There is no tipping expectation with Uber, no matter what disgruntled drivers on reddit say.
Re:Hitchhiking’s Time Has Come Again on Sunday November 11, 2012 @07:34PM (#4771121)
I have successfully hitchhiked in western Europe, mostly France. It can take time to find a ride, but I (young middle class white male, clean shaven) was always picked up by ordinary folks just happy to help out. The trickiest part is finding a spot where people have the time to see you and slow down- in my experience, just before highway tolls is best.
The article outlines some (current) limitations in the car's judgement when evaluating the dangerosity of an object ahead. If/when this becomes mainstream, how long until pranksters and terrorists find ways to leverage limitations and cause accidents?

Sarcasm aside, I would be curious to see someone tried over an Internet form in a court of law.

Re:A standing desk for $22 on Tuesday June 19, 2012 @06:44PM (#4134581)
Does anyone actually use a standing desk daily? I get antsy and uncomfortable standing after just a few minutes. How people manage to get real work done with a setup like this is a complete mystery to me.
ssh-keygen (from OpenSSH) doesn't even let you create keys that short-- 768 bits and the default is 2048 bits for RSA keys, according to the man page.
As a non-citizen, I would not risk being labelled uncooperative by the border agents. Just because they cannot compell you to surrender your passphrase doesn't mean they couldn't hold it against you in the future (longer visa processing times, extra background checks).

As suggested in the pdf, a wiser approach is cross the border with an immaculate system and download your data afterwards.

It is. You can also pull and push to a remote repo just like any other git project.
