber wants to be a huge multinational company, whereas Lyft can only hope to win the US market. In other words, even Lyft's best case scenario would be a huge step down for Uber.

The obvious next question being, _are_ PEX pipes safe? Perhaps California is just ahead of the curve banning it.
