The assumption is that only vital organs needed to help a living, sick person survive are harvested. But is that the case? Does the system define which organs may be harvested and for what purpose? Can one's entire body be donated for the purpose of research or training? Is the system truly altruistic or are there people profiting from the practice? Who decided what the rules are?
The rule of three doesn't come from a C background; it is part of RAII, something that C does not have.
This statement is wrong. It is precisely because of backward compatibility with C that this is the design of the language. As C structures can be assigned and copied, so must C++ structures.
Though I came to Smalltalk after C++, there is no doubt it informs why all things OO are the way they are. However, who has the time to attain this insight? I programmed in C for three years before learning C++ in the early '90s and there is no doubt that my knowledge of C makes many design decisions behind C++ clear (e.g., how many "young" C++ programmers actually know why the designers of C++ foisted the Rule of three onto the language). But I was too busy keeping up with endlessly changing technologies to learn, say, BCPL, to better understand the design decisions behind C.
Run forward, nascent programmers! Your knowledge of (choose your modern language) today will inform the design behind the language you learn ten years from now.
I went to retrieve a package from a UPS truck that had pulled up in front of my house. It was remarkable to see that nearly every box in the truck had an Amazon logo.
I haven't had subscription cable/satellite for many years. How are ABC, CBS, & NBC faring through all of this? I would think inertia would carry them for some time given their size but that they're sickly otherwise. I can't imagine they compete well given over-the-air decency restrictions and a corporate culture stuck in the 20th century.
The opening titles. "Nostalgic" to the older generation. "Old folks liked bland entertainment" to the younger generation. No doubt, one of the best bass lines in a sitcom jingle.
Glad for the Slashdot story. When I learned he'd died earlier today, I immediately remembered him for Barney Miller but felt uneasy, like I was forgetting something. Firefly, facepalm.
What people suffering from Dementia really need is the option to decide to leave this world on their own terms while the disease still hasn't robbed them of the ability to make those type of decisions
For those of us whose formative years were spent on BBSs, the different modem sounds while connecting is quite nostalgic. I'm sure that everyone from that era can easily differentiate the sounds between a 300, 1200, 2400, and 9600 baud modems connecting.
Second, we don't know if [Politifact is] biased or merely made a mistake
This supports my (implied) assertion that fact-checkers are no less fallible (or no more reliable) than the original news or opinion source. The idea being proposed is to allow people ("...You could have a small army of "certified fact checkers" -- people with scientific credentials, positions in academia or similar...") to act as gatekeepers of facts. These gatekeepers would be no less susceptible to bias or corruption than you or I. The findings of fact-checkers should be accorded no more weight than the stories of news writers or columns of opinion journalists.
I've seen several comments shrugging shoulders over whether there is a better sftp client out there. As an instructor who teaches an introductory C++ on Linux course to students whose only previous experience has been in Windows, I have found that MobaXterm is much better than Filezilla or PuTTY. YMMV, etc., etc.

we are expected to reach peak data, after which data will irreversibly decline.

It's hugely distracting having to drive while editing code on my phone using vim through my ssh client app.

What can't it do? If I buy now will you throw in it's effect on the radius of gopher holes, all for the low, low price of a carbon tax?
I'm thinking Watto.
What with Meryl Streep and all at the Golden Globes. The only year that I can remember that was hotter was Madonna at the 1992 MTV Music Awards.

A rock tumbler requires patience but has an awesome payoff.
A metal detector has a sense of adventure, finding bits of jewelry and coins at a playground or park.
I believe these provide immense fun.

Beware the fact-checkers. In 2012 Politifact said the assertion that Obamacare premiums will rise was "Mostly False". This is demonstrably wrong.
