#pragma once is not in any C++ standard, although basically all modern compilers support it. The reason it is not in the standard is that its behaviour in the presence of symlinks may differ depending on the filesystem and compiler. Is it the unique combination of filename + content that should be included once or is it the file path? etc.

The most recent review that controlled for electronics and computers within the overall US manufacturing numbers show very clearly that the rest of the manufacturing sector is shrinking or stagnant, while the margins associated with relatively stable electronics production are increasing and masking the gutting of the remainder of the sector.
In this scenario, who is making whom worse off to enrich themselves? I don't follow this argument.
Queens is a part of Long Island, in the north western corner of it. So is Brooklyn, which is in the south western corner. Long Island City is indeed a neighborhood within Queens though.
The linked article at the bottom is a really great way to discuss policy and technology with a broad set of readers.

https://apps.bostonglobe.com/ideas/graphics/2018/09/equity-m...

My only complaint is that requiring someone to type something halfway through an article isn't great UX. I still think the overall goal--educating people about policy tradeoffs and the role of technology--was phenomenal for a column mainly tackling local issues.

(I wonder what would have happened if they set the algorithms' preference as an end goal, but only shifted start times towards that by five or ten minutes per year, so no one's family schedule was radically affected in any given period, but they still would have realized the benefits eventually.)
You're getting a lot of incorrect information in your responses. Uber's "revenue" is already net of driver payments (except in the case of Uber Pool).

Their big costs are payroll, marketing, promotions (for both the driver and the passenger), and probably compute. In a lot of cases, including "mature markets" in the US, they end up being unprofitable per ride due to the number of promotions they run.

There are also some significant economic blocs which make money off of various shades of addiction. The most obvious are gambling and substances like alcohol or nicotine, but to a lesser extent there are other cases, like caffeine, scuzzy religious gurus, or gaming companies willing to take outrageous sums of money from "whales".

While the solutions may be complex -- or perhaps merely difficult -- it's exacerbated by those blocs who rely on the status-quo.
Because I want full encapsulation without giving up by-value semantics. I want my clients to be able to take objects of some opaque record type that I've defined, and put them entirely on the stack, or in some contiguous block of memory entirely of their making, without ever getting to know the constituent fields of the record. I want it all, I want to have my cake and eat it too.

When the parent (er, great grandparent?) says their parent is wrong to deny that headers only reveal the interface, I think it's a little disingenuous to base that on an unrevealed assumption that PImpl is in play. PImpl is basically the the idiom that begot Java. One reason I might opt for C++ over Java, is a desire for finer control over the location of memory -- but it's important for me to know that to actually get that, I'll probably have to sacrifice information hiding. It's a trade-off. Yes, on some level it's better to have the option to make that trade-off, but the product here is "encapsulation or value semantics", not "encapsulation and value semantics".

Mind, I'm not a C++ developer. Maybe these days link-time heroic optimization makes the "right" decisions and collapses these kinds of indirections in all the sorts of situations you'd want it to. I write a lot more Java, and my understanding is that HotSpot gets up to a lot of heroics pertaining to this stuff these days -- I've noticed HotSpot will churn through a workload involving processing a collection of records far more quickly if you can arrange for it to stream through an array, even if you'd expect the records to be scattered randomly throughout memory.
This business model would have a problem with Maryland's all-payer system—hospitals are only allowed one price list; they can't give any individual insurer their own schedule.

Of course, being a reasonable idea means it's illegal; Maryland is currently the only state the feds allow to do this, so even if Harrisburg were willing they'd need to go through Washington.
18 years ago? Are you thinking of Jayson Blair? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jayson_Blair#Plagiarism_and_fa... That broke 15 years ago, not 18. Also, it's a highly relevant example, from the same news outlet as TFA. That's exactly the sort of thing we need better citations for; it would have been way harder to fake all those interviews if he had to upload recordings of them. Harder still if we expected dash-cam footage of him driving around West Virginia. He described video footage that didn't exist -- even if we can justifiably question whether a video was faked or not, releasing the actual video would certainly make it harder to fake than a written description is. Of course absolute evidence is hard, if not impossible; Bertrand Russel spent over 300 pages trying to prove that 1+1=2, and ultimately concluded that he failed. We have to accept that our knowledge is probabilistic, but that doesn't mean we can't try to improve our probabilities of being right.

