- the article will appeal to the CIO readers who wonder why that job is so hard and complicated.... surely not really and so will be read and - the article is completely wrong as this person is writing for CIO mag and why cant a cookery writer do the same or better for less - indeed why is there a CIO mag at all
but please do not forget that Uber is a minicab service.
One way of being more efficient is to not pay the same overheads in terms of insurance / safety - and this is what they are doing. Another is to pay drivers less - and this is what they are doing.
Moving on to real things,
if they operate cabs on a UK ambulance model (you use software to place ambulances near likely calls), they might be more efficient if they minimise their own costs, they might be more efficient
On was it a russian...chances are it was. was it the russian govt - that is a big step and really hard to prove - don't forget, much like many other private organisations/individuals, these guys are for hire - it could have been my hamster who paid for it.
On Clinton / Trump It worries me that you Americans - on both sides - seem to lose sight of the fact that someone may disagree with your politics and still be a good person and have genuine and reasonable reasons for holding their opinion. Personally I think it is at least partly because some of the bad things the other side says are true (on both sides) and to stop thinking about that you hold closer to your chosen man|woman and shout louder at the other woman|man.
There also seems to be a view that if you dont vote trump|clinton you are effectively voting clinton|trump
Personally I think they both have serious issues. If I had a vote in this election (and I dont) I would not vote for either. I would look for a way of saying that neither of these are good enough for the job.
In the UK they report on the number of spoilt ballots. if that number got be be something like the margin of victory, in a reasonably democratic country it should give the political classes as a whole pause.
It is a bit like the output from the Enigma machine, if you used the knowledge too much, the Germans would have worked out that they were being 'Hacked' and then start doing something else that could not be 'hacked' in the same way.
however, you can be better placed to pick up the pieces.
US citizens may be able to correct me, but I thought that the CIA was only allowed to snoop outside the US
All the people who use a blockchain for bitcoin need that blockchain to have 'integrity' - no edits and it is in all actors interests to behave (you would hope). Also bitcoins are not fungible.
If you are barclays bank and have made a mistake, no-one at Citibank gives a s***. Also USD/GBP is fungible.
2 Blockchain + Editing tool + N 'clients' = N copies of the database
3 Blockchain + Editing tool + N 'clients' + M 'concurrent edits' = chaos
I have a suggestion - Use a proper database. Does your $multi-billion business depend on this blockchain|database|record, If it does - Use a proper database, keep it safe.
If Uber was a ride sharing company then the sharer would share - which means not charge at all, or at most charge for half the petrol used.
As soon as you charge more than that you are not sharing anymore, you are a taxi (do the knowledge in London) or a minicab (stick to the regs) or illegal.
I can see no problem with most of the regs - you want to know the driver can drive, has not been disqualified, passes basic pnc checks (not a wanted criminal), the car is safe and has proper insurance and you wont get ripped off on the fare.
Uber's reasonable complaint imo is that the TFL is under pressure to set a minimum 5m wait time.
I think you are talking about the de havilland mosquito
Interesting article. Turns out that £ for £ it made 4.95 times more damage than lancasters etc.
Well, one thing flies from a flagpole and the other thing was used to kill lots of people.
What do I know?
From the pov of someone living in the US, having the confederate flag waved at them may be a fate worse than being shot dead.
That makes sense.
Clearly the confederate flag killed those innocent people.
Nothing to do with the gun.
I suppose the dukes of hazard will be removed from youtube.
Chances are they will treat us as a holiday destination, or a research station.
Chances are they wont be that interested in the earth,
you people are so planetist

We are better off ...

the kb on my x220 is super, colleagues using x230/24/0/250 have the calculator style keyboards and they do suck imo
You are a Walmart supplier using AWS
Walmart asks you to do a thing
chances are you store more data or more frequently or differently
Amazon doesnt need to hack the db or look or anything
Just like the TLAs use metadata, Amazon can use traffic analysis to work out what is happening
Key point:
Completely legally - they will not be peeking at the data at all - just a special case of optimising AWS.
Maybe,

Wake me up when I can walk to the other side of my display and see the back of the actors heads.
When you can do that it is real 3d.
Pls mod parent up.

The turing test tests that you can persuade someone else you are a human or a computer by interacting via text.
Perhaps the real test of intelligence is whether or not you can break out of the simulation.
Probably need to explain why chaos

I have always wondered why aliens capable of crossing interstellar distances would be interested in living on planets.
I am sure they are nice to visit for a holiday or something like that..
But what civilised person would really choose to live at the bottom of a gravity well?
Having seen a SAP implementation recently, I would say 'low-code' would be a step up.
sir, I think you are referring to the famed iprod (tm)
Sir, you have been watching too much die hard.
Like terrorists, they only have to succeed once.

you are under 40 and _dont_ use facebook or google ... suspicious in and of itself!
part of the definition of a singularity is that you dont notice anything as you pass the boundary, but are unable to communicate with the other side.
