    For uber you don't need a rating at all. The tracking system knows if they were late, if they took a good route and if they dropped you off at the wrong location. Anything really b…

    Thanks! That was a pleasant read. I have been wanting to mess with cgroups for a while, in order to hack together a "docker" like many have done before to understand it better. Thi…

    If I see a cute cartoon with a cryptocurrency mining like "KHash/s" thing I am gonna leave that site real quick! It should explain it isn't mining and just verifying the browser or…

    Eye roll. I get capitalism. It's OK. Just say "we do capitalism". Why pretend otherwise?

    Well done. No mean fear getting to 250k. I hope you can get to 1M as hiring people with just 250K is challenging (unless you are not paying yourself).
