I can't respond to all of the needs and expenses you enumerate, but I'm of the opinion that you need to have a single-payer healthcare system or something similar that decouples medical emergencies from their costs, so that a basic income isn't needed to pay for those emergencies.
Nice. This should be part of the actual post. :)

The indirect costs of switching to HTTPS (like lost advertisement revenue) make it a inviable solution

This doesn't entirely make sense. I'm sure it's possible to serve adverts on a HTTPS page, and let's encrypt is hardly expensive
I've always wondered about the extent of the info which DOESN'T make it into these kind of data dump features. Once you start thinking about it, it's incredibly obvious that the data made available to the user for export is only a tiny fraction of what actually exists internally.

There are various justifications along a whole spectrum of legitimacy for not disclosing everything. Does disclosing the way your data is analyzed reveal trade secrets? What to do about data involving two or more parties (how many times x has viewed y's facebook profile, etc)?

I get that there are reasons why they can't show us the content of that data, but the fact that we will never know the true extent of what is even being collected or how it will be used...that still makes me uneasy.
> Grammatically the passive voice uses the equative verb to be with a past participle of the verb. Both those phrases satisfy that condition.

Grammatically, the passive voice also places the active participant as an explicit indirect object rather than the subject. A sentence without an explicit indirect object is not in the passive voice.

It may still have some of the same problems of communication which motivate people to work to avoid the use of the passive voice, and may even go further than the actual passive voice in those problems in that rather than deemphasizing the actual actor -- as happens when that moves from subject to object -- it omits the active party entirely. But its still not in the passive voice, despite the similarity in issues that arise.

That's probably not right. Under mild assumptions, each successive update to expectations will be proportionally smaller in magnitude, and the price will converge geometrically to a somewhat lower (but non-zero) number.

It's the same reason why the government spending multiplier isn't infinite, even though government spending spurs private sector spending, and private sector spending increases the tax base.

Props vs. state in ReactJS
From what my doctor friends have told me, it is all about information hand-off, or lack thereof. When you have been on duty for 8 hours you have all the details of all the situations that are happening currently, but it is very difficult to hand off all that information to the next person, so it is just 'easier' to keep working and to be there when that info is needed.

It seems like that could be remedied with overlapping shifts, but that costs more money. I wonder how medical malpractice factors in.
As someone in a sibling comment posted, there is a statutory right in Delaware (where Dell was incorporated) allowing shareholders who don't vote for a buy out to demand judicial appraisal for the 'true' value of their shares.
Same thing that happens now. Do you think that a person on government assistance now can get more money just by asking for it?
As Dell's vision was realized, the market price would have reflected the increase in value.

This means the more disturbing part is that the judge has had 3 years of hindsight where parts of Dell's plan have been realized, making it appear as though they were inevitable when at the time it was still highly uncertain (as reflected in the stock price). If Dell, Inc was now in the shitter he wouldn't be awarding $3.87 / share, that's for sure.

The baffling part to me is that he found Dell (the person) and the board conducted themselves ethically during the buyout, yet still found in favor of the plaintiffs. The rule of thumb with management-led buyouts is that the shareholders are getting screwed. If he wasn't hiding information, and wasn't strong-arming the board into approving his offer / not soliciting other offers, then the accepted offer should stand.
I knew that these exist, but have never seen pictures of them until now - so thanks!

To be honest, the site could use some work. Low-hanging fruit mainly, I'm not even asking for anything browsers didn't do in the 90s.

You're doing a lot of work yourself: loading pages (why not let the browser do that, catch errors, display progress, etc.? Now it shows a spinner and if I hadn't backgrounded the tab already I'd have given up on loading because "clearly the spinner isn't doing anything"); opening links (I can't ctrl+click because, hey, you're handling the opening of links yourself; why not let the browser do that?); changing the title happens only after the new page loaded, which takes 20 seconds, during which time a white page is displayed with the old browser and the new URL already (the browser would change it to "loading new page" for you); and there are some cross-origin resources (alright, the browser doesn't do this, but it's almost difficult to mess that up with the widespread TLS support these days). I probably caught most of my personal things, but the general idea is to be more lazy ;)

It isn't an inherent risk, because the law allows for you to demand a judicial appraisal for the 'true' value of their shares.

You can say the same to the people buying a public company; there is an inherent risk that you will be forced to pay some shareholders more, so it should be factored in to the price you are willing to pay for the company.

No. In C++, for instance, you can share data either by a const reference (or pointer), or by a non-const reference (or pointer). The latter allows mutation; the former does not.

Now, that means that the language is not forcing you to share without mutability, because you can leave off "const". That is, you have to be disciplined. But if you put "const" on the reference, the compiler won't permit you to modify the data through that reference.

