They could have disabled all pickups at JFK in true solidarity.

I don't think disabling surge pricing is a show of solidarity. With Taxis striking, surge pricing would have skyrocketed. This feels more like Uber just wants to preempt an inevitable news story about how surge pricing hit 10x or something during the taxi strike, which would be bad PR.

The article did say that Uber is working with its affected drivers to provide legal assistance. So, again, they're just protecting themselves. The company has practically no moral compass.

No other President except Clinton.

Wait. Did you just tell him to "read the rules" because he keeps telling other people to "read the article"? Why not try obeying the rules yourself, for once.

Both parties have had a _significant_ hand in it, dating back to GHWB and Clinton. Don't you forgot that either, lest we remember Obama as anything other than a President who liked droning brown people.

> Guys, Donald Trump might be President. We need to speak out in our support for Clinton.

Donald Trump becomes our democratically elected President.

> Guys, _now_ is the time to take a stand against Donald Trump.

No, the time was 6 months ago. You failed.

It is astounding to me how little respect Silicon Valley elites have for the democratic process. This article is another instance of the continued marginalization of the massive voter base who voted for Trump, and, if it were read by them, would do nothing but convince them that Trump was the right choice.

How about, instead of saying "Trump is really bad", we encourage those in power to work with him and find solutions to the problems he has highlighted that work across the isle? Sam is just perpetrating class and party politics with this article, and its infuriating.

> How Uber and Airbnb Won

The game never ends. No one wins. They can only be "winning".

I wouldn't go that far. Docker very specifically relies on Linux containerization technology, and this will likely never change. Docker for Windows or OSX only work because they have a small Linux VM running 24/7 on your machine, and all Docker commands are piped through to it.

Most of the time, that rebuild is as simple as "just push a new version"; if the base image is something like Ubuntu 16.04, it will get the update automatically with the next clean build. We already trust the maintainer to write good code that does what I expect; this is just one more thing.

But what you described is literally "the worst case scenario is as bad as before (building my own images), but it would commonly be better". I'll take that any day.

Also, a lot of apps don't need a full linux distro shipped with them. If your binary is statically linked (like, for example, anything written in Go), the docker image can start from scratch, resulting in an image only a few megabytes large and with no issues like you outline.

Less likely, no. Easier to fix, yes. There is only one thing that can break: Docker. And Docker is developed by a company who's job it is to fix their software. With homebrew, we rely on each package maintainer to fix their software, and that fix to be pushed to homebrew.

Honestly, that's so much easier and faster than dealing with native dependencies sometimes.

I have to disagree. Completely.

First: Your theory isn't new. It's been discussed to death here and elsewhere.

Second: There's no evidence that content creators are actually leaving the Mac. It's easy to look at the new machines and Apple's trends and conclude that, but go look on Youtube at any major content creator. FCPX is still popular. If not, Adobe on OSX is still very popular. I'm not suggesting that no one has left, but I don't think it's significant enough to move the dial.

Third: There is little evidence that their dedication to professional machines is wavering on a systemic level. Removing the 17"? Come _on_. That had to have been their worst selling model; anyone who needs a screen that large would just plug into an external monitor. Discontinuing the Mac Pro? It isn't discontinued; they've actually promised updates to desktops soon. Yes, they let it get old in the tooth for a while. But I will be willing to accept this argument only if 2017 passes us with no upgrades.

The MacBook Pro has its issues. It is, absolutely, ahead of its time with its port selection. The only port it is truly lacking that professionals should miss is the SD card slot, and I will grant you that is unfortunate and unlikely to be fixed. Weak processors? Go look at the Intel ARK and tell me what mobile processors Apple could have put in this machine but didn't. This is Intel's fault, not Apple's. Weak graphics card? Yup, I'll give it to you, a GTX 1050/1060 would have been incredible. No 32GB ram option? Unfortunate.

But the issues I am describing are not systemic. They are going to be fixed in the next gen model. The pains you're seeing today are just the "early adopter pains" we get with every brand new Apple product.

Fourth: I can literally tell you why their sales dropped 10%, right here. Ready? No MacBook Air refresh. No iMac refresh. No Mac Mini refresh. That's it.

Apple's Mac sales are not, in _any_ way, propped up by professionals. Don't flatter yourself and this industry with moving the needle at all on Apple's bottom line. They are propped up by average joe consumers, and this market segment was hurt very badly in 2016 through Apple's unwillingness to cater to them.

