It's funny, I tried Trello first for a project that went nowhere - the wanna-be backer was too busy on ski-trips, and his "people" were too busy partying while he was gone... so I put it to rest.
Then I started on a project where I need to coordinate with another developer who uses Trello. There are some oddities that take getting used to, but I am really loving it.
In the mean time... the wanna-be backer from the first project manages his real-estate (some apartments and commercial buildings). He started using Trello to communicate with his staff, and it's been working out well for him.
Of course it is not an "issue tracker", because it is not very rigid. It depends a lot on the ability of users to organize. But it gives you decent tools for doing that.
P.S. He fired all his partying staff and installed cameras everywhere! Now he can helicopter-in via webcam and Trello in between ski runs....
I'd say yea, they certainly are dumb! Don't put an admin switch in a consumer app! Sure, they could have put in better checking to make sure it is an appropriate account accessing, but, still, it is better to just leave the code out of the app!
There should be a separate driver app, possibly off the app store. The Enterprise Program is not appropriate, because Uber drivers are not Uber employees, so not technically eligible. But Apple now has a B2B program where this would fit. Even a separate App-Store driver app would be better, because at least it wouldn't (normally) be in the hands of normal users. (I don't know nuthin about Google Play Store. But drivers could just install the driver app from a download on Android, right? Besides, nobody expects security on Android...)
Sure, an app-store driver app would be a target. Which is good. They'd have to be especially careful with that app to make sure that nobody can actually log-in with it without having a driver account. (But, really, best to keep it completely off the public App Store.)
I'm currently working on an app for Karaoke singers to show the Songbook and request to sing. (Works with some popular Karaoke-hosting software.) I'll also have a kiosk version and another version for Karaoke hosts to remote-control the show. Even for this, I know better than to put all this into a single app! Because: Karaoke Murders. Hey, some of these people are serious. Yea, if some singer could take over the show, they would. I mean, they sometimes do this:
It's a GitHub proprietary feature. It's kinda like a pastebin, but it sticks around. You can publish gists from a repo, though.
Developers use them to share little snippets that don't deserve a repo. They are often used for support cases, as a home for snippets used in a programming blog, etc. etc. etc. A developer might make a gist to show to an open-source author or to a commercial software vendor's support team, etc. Like, "here's what I did, what is wrong with this?" kinda thing.
I guess they are doing it because descriptive TLDs makes search a tiny little bit less necessary.
On the other hand search - or at least search that might deliver relevant results rather than the spam that Google delivers - would make DNS almost completely unnecessary
Google isn't likely to give us that kind of search. Ever.
I think HT actually came from Motorola's designation for their hand-held transceivers, e.g. HT-100. And "Handie-Talkie" is the term that Motorola used, check old product literature.
Motorola trademarked the term (in different forms) in 1948 and 1960.
The absence of this from the summary is what led the GP to ask his quite reasonable question.
You're supposed to read the actual article before opening your yap.
And, as others have noted,..tse would have been rude. I was relatively nice, but unforgivingly direct. I mean, not even Linus-rude. Heck, I might not even have been Matz-rude, and that's not very rude! It's/. Respect the culture.
No, he wasn't "nabbed" without process.
The GP never implied that he might have been
Yes, he did. He asked if the guy was "actually" extradited.
Why hand the job off to somebody else? You've admitted that the ability of the therapists is variable.
How much time do you spend with your son? Do you explain to him the silly rituals that most people go through that he does not understand? Do you constantly reinforce that if he goes along with these silly rituals, (shaking hands, looking people in the eye when talking to them, not fiddling when engaging in conversation, not suddenly changing the subject, graceful exits, etc. etc. etc.) that life will go much more smoothly?
Maybe it makes more sense for YOU to go to some special class. Why don't YOU learn to teach these skills to your son?
He'll probably eventually figure it out himself. Personally, I think the more interaction with the "normal" world the better. He will figure it out. "I do this, they do that, I don't understand why, but they do." The more doing, the more he'll figure it out.
Putin, though, geez, just give back the ring, dude! Like my friend who will just grab your slice of pizza without asking, and doesn't understand why you would mind. OK, maybe socialization won't fix everything.
In other words, it's an iPhone 3G. (Which you might also call "iPhone 1").
That's one of the few things Steve Jobs was wrong about. Fortunately, he came to his senses.
