I've been hearing this argument for 15 years now and it hasn't changed. Sure, there's a public address shortage these days, but the incessant whining by end-to-end purists who think NAT is an unbearable sin falls on deaf ears just as much now as it ever did.

I'm not against V6 by any means, but internal IPv4 private subnets are simply not a problem for the 99+% of who still somehow manage to get things done in the real world.
I have no problem criminalizing the kind of reckless driving that the GP comment mentions in its last sentence.

Where I live, it is generally true that many drivers are occasionally reckless, endangering lives in obvious ways, and this recklessness is winked at by our present driving culture. It's an error.
Amazon is like Google, they provide such an excellent service that customers use them.

Uber is being used despite the fact that it is technically illegal because it is so popular with the users.

users matter, even if Amazon dumped billion dollar's in Modi's account, all he can do is urge people to use amazon, he can't or rather no govt official can make flipkart go away.

Also if you read Amazon's book, the story of Amazon, they never ever raised prices, they always have reduced prices all the time. And we Indians have a nice behaviour, we always buy from where we have the lowest price possible!
Yes on the two questions, but for as to exactly why the idea failed, I don't know. I'm an outsider to Yahoo, maybe someone who was there at the time has more perspective. [1]

I just remember thinking at the time they hired him (and still think): "I use Yahoo for products like Groups, Mail, Messenger, and so on, why are they hiring the guy who greenlit Batman?"

Emergency services workers used to do training called "EVAP" - Emergency Vehicle Accident Prevention. In some ways it served as an exemption from requiring a CDL for driving, say, a fire engine.

This training was changed a while ago, and is now called "EVIP" - Emergency Vehicle _Incident_ Prevention.
I strongly suspect the next frontier of driving safety is sleep.

We already have inclinations that insufficient sleep produces a mental state analogous to intoxication. However, we don't seem to recognize that someone going home after a 24-hour hospital shift, or an on-call worker who caught a production issue last night, or a new parent, or just one or the majority of adults who don't have healthy sleep patterns, is making a dangerously irresponsible gamble with other people's lives in exactly the same way as someone who downed a couple of beers.
Couldn't agree with it more. "Walking on water and developing software from a specification are easy if both are frozen".

Startups are the opposite of having clear requirements. There is a lot of uncertainty. In my opinion, it is usually orders of magnitude harder to figure out what to dot hat gets suers than building something "perfect" that nobody cares about
And I'm still not clear on how taxing the shit out of everyday working citizens somehow redistributes the wealth which is already hoarded by the 0.1%.

Error codes and longjmp are complementary methods of exception handling. Error codes can't handle every circumstance (well, at least not without undue pain). For example, error codes don't deal with nonblocking i/o or coroutines very well.

std::optional is now confirmed for C++17, which can make the API a bit nicer. Using factory functions as pseudo-constructors also lets you name them, which is often nicer than having to rely on argument types to disambiguate constructors with different purposes.

"Check the history ?. Declarative UIs has been around for, what 30-40 years, and they don't seem to be actually gaining any share."

Really? Because HTML seems to be by far the most popular environment these days. many are even trying to push it to the desktop.

"Then you start using it to build something larger and then you swear a lot, and eventually realize that the whole premise is flawed, and then you decide never to use declarative UIs again, ever. lol."

What other abstractions are you using? If it was manipulating things based in jQuery selectors then I'd agree. But I find a combination with an MVVM framework (like knockout) it scales incredibly well.
Can confirm.
I have not bought anything from Flipkart since more than one year. The company was doomed from the start, I had the chance to see it form their interview process. It is so broken that I felt it outrageous that it was the _hottest_ startup in India.

Amazon is awesome, because it provides low prices + quality service. It isn't just "discount retailing"

Flipkart built its reputation on motorola phones because Moto was exclusive on Flipkart, beyond that they never really picked up, the thing is Flipkart's quality reduced time over time and their approach itself was wrong, they started on "discounts" when they should have started on maintaining their customer service.