I don’t understand the issue here. Couple buys very expensive item that few others purchase; item is very expensive to insure; for hire firefighters are cheaper than replacing the item (and any dependencies) at a loss; insurers dispatch said firefighters to avoid total loss.

Doing this for everyone wouldn’t scale, which is why towns have firefighting units.

Also, people have a weird aversion to insurance for expensive items. So many people (at least on Reddit) advocate against purchasing AppleCare and additional insurance for $1000+ items but balk at the high cost of replacing a broken screen... that’s much cheaper to fix with insurance.
I guess I would say your first three paragraphs (of the comment in question) were fine, but your closing sentence is of questionable value and veers into territory that concerns me.

What's prefix reporting?
Have you been around 20 year old college kids much? They're drunk, and terrible, and generally pretty trolly at the best of times. I was, as was damn-near everyone else at a brother school of the Zuck's alma mater. I don't buy your assertion that you've never idly had a low-grade cruel thought like that and chuckled at it. Maybe that says more about me.
Technically, Queens is part of Long Island.
I don't even see how the two can be compared...

Who broke the law on youtube? Who even lied about something?

Oh yea, someone yelled nigger in a video game. Totally worth those investigational journalists getting to the bottom of wether or not pewdiepie is racist.
I would be interested in a map that details distance to a major hospital vs price and also whether 95% of customers would be better served by air ambulance to the major hospital vs the local one.

One example is the hospital in El Granada just outside of Half Moon Bay. This hospital serves the local community yet it is only 30-45 mins over the hill to get to Stanford or Burlingame by car and less by helicopter. Considering that, the hospital is under utilized. Even further south in Pescardero you would go up to Stanford via La Honda typically. That is at the limit of the golden hour though. So here you have an example of a hospital that doesn't really need to exist except for widow maker events where you need to be seen as fast as possible (within the golden hour). So one question is, can you have smaller hospitals with lower revenues to serve this market. Even in rural hospitals if you need specialist care you will be transported out or otherwise wait several hours.
I think people are, if anything, underestimating how good this is for the tech scene in NYC and for New York in general, at least from a fiscal perspective.

LIC is increasingly well-developed but mostly as a residential area. It's not Manhattan and doesn't really have top-tier employers. The tech scene in NYC is almost entirely concentrated in Manhattan, with the exception of maybe a tiny tech scene in parts of Brooklyn, which Queens (which Long Island City is part of) is not generally hip enough to have. This adds a top-tier employer with lots of high-paying jobs in a new location without displacing any of the existing tenants occupying prime office space in Manhattan. It also doesn't worsen the rent situation substantially where it's the worst. Rent is high everywhere but Queens has more supply, way more potential supply and is overall better positioned to deal with the additional demand than Manhattan or Brooklyn. Also, this isn't obvious to people who aren't familiar with NY but while LIC is easy to get to from most parts of NYC, it's just far enough that you probably wouldn't want to live in New Jersey, while that isn't as true of many parts of Manhattan. This definitely makes the location more attractive from the perspective of New York State, who doesn't capture the state tax from those that commute from New Jersey.

Also, you can't usually hire that many people by poaching people from other companies and they need a balance of junior and senior hires so lots of them will have to come from outside, at least on a net basis. This will include highly-compensated senior transfers from their other offices (to maintain the corporate culture, etc), will include new graduates (many of them would have gone elsewhere) and new immigrants who would've gone anywhere for the job. This also creates additional economic demand which will boost overall spending, creates an upward pressure on tech salaries which will add to the tax base. Also because Amazon does churn through people, this has the potential to bring many more people than 25K that come to NYC for Amazon and stay around to do other things. Ex-Amazonians as a group are also probably a good group to have around for any tech scene.

There's been a need for an alternative to Silicon Valley and this actually moves the needle in a significant way to positioning NYC that way. Combined with Google's plan for expansion, recent arrival of several SV tech companies and the natural advantage of being already the world's capital of finance, media, fashion, etc, at a time when tech is increasingly central not to its own industry but to every industry, this squarely puts NYC in contention.
No, but it would be interesting to look into
Most of the rural hospital income is based on medicare/medicaid.
I gave up on airline frequent flier plans (except Southwest and Alaska) decades ago. The big US-flagged airlines suck (cramped planes, consistently late flights, extra fees, treating customers like shit) and their FF plans suck too (expiring miles, too many restrictions on when you can fly).

