No, the topic was "implicit isn't the right default" It was a mistake that can't be fixed saying "C++ doesn't need implicit as a keyword so it is better" is wrong when explicit is the better default if you

The ROI on a solar water heater is terrible. Cost us $10k before rebates (half that with) and saved us less than $50 a month in electricity. If I stuck around for a decade it might have paid off but given a family member's unit didn&#x

Did any of those people owe money to an American company or were they all detained for criminal offenses? The fact that sometimes you can't leave isn't the story. The fact that a citizen business can report theft and block your ri

Implicit can make things hard to understand meaning it should be used with caution. But allowing CustomInt i = 0; instead of CustomInt i = CustomInt::Zero; or worse CustomInt i = static_cast<CustomInt>(i); isn't a bad thing.

Having a vector with a sized based constructor transform an integer into a vector is surprising.

C# uses the syntax `operator bool` to define conversion so sometimes they get called operator accidentally.

Additionally courts consider the fact that users have little if any say in the terms and thus tend to take the most restrictive but still reasonable view of any uncertainty in the terms. Basically "if you wanted it you could have asked

Doesn't everybody not require only a password? Offline you need the database which isn't public. Online you usually need something else on new machines to get at the true master password.

You don't get a refund from Disneyland if they kick you out for stealing. Additionally typically most of the value of the things people purchased is over when actions are taken. You can argue they are owed something but a complete refu

While we need better consumer protections forcing full refunds when you try to defraud a company doesn't make sense either. Sure there is the potential that this poster was innocent but Apple's fraud division certainly isn't

You can't donate money to dodge taxes. You need to donate a good and have it be overvalued or maintain control over it. Gates mostly donated shares who have a fair value (market value). Gates similarly has control over direction but is

Tax breaks for donations only impact these kinds of schemes. The majority of donations aren't conditioned on a tax write off from what research has been done.

E2E is weird as it is half risk transference. Sometimes it makes sense to pay even failed things because your overall cost is lower. Say hypothetically that TSMC said $30 per working chip or $8 per chip and $2 to test. Taking the later choi

I don't mean never remove trees. I mean that we removed healthy trees in the name of safety. Certainly verifying the health of trees and removing those that aren't healthy is a good thing. My point is removing all trees within X d

Non-intoxicated drivers do slow down in less forgiving environments though. It isn't that accidents are impossible but the impact speed if you were doing 30 mph is livable. If you were drunk doing 60 mph it wouldn't be.

It can cost tens of thousands to remove a single tree. No shot those reasons would justify millions in tree removal fees. However the huge budgets for roads could do it trivially. You underestimate the impact of measuring fatalities as the

by Guvante 3y ago
Only recently has the traffic safety community started ignoring drunk drivers. Historically we measured efficacy by measuring fatalities. If you treat all deaths as equal your minimizing function will be narrow viewed.

Not comparable. Driving isn't intrinsic. Transportation is important but has multiple solutions.

We had trees, they ripped them out in the name of safety. "A drink driver might swerve off the road" killed so many old growth trees in the US.

Nothing about the post you responded to says "people are willing to pay for a more pleasant experience". The closest is "people aren't willing to pay to improve an unpleasant experience" which isn't related to

You can't be vague and make your point here. I explained a category of "mistakes" and you simply repeated your point. To be clear my point wasn't about who made the mistake but that some categories of mistake aren't
