Actually Fabric has some really nice tools. But it looks like this is just changing the web interface and location, rather than EOLing actual functionality.
If the drivers were able to price their own rides and market their own brand through the app, then you'd have a point. If they're taking the prices they're told and are treated as "an uber" rather than "BillyBob's Ride Co", then they're employees. Guess which one it is?
Download a better keyboard. I know Swype has left right up and down keys- swipe from the swype symbol to the symbols key to open it, although you may need to find an apk as its been canceled. Several other keyboards have similar features. Some allow you to turn off swype functionality and move the cursor by sliding your finger over the keyboard.
The great thing about Android is if you don't like most of the built in apps, you can replace it.
Those students will always be more on the ball. The traditional students are a mix of people without the money for a university (so are probably working) and without the grades/motivation (so will always be behind). The high schoolers there are a mix of highly motivated individuals who work hard as hell and are excelling academically, and the just plain smart kids who may not work as hard but breeze through the work. The first two groups will have very few people who compare well with the second (and most of those will be in the money saving group).
I suggest you stop tilting at windmills, people, including the people who live there, haven't considered "Silicon Valley" to be a synonym for "Santa Cruz Valley" for a good 20 years. San Francisco was considered part of the Valley when I was first doing tours there on interviews 20 years ago. You may not like it, but its reality.
Lived there. We called it by both terms, frequently. Silicon Valley stretched all the way from San Francisco to SantaClara, and was the tech corridor. Nobody EVER said it didn't include San Francisco. Time to get out of the 90s and learn modern reality.
Silicon Valley is generally described by people in the area as stretching up to San Francisco and down to Santa Cruz. And the housing struggle is pretty much the same all the way down, although it gets better in the Santa Cruz area.
Boundaries aren't static when you're not talking about a geographical feature. What would be considered the suburbs of almost every major US city are further out than they were 20 years ago. Silicon Valley started as Santa Clara Valley, but its grown since then.
Given that 80% of the US lives in cities, the US isn't even close to the most urban country in the world, and that money concentrates in urban areas- no that's a waste of time and money.
You can disable it though. The reason you can't delete it is its literally in a read only mount. But disabling it turns it completely off with no code in the app allowed to run.
And if I eliminate everyone who isn't a blind vietnam veteran with no left hand named Merv, I get to 0% penetration, and 0% usefulness of my numbers.
More than half the country lives in urban areas (actually the rural base of america is only 19.3 percent of the country- source: https://www.census.gov/newsroo...). Basing numbers on just people outside of cities is cooking the data. Nobody, from advertisers to companies to users actually give a fuck about number of counties for anything.
That wage includes all the very high salaried engineers in the same pool as the warehouse workers. Nobody is claiming the engineers need assistance. Its the scores of warehouse workers that need it.
So because you failed at product management you're going to throw the baby out with the bathwater, rather than get better. Yup, that's a method for amazing success right there.
Agile fails miserably except on a small subset of projects where rapid feedback by customers is actually possible and makes sense. It works fine if you're doing a simple front end code. Its a complete failure if you're doing anything involving actual research, or large enough to not just be thrown together by the seat of your pants. But if all you want to do is remake trivial websites for the rest of your life have at it.
By that definition there is no such thing as a deadline anywhere for anything ever. I mean its not like the universe ends if we fail to meet any date ever.
If there's a date that a feature/product is expected by, that you/your team are judged by finishing by a certain date, its a deadline. How you react to missing that deadline may differ from losing money/contracts to slipping release to dropping the feature. That doesn't make it not a deadline.
Welcome to the real world- they aren't. We have enough work doing the actual engineering, we don't have the time to be product managers as well. That's why we hire product managers to do that. At most you have one lead engineer sitting at the table. Most likely you don't even have that.
And no, you can't always break down a story. Frequently you don't know how you're going to do something until you've spent a few days or a week or two investigating different technologies/algorithms/approaches. You can put up a couple of pointless placeholders, but they don't remotely mean anything. If you really think everything breaks down cleanly, you must do nothing other than copy paste websites and not real programming.
Having worked there- yes. Facebook has deadlines. So does work at every other company you named. Just because they aren't externally communicated doesn't mean there aren't deadlines.
For that matter, yes the linux kernel has deadlines. Eventually features get dropped from a version if they aren't ready.
I'd say TDD is highly overrated. Writing tests up front is a huge time sink, and on anything non-trivial you end up spending more time refactoring and fixing the tests as you refactor the interfaces than anything else. You should think about testing when you design something, but writing them first is always a waste of time.
It would be a huge challenge. First off, lights change. New ones go up. Secondly, GPS is not always accurate. The bounce around skyscrapers is particularly bad, I can be off several blocks randomly. Its very easy to be off by the hundred feet difference between a freeway onramp and an intersection light nearby. Thirdly- maps doesn't have this info. Fourthly- there's multiple types of metered lights. Some require not only 1 car per green, but alternating lanes.
Yeah, this kind of stuff isn't going to happen in the next few years. More like next few decades.
Its probably a problem differentiating a normal light from a metered light, and behaving as if it will remain green for more than a split second. A human can easily read the sign that says 1 car per green. A computer can't.
Because I have 0 use for a tablet, they're hard on the eyes, constantly need to be recharged, and provide oh so convenient avenues for privacy invasion. They also provide me no utility- the last time I decided to watch a movie when not at home was.... actually never. I'd go back to paper books before I got rid of my eink device. I'd buy an eink before I took a free tablet.
"Last in, first out" isn't the norm. If anything the opposite is true- when the shit really hits the fans companies tend to keep the cheaper, younger options.
One mistake in this approach (although they should definitely be able to give at least general answers to everything there). Assuming its not a direct recruiter, the first questions should be by them, asking what you're looking for in a job to see if its even a fit. If they don't give enough of a crap to even figure that out, they aren't worth your time.
(If its a direct recruiter that can be skipped, instead it will be more questions about the exact position).

Gender identity is about what you are- male, female, unsure, etc. Sexual identity is about what you want to fuck- male, female, both, etc.

I know plenty of people with 2 jobs. Sometimes at competitors. They're still employees.