Southwest and Alaska are a different story; they're still trying to compete. But the majors are so terrible I feel the opposite of loyalty toward them.
It also ended up leading to the color of the sky used in the game.

"When I pressed that switch it would wipe the color RAM. You could wipe the color RAM, and it wouldn’t affect the rest of the game—everything would keep running, just the colors would get all glitched. To a layperson, it would look like the game wasn’t complete yet. Well, one time we did this, and randomly, the colors of the sky looked extremely striking. Then I used our development tool ICE to stop the CPU and extract the color RAM data, and those became the colors we used for Space Harrier."

We're a pretty small fish as Google Cloud clients go, but we have honestly not had this problem at all. We get very fast response to support tickets, and on the rare occasions where we've had to escalate they have gone as far as setting up hangouts with senior engineers.
I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that
This person is wrong unless you define the worker market in some weird way that excludes other large employers like Boeing and uw. This article from 2018 lists other large employers, and Amazon looks smaller than expected https://www.tripsavvy.com/biggest-seattle-area-employers-296...

What they still make those?
I'm not particularly experienced (I've been cooking for years, of course, but it's hardly a hobby, more like a necessary evil), it's entirely possible we were doing something wrong. -- but it didn't seem to matter if I was using an Ikea pan or a cast iron pan I preheated for awhile; i was always on the verge of the smoke point of the oil and it still took way longer than suggested.

Blue Apron food was good; occasionally they gave us something nasty but we were usually able to toss it and just skip that one thing.
...What other social media network?
I agree. I don't know why Bill Gates, Bezos, Buffet and the rest of them don't fund residency spots... at least for 15 years. It would make a big difference in reducing costs. It's also easy to do.. just endow a medical school or hospital or something..
Is there a way to have a top level filter for Android vs ios ? Because the patterns don't cross over entirely.

And because it's a US site, the number of ios patterns outstrip Android ones ...which makes it hard to use if i only want to see android.
>>Food delivery was already an established market in India

Same Uber model there too.

`Eat this 500 rupees biryani for 50 rupees`

`Let me help you order this Baskin Robbins Ice cream for 80% discount`

`Diwali food festival, expensive ad on TV, Dal Maakhni at 60% discount`

These people are hoping that people will get so addicted to their app, eventually they will either stop cooking(Which ridiculous at the very face of it), or stop driving/walking up to their nearest restaurant.

Also, this luring people into using apps with discounts has max utility, its not a infinite trick you can play forever.

It was almost always 2 or 3 pans, and lots of prep bowls and the like. Sometimes I found out later they were unnecessary and the recipe should have just been worded differently.

I suspect that FAR more people are paying for prescription pharma than are visiting hospitals. So, it's not totally irrational that pharma is perceived as a greater "enemy" than hospitals even given possibly equivalent price inflation.
Since the 1970s it's been customary to report that fusion power will happen "in about 25 years". So, traditionally, 2043.
Microsoft is much better positioned than Google to build a large cloud business off their enterprise customers. IT execs need a "cloud strategy." MS can move their existing apps right into Azure. Presto, you have a good story for the board. Their success in this sphere doesn't surprise me. Google's cloud business growth is nothing to sneeze at, and I don't know whether it matters that they are in third place or not.
As I mentioned, I enjoy the static photos on Instagram; occasionally I try to get into following other folks' stories, but mostly I get annoyed by the captivity of them. I follow about half friends and half artists or other fun-to-look-at stuff (cars, pets, whatever).

I did a story once; I was on solo vacation and spending the day biking through Austrian wine country. It was actually pretty fun to play with, more so than I expected. I was also learning along the way, making mistakes, learning from them. That was the best part. It's not something I'd normally want to subject myself to; a quick snapshot is all i can usually be bothered with. But I can see why they're enjoyable to make if you have nothing else going on.

Hey, a conspiracy theory. Great start for a new account!

What you are misunderstanding: Companies and products are part of what's often called "the real world". As such, journalists are allowed to mention them in articles, because nothing in the real world cannot be the subject of journalism.

And in the same way that they sometimes offer positive opinions on politicians, or 200 year old books, or tomorrow's weather, it can happen that a story reflects positively on a product or company.

Accusing the NYT of corruption may seem like just a platitude to you, and spreading it as nothing of consequence. Because you're one of the smart people that see through all the propaganda that the mainstream media is brainwashing us with.

To a journalist it's kinda like accusing a physician of murder. It also gnaws at a rather important foundation of democracy. That's why you should come with some sort of rational for your theory.