It could also be the case that "mistakes were made" is poor, but without it having anything to do with it being in passive voice. Passive voice also doesn't necessarily "diminish the actor", consider "She was diagnosed by the doctors at X, and the diagnosis was later overturned by a senior doctor.". That's a kind of a blanket claim about passive that's just bound to be wrong when you check it on actual English sentences (I think Pullum's paper I linked to in another comment addresses this well).
Yes, that's absolutely been my experience -- and even then, when it comes to the data path, you will likely find new failure modes in "tried and true" as you push it harder and longer and with the bar being set at absolute perfection. I have learned this painful lesson twice: first, with Fishworks at Sun when we turned ZFS into a storage appliance -- and we learned the painful difference between something that seems to work all of the time and something that actually works all of the time. (2009 was a really tough year.[1]) And ZFS was fundamentally sound (and certainly had been running for years in production) before we pushed it into the broad enterprise storage substrate: the bugs that we found weren't ones of durability, but rather of deeply pathological performance. (As I was fond of saying at the time, we never lost anyone's data -- but we has some data take some very, very long vacations.) I shudder to think about building a data path on much less proven components than ZFS circa 2008, let alone building a data path seemingly in total ignorance of the mechanics -- let alone challenges -- of writing to persistent storage.

The second time I learned the painful lessons of storage was with Manta.[2] Here again, we built on ZFS and reliable, proven "tried and true" technologies like PostgreSQL and Zookeeper. And here again, we learned about really nasty, surprising failure modes at the margins.[3] These failure modes haven't led to data loss -- but when someone's data is unavailable, that is of little solace. In this regard, the data path -- the world of persistent state -- is a different world in terms of expectations for quality. That most of our domain thinks in terms of stateless apps is probably a good thing: state is a very hard thing to get right, and, in your words, tried and true absolutely beats novel and new. All of this is what makes Torus's ignorance of what comes before it so exasperating; one gets the sense that if they understood how thorny this problem actually is, they would be trying much harder to use the proven open source components out there rather than attempt to sloppily (if cheerfully) reinvent them.

I'm not sure Apple wants to touch PC (Mac) gaming right now. It really looks like they're going all-in on mobile gaming instead. They've stopped calling the Apple TV a "hobby", because it's now "how you play iOS games on a TV"—which is an important thing, given the size of the iOS gaming ecosystem. It makes sense to want to encourage gaming on iOS (which is really an OS for personal computers, in the sense that everyone has their own—meaning that four players use four iOS devices to play), and tvOS has fancy frameworks to couple tvOS apps to iOS apps, encouraging that thinking even more. The "Mac Mini as extensible console" ecosystem—even if pushed really hard—would just encourage people to buy controllers: not nearly as much of a money-faucet, especially given that you aren't walking around with your controller all day noticing that you could buy other apps for it. (Plus, the ATV is cheap enough to upgrade in its entirety every few years. Macs aren't—so while you'd get that GPU box upgraded, the CPU would fall behind.)

Apple is willing to bet, I think, that this "mobile devices + TV receiver" is the direction gaming is going generally, too—not right this second, but soon. Other console-makers seem to be on a similar footing. Nintendo looks to be warming up to making mobile titles for iOS, and at the same time, their NX might look a lot like the ATV+iPhone setup (their original intent with the Wii U was that each player have a gamepad with a screen in it—but they just missed the wave of commodity-SoCs that would have enabled that. This time they can!) And the gen after that might very well just drop the idea of a console—their consoles are not selling well, compared to their handhelds—and just create an ATV-like "partner box" for the 3DS++.

(Don't know what Microsoft and Sony will do. Their lunch is getting eaten as third-parties move to Steam. Maybe VR? Either way, their next consoles won't look like "consoles" in the sense they've been up to now, either.)
It worked fine for me in firefox (I had firefox 43.0.4 and java 1.8.0_60 on my machine). Just say "remind me later" to all the offers to update Java.

> Grammatically, the passive voice also places the active participant as an explicit indirect object rather than the subject. A sentence without an explicit indirect object is not in the passive voice.

This is not true. Something as simple as "I was sat on" illustrates this well—in English, the subject is still required but the actor is not. This is much MORE so for eg Latin, where verbs take voices with much less context.

"I was exhausted" is ambiguous, using either the imperfect passive voice or the imperfect "to be" with a past participle. However, it's perfectly valid to note as passive as it is, in fact, passive under one of the two interpretations.

I knew C quite well. Haven't written any for years. The statements "zero all bytes of a struct" and "reads of the padding" contain enough ambiguity that it answers the question. Not to mention the ambiguity in the words "read" and "write" as they pertain to C, since they already have a "std" meaning that's not the same as lvalue or rvalue, so what exactly do they mean here?

And if you think you can answer the question without resolving the ambiguities, that answers some other questions.
