The question that of course needs to be asked alongside this: how many other options are there for you to commute? In my case, zero. I live 0.5 miles from the nearest bus stop, so I _could_ take the bus... but it only picks up every hour I believe, and would take me almost two hours to get to my office. It's too far for me to bike (25 miles each way). Our city doesn't have the capacity or capability for light rail. Carpooling would be awesome, but I don't know of anyone else that lives in my area and also works anywhere near my area.
Maybe put something on the site saying "Don't send anymore this contract is literally a black hole"
Like mmozeiko said, it will only get called once. If it got called again, it would deploy a completely new instance of the contract.
And the tips can't be withdrawn either. All the money stays in the contract?

function withdrawTips() public {
// The owner can only withdraw the tips
tips = 0;
owner.transfer(tips);
}
A lot of Roman concrete has lasted to this day. The aqueducts are still impressive, the colosseum is only 2/3 standing because of an earthquake hundreds of years ago (and is otherwise a fine museum), and the pantheon is as shockingly gorgeous today as when it was built 2000 years ago.
The object is still passed by value, however the object itself contains references, which may be mutated. If objects were pass by reference then you’d end up with {a: 2} at the end:

let a = {a: 1}

function foo(a) {
a = {a: 2}
}

foo(a)
a //=> {a: 1}

Don’t confuse passing a mutable entity by value with pass by reference.
When Our Faces Are Our “Papers”
That's irrelevant. Look, same example but with an object.

let a = { bar: 'baz' };

function foo( a ) {
a = { beep: 'boop' };
}

foo( a );

console.log( a ); // { bar: 'baz' }
It happens, but it depends on HR person. If such way of behavior is a policy or just a part of character of person in charge.
People are still sending money to it.

I dunno. I get where your coming from but this seems completely different. If you take two activities at random, one social and one not, I would not expect the people organizing either of those activities being super incentivized to get you addicted to them and to do more and more of it as often as possible. That's more of a drug dealer thing.

I mean they might really want you to, but they don't put apps on your phone and reset your privacy settings to let them reach out to you and spam you with notifications through multiple channels (email/text/sms) multiple times per day trying to get you to engage that are endlessly optimized by very smart people to trigger that engagement, not a lot, but just a hit to get you coming back for more.

And then grow into one of the largest companies in America lead by one of richest men in America by leveraging the addicting and repetitive nature of that activity to literally and intentionally monetize _their_ influence how _you_ think (advertising).

Yes, it is accepted. What is so wrong about advertising? Why is it bad that someone making a product wants to market it? There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. The problem is how the ad-tech industry deals with advertising. There is no regard for privacy and no control for the consumers. It's become a shady practice because of lack of privacy, transparency and lack of regard for the end user.

Mozilla is clearly saying these things are important to them and will be central to their mission so what's the problem here? It's not like they'll inject ads from Google or Facebook.

Instead of dissing at their attempts to make themselves self-sustainable, we should be supporting them by giving them a chance. May be they'll do ads right, may be they'll fail but one thing I'm sure of is that if they fail to make it work without compromising the user, they'll just give it up.

Mozilla is our biggest if not the only hope of an open and healthy web. I don't mind supporting them by seeing a couple of ads every now and then as long as I'm in control and they respect my privacy.

Agreed. However, in this case they still own the domain, so GOTO is the way to go.

What happens if I say I used to be https://google.com, and then through some disaster the Google homepage is inaccessible for 3 seconds? That's a lot of users that just filtered down to my potentially malicious site, no matter how low the conversion rate.

But as an application delivery platform that still looks and pretends to be a network of documents, suddenly that carries a lot more risk.

If there are indeed "strong reasons" then the rest is a tautology.

If there are not, then making such a conclusion is bias.
The code has now been changed (by switching to a new contract):

function withdrawTips() public {
// The owner can only withdraw the tips
uint pendingTips = tips;
tips = 0;
owner.transfer(pendingTips);

That’s what I do. Even if you’ll likely never use the stateless component directly in an app, it makes automated testing and things like Storybook much simpler.

For the downvoters, the #1 cause for food bourne illness is people not washing their hands before they eat.

Usually if a restaurant is to blamed, there are multiple cases of illness outbreaks.
that answer doesn't concern with the pass-by semantic, only with the primitive/object semantics.

this is the gist of the issue, fetched from http://javadude.com/articles/passbyvalue.htm about java but exemplifies perfectly the pass by reference semantics:

"If you can write such a method/function in your language such that calling

Type var1 = ...;
Type var2 = ...;
swap(var1,var2);
actually switches the values of the variables var1 and var2, the language supports pass-by-reference semantics."

as java javascript is reference-by-value
I get the impression they bought the company expecting Neistat would allow them to tap into his vlogging audience to spread their political agenda so he would become something like a new-wave news anchor. I expect it went something like this...

