I like this definition. Anecdote time.

My great-grandfather left his home at the age of 12 to work in a coal mine and send money home to his mother. I'd say he was as much an adult as any college grad today.

My wife's grandpa managed a dairy farm. He got sick once when my wife's dad was 10 years old. Her dad milked the cows so her grandpa could rest and get over his illness. He hasn't stopped milking cows twice a day for 50 years. I'd say he was an adult at 10.

My dad was taught to work like a man from an early age, but was also taught to drink to excess. I remember when he got his last DUI. I was about 11 years old. I'd say that was when he finished growing up.

The dividing line between childhood and adulthood for me is a total blur between the ages of 18 and 28.
That does not contradict what I said. When choosing the type, all you need is a type that has at least the range you require, and the basic types give guaranteed minimum ranges.

The only advantage to choosing an exactly-N-bit type over an at-least-N-bit type is possibly saving some space in very large allocations. In most cases this won't be important - and when it is, the mininmum-width types from stdint.h (eg int_least32_t) are more apropos than the exact-width types.

The disadvantage is the impedance mis-match with all the existing libraries of code using the basic types.
Well, no. The federal government acquires a chunk of land (by conquest or purchase). It becomes a territory. Who owns the land (all of it)? The federal government.

Eventually the feds decide to organize a state in that area. The day Congress passes the bill of statehood, who owns the land? The new state? Only if the bill of statehood said that the land transferred.
I can't help but feel that I'm doing this right now.

Hmmm, I wonder if it's possible to come to this realization just by thinking about it, and not having to hit rock bottom.

HMMM
Just because an issue was co-adopted by parties doesn't make it inherently a partisan political issue. Technically it opposes both parties in federal gov, as the representatives in question are state level and opposing any federal intervention.
What you described is called being responsible for yourself and others, and responsible feels good, because it is good, by good meaning having utility, as determined by natural processes.

I don't like your previous comment because it can mislead people into doing something irresponsible even when it doesn't feel good because they think they should only be responsible for themselves and not others.

No, I'm cool with sharing my money, and having a concept of our money. I'm just not cool with being incapable of making my own money. Put it any way you want, but it makes you dependent.

I think it's not an accident that every person I know that is not making their own money is frustrated because of it. Again it might be just my cultural conditioning, or my personality, not sure.
> "Hezbollah, a terrorist organization"

Hezbollah is more than just a terrorist organisation...

http://www.irinnews.org/report/26242/lebanon-the-many-hands-...

"Hezbollah not only has armed and political wings – it also boasts an extensive social development programme. The group currently operates at least four hospitals, 12 clinics, 12 schools and two agricultural centres that provide farmers with technical assistance and training. It also has an environmental department and an extensive social assistance programme. Medical care is also cheaper than in most of the country’s private hospitals and free for Hezbollah members.

Most of these institutions are located in the country’s more marginalised areas, such as Beirut’s southern suburbs, in South Lebanon and in the Bekaa Valley. “We have special sections all over the country that provide financial and food assistance to the poor,” said Hezbollah spokesman Hussein Nabulsi. “We also run an emergency fund for instant care in case of immediate hospitalisation.”"

Perhaps another way of interpreting that statement is that you are responsible for not imposing yourself on other people. Assuming "other people" to mean any member of the human race, your interpretation would seem to mean "you are responsible for everyone you have any relationship with or to", which I don't think is what the parent commenter meant.

Some are suggesting that responsibility for others is implied within a family relationship (spouses, children, elderly parents), but I disagree with this interpretation as it would exclude anyone without those relational ties from being recognized socially as an adult. I'm sure there are orphaned, spouse-less, childless people out there whom we would socially consider adults.
I probably shouldn't get in on this heated discussion ... but C++ aims to be a safer (higher level) C, at no runtime cost. I think it mostly succeeds at this.

I think C++ can only get so far, without deprecating some of C. Or at least C style code, should come with a big warning from the compiler:

"You are using an unsafe language feature. Are you absolutely sure there is no bug here, and there are no way to use safe language features instead?"

In libraries there might be cases where C-style code like manual pointer arithmetic, c arrays, manual memory management, c-style casts, or *void pointers, uninitialized variables, etc are necessary. But in user code most often there are safer replacements.
they might -- after all they are buying electricity from other suppliers, so why not from me?

