Meanwhile, in Saudi Arabia it's illegal for women to drive.

Iran's not perfect but they're a good deal better than Saudi Arabia.

> the only difference between a struct and a class

In C++ land, this would be true.

C doesn't let you write methods within structs. C structs don't even have inheritance. No virtual table is generated. There is no single-dispatch mechanism.

ME precedes XP, both architecturally and by release date. Can you clarify?

Hashes are easy to run forwards and hard to run backwards.

They don't have to be cryptic, but it takes a lot of brute-forcing to get a memorable one.

I think the comment was earnest. Check out this article: http://www.vox.com/2015/4/2/8332115/rubio-lee-basic-income

  It's called the FairTax, and it would replace nearly all federal taxes with
  a 30 percent national sales tax. That on its own is a regressive idea —
  low-income people spend more of their incomes than the rich do, so would pay
  a greater share of their incomes in sales tax — so the FairTax would give
  each household a "prebate" equivalent to the sales tax they'd pay on
  poverty-level spending. For example, in 2013 the FairTax "consumption
  allowance" for a family of four (two parents, two kids) was $31,020. If you
  spent that much money in a FairTax world, $7,135 of it would go to federal
  sales taxes. So the FairTax provides a $7,135 annual rebate to families of
  four, distributed monthly.

  Make no mistake: this is a basic income. There is no work requirement. You
  get it regardless of whether you make any money. It is a straight-up basic
  income. FairTaxers object to this characterization, saying that because the
  prebate is meant to compensate for taxes you pay on necessities, it's "your
  money being returned to you." But if you live below the poverty level, you
  come out ahead from the rebate. It's just a cash transfer program.

I think Plato's most significant work is his Theory of Forms -- he essentially articulated the object-oriented approach of looking at the world. Plato's abstract, idealistic "forms" are a lot like classes, whereas individual "objects" instantiate those classes.

Aristotle took this framework and developed it further with the idea of inheritance. He classified things into tree structures (with great success) across many fields including biology, zoology, geology, psychology, politics, physics, and so on.

A game is something one plays to entertain themselves. It typically involves goals and a framework for understanding progress.

'Tricking' people into playing games could provide structure to their lives, and/or orient their potential towards something constructive for society.

It sounds like you're suggesting austerity, which comes with its own set of problems. Between inflation and austerity, I don't think there's a clear absolute choice.

I've permanently whitelisted about 150 domains, and temporarily whitelist domains as I need them. It's not very problematic and pays dividends in general web browsing speed.

I mean, the deeper the comment chain, the higher the probability of someone talking about X, where X can be literally any topic.

6.8% that can't be defaulted on is low?

Not really.

Shamelessly copying a comment by /u/MasterCookSwag on reddit:

THIS is the major piece everyone misses. Mortgages were such a disaster because banks held the debt securities thinking they were safe assets and they weren't. This caused a chain reaction of devaluation of balance sheet assets and paper losses which resulted in the collapse of some major institutions. It then caused credit to dry up so businesses couldn't borrow and a crisis of confidence in the fundamentals of the economy.

Student debt won't do any of these things because the underlying structure is not even remotely similar. What student debt will do is represent a long term suck on the taxpayer both directly(through payments) and indirectly(through defaults). This will result in a drag on GDP. There is no way to short this and there won't be a collapse. That doesn't make it not a bad thing.

"QE for the people" is essentially just Basic Income.

I mean, you can buy an Enterprise license.

Here's how the release cadence works:

First, you can opt into the bleeding-edge update stream http://i.imgur.com/7gWXLd3.png

Next is "current branch" for normal consumers, who are forcibly kept up to date (arguably a good thing, since they don't have an IT department to update their computers for them) http://i.imgur.com/kYkvffQ.png

Third is "current branch for business". Businesses are still required to upgrade, but they get a bit more time to ensure rollouts go smoothly. CBB can delay updates but not indefinitely. http://i.imgur.com/vsejEFC.png

Lastly, Enterprise and Education SKUs have access to the "long term servicing branch" where you can indefinitely delay updates, and/or run your own WSUS update servers. http://i.imgur.com/2JsFq1Y.png

tl;dr yes, but you need to pay for the Enterprise SKU for that privilege.

For reference on how the law can be interpreted...

Tesla provides access to the service manuals by law. But they won't let you purchase them. You must rent them at $30/hr, $100/day, $350/mo, or $3000/yr.

It probably refers to the tokamak fusion reactor design https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokamak

Take a look at this chart http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user9218...

42% of the American workforce makes $15/hr or less. http://fortune.com/2015/04/13/who-makes-15-per-hour/

You have to start with a single step. Costs could go down over time.

I think it is selective. They say they will reveal more in May.

iPhones 6 and up have a "Secure Enclave" https://www.quora.com/What-is-Apple%E2%80%99s-new-Secure-Enc...

I don't blame anyone, I just find the result undesirable.

That's not a good tl;dr. The Fed only controls monetary policy and does not affect fiscal policy, which is Congress' responsibility. The Fed is doing a seemingly good job with the only tools available to them.

I echo the sentiment but think Android doesn't go far enough; especially as apps migrate to relying on the closed/proprietary Google Play Services framework rather than vanilla Android.

I'm anxiously awaiting the https://neo900.org/

It's great to see free and open hardware finally arriving.

I've known of RISC-V for a while, and just learned of IBM's efforts to open up their Power Architecture: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenPOWER_Foundation

Does anyone know of any other free and open processor architectures? I hope we'll see a GPU one soon.

I think of templates as an automated copy+paste mechanism. C++ templates can bloat the compiled executable pretty significantly... If you define a generic Foo<String> and Foo<Widget>, C++ templates will generate two separate binary implementations. C# will use the same implementation, and perform type checks using reflection at runtime.

Further support for the idea that C++ templates are an automated copy+paste mechanism is that you're allowed to give templates arguments that are not types.