Them: "Hey Casey, you should vlog the womans march"
Him: "Nah, I'm going to go surfing with my buddies".

I bet this lead to a lot of frustration from both sides when Neistat didn't want to play along.

I agree, but only so far. There is also the enormous amount of corruption that keeps these political machines opaque and inaccessable to the public, by design.

My point isn't that we are blameless, but that this has been forced upon us in varying degrees. Our options each election year are purposefully limited, and no matter the campaign promise, we get the same results each time--and those are the officials we have a modicum of control over through elections.

We're responsible for fixing it, but distrust in the system is an integral part of fixing it.

One of the Northern European social democracies is a strong bet. High-trust societies with free education, good social safety net in cast I end up in a broken family, and stable democracies with proven track record of improving the society vs. improving conditions just for the main voting populace.

I think that high-trust part is one of the most important ones if often overlooked. I think it means in practice that you don't have to worry of being ruined even if your clique doesn't win, and you don't have to second-guess everyone's true motives.

Open Letter to the Airbnb Community About Building a 21st Century Company
I have been tempted to do a website along the lines of "guess the concert". Seriously, when people post this crap on facebook it all looks the same, a stage, some lights figures too small to make out who they are and some crap quality sound. Posting this shit is utterly pointless.
Buying small websites is a hard business, because you have to maintain them. If one engineer can maintain 10 sites, it costs $2k/mo to maintain each, so the gross profit has to be well above that to make a business out of it. Maintaining 10 sites, each written independently with their own tooling choices, requires an engineer with a very large cranium.
>Duo

A success by pretty much any metric (no seriously). Yes, its essentially facetime, but I don't really think that matters. It still was the right decision. (and don't get me wrong I have some issues with Google's messaging strategy, but Duo isn't reasonably one of them).

>Inbox

I must have missed that?

Also, you kinda glossed over the whole infrastructure thing. Is infrastructural innovation not innovation?

Sure, but a quick check says that Google's revenue from not-ads today is about the same as Google's total revenue when they released android.

>and most of the marketing videos showed capability that predated the cars actually being so capable

So is your argument that Google isn't the innovator in the space, or that they won't be successful? Because I think both of those are totally wrong, but I want to clarify.

And in both cases, who do you think the innovators were, and who do you think will instead be successful?

>They're staged.

I, don't have words, this is just denial of reality. Tesla staged and inflated its autonomy. Waymo (and, to be clear, other companies, like Cruise) haven't. I see their vehicles driving around every day.

The data on this is pretty compelling: https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/detail/vr/autonomous/disen... (waymo: 600K miles, Cruise ~10K, everyone else: <1K)

Waymo is also active in the most areas (Bay Area, Tahoe, Phoenix, Kirkland, now Atlanta apparently).

I'm curious what leads you to believe that Waymo is somehow not innovative and not successful. Who on earth is doing better?

Nowadays, everything is pass-by-value. The only question is whether a reference or a pointer is one of the things that can be passed by value, or if everything passed is always a copy.

An exception to pass-by-value would be Forth; in the case of stack-based languages there really isn't a "pass" going on at all. But everything copies something for every non-inlined function call nowadays. Another instance where it's less obvious what is going on is a truly immutable language like Erlang or Haskell, where the "value" is quite likely still being passed via a pointer, but that's only relevant from the point of view of considering garbage collection behavior.

This makes the old "pass-by-value vs pass-by-reference" terminology vestigial to the modern software engineer, which is why the only place you'll encounter it is in school courses. A better way of understanding the modern issues is to ask what powers a passed-in value has and just ignore the old question.
I use this in LA, its great because there is no bus that travels along my commute. I hope this will see an influx of users, sometimes it's still hard to find a ride
I currently drive, but I live close enough where I could bike or even electric skateboard. I also live in the midwest, so weather in the Winter can prevent me from doing either.

When I worked in the city, I would drive to the light rail, take the light rail into the city, and then walk several blocks to our office. After a two years of doing this, I felt like I was wasting a lot of time in transit each day, which is why I changed jobs so I could be much closer to home.

The funny part is that five years ago, there were several articles talking about how all the millennials were moving into the city and forgoing the suburban lifestyle to be closer to the "action" of the downtown area. Fast forward to 2018. I've already seen several articles this year about how those same millennials are now moving out of the city and into the suburbs to forgo all the crime of the big city.
I would argue that feelings of well-being are not just irrelevant, they are actually directly contrary to the goals of our current advertising-driven social networks. Happy contented people aren't as influenced by advertising intended to capitalize on insecurities, which is really most of it.

A social network's ideal audience would be a group of people who are relatively discontent with their lives and provide a series of small improvements to that state of being, but ones that quickly fade, and then encourage them to repeat that cycle as often as possible. That way the susceptibility to advertising remains high and boosts advertiser ROI, which raises the social network's value as a platform.

Come to think of it, that sounds pretty familiar.