But typical Indian business, once they "grow" they don't care about customers anymore, the only puzzling thing is that how does Flipkart act like it from now itself, by no definition are they grown or successful or both.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but I think it's important to note that if you make the reductio ad absurdum argument that a tax rate of 100% has strongly negative effects, sure I'll go with that, but if there's a claim that what we have right now is either too much or too little, then there needs to be some sort of evidence to support that claim.
What's the basis for the assumption that correlation equals causation?

Heck, where's the evidence for your purported correlation in the first place?
Well we could start with some common sense tax reform, like not letting anything above $112k not be taxable for social security, a system through which old people are living off the backs of the young and straddling them with debts for services they will never see themselves - a ponzi scheme

Yes, SQL is declarative.

But you still "SELECT" something to look at. A SELECT statement is, by itself, sufficient to get something to happen (for results to be fetched).

On the other hand, a D3 enter() does absolutely nothing by itself. You must do further calls for it to have any impact.

This is very off topic and ridiculous.
I've seen exception classes split into recoverable and non-recoverable. The former clean up as they propagate and move the application to an initial known state in a state machine.

This works fine. I think the worst bug was an exception thrown from the initial state which lead to an infinite loop.

THere's a reason you require a license to drive. It has something to do with accountability. I have zero problems with making car drivers more accountable and responsible for the 38,000 deaths a year caused by driving an automobile. Considering how ridiculously lenient penalties are when drivers kill people while driving drunk or being inattentive to their surroundings, this is long overdue.
I think the blame game is part of it.

OTOH, I think we play the blame game is because people refuse to take responsibility.

And one other contributing bit is the entitlement(/victimized) game.

Honestly though, both the blame and the entitlement games are poisonous because they provde an easy vehicle for anger and offloading responsibility.

FWIW I support the shift in semantics (from accident to crash), because of two things : 1) driving brings a calculated risk, and 2) safety when driving suffers from the tradegy of the commons (I think that's the term) - it's easy to relatively ok (safe for yourself) to drive like a maniac when everyone else is driving ok.

I think using the term accidents hides those dynamics more.

Edit: I'd like to note that I think that this a useful mental model to have, not necessarily the correct model. And there's definitely more nuance than I expressed. Also, I'm not sold on the criminalization part - I do think that a terminology shift might help.

When boomers wanted cars, we subsidized cars. When they wanted education, we subsidized education. When they wanted gas, we subsidized gas. When they wanted suburbs, we subsidized suburbs. When they wanted to take a loan out of their retirement, we paid for it out of ours. When they wanted to eat themselves into oblivion, we paid for their health care. Now that they are sated, millenials want the same...but the boomers have indebted us and destroyed our government, and they refuse to make any of the sacrifices that they decided we would make without asking for our permission.

There is a coming political doomsday in the US, and it will have nothing to do with left vs right, but rather the haves vs the have nots...and it just so happens that boomers are the haves and millenials are the have nots. It won't end pretty.

Not to champion austerity (and no, I'm really not championing austerity), but if increased spending is paid for with increased borrowing, government bonds will complete in capital markets and make borrowing generally more expensive for everyone.

Of course right now capital is ridiculously cheap and the economy still isn't doing very well...

So what is this sacrifice of privacy the author mentions? I mean is this a legitimate statement? While I can sympathize with the author's mindset this seems like a loaded statement based on nothing. If I'm wrong and Mint is leaking my info like a sieve please tell me now.

Ok, so I put all my transactions (or group them) into the app.

If you look at some back-of-envelope stats over a lifetime of driving, your probability of getting killed out there is probably bigger than you expect: Let's say 50 years, 80M active drivers in US/ year, 40k fatalities/ year, the probability of going every year without dying on the road --> (1-(40k/80M))^50 --> puts your chance of death close to 3%. Lots of assumptions clearly glossed over, but would you sign up for something where there's, quite possibly, a 3% chance you get killed? Or a 12% chance of a life-altering injury (assuming 5x frequency of fatality)? It would be better if our civilization, one era, designed itself to do away with driving altogether.

I'm sorry if I've angered you by showing you that the scientific method doesn't produce perfect science, just like the methods of science that psychology use doesn't produce perfect science either. I'm not rumbling, just giving words of advice that hopefully you'll heed if you actually want to be a scientist and not just a naive lab rat.

