When Mr. Durov sold his stake in VKontakte last December, there was speculation it was worth a few hundred million dollars. Mr. Durov would not give a specific figure, citing a nondisclosure agreement. [...] “I’m very happy right now without any property anywhere,” he added. “I consider myself a legal citizen of the world.”
When your net-worth is 7 figures at a minimum, that's a bit easier to do.
Dont forget LiquidThreads. Which has been replaced by Flow, which will get replaced by something else, ad nauseum. It's basically a make-work program at this point.

Thanks to the unpaid community volunteers. About the only thing I can point to in the recent history done by a paid team that was mildly successful was the Vector skin. Remember how awesome LiquidThreads was that it got deployed everywhere? Oh wait.
Specifically things like dependency injection and modifying existing libraries to suit your purpose without having to touch the code of the core library [...] When I learned that on the fly I could inject or replace a method in a core object at load time
That sounds like an utter nightmare. 2 + 2 = 4, except when we patched + to mean something else.
Alabama, home of the Marshall Space Flight Center, which is NASAs rocketry and spacecraft research center. Nah, no way this is a political move to protect their investment.
There is, pretty useless though. Older versions of the spec were so vague it was implemented differently by different companies which completely broke any concept of a 'standard'.
adding another distribution channel isn't really selling out
They're not. They're removing. You used to be able to watch the back catalog on SPS whenever you wanted. Now you just get a limited rotating selection.
Nobody will offer a flat fee because credit card networks dont offer a flat fee. They're not going to pay out to Visa/Novus/etc just so shoppers can have cheaper payments.
> The near-universal complaint is the star rating system. For those who don't know: Uber requires drivers maintain a FOUR AND A HALF STAR RATING or they're "fired."
That's not unique to Uber, that's pretty much for any service industry based job.

DoS the hidden site, see where the traffic ends up. Rinse, repeat.
God damn you.
Maybe they came after Katz then. I just remember they were the next prolific mass poster everybody hated.
Bennett is just the latest incarnation of Katz and that other guy before him who I've thankfully forgotten the name of.
who remembers all the acronyms?
SD, SDHC, SDXC, SDIO, BFG, LOL, WTF
(lameness filter, blah blah blah)
That works almost nowhere in the real world.
I know in my field, if you fail to report your neighbor if you know they violated policy, even if you did nothing else, they'll fire you too.
The 14th doesn't count?
my $sql = 'SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar IN (' .join(',', ('?') x @array) . ')';
Totally hard.
You must be new here. I remember the Bush era /. when nearly every other article was complaining about Bush.

Nowhere in TFA does it say why a Factory Data Reset wont fix that.

Because that's standard credit card fees. There's really no room to cut fees without paying out.
Not sure if serious. You have to meet your goal to get the money.
Yes, and Uber explicitly states that it is up to the driver to remain compliant. Drivers aren't Uber employees, they're independent contractors.

> And a follow up, with your drivers providing transport for a fee, when will Ãoeber require the drivers to be licensed appropriately ?
They already do.
> When a regular driver uses their car for a transportation service, regular insurance doesn't cover an accident. Does über care ?
Uber Black+ already require a commercial license and commercial insurance
> When will über become a legitimate business and require the appropriate licensing and insurance from their drivers ?
Uber isn't a transportation business. Uber connects drivers with passengers. The driver is responsible for licensing and insurance.
> Uber is a scam that circumvents legality for short term profit. Is uber a pump and dump scam that never intends to be legal ?
Do you work for Yellow Cab?
> Do you intent to ever actually obey the local laws with your taxi services or just keep trying to find loopholes to hide in?
Uber requires a commercial license for Uber Black and above.
