That would be great for conferences if it wasn't for everything you mentioned plus high levels of govt corruption and IP theft. The lack of open Internet alone is enough that the vast majority of conferences simply cannot be held there

Jesus that's low. It's hard to even imagine a company making a political statement like that. Fuck Uber, the new Comcast

I feel like harm reduction can go a long way toward helping these people. After all, something like 50% of alcoholics, and I assume other drug users, eventually quit on their own and remain abstinent. Making it harder for "functional&q

This feels like the aftermath of the exploding hoverboards. Some products are safe but the standards are so inconsistent that the reputation of anyone building them will suffer equally. Personally I hope the cause wasn't a laser cutter

I'm not a huge fan of unions but you're wrong about wage drops. Uber is artificially flooding the service with drivers intentionally to drive down wages and therefore the cost of rides. Haven't you seen the insane amount of a

If illegal immigrants are not a burden why control immigration at all! Let's just let anyone that wants to come here fly on over. This would lead to the country being completely overwhelmed like is happening in Europe. Did Germany stop

We had a policy at my last place that any SQL joins alias the table name with a single character alias. The rule resulted in the most insanely confusing stored procedures I've ever seen. Whoever came up with that is a complete idiot

This sounds great but the TPP didn't include China, by far the biggest IP violator on the planet. The TPP was more of a giant conglomeration of things that various large companies in different countries wanted. The text of the agreemen

The biggest issue with illegal immigration is that is does not benefit the United States. A country is not a charity. The US would be far better off allowing the same number of people in but only those highly educated or those with a lot of

God this is a sappy piece that sounds like it came straight from the marketing Dept. Does one of the things you do for your drivers include not giving a shit about them? Because last year Uber left Austin Texas rather than comply with the c

How many of those previaled because deportation is politically unpopular in certain areas? There's a lot of places that won't deport you even for murdering someone, and indeed our prisons in some states are filled with loads of mu

I assume this is because some countries make it really easy to get citizenship. It would be quite a loophole to just hop over to country X for a few months then onto the US

Legal resident != Citizen. Until you have citizenship you can be sent back at any time for any reason. People get sent back or denied entry all the time for various reasons. What he did sucks but the media is making it out to be a much bigg

The ACA just piled onto the clusterfuck we already have. At a federal level we've already got Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, and now the ACA. Within medicare we have "parts" A through D that offer a bunch of intermingled benefi

None? What does government jobs have to do with equality? Well over half of US works for private companies already, the impact of no government jobs would be minimal if you ignore the obvious problem that we wouldn't have a government.

Federal jobs are a net negative for the economy. Private jobs are funded by profit from selling products. Federal jobs are funded by taking money from everyone to pay for them. Freezing federal hiring should have no short term effect on the

It's like going to battle in a ship that's already on fire. Get out as soon as you can, if it's a huge struggle to make it to launch things are just going to get worse

Trump for all his craziness is vehemently pro business. I know the whole tech crowd wants him to crash and burn but the stock market rising is no surprise to me. Whether it's worth the damage done to the poor and the environment is yet

Your underlying assumption that everyone working on the code will be skilled is wrong in any large team. It's not like it takes a lot longer to read a 3 line if statement than a ternary operator. Terse code isn't much faster to re

The only company's architecture I've respected consistently over the years is google. For all the interesting stuff they do their work seems very practical and down to earth. Simple choice of languages. Really solid core libraries

I always work with a few developers that complain about my long variable names and aversion to certain shortcuts like ternary operators. They don't understand that unclear code is probably the number one cause of technical debt. Nobody

I have and always will despise WebEx. It's the most non user friendly enterprisey garbage I've ever dealt with. Good luck using it if you have a single non technical client on call.

So... When do you reach the point Where it's better to just use a hashtable in ram? Super high speed "in memory" databases are still beat by manipulating the data structures yourself. I feel like there's very limited app

It's not that I don't know them, it's that only idiots roll their own instead of using libraries. Every time I see a regex cleaning strings I instantly know the app was written by an ametuer and probably horrible and full of

Wha? This is pure stupidity. If you choose to show ads in third world countries AdWords will show them constantly in those areas since the cost per click is so low. It's not their fault you used the default setting to minimize cost per