The question is more like, why should I be in a privileged position related to these other suppliers, and why should I be able to freely exchange something cheap (off-peak, unpredictable power) for something expensive (peak, on-demand power)? This is of course assuming that my usage of the grid is fully accounted for in fees, otherwise there is a separate issue there.

Ultimately, since public utilities are not exactly an investor goldmine, this comes down to the question of how much other electricity consumers should spend to subsidize those with solar installations.
I'm genuinely surprised by the popular opinion that people play lotto only to win a nearly impossible jackpot. I rarely play, but when I do it's during the big frenzies like this just for kicks but with decent chances making my money back with a bit extra. I spent $3 (powerball single + multiplier). I won $4 last night by getting just the multiplier right (1:39 odds).

The Mega Millions games has 1:14.71 odds of winning. I'll play both Powerball and MM once or twice a year and my loose accounting on my winnings lands me around +$4. Basically nothing over the years but I have enjoyed the frenzy.

I don't think I fall into "stupid tax" territory and I do understand the probability of a jackpot win. I just don't care about it and enjoy the little rush of the chance.

Assume you win the $800 million jackpot and lose 50% to taxes, you have $400 million left over.

Gambling losses are tax deductible as expenses against gambling winnings.

Going with your scenario, if you spend ~$146 million and win ~$800 million, you'll be taxed on the ~$654 million profit. Off the top of my head you're looking at ~$400 million in after tax winnings.

So the investors get their ~$146 million back and then take a share of the remaining ~$400 million.
How would that work? You need an additional bit.
As entropy is usually a probabilistic concept, a "more organized" future is very very unlikely, but not impossible.

The only way to avoid ID theft is to lock your credit with the big three credit reporting agencies. With the number of breaches occurring, you can bet your data is in the hands of at least one fraudster.

Credit monitoring is a good idea too, but that's more for damage control than prevention.

If being able to take movies with you on your commute or on the plane is important, it doesn't matter if Netflix's UI is better since it isn't even accessible.

If on the other hand, you are mainly interested in streaming at home or where you have Wi-Fi, you could debate the merits of Netflix UI vs. Amazon UI.

Amazon has found a way to make any advantages Netflix has irrelevant for some set of users and some scenarios. And it looks like it is hard for Netflix to follow. The question is whether it will drive enough trial and adoption for Amazon.

This is fantastic. I am more and more impressed with the wealth of knowledge being shared by YC, especially regarding clarifying common financial vocabulary (which is often used to make people believe that finance is difficult as the terminology used in discussing finance is designed to sound more complicated than it is).

Similar to how clear and concise the SAFE documents are, this is really nice to read.
Not that it excuses any condescension, but it's worth noting that all parents have had experience in both the "don't have kids" and "have kids" camps.

When parents talk (complain, whine) about how non-parents have it so easy, what they're really commenting on is the relative change in difficulty they experienced in their own lives when they switched camps, moreso than the difficulty of their life vs. yours.
I have to say that I do agree with many of the points in TFA... most of the gun guys I know would rather have something reliable over extra features. I have a friend who won't keep a gun that's misfired/jammed at the range. The acceptance of glocks over other options comes down to the additional safety features that tend to sometimes not work.

In the end the simpler device is the reliable device. Anything that increases public safety will come down to education, training and citizen responsiveness. In real life, bad things happen... it may be with a gun, or a bomb, or a car, or any number of things that are legal to own. Civil defense is a basic human right, I wish that people understood what that means better.

That said the concept of civics, and civic duty are no longer part of general education in this country. If something is going wrong, and you have the ability to intervene, you have the responsibility to intervene. Taking firearms away from the general population hinders that ability.

I can't even get the biometric entryways at work to register the first time more often than not... I'd rather not have that happen in a crisis.

This is not exactly the same at all. That battery provides a valuable service: it allows to exchange off-peak power for on-peak power. If the utility had technology to do that economically, the whole controversy would be much less of an issue.

I quoted the exact same verse in my response and was similarly concerned how it would be taken in this forum (having been the guy who generally rolled my eyes when people quoted the bible). Regardless of ones opinion of the bible, that verse is one that I started living by 20 years ago. Nothing is 100% reliable, and this bit of wisdom is no exception, but when applied properly the results have continually surprised me.

