Something like the common use of XMPP federation is what the article was asking for and it hasn't been solved. It just needs more than a technical solution. How do we get bad faith actors like Google and Apple and Yahoo and... to stop building walled gardens?
You forgot Facebook.
Messenger is also XMPP based (without the Federation option, just like Google Hangouts).

With uber, you see the total price on the app, including service and all extras, before you book the ride. I hate their business model and their disrespect for local laws and practice, but in Europe I almost totally avoid cabs because of the reasons above, and a decent app would go a long way towards making me use taxis more often.
In many cities in Germany and in a few other European cities (ie. Barcelona, Madrid, Zurich, Vienna, Warsaw) you can use MyTaxi app - it's like Uber for registered Taxi drivers. All drivers have a taxi licence, and you know the cost of the fare (the rate per km and the start fee) before ordering one. You can pay in cash to the driver (the old fashioned way) or you can pay by app using your bank card (like Uber). Tipping is optional. There are driver reviews, and there is a friend recommendation programme so you can get some free/discounted rides for having your friends use your promo code.
You have a map on your app while riding so the driver won't cheat you on changing the route, and you have a history of your rides so you can complain about the driver if you think you have been treated wrong.
It's almost like the best of both worlds.
The costs are roughly the same as ordering an ordinary taxi, but you can choose the cheapest one in your vicinity.
So for example male spiders in the orb-web families spin a line of very stretch silk which they keep attached to a leg during initial contact and mating with a female - as soon as mating concludes they let go with the other legs and their bungie cord gives them a very rapid escape. Cannibalism only happens if the cord fails to function for some reason, or the female manages to be faster than the cord (seriously low odds).
So while cannibalism almost never happens - the behaviour shows that there is a very real risk of it, hence the males have evolved an intricate defence mechanism to avoid that fate..
Wow, screwing their females, and then bungee jumping right afterwards - these spiders are rad, dude!
I forgot about the Roman/Nazi salute also showing all five fingerprints. o/
And the high-five.
Basically we should wear gloves all the year to avoid fingerprint disclosure;-)
I guess the horns "\m/" sign is also affected, even though you're displaying only your index and pinky fingers.
The vulcan greeting sign "_\\//" would be the worst to photograph, since it displays all the fingerprints.
You might say there's some experience to it. I take cabs a lot (working late shift and whatnot) and many drivers ask me directly "how about a chick for tonight".
As far as I heard, the taxi drivers are getting paid for each customer they drive to a whorehouse (by the house, not by the taxi company). It's a kind of side job for them.
If you want citations go and find them, why do you expect someone else to run around for you? You are an anonymous coward with delusions. If you wish to discus the subject stop the fallacies as that is bullshit.
Now that is pure bullshit. If you want to make a statement, provide evidence for it. Don't ask others to do that for you.
If you want to persuade people to your point of view, then you have to provide evidence, not them.
Show me one person who has been saved from this. Shit, name me One person who's been frozen for more than a day and than woken up from said frozen coma. Saving lives my ass. This is a money grab.
Exactly. Same bullshit as homeopathy, astrology, or any religion.
AT&T means American Telephone and Telegraph. Now they can change it to mean American Telephone and Television. Finally AT&T can stand for something that isn't ridiculously out of date.
Well, traditional telephone (landline) and television are going to be obsolete too quite soon.
If they want a future-proof name then they should change it to American mobile Telephone & InTernet:-P
It's not US. I was on an Iberian Express flight from Madrid and they specifically called out Galaxy Note 7s in the terminals at Madrid and Amsterdam, as well as in the plane itself.
Yup. I heard the same warning on a TAP Portugal flight from Lisbon - "turn off your Galaxy Note 7".
Now that's a real turn-off for potential Samsung phone buyers (including myself).
The problem with socialists is that they are quickly running out of someone else's money.
If you like giving money to the poor, start with your own money, and see what it's like to support lazy bums that just want to freeload on the work of others.
"The Transit Elevated Bus piloted in China's Hebei province rolls along a designated track, making it similar in some ways to a commuter train or tram -- the key difference, of course, being that it runs on top of the existing roadway without the need to construct a separate overpass"
Not exactly true. You still have to construct the rails on which the support columns ride. You can't just ride it on any existing roadways out of the box.
The key problem is that we are bending toward a world with much less jobs. If we want jobless people to live and the economy to keep working, we need to give them money somehow.
If you start giving money to the jobless people, then they will be jobless forever.
How about giving them better education so they can find better jobs instead of relying on the same soon-to-be-obsolete job skills for the rest of their lives?
If you are so worried that technological progress is killing some low-skilled, low-paid jobs then you are failing to notice that it creates other, higher-skilled, better-paid jobs.
Why don't you leave your phone and computer and go back to the good old technologies of pidgeon-mail, hand writing, and using an abacus to count your money?
Computers killed the abacus business, phones killed the pidgeon messaging. Are you really worried about that?
Remember Richie Rich (the film)?
Prof. Keenbeam invented such a device in it, called Sniffer.
They used it to detect bombs,

It could be very useful in real life to sniff out bombs at the airport.

I meant Indiegogo. I'm too used to use kickstarter as a generic term.

Unwinding it all to figure out who contributed to what source files is the hardest part. I suppose at
Yeah, if only we had a tool that would track who wrote which line of code in which file. Something like a Version Control System.

Self-correction: it only had an XMPP API, it wasn't running XMPP internally. source

Europe and Asia geologically are on the same tectonic plate.

I guess you meant "orifices".

Crooks are stupid. How much do you want to bet that he forgot to delete the drafts?
it's pretty easy to "recover" something that was not deleted in the first place.
I guess that the emails the crook thought of as "deleted" were in fact just moved to the Recycle Bin/Trash folder.
