Uber has a history of sketchy behavior, such as investigating journalists who have written less than complimentary stories. Uber has basically done the Exact thing Fowler is explai…

It sounds like the criticism is "I hate that she might change her mind based on new evidence". I'd say its a good thing that they were willing to alter their policy based on whethe…

Consider the pressure / race to the bottom this puts on the rest of the EU though. The EU has an incentive to try to keep things fair between the states (disallowing sweetheart dea…

There's a whole article above about what laws were not followed and a solution that works for both parties: Apple pays the taxes it owes. If it is unhappy with that burden, it can …

If your cause is to decrease advertising on the web, and these actions diminish its effectiveness and potentially lead to decreased advertising in search of a better revenue stream…

Except they're pretty clearly private companies, not Public Goods. And as such, they can do basically whatever they want about speech on their platforms.

But the article doesn't argue for NO parking lots; it argues that FREE parking lots are the issue. The stores could stay open with paid parking, and could lower costs for non-drive…

I'm not sure how you can argue drones minimize foreign civilian casualties, given the constant reports of drones bombing weddings and social gatherings based on the location of a c…

I mean, Trump has also talked about banning legal muslim immigration from places like Syria; does that not count as anti-immigration?

Why can't we blame the democratic candidate, who was so unappealing to progressive voters that they preferred Nader? I would suggest it is the fault of that candidate (and his part…

I agree with all of this. a16z and other VC's are pretty clearly on the side of capital, and don't really believe that labor provides any value. Employee's taking lower salaries an…

You're saying we should ignore past bad behavior because Google, Facebook, etc. are good guys now. Logically, that would lead us to excuse current bad behavior by smaller companies…

Do you have a reference for that? Maybe some evidence of why you consider these numbers misleading? I worked in the tax business recently and I'd say both those numbers are actuall…

Doing this on LinkedIn would be really bad, because that data would be out there for recruiters, and you'd lose most of your leverage when trying to negotiate at a new job.

Another take on this issue is that the FBI and NSA have a strong opposing interest. While they may not lobby in the same sense as Apple etc., they do represent law enforcement, whi…

To be fair, H1Bs are already only supposed to be used in the case where you can't find an American for the job, which already suggests the visa holder should have some extra specia…

Sadly the phone system is an enormous legacy beast, so this is a lot easier said than done.

We use Mesos/Marathon/Docker extensively at my work as well, and Marathon has definitely been the flakiest of those three.

FYI, Stash is now Bitbucket Server, and the plan as I've heard it is to work towards feature parity between the two.

But in this case, the buyer already purchased the product.

"turning off" might be accomplished by something like breaking or unplugging the mic, or hiding it in the glove box (as was listed in the article). You are giving the officers unre…

Of course, in the other direction, private spending has it's own problems. Most of the money is spent on recurring conditions where you have to take the drug forever rather than on…

We use Stash (and Jira and Confluence and a bunch of Agile stuff). Its... ok. Its a lot better than some of the other self-hosted repositories we tried, but there are some rough sp…

It doesn't really change anything in Chicago. While it might be nice to get some individual corrupt official(s) where they belong, Chicago as a whole shows no evidence that it's be…

If it isn't profitable, maybe they shouldn't have signed contractual agreements and made promises to the govt related to their buildout. They've already gained large benefits from …
