Do they take the way that the driver plans to go? DO they prevent people from making 6 trips from NYC to Newark a day? No to wither. It's not a ride sharing app, either in principle (where si the ride being offered shared to) or in practice (profressionals can use it).
What they decide to call it is kinda irrelevant for purposes of what it really is.
Are you trying to budget, or retain the receipts. Cause I would love to get computer readable receipts.
Not that I would love it enough to let Google have all that information. The Feds are fine. Google is a for-profit corporation that pretty much only makes money selling my information (although I suppose it makes a ton off the app store as well).
Are they supposed to change their business model to accommodate those who wish to use it for other than the intended purpose?
When most of their people don't use it like that, it's disingenous to claim that's what they built. A ride-share app isn't worth $50B, so investors agree.
You answered why there were taxi drivers and why medallions were worth a fortune. This is now, today. Why are there any taxi drivers, if driving for Uber is better. Are you telling me it's harder to get an Uber job than a taxi job?
What's the difference between an employee and a contractor? The contractor doesn't receive any benefits.
That's a difference between being classified as one or the other by a company. But the companies classification is not the determinant. There are rules that classify you as one or the other.
It's not normative vs. descriptive, it's declared vs. actual.
Who was holding the "gun" to the head of the Uber drivers and demanding that they drive for Uber?
Landlords, grocers, doctors, pharmacists, clothiers, electric company, water company, some cellphone company, public transit (well, actually, not that one...)
. For iPhones, it seems to be a few years. For Android, it is worse and generally always less than two years
You're ignoring the trends. A couple of Apple devices I have from 2011 are still going strong and are supposed to be supported through the next major OS update. Android devices go out of support lifetimes like every year.
It's almost like Apple thinks they can make people want to update, and Google thinks they need to force someone to with an insecure device.
In what world do you buy a smartphone and use it for the rest of your life?
The rest of my life? No. But until it breaks, why would I change it.
A google account poses non-monetary costs. It is not free. Forcing those non-monetary costs on children, before they can even consent, seems like evil to me.
Yeah, I have a better idea. Basic income, full stop. For everyone.
We don't need some distopian decrease in population through mandatory sterilization. We have enough to feed, clothe, house, etc. the population, even as it increases. Automation will keep increasing as well.
Why would there be any sanctions? The government doesn't sanction people for not having the data they need (why the government cannot arbitrarily sanction you for not predicting the future). They sanction you for not turning over data you do have/explaining why it's impossible.
Just hand over the encrypted data and say "good luck with that".
Because Apple has a team of lawyers that will inform that stupid stunts like that will get an obstruction charge. A polite response may get them a new request for the encrypted data, or not.
See also, Lavabit, which tried to be clever.
Also, compare to that polite letter about how it's a TOR exit node recently posted on slashdot..
FBI agents are people. They're going to demand that their requests are either given the replies they expect from the citizenry (which should not be "none"). This can be done either by compliance or by something they can pass to a superior/lawyer. Just help them figure out what box to check on their paperwork.
This was back in the late '90s, early aughts, so it was before the advent or wide adoption of DHTML, AJAX, HTML 5 etc... The answer had to be pure HTML4: no javascript, no css, no plugins, no activeX etc...
Sure. IE 5 through Whatever EOL of IE is had "conditional comments" Because "fuck standards", that's why. So things like <!--[if IE] > were respected by the browser. You couldn't take the negation, of course, because no one else would respect it. But totally worked.
And yeah, most people are saying HTML not realizing it's a markup language. I totally get that. Just had to throw some snark back!
If you've been programming since the nineties, you probably do. Combinatorics is basically what tells you that making quintuple nested for loops scales at the product of the size of each loop. It gets more complex, of course, but basically it's one of the cores of optimization.
Yes, you should absolutely take someone else's word for it,
A mathy person knows what problems exist that they need help on. A non-mathy person does not. Therefore, a mathy person will know to look up "how should I salt for an md5 hash." A non-mathy person copies another non-mathy person's code, and boom, rainbow table attack vector.
Yes, you can cobble together a website with no coding skills by using text and simple markup tags.
Fixed that for you. A website isn't programming. It's content. Which is fine. Humanities majors should be better at producing content than math majors (with the exception of technical content for other math majors, etc).
every country which embraces regulated capitalism has experienced a steady improvement in standards of living and wealth would have stuck in old Karl's craw.
Marx advocated most of the things that regulated capitalism did. Remember, the Communist Manifesto was really advocating Socialism, not what is now called Communism.
There were ten areas he wanted to change. Some of them are now considered to be such "duh" ideas they will remain forever: Progressive taxation and universal education. Some are definitely implemented (partially) through things like (real estate) property taxes and estate taxes. Some were kinda stupid, in that he wanted a lot more agricultural workers and for everyone to have to take a turn farming. But keep in mind, the massive agricultural revolution is pretty recent, and both Marx and Smith were tripped up by the idea that we could genetically engineer crops or build giant combines.

If that was true, why would there be any taxi drivers right now? Why aren't medallions worth almost nothing.
Sorry, true. I was only thinking of iDevices when I said 2011.
There's an oligopsony for non-skilled shitty jobs.
Better than/easier to get than flipping burgers is a really low standard./P

Forth isn't a functional language.

We'll be using bioenginered bacteria to make cheap hydrocarbons long before 2100, and cheaper than drilling them.
Reclaiming phosphates seems the hardest problem. And I don't know that much about it, but assume it's solvable.
The aquifers, like all water issues will get solved by desalination. The major agricultural areas will move to where water can be used from the sea.
Yeah, I have a better idea. Basic income, full stop. For everyone.

Other than signal/image/text processing, graphics, physics simulation, financial modelling, search optimization and ad/content tailoring, (and probably others) you're right.
Programming in general doesn't require those skills. Programming interesting things does.

Now I desperately want to interview with you. Because if you're going to be that smartass, I will pull out iteration and conditionals in HTML*

Many economists predicted it. However, the exact timing for bubble bursting is... not well done.
Man, where's that antispam idea form letter when you need it.
You're idea for using all autonomou cars will fail because it:
