Isn't there some way to emit C from C++? Wouldn't a capability like that and using C as a host language completely bypass the need for emulating OOP in C, by just letting you write C++? That seems like it would be far more manageable, and since it's compiled, not susceptible to some of the major downsides commonly associated with the technique (in JS).
I believe you still have to use a third-party package (https://github.com/meteorhacks/npm), but it's quite easy to use and I've never had any problems with it.

It goes both ways: it prevents a corrupt government from trying to overtax you by just saying you made more than you did, and it could prevent corporations from evading taxes.
Ask HN: Software with tiered dependencies – A reliant on B reliant on C
I want to keep this is as abstract as possible. I have a project where a high-level component "C" relies directly on "B". In turn, "B" relies directly on "A" so "C" indirectly relies on "A" too.

Therefore, the hierarchy is C->B->A.

Currently, all of these components are in active development and are having major changes made. Changing anything in A is requiring adapting of code in B which in turn requires adapting of code in C. Changing B requires modification of A.

My question is if anybody has advice on how to avoid this and to some degree mitigate the issue to make development of "B" and "A" easier without breaking upstream components.

In my specific situation, the actual components are "C" = an object/model handling class, "B" = an abstract version of that class with common functions for all the models, "A" = a database handler. So I hope you see how changing A or B requires rewrites of C and/or B.
I will never fully forgive the nurse who informed me in 1998 that I had AIDS and that I needed set up a living will and get my affairs in order before I began experiencing "cognitive decline." It turned out I didn't have AIDS but a highly treatable parasitic infection from time spent working in the Amazon.
Well, not in Canada. So instead of paying through the nose for a second opinion you have the guilt of possibly squandering taxpayer money by having more doctors spend more time on you.

No thank you. With regards to my government, I would like to see more privacy rather than less. This seems to give me less.

I do like the idea of complete transactional privacy between end users and/or merchants. But we already have this today with CryptoNote based cryptocurrencies like Monero - with optional transparency through "view keys".
It seemed like in the 90's bagel franchises took off, and then were killed when low-carb/Atkins became popular.

I love bagels but unfortunately they are really something I only enjoy fresh. A refrigerated bagel is just weird.
Not most. All.
All programs have bugs and most people can't write even a simple "hello world" program that doesn't contain bugs (in the program itself, the runtime or, underlying OS or even hardware firmware below it). Fact is: execute a program and there will be an exploitable bug somewhere. Fact of life.

The correct thing to do is build a shit ton of housing. But that will never happen politically. So I was simply offering a solution that might be attainable.
height minimums would be great.

It's almost disgusting walking around ~8th st soma and seeing single story car maintenance places or strip malls take up entire blocks. Tear them down and build rows and rows of 5 story to 20 story apartments.

As for Dallas (err... THE METROPLEX), it isn't a peninsula with restricted growth, crappy highways, and old money refusing anything new that doesn't look like a quaint bombed out city from the old country. I still don't understand why south san francisco looks like a 3rd world country. Eminent domain the whole area and build neotokyo on top of the existing shanty town.

Not sure what you're going on about.

Nobody (well, outside of outliers) drinks "straight ethanol".

And of course taste is a personal matter, but denying that alcoholic drinks can and do taste good for people is crazy talk.

Millions of people can very much discern the taste of drinks (and anything else for that matter), and are not "alcoholics", and yet enjoy wine, beer and tons of other things, including hard liquor (from whiskeys to ouzo).

Well not commercial beer in the US, so you got a point there).
Not even in developed countries! If you go to the US for example you will find people doing everyday transactions such as wage payments, taxis or grocery shopping still using pieces of paper with numbers on them. You have to see it to believe it.
How to count the number of set bits in a 32-bit integer?
Oh very very true. They start becoming more useful for group projects.

We taught what what needed, but students (in learning to be self resourceful) will often google things, try tutorials, read on stack overflow, etc... and sometimes get themselves turned around. Git is a big piece of software to understand completely I guess, and even if you only show someone a small bit, they are likely to get confused at some point when they are trying to go deeper.

