I hate MLMs as much as the next guy, but "Silicon Slopes" does have some legitimate tech companies as well: Podium, Canopy Tax, MX, InsideSales, Pluralsight, Lucid, HireVue, Entrata, Workfront, Ancestry, Jolt, Teem to name a few.

Recently finished In Harm's Way by Doug Stanton. Extremely interesting read about a navy ship that sank near the end of WWII. The crew were not rescued for over four days.

Re:Uber drivers gang up to cause surge pricing, research says on Wednesday August 02, 2017 @12:33PM (#14912030)
Yup. Last week I left a Dodgers game in about the eighth inning, and there was a huge parking lot full of Ubers and tons of people were standing around waiting but couldn't find drivers. The drivers wait until the game ends and the masses exit so that the real surge pricing kicks in.

I briefly lived in Mexico last summer and this was my experience. Drivers would give out their personal number. This was also a more tourist-y area and they would try to pitch me on local spots that I should visit.

I wish Apple would use the same keys that they use on the new Magic Keyboard. Definitely less travel than outgoing MacBook Pros but still clicky and usable.

Looks like a quality channel for learning new programming skills. Can anyone recommend any other youtube channels for this sort of stuff? I've heard funfunfunction is also very good.