As a lesser point: it would be rather stupid if the NYT could be bought by a bunch of startups. Because every single one of the people involved with these transactions would have the power to ruin the Times. It's absurd to believe that they would regularly engage in such practices and manage to keep it secret in the current political climate. It's also absurd that they would risk their existence for whatever meagre sums a few mentions in an article could be worth.
But it's implemented now in such a way that anyone can get an email in there by simply crafting the From address carefully. Out of the lesser of two evils, I know which one I would vote for.

Besides, since in the proposed solution the system is creating the filter, it could bypass checks that require the label not be sent. Just because it shows in filters, and it can be removed from filters by the user, doesn't mean it has to be able to be created through the normal filter mechanism. You still have a "system of record", if that's how we want to refer to this feature, it just requires a single initial setup step on the first received email that is intended to be kept as sent. That's entirely in line with how Gmail currently does things, such as allowing alternate From addresses (which requires an authorization step).

It's fiction in that it can be whatever they want it to be.

Like Amazon was known for years to intentionally not make a profit. They arranged their business so that all the money they made got plowed back into the business in such a way that they could claim a slight loss.

That was in their control to some degree.

IMO AWS is the true king — the Microsoft numbers are spiked by Office 365 licenses, most of which is renting Office itself. Amazon is the only one not playing games with definitions.

IBM is very vague, and I would guess that they are recharacterizing traditional software sales as private cloud by giving away cloud management components.

Google historically had a strange attitude towards enterprise sales and truely and royaly screwed over their search appliance customers for reasons that baffle the mind. They seem to investing, and hopefully don’t repeat those mistakes.
I've mostly cheated by using CSS preprocessors like Sylus (http://stylus-lang.com ) or Sass to avoid page rendering surprises, and a postprocessor like PostCSS to optimize and not worry if certain latest modules have multi browser support. A survey of these things here if interested: https://www.mdpi.com/2078-2489/9/1/17/htm

I also once read through this thesis, to understand how the rule overrides work and other problems in CSS, but gave up keeping with the new standards and switched to preprocessors https://www.wiumlie.no/2006/phd/#ch-problems
That's not the difficult part for me, it would easily just be another Bayesian prior like occupation, style of dress, language, etc. It's just that the odds of me being right and everyone else in the world being wrong about such a simple, universally understood thing are so unlikely that it's almost certain that my reasoning is wrong.
> Not sure why we need to exclude pointers?

Sometimes you need to. You cannot entirely stack allocate an object that uses PIMPL. Also you cannot allocate an array of such objects compactly in memory.

On the other hand, if you want to be able to evolve the class member variables but still maintain a stable ABI, you need to hide the memory layout, for example with PIMPL.
But this is a C++ limitation. For example Objective-C* (and also soon Swift) allows modifying the class layout, adding properties etc, without changing the ABI.

If you read carefully, he didn't actually say iPhones were preferable: "Apple’s less data-focused approach has allowed it to take the high road on privacy. That strategy has potentially insulated the company from regulations and public scorn, but it also could leave Apple with dumber products than its rivals."
Intelligent chatbots could automate away nearly all of commercial interactions
I've no idea how to interpret your remark. It's always up to anyone to freely decide to engage in conversation or to refuse a chance to chat. To accept a hand fixing a bike or to decide instead that it's more likely that the job will get done properly if they do the whole thing themselves. Etc.
For the last few years, my medical care has been administered by a PA or a nurse...All the facilities around me are like that. 1 doctor for a few PA/nurses. I don't have major medical problems (that I know of...). But I'd rather have more medical professionals that studied for 8 years, than those who studied 2. If they aren't smart enough to be doctors, let the schooling weed them out.
33 people per group is enough for statistical significance with moderate effect size, which they found here.

If you don't think it's legit, get a counter-study published. Or go into the math and show how they used the wrong statistical test.

Peer-review exists, and the people doing it are a lot smarter than "um sample size lol."
It's not that the candidates are close. It's that they're equally preferable/not preferable.
“created 25,000 search optimized landing pages”

It’s garbage that this approach works for SEO. Who wakes up in the morning and decides that creating 25k versions of the same web page is a good use of time, automated or not. Apparently it pays off, but I don’t want to compete on who can generate the most fluff, and it’s bogus that this behavior is rewarded.
On average, yes. Statistically speaking you do as well.