As an interesting and certainly unintentional thing, we discovered at one point that the words git uses to describe commands are often daunting to students. Commit and blame in particular. At one point we found many students weren't making enough commits, or sometimes none and were reluctant to turn in their homework. Through meeting in some 1:1's, we discovered that some of the students felt that if their work wasn't perfect, they didn't want to "commit" to it and that the word held too much power seemingly- they thought maybe there was something deeper to it.

This probably sounds silly, but when teaching people who are new to programming there are all sorts of preconceived notions that can really hold people back, and this was one of them.

If a government is already having trouble collecting funds it is owed, this currency will not help it. The government would just be faced with two problems instead of one.

At least this suite is dated slightly into the future, for just a tad extra shelf longevity. I would have thought Office would eventually follow the footsteps of Windows, though, and drop the dates by now.
> If you don't have a C++ compiler, and you end up having to re-invent C++ in C, then maybe you should have picked the chip with decent tools.

I've been using it for about a month and its one of the better LendingClub auto-investors out there. By far the best interface, but the fee is a little steep, though the fee only takes effect after investing 10k though them. I've rolled my own auto-investor in the past and used the one on NSRPlatform(free for accounts <20k). I'm planning switch over to LendingRobot 100% when I can't use NSRPlatform for free anymore.

Here's my shameless referral for lending robot https://www.lendingrobot.com/ref/YehMn307/ (you get 10k free, I get 5k more free)

Except perhaps that very idea--they won't know not knowing.
You're describing an observational study, which has significant scientific problems compared to a randomized study.

Sure, you can end up with a lot of non-drinkers, but you will have to attempt to correct for the fact that they probably won't be similar to drinkers.

A randomized study starts off with 2 very similar populations. You still have to worry about dropouts skewing the results, but at least you started off on the right foot.
I've yet to come across a situation where something I wanted to do didn't a) have an existing Meteor package, or b) have an npm package that you can include using meteorhacks:npm by arunoda. I'm using Meteor for two enterprise-grade b2b projects (so: reasonable scale) and as far as I'm concerned the package ecosystem is freakin awesome.

Is there a possibility to request the backed up data in physical form.

Let's say I backed up 8 TB of data for a small business, and I need to restore in 24 hrs, is it possible to request overnight shipments of hard drives of data so I can do the restore locally instead of taking weeks to download all that data

I know amazon has this feature, not sure about google.

Another question, what's the max number of buckets can an account hold?

There's two cautionary lessons here, and I've found (anecdotally) that they respond to two schools of thought. One is: The signage should have been more thorough, specifying what domain-expert was required to remove its restrictions and enable writes. The other is: The DEC Engineer should have known that while he was a domain expert in tape-drives, he did not have knowledge of why that sign had been put there in the first place, and should have done some non-invasive diagnostics before removing it (or just asked). He made an assumption about why there was a taboo, but did not check it.

The question remains, why would anyone choose to use a system like this? Wealthy individuals and companies (aka those with most of the money) have a vested interest in having their transactions not easily tracked by the government.
If you find this article interesting you might consider the book "How Doctors Think". It's basically an entire book dedicated to the subject of misdiagnosis and how our modern medical system has some systematic flaws that contribute to it. If I think about just how often I'm incorrect in trying to diagnose an electronics or software problem, and how little time an average doctor spends on a problem, it's not surprising to me that anything that is remotely outside the norm could be easily misdiagnosed. For me the takeaway is to just accept that for common problems doctors can do a great job, but if you have a condition that is not making progress despite seeing a doctor be open to the fact their diagnosis could be incorrect. I had a minor problem with my ears a few months ago, went to a doctor, was given a diagnosis and treatment which temporarily improved the condition but did not seem to eliminate it. Went to another doctor a few weeks ago, given a different diagnosis and treatment. There you go.