I wasn't a Christian when it was shared with me (I was somewhat hostile if I'm being honest with myself), but I credit the effectiveness of that one tiny bit of wisdom with my discovery that my view of Christians was unfairly colored by a vocal group of people who's real problem was unrelated to faith/religion, it just became an enabler for them to exert power and gain ego. You see it with every kind of group from Social Justice to Gluten Avoidance. There's always some collection of douche-bags that "become the label" with which everyone else is judged.
I've done a little bit of experimentation with this, comparing real B&W film to various software's conversions to B&W. Most interesting was a case where I took a picture of the NYC subway diagram with a red filter. I could never make the RGB data from the digital camera look like my original negative, even when shooting through the same red filter. (Which should not be necessary, if you want to block blue and green, you should be able to do that in software. Lightroom, at least, did not let me make a matching image.)

More subjectively, I think most digital pictures converted to B&W look kind of dull, whereas actual film looks very exciting to me. I haven't done any detailed research into this, but I'm not 100% convinced that collecting luminance through red, green, and blue filters can capture all the data that panchromatic B&W film captures.

(Even more of a tangent, one of the joys of B&W photography is that you can outright lie about colors and the photo still works. Try a red filter and watch the blue sky become black!)
...but 1080p video over LTE is a shitty use of network resources...

99.9% of people should not be doing that.
> The issue is whether federal land should be used for conservation versus grazing.

Correct, that's the issue and the proposed solution is abolishing federal land control, transferring rights to state control, and therefore preventing federal intervention in grazing.

>> 'But the stockmen’s ambition went further: they wanted the federal government to transfer control of all federal land, including the national parks, to the states.'

The state legislators would still be free to enforce their own laws in that respect - technically they could themselves limit externalities or even enhance conservation. The parties involved (ie, ranchers) believe that they would be better served at the state level, a belief which was also held by many of those who were behind the constitution - whom they spare no time trumpeting.

Well, the C compiler sometimes rejects correct programs too.
> The source for the Turing Halting problem is Gödel's incompleteness theorems, which do specify that the entities to which it applies are non-trivial. The Turing Halting problem, and Gödel's incompleteness theorems, are deeply connected.

Gödel doesn't say anything about "non-trivial" any more than Turing does. His first theorem is a "there exists at least one statement" thing, just like the halting problem. Like the halting problem, the proof is a proof by construction, but that statement is not a statement that anyone would a priori are to prove, just like the program "If I halt, run forever" is not a program that anyone would particularly want to run. So while yes, they're deeply connected, from the point of view of proving actual systems correct, it's not clear they matter. And neither theorem says anything about "non-trivial" statements/programs (just about non-trivial formalizations and languages).

Gödel's second theorem is super relevant, though: it says that any consistent system cannot prove its own consistency. But that's fine. Coq itself is implemented in a Turing-complete language (ML), not in Coq. It would be nice if we could verify Coq in Coq itself, but since Gödel said we can't, we move on with life, and we just verify other things besides proof assistants. (And it seems to be worthwhile to prove things correct in a proof assistant, even without a computer-checked proof of that proof assistant's own correctness.)

This is not waving away the problem, it's acknowledging it and working within the limits of the problem to do as much as possible. And while that's not everything, it turns out a lot of stuff of practical importance -- perhaps everything of practical importance besides proving the system complete in its own language -- is possible.

So is T-Mobile an ISP, or are they are a cellular carrier? Are they considered the same thing now?
Edit: Ok, this makes more sense to me now. It's really more nuanced. On my rate plan, retail cost for electricity is ~20c. (link below). So as my bill, over the year, accrues a negative balance, that balance reflects a retail rate. For example, on my final true up statement, by balance was -$360. But, my end of year true-up compensation was $72. How is this? First, they deduct their minimum monthly charges of $72 which I have no issue with. If my negative balance doesn't cover that, i owe them cash. But if it does, they then ignore that credit balance, and they use the number of surplus kw/h, multiplied by a wholesale rate of $0.03403, and use that to arrive at what they owe me.

So there's the whole story. They do not refund your credit balance at the end of the year.