It may not make sense but that's the tax law. You will owe tax on unrealized gain in this scenario -- as others have said it's due to AMT. Check with your accountant.

This is why 83(b) elections are so important. If your employer allows you to early exercise stock you can purchase your options immediately, prior to vesting, and pay tax at that time. Because your option purchase price will be equal to the market value (409A) the net tax will be $0. The 83(b) election is how you declare you've paid the tax at exercise.
Definitely. I know it was played for comedic value, but when I heard that the first time I thought, "Oh, right, that's how it should be."

Mint is a third party to whom you give not just the list of every transaction you make, but also the passwords for all of your accounts. That seems like a legitimate loss of privacy to me.
I think having no cap on income for SS would make sense and make the system solvent - so basically, cut a tax only for the wealthy retired folks living off of backs of young folks, who are not exempt and they will never get there by subsidizing old folks in exchange for interest payments on private loans in the 7% range.
Whenever you have a communication or resource bottleneck, you have the potential for corruption - either malicious or unintentional. Bigger institutions just have bigger bottlenecks.

I don't think it was Reflex...I think I was still on CPM. It seems like an early precursor to that program though. Honestly, my memory is pretty fuzzy - it wasn't much of a database program, it mostly just reorganized the tables in some simple ways (I remember wondering if the program's authors really understood relational. They seemed to be mostly just creating tables and doing a few operations. Jumping on the relational buzzword.) It was impressive to see it build boxes though - in those days, that was an accomplishment.
The real lesson here is that environment variables can't be blindly trusted and that they can be controlled by an attacker unless proven otherwise. They should be treated as untrusted input that needs to be validated.

If you start a new process, always be explicit about the environment variables you want to pass on. Don't just let the subprocess inherit your environment variables.

If you write a library, do not rely on environment variables unless the user of the library has explicitly opted-in to that.
I'm intrigued by the gap between manslaughter where a car is not involved and manslaughter where it is.

The penalties involved for driving recklessly and killing someone with a car seem very light to me, even as many other kinds of criminal sentences seem disproportionately harsh.

My company has a Chrome/Firefox extension with ~60k users. We have been approached repeatedly by companies that want us to add in their tracking snippet to our extension. What they offered—tens of thousands of dollars every year—was tempting, but we didn't take the bait.

They were opaque with us about what the code did (they didn't share the actual code without NDA, and we never got that far). But I did get to see the snippet they wanted us to add to our privacy policy, which was devilishly opaque. It arguably disclosed everything that would be done, but it did so in a way that sounded very benign.

I googled some phrases from the privacy policy insert and found that they had in fact gotten several extensions to include the code. Scary.
Omg thank you for affirming my choices!

I don't see how she was qualified at all.

She had one job. And that was in the company she was with from the beginning.

So she had zero experience working anyplace that is not Google, and zero experience as a CEO.

So she is not qualified and it shows.

Example 2: Robert Nardelli. He was such a great leader at GE. Then went to Home Depot as a superstar and managed to fuck everything up.
He also never had a job outside GE, the place where he became superstar.

Anyways why anyone thinks that hiring a CEO that had a total of one jobs, is a good idea, I just can't figure out.
Many jurisdictions have criminal penalties depending on severity of recklessness. For example, in California in collisions that resulted in death of someone other than the driver responsible can result in charges all the way to vehicular homoside/murder for repeat DUI offenders. Lesser charges are available to fit less degrees of wrecklessness. Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicular_homicide

While driving in LA, I see a lot of people doing stupid things in cars, but I don't personally think turning to public shaming is the answer (mostly because I don't think it'll work - person is already reckless and doesn't think what he/she is doing is wrong). Human element is deeply flawed, so augmenting this element with safety tech is a better answer. With the current sensor tech, there really is no reason a car should be able to rearend another car! Volvo, Audi and Infinit already sell models that have been tested at low to moderate speeds to be able either prevent a crash or reduce it to a small tap: http://www.iihs.org/iihs/ratings/ratings-info/front-crash-pr...

Such tech ought to be required by law to be standard. No excuse that it's still isn't.
One thing you can do is reconcile your transactions with the bank's. They are not infallible.