This is just the reverse of the (also bad) argument that people who advocate for higher taxes shouldn't be taken seriously unless they voluntarily donate some of their income to the government. For example: http://bleedingheartlibertarians.com/2012/04/want-higher-tax....
Does it use GNUnet? I only see them mention REST here, HTTPS there.

As to the carder-friendlyness: credit card companies are known to treat payment aggregators with lots of suspicion, so I suppose there just won't be many credit-card-to-Taler "banks".
You do realize that governments make the laws, and that they can just raise taxes rather than try to dispute your tax report?

I hope you're an exception. Tipping on the full amount should be a fairly well-known practice. Also, your receipt will probably show the original price and the final, discounted price. You shouldn't need to remember the menu.

First, what Thiel is trying to do (which neither of us will know for sure) is irrelevant to the question of what other approaches we might adopt for answering variations on the question, "How has the pace of technological development changed, if at all, over time?"

Second, how those those gains are distributed is likewise irrelevant to that particular question. Not that they're irrelevant to other questions, or that they're unimportant, or uninteresting, or that this is the only question we can ask. The careful reader will notice that neither Thiel nor I really commented on the otherwise important and interesting question of how gains are distributed. That's just something you threw in.

Third, it's not "my graph." I linked to a Wikipedia article written by other people and which contains no fewer than four graphs at the time of this writing, and none of them were created by me.
Don't get me wrong, I'd happily do away with the whole tipping culture and just have the entire price printed on the menu. But, as long as we have tips, take the time to learn how to do it right.

This is really the main point. Similarly, you're free to decide that it's gross to shake hands with the people you meet, but you should be aware that you're acting outside of cultural norms.
This is getting into conspiracy territory, but we are talking about a government that intercepts networking equipment while it's being shipped, disassembles it, installs hardware back-doors, and then delivers it. Strong arming any US software company that has a near universal install base isn't really a stretch of imagination.

It's havok upon more than just lower income earners. That is the most ironic part of it to me, the tech industry is doing this to itself, like a dog trying to chew off its own tail. When you're earning a lot and spending a lot you feel like you are doing well, even if your net savings is close to zero. I've found this attitude especially prevalent among younger folks. The real beneficiaries in a gold rush are the landlords, the government (more taxes), and vandwellers who can effectively arbitrage the high wage-high cost of living gap.

I assume you meant not a great city if you're trying to raise a child?

Between the insane rent and child care costs... it's just not worth it. ~$4k/mo for a 2 bedroom and then you're looking at $1k+/mo for one kid in daycare. I've been living in SF for the past five years and despite how much I like it, I'll probably move out with a baby on the way.

That is already true, and with the means of transfers available (cash, gold, banking system, etc...) public institutions still give the public some confidence in that they manage to tax everyone, and pursue those who evade.

If a currency system was available that made taxation appear entirely optional to the public the trust in the tax system would erode in a hurry (Why should I pay when my neighbor or Acme inc. isn't paying?). Tax morale is alreay too low in many countries. Making more loopholes available would just not be good.
When doctors "practice" medicine they aren't saying "We're amateurs just like band practice." They're just using the traditional wording. You also here this with other older professions like law.

Regardless of the type of tax, roads have been built by governments using tax revenue since history began. [1] Is your grievance with personal income tax in particular or taxes in general? Because for taxes to work at all, there needs to be some way for governments to have some visibility on the flow of cash in the economy, right?

You mean "we never had government roads before..."

Obviously people managed to move themselves from place to place prior to the 19th century... roads are far, far older than that.

I guess it's true that, had I tipped at all in that instance, I would have tipped based on what I paid on the night. Bearing in mind the Groupon was already paid for, that wouldn't have been a lot.

Having said that, I also went for a great Groupon meal somewhere else, which included a cocktail that was so good I had another 2, bought more food on top and ended up paying as much as a 'regular' meal would have been elsewhere (and tipped accordingly for the good service). That was the exception to the rule, though, even based on a very small sample size.
