The real world don't care about feelings.Feelings are extremely subjective making these kind of statements quite vague.
As a person with alexithymia, this is so confusing, I have no idea what "feels good" is supposed to mean. I know it's not bad, but that's a big spectrum of meaning. Good doesn't mean great or brilliant either. Just confusing.
Sounds similar to here in NL. Ubder drivers need to be licensed taxi drivers with all the appropriate permits and insurances.
There are taxi companies, but people are free to get a taxi permit and be a taxi driver without a boss. These guys use Uber now, and it seems to be working good.
The rating of drivers and customers seems to be well received, especially from my conversations with drivers. Also you have history in the Uber app, so if something happens, you forgot something, you know which car and which driver, or the driver knows which customer. This is almost impossible in a regular taxi unless you take time to bother to write down the driver details and the taxi car number.
There is still some issues with drivers not getting appropriately compensated for trips, and there's been a lot of attention to drivers not getting the extra cut of the surge pricing, Uber takes it all. Obviously not fair, but in the bigger picture of things it is good.

Obviously, this doesn't comply with the GDPR, and makes the site unreadable for some.
You don't have to be a customer for GDPR to apply to you, they just have to collect PII from you to be considered the data subject and now the organization need to follow GDPR.
If you collect data from me when I visit your website, even without me buying anything, you have now collected data and you need to comply.
The use of the word "customer" in this context is incorrect.
That's exactly why the GDPR is put in place, to give users transparency and force website to ask the users consent before tracking.
You'll see some sites have quite an extensive menu of opting in to various tracking etc. For example Engadget or TechCrunch have a popup asking you to give consent, or not, before using the website. This is how it should be done.
Then there's other websites that shows you all it's tracking and ask you to just accept, there's no option to refuse, which is against GDPR, as implied consent is no longer valid.
And then you'll have websites like latimes that just goes "fuck it, we'll just block 500 million people in EU instead!"
Is the article available to Europeans somewhere? All I'm getting is a message with this:
> Unfortunately, our website is currently unavailable in most European countries. We are engaged on the issue and committed to looking at options that support our full range of digital offerings to the EU market. We continue to identify technical compliance solutions that will provide all readers with our award-winning journalism.
On the other hand, I'm wondering how much I want to read an article from a website where they must track me to when I just want to read something...
> Whenever a change in any service is merged to master, the CI rebuilds _all_ the services and pushes new Docker images to our Docker registry.
Why are you rebuilding _all_ the services, wouldn't it make sense to just rebuild the ones that have changes? You're now rebuilding perfectly working services without any new changes just because some other service changed, or am I misunderstanding something here?
I totally agree with this. The best interviews I've had with candidates have gone like this, and not only do you get a feel for their knowledge in a subject in a more relaxed way it also gives you a bit of a feeling if this person would fit in the team or not.
Being on the other side of the table, interviews done this way has landed me in my most interesting/best jobs, and in the best teams, in my opinion.
This seems more about capacity planning your application when running in the cloud.
I was hoping for some insight when you're hosting your own private cloud, that seems quite a bit more tricky. It's easy to prepare to scale up/down your deployment when all the hardware is already there, but when you're the one running the actual cloud and need to do the same, you can't just do an API call and suddenly have another 100 U of servers and switches racked, cabled and provisioned.