Based on the appearance of those signs, the police should have immediately rounded-up all of the five-year-olds in the area.
Some of them had signs. Some of them didn't. And I doubt anyone was crawling-around under bridges looking for the signs. Of course, police would have seen the signs once they investigated. Or maybe their bomb-sniffing robot might have.
Did the police over-react? I dunno. You'd have to be there. I wasn't.
It remains that placing the objects was begging the response. It was stupid.
If I were a conspiracy theorist, I'd say perhaps it was a test - by officials or by nefarious interests - to see how alert the public is. Now we know: the public is alert!
Before some persnickety spelling pundit calls me on it: "suspicious", not "suspicous". And because/. doesn't allow editing posts after they are posted.
"Students were instructed to take their cameras home and to place them in locations that would provide interesting scenes with bright sunlight,"
What part of "home" did these students not understand?
Although I think most of us would not think that placing the cameras in a public place for art's sake is some horrible offense, it might be a violation of privacy, and it is certainly not prudent in a terrorism-obsessed world.
It should have been done with some sort of official approval, and placed with some kind of sign. Perhaps a simple: "What is this? It's part of an art project. For the sake of art, please do not disturb! Go to this website to find out more: [Insert URL here]
Of course, that would probably take months of rigmarole to get approved.
I've seen similar signs on weather stations, wildlife projects, "what's happening to the bees" projects, etc. Here around San Diego, we often come across stuff like this along the beach. (Measuring sand erosion, wildlife, etc.)
Slashdot has (partially) stopped honoring their own ad opt-out.
(You can opt-out of ads if you account is more than n old or something.)
It still opts-out banner ads. But now they have added AdSense, and it does not block that.
Since I opt-out of targeted AdSense, all I get is ads for removing dark spots. Ewwwww!
Please report these ads to Google, since SlashDot is not honoring their own opt-out policy. That can't be consistent with AdSense rules. Opt-out means: "opt-out".
And, of course, that goes for AdBlock as well. You are PAYING for a service that removes ads. If advertisers can pay to get around that, it is a fraud.
It's been a log time since I worked in the industry (I did programming in Health Physics at San Onofre many years ago) but I know that at the time, France was considered to have the safest reactors, operating rules, and procedures. Their Health Physics rules were particularly admired.
Of course, this makes sense, because historically, isn't France the country with the widest deployment of and most reliance on nuclear reactors?
But, now France has decided on a long-term goal of phasing-out nuclear power.
Perhaps the best way to win this game - is to not play at all.
Hmmmm.... somehow I thought that knockoffs are legal in China? Maybe only if they knockoff another Chinese manufacturer? Maybe only if they sell it to a Chinese person?
Because otherwise, how can you explain why so many different factories make exactly the same product?
Now, legitimately, maybe IP-holders in China license multiple factories to make the same product, and then each factory sells the items directly from the factory, and pays a royalty to the IP-holder, but...
No.
Still, my advice on buying from Alibaba I think still stands:
Go to Target. Walmart. Etc.
Find a cheap product you want to buy.
See if it's in the original box. If not, skip it. (Look at the overstock above. You might see the original case box.)
Get the name and address whatever details you can from the box
See if you can find it on Alibaba Direct.
For best results, match the factory
Buy it for 1/3 the price or less
You will PROBABLY get the same item.
But frergidiabout buying any kind of electrical meter with a yellow bezel. Fluke will have it stopped at the border.
There was a program you could load that would play a tune. But we would also just leave the radio there during normal use. We swore we could tell when the Fortran compiler was processing a FORMAT statement:
How much of this, though, is due to abusive practices like traffic pumping?
There were hearings and talk of reform. Did anything every happen?
Is it possible that the reasons that long-distance calls (in or out) don't complete because they've been too greedy abusively-routing 900-calls and the like through these areas?

Now, why would they be asking about a gitHub gist?
I'll bet one of Uber's own developers leaked the key. Presumably, by accident.

We did this circa 1971 in High School, Cass Technical High School, Detroit, Michigan placing an AM radio on the console of an IBM 1620.
There was a program you could load that would play a tune. But we would also just leave the radio there during normal use. We swore we could tell when the Fortran compiler was processing a FORMAT statement:
(The last bit is the FORMAT statement...)
In any case, it was pretty clear when your program was in an infinite loop, and so we used it for some debugging.
So, in 45 years, we've advanced to recognizing keystrokes. Good job, git!
