What things did you do to be "the perfect passenger"?

* Complimented the driver on his/her looks * Brought cookies * Always punctual * Provided shoulder to cry on when required

This is in fact sarcasm, right? Because I would think that following common courtesy and actually paying for the service you are receiving should be enough ;)

The idea that you have to put in effort to be the perfect customer of a service you are paying for is ridiculous.

This pattern is standard within SOA (Service Oriented Architecture). You have two classes of services: 1. Technical Services 2. Business Services The technical services may be REST, SOAP, etc. These deal with the nuts and bolts of: update this one thing, fetch a load of these things (where they are the same thing). The business services are usually some flavour of RPC JSON or XML, and only occasionally are REST (thin…

What is the relevance of this link, in the context of the discussion about Uber?

Uber policy dictated, at least at one point, to ask customers if they "had a prefered route"

Really!? I always find it very annoying to be asked that.

"Nope, up to you."

Not really worth being annoyed about.

I somehow have a 4, the lowest in this thread (that I've seen so far). I wonder what I did, I generally try to be polite to the drivers and I rarely use the service, so I suspect I got one extremely poor rating? I can't imagine when though. Anyway, looks like you can go and pull the token out of the page and just do curl https://m.uber.com/cn --data '{"messageType":"PingClient","token":"xxxxx","app":"client"}' | jq .…

I guess soon enough Chef's and restaurant's will be rating customers as well. In restaurant's there would be cutoff points for being a customer. You didn't pay enough tips in the last restaurant you were a part of - you are now bared from getting into a good restaurant now.

Joking above but the whole concept of dual rating scares me a bit .......

I ask a lot of questions: The Uber training, apparently, is that driver's should only ever rate their customers a 5, or a 1. That's it. A customer is either great and a 5, or an asshat and a 1.

Then why didn't Uber make it binary?

To avoid a db migration ;)

My twitter stream is now full of people, some of whom I am sure do not have the skill to evaluate if something is a JavaScript security threat or not, who have copied and pasted a random script they read on the internet into the developer console. Granted, this one is pretty simple and easier to evaluate than most, but still… you really get why Facebook hacked the console to warn people not to do that. edit: This twe…

What's the worst that could happen?

This would be really cool.

I think everyone can see colors, even color "blind" people. Those folks just have a hard time distinguishing between shades of particular colors. I don't think anyone's literally living in greyscale.

there are but it is very rare and comes with drastically limited eye sight anyways. Red/Green confusion is quite common though, there are estimates of up to 8% of ("western") males. Definitely a number to consider if you want your whatever to cater as many people on the market as possible.

The commoner kinds of red/green colorblindness, though, are by no means absolute. Most red/green colorblind men can tell highly saturated reds and greens apart -- they only have difficulty with low-saturation refs and greens.
