Your N300 is not getting security updates, but my OnHub is.

I haven't seen my OnHub since I turned it on last year. This puts it well ahead of all other wifi access points I have owned.

My favorite example along these lines is health care. If USA ever gets a reasonable health care system both GDP and productivity are going to plummet, even though everyone will be objectively better off.

This is one of the most high-impact tools Google has. Although it is difficult to use and the data it produces hard to analyze, it can tell you things that no other tool can. My favorite mode is dead code coverage mode. At startup all the t

Yeah, again I am lazy and did not want to do all that typing on my phone. See https://godbolt.org/g/ywU2en for the full monty.

You're right but I am just that lazy sometimes.

This is one of my favorite features of unique_ptr. It is an all-purpose way to make something happen at the end of scope without having to write a new struct and destructor. You don't even need the pointer at all since you can simply d

Actually the pollutants in question are not greenhouse gases. Quite to the contrary, it is likely that these cars would have used more fuel and produced more greenhouse gases if they had been designed to meet the emissions standards.

Indeed, one wonders why the government (of the US or of Germany) continues to tolerate the existence of this company at all. They've clearly conspired at the executive level to mislead regulators. The corporation is a figment of the

Everyone is welcome to the life they prefer, but as for the actual urban areas I'd prefer to see some efficiency. The subsidies we currently pour out to the great many people you describe are immense.

Are you implying that there are socioeconomic classes whose constituents enjoy a car-based cityscape like this one: http://www.ronbeitler.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/mall.jp... ?

That's only true if your origin and destination are both surrounded by parking which makes them places not worth visiting. The thing about trams is they enable a full urban environment of places people actually want to be.

Like every contactless smartcard ever. For that matter my iMac is a battery-free computer that can be programmed wirelessly.

I think GM would have gone straight out of business if they hadn't had their joint venture with Toyota (NUMMI). You can say they didn't learn as much as they could have, but I don't think you can say they got much out of it.

The battery factory is owned and operated by Panasonic. Tesla itself operates out of the former Toyota/NUMMI factory in Fremont and has re-hired a substantial number of skilled autoworkers in the area.

One thing I'd love to know, and that might come out in court eventually, is which early investors exited in the huge dumb-money round in 2014. What did they know and when did they know it, and all that.

That's great, but it puts Iowa in a tiny class of rational D's of T. Most governments find roads, streets, and parking to be obviously desirable.

Does efficiency also matter for roads? Has anyone ever produced a list of all the unprofitable roads in the country?

"whole executable file is loaded to memory at startup" might be something you were going to do anyway, if you are running a latency-sensitive service. There's nothing worse than having to page in parts of the program after i

Indeed, if there was something I could force the average person to learn it would not be computer programming, it would be mass balance or other elementary principles of accounting. Input + Generation = Output + Consumption + Accumulation I

Typical C program, eh? Yet another reason to not program in C, I guess. sum = std::accumulate(begin, end, 0);

I find these billboards amusing when I am up in the "empty quarter". The State of Jefferson folks believe in sovereignty but wouldn't have the economy to maintain even a fraction of their roads, or to fight a fraction of the

I wonder what the impact is on networking loads. Often the most important thing is for a thread to wake on the core with ready access to the packet that woke it. Other scheduling concerns are counterproductive.

As has been amply demonstrated by Frist and Ben Carson, being an MD does not necessarily prevent being an idiot as well.

Well it's a big company. In my area people who propose writing new code in python are either gently corrected or heartily derided.
