Meh. This article doesn't claim to be a scientific paper, so I don't see any reason to complain. I understand that some people will be confused because it has similar formatting to a "scientific" paper. But what are we

No, the parent is actually talking about the Halting Problem. It has been proven impossible to predict when a program will exit without actually executing the program. (except in a few trivial edge cases) https://en.wikipedia.org

Er, the problem is not "people can hit an un-routable IP from outside your instance". The problem is that "if your instance allows an attacker to make a HTTP request, you might expose personal information". For example,

Typical car companies will find out that adding all these "lane assist" and "auto-stop" features will actually make us less safe.. That's why Google is going for 100% self-driving, even removing the steering wheel.
