If Eurocrats really want to save the Internet they'd fine companies for sending anything to recipients who haven't been double-verified.

I get an absolutely endless parade of other people's data to my gmail account. Doctors send me MRI scans. Bankers send me foreclosure notices. Airlines send me tickets. Undertakers send me condolences. The preponderance of evidenc

Guice is evil and should be eradicated, but it's probably easier to get rid of Java itself.

I don't work at Google (any more) but I have seen bugs in large-scale production that served one user's data to another user, and both times it had the same cause: a developer stored user-specific data into a process-global single

Virtually all business leases are "triple net", with the tenant being on the hook for every expense from taxes to casualty to maintenance and improvements. Commercial landlords aren't some kind of essential component of Ameri

Maybe they can, but the videos give the impression (possibly misleading) that the software doesn't have object permanence. After it gets real close to the truck its estimate of where the road might be starts to wander around.

These can make neat demos but what’s the false negative rate?

How large is this problem? I just googled the trade name of everything I own from cars down to pencils and did not see anybody taking out ads on competitors' trademarks. What's an example?

DeepMind, too? I imagine that is a real money incinerator.

I wonder why they would let the public see this. To the critical eye it looks like it barely works. It loses its mind right at the beginning, around 0:06-0:07, veers to the right for no reason and then rolls through a stop sign without st

This statement is pretty vague. Exactly what is not supported? Virtually all email is in multipart mime format.

There are tens of millions of American families with dilapidated cars and without riches. This is a stupid article. The road to a rich society is to build cities where nobody, rich or poor, ever needs a car of any quality.

Important point. The net present value of a car does not approach zero asymptotically, it crosses zero and keeps going.

It's not. The extent to which old-line businesses like telcos and banks will literally sell your data is way beyond anything Google has ever contemplated. I can call a credit card data clearinghouse and order all of the transactions

No. You can’t make assumptions about how global operator new works. Allocators like tcmalloc are allowed to override it. And string can be instantiated with any stl allocator, so it might never call ::new anyway.

Does it make a difference? It doesn't seem like your article relies on CHAR_BIT being 8.

A copy-on-write string is pretty similar to a shared_ptr to char. Like a shared_ptr, a shared string has to check whether it is the last referent when it goes out of scope. This introduces a point of contention on multi-core systems. A stri

It’s funny that every company gets to the point where they have to have their own std::string. I wonder if Facebook also traces their need back to the time when GNU std::string was copy-on-write and therefore completely useless. Google, I t

Cities don’t need area plans to achieve this. They need only amend their codes to change the parameters of their existing designation, like R-1 or whatever. No public outreach is needed to write down that a duplex is permitted in the zone c

That’s not true. Any city in California has total authority to adjust their zoning code. Cities change zoning as a matter of routine business. The reason cities have not done anything constructive is each individual small government is hel

This is not a feature of prop 13. Generational transfers were added in two later propositions, first for parents to children, later for generation-skipping transfers.

Nobody has ever lost a re-election race for SF district supervisor. It’s effectively a lifetime appointment.

I don't know that we should let cities like Redwood City off the hook. Between 2000 and 2013 their housing stock expanded by only 2%, whereas the historical pace is 1% per year, or 15% over 14 years. Their history of inaction should

Every smaller entity in the state has abjectly failed to create conditions under which housing can be built. That's why the state needs to set some minimal rules. I personally think mandatory over-the-counter zoning approval for fourp

I posted the same comment yesterday and for some reason got downvoted to oblivion. SSDs do not rely on bits being correct. Raw bit error rates in multi-level flash are generally over 1%. In other words if you read a 4K page you are guara
