Do you work out or do physical exercise of some sort? For me, that was/is the key to good sleep.

Writing is a highly underrated skill. Start practicing how to write effectively, to be succinct and precise.
Reading helps in more ways than you might imagine - voraciously read.
Build many things. They don't need to be large, they don't need to be fancy.

Unbroken - Laura Hillenbrand.
Story of human grit and survival in the Pacific WWII theater that I hadn't heard of before. I was blown away by the story, and about what I learned about the War that I didn't already know.
Creativity Inc. Re-read it this year, re-inspired.
The Outsider - Stephen King. Well written, engrossing but a typical Stephen King novel
Shoe Dog - Phil Knight. Story of Nike. Phenomenal.
Bad blood - John Carreyrou. Story of Theranos. Absolutely crazy read.
7 Powers: The Foundations of Business Strategy - Hamilton Helmer. Good insights on strategy

Not currently, unfortunately. The complexity of how the Dropbox client works is enough to not pollute libdropbox with at this time. The idea here is correct though - were we to rebuild it at this time, we would look at potentially abstracting a lot things into a libdropbox-like library

The ultimate fallback always is to revert to letting user sign in manually. Installation success doesn't depend on cookies, so that should be just fine.

UberX is essentially Lyft. Do you know if the driver involved was an UberX driver or a professional driver? His car make/model seems to indicate UberX.

What if the cause for the accident was that the driver was responding to a 'ride available' text from Uber? It's not a bad argument to say that Uber requires that drivers pay attention to their cell phone when not in an active ride, hence they should be liable when the driver is able to respond to pick up requests (ie, is looking to do a pickup)

Way to not apologize or really 'fix' the issue. For all users who don't opt out (which they don't say will be default) this vulnerability will still exist and be exploitable. They'll just make it (somewhat) harder.
