Yeah re-reading the wording now I think you're right. It's this part that throws me off: > could determine that, in the absence of any undefined behavior "could determine that" based on the code example shown vs "could…
> Consider the following example: if (cond) { A[1] = X; } else { A[0] = X; } > A total license implementation could determine that, in the absence of any undefined behavior, the condition cond must have value 0 or 1. >…
I found it odd that the author seems to think that empathy for the individual is somehow at odds with caring for the many, instead of being closely correlated. As if removing empathy would somehow get people to care…
Making self-driving cars safer than people-driven cars is trivial. The hard thing will be handling the tidal wave of FUD when the inevitable happens and someone dies as a result of one. Google or Nissan or whoever will…
I think an interesting implication of this is that people may feel satisfied having purchased something useless that seems to have enough "stuff" in it.
I think the idea is that if the manufacturer was the only one selling, that they could inflate their prices higher than what the middleman overhead would be since they're the only one offering that product. Why he…
He gave a sincere followup. It wasn't sarcasm.
I really think Android should add another layer of protection here, similar to the "This app wants to use your location" prompt in iOS. I'd like to be able to install an app that might need to access my phonebook in…
If the author wants us to discuss the point he should get to it faster rather than droning on about apple stock and product pipelines. 300 words isn't so much that it's cumbersome to read, but it definitely primed me to…
I think Machinarium is a good example of how you can preserve the fun frustration of adventure games without pushing people to cheat. They would allow you to play a mini-game in order to reveal some extra hints which…
So clearly similar laws should exist to protect email, encrypted or not.
You reminded me of a sort-of relevant part from Richard III that I enjoyed: BUCKINGHAM: And when mine oratory grew to an end I bid them that did love their country's good Cry 'God save Richard, England's royal king!'…
I don't get it. Nearly that exact scenario played out with John Lasseter and Disney/Pixar. I don't see why it would be unreasonable here.
Why is it idiotic? I see more value in having Disney pay an appropriately large amount of money to keep their IP than I see in making sure that their specific content gets into the public domain. Who cares about…
It sounds like it would allow a client to send data (HTTP request) before the server has acknowledged that the TCP connection is open.

Google maps allows you to find things you didn't know existed in the first place. I've often found myself spinning the globe and zooming down onto a remote island's beaches just to see what it looks like on another part…
You're over engineering this I think. The "hash" only needs to be an internal account id that can be plugged into Blizzard's database to get your account info. No encryption is necessary. There is no way to get a…
I'm a technical user who spends a lot of time using Linux, and it gets out of my way for doing development quite well. Of course, that's because I exclusively connect to Linux machines through an ssh terminal on my Win7…