Apple's lack of updates to the Mac Pro has been unfortunate, but hasn't hurt their bottom line. Apple's lack of updates to the MBA (last update: March 2015), Mac Mini (last update: October 2014) and iMac (last update: October 2015) are literally what is causing this 10% drop. The machines are stale, and people know it.

Apple fixes this by refreshing their desktop lineup (which they have literally said they are going to do, and Apple _never_ tells us anything) and dropping the price of the MB/MBP (also seems likely).

Finally: I would remind you to not confuse "Apple is giving up on creatives" and "everyone else is getting better at servicing them." Microsoft has been doing a stellar job lately, and Windows and its accompanying hardware is better than it has ever been.

I'm not as confident about this. In my experience, there are many "legacy" businesses who have adopted something as simple as Azure Active Directory, migrating off of their on-prem solution.

Office 365 was, really, Microsoft's foot in the door to migrate people to Azure. Now, Azure AD is a foot in the door to other Azure services. And if Azure can come in and up-sell them on things like website and database hosting, with big support contracts to match, that's pretty huge.

AWS will continue to dominate among more modern businesses who have developers on staff. But I genuinely think Azure will see a lot of success servicing legacy customers who are used to the microsoft ecosystem and don't have m/any developers on staff.

All that being said; Personally: Azure is a pile of crap, with practically no redeeming qualities. I have no doubt it will do well with legacy businesses, but I really wish it wouldn't.

What a strange find.

Its a pretty huge deal if you store passwords for websites that you don't want other people to know you even have an account for. Like, say, a dissident in a politically oppressed country having an account for the US immigrations website.

Installation was surprisingly easy.

And performance was surprisingly good. `find /Applications` results in...

- Unrecoverably crashing Hyper - 1:28 iTerm2 - 0:32 Terminal - 0:20 Alacritty

Very impressive stuff. I'll be keeping an eye on this project.

And performance was surprisingly good; a `find /Applications` on my computer crashes Hyper, takes 1:28 on iTerm2,

I would argue that implementing it, especially in situations where you need to create a new reducer, requires a huge amount of boilerplate for something that feels like it shouldn't. Considering 75% of what you use redux for is getting and setting simple variables, I don't know why actions and reducers have to be so copy-pasty.

The core idea of Flux, and the theory behind Redux, is very simple. But I personally dislike Redux.

Consumer 4K is definitely 3840x2160. Its likely 10K is the same situation; there are multiple resolutions that fall under that banner, but the consumer version will be 1.77 aspect ratio.

I'll be very blunt: In situations like this, they are far far closer to the code than an armchair observer like you. I trust their engineers far more than I respect your pithy complaints.

This is only tangentially related to what you say, but I do like reminding people of this when we talk about laptop batteries.

FAA regulations state that single batteries larger than 100Wh cannot be brought on commercial flights. This guides a LOT of hardware development; why do you think the battery in the MBPr pre-2016 was 99Wh?

While that's a funny definition of the word, technically speaking the word "countless" does mean "too many to count".

I'm curious if this situation would be different if the Echo was owned by the victim, and the murder happened at the victim's house.

There wouldn't have been any auxiliary advantages to switching to full TB2.

TB2/mDP can't carry power. It was physically a much larger port, which means they couldn't scale down the size of the machine. And, ultimately, mDP is a much less useful port than the universally standard USB-C.

That's because you don't need an adapter to use DisplayPort with TB3 (on the MBP). Just purchase the correct [1] cable; the MBP implements DP as an alternate mode.

> The nullification of a member state's unfair tax law seems fine

Given the climate around Brexit and the fact that Ireland is fighting back on this ruling with Apple, it is astounding to me that you think this is "fine".

It is a statement block. You need to say

    f => ({ pizza })

to get an object literal. This isn't that hard to understand.

I'm not sure I feel comfortable talking about morality when banks are involved.

You better get to believing, because it is right within the realm of reality. Chrome is _terrible_.

I think the better way of phrasing this is that the growth of data vastly outpaces our ability to implement advancements in speed technologies.

Moving your community to another platform which has a better history of respecting their users isn't metaphorically similar to burning your house down. Its more like immigrating to Canada because Trump won.
