This fight is about public values. When it comes to city-wide transport and communications networks, serving everyone at a high basic level fairly—including drivers—is more important than permitting a single company to make enormous profits from a substitute basic private service.
To be honest, I'm not really sure what is trying to say here. Does anyone here get it?
I wish more people realized that. How many times have you seen people arguing, one side saying, "Regulation is bad!" and the other "Regulation is good!" It's one of the dumbest arguments ever, because both sides are wrong.
Some regulation is good, and some regulation is bad. If you want to know which is which, you need to actually look at the regulation itself.
Personally, I don't think healthcare coverage should be related to employment at all. It really doesn't make sense for them to be tied together, and makes people afraid of quitting a lousy job that they hate.
I generally avoided Uber, but last year I needed a taxi to get to the airport. I called two different taxi companies, and neither one had any taxis available to pick me up. Uber came right away, and was cheaper than a taxi.
Generally it's easier to get an Uber than a taxi, unless you're right in the middle of a big city. And it will be a long time before traditional taxi companies get their game together enough to equal that.
The IAB is a group that the ad industry takes seriously. Its made up of companies in the ad industry. It's a good way to measure what people in the ad industry are thinking.
How do you propose to solve that problem [of malware in ads]?
There are a couple ways:
1) Screen people who want to buy ads. Right now it's easy to do with no human interaction.
2) Text-only content (still have to worry about xss and validation mistakes, but that's a more tractable problem).
He's from the IAB, which actually is an important organizing group of advertising. They set standards for various protocols, etc.
So if he's saying it, it's not because users are thinking it; he's saying it because advertisers are thinking it.
The biggest problem with ads is malware. The article suggested a plan to avoid malware: encrypt the connection.
I don't see how that will fix any problem related to malware......the problem is that malicious people are allowed to buy ads. That is the problem they need to fix.
Are you confident in the security of.... the Internet at large?
Ha, what?
The internet is insecure by design. If you want your code to be secure, you must consider it a threat at all times, and not trust anything that comes from it.
That role would include setting security and privacy standards when V2I and V2V networks become operational.",
There's only one standard: "No security breaches."
We can follow that up with, "For each security breach, you pay a fine of X dollars, and a bounty to the discoverer."
That won't work perfectly, but it will work much much better than creating a list of coding standards. Create the incentive and people will find better ways to write good code than by following any silly 'standard.'
Yeah, that's right. If you use this, then you won't be locked in to a single cloud vendor.
Instead you'll be locked into Walmart's cloud platform. J/K it's open source, so devOps can keep you up; since devOps can do anything.
It fascinates me that Walmart has such a serious software team, though.
With that attitude, we'd all be using Fortran, Cobol, Lisp (okay, I like that idea) and Pascal instead of the newfangled stuff.
There are some big projects already using Rust. If it works out for them, then great. Otherwise, I don't want to rewrite all my stuff when language support is dropped.
Oh, yep, looks like you're right. Somehow along the way I had gotten the idea that the Europeans had incorrectly converted it to Imperial because they thought that is what NASA expected.
Specifically, K&R doesn't really teach you how to deal with memory leaks. It's good for learning the language, and one of my favorite programming books, but it's also an introduction, not a complete tutorial.
Rust has been developed by Mozilla for a specific problem they have, and their specific coding style. As far as I can tell it, works well for them and is a fine language.
Unfortunately, it's still in the "growing" stage of languages, and may never make it out of Mozilla world, and Mozilla themselves might even drop support, which means you're in trouble.
When you're choosing a language, you have to look at the entire ecosystem surrounding the language. It's not enough to look only at the language itself.
Slashdot Mirror
If you read the article, you'll see that they typically pay more than regular taxi companies, and provide about the same level of benefits.

You shouldn't say that anymore, because taxi drivers aren't necessarily any better off. The guy in that story was on Medicaid, you were paying for the taxi driver's healthcare.

At HP....morale is at an all-time low.
That is really saying something!
Standards? Citations please.
Things like VAST and VPAID. Seriously, you can look these things up.
I rarely get malware from ads or otherwise.
I don't know about you, but I don't even want to get malware "rarely"
In a way, that's bad because it means advertisers will start looking for ways to get around ad-block.

I liked Ebert so much, I stopped watching movies altogether and only read his reviews of them!
Now I have to read wikipedia. Oh well.

A gem extension is a way to call into C from Ruby. I think that's what the GP is referring to.
If I set aside the time to explore a cross-platform IDE and find that I like it, this nonsense will come to an end.
How are you using visual studio currently?
Yeah, that's right. If you use this, then you won't be locked in to a single cloud vendor.

And let's be honest, a $40k processor isn't really going to drive up the price of the project very much.
