The real problem here is not that the tech is imperfect, I'd actually expect it to be imperfect given it's not been even a decade for this tech. The real problem is that this imperfect tech is on public roads. How do they even get

Why is this even a subject for discussion? A typical HN user already knows about this, while the general masses don't give a f* about their privacy. Also, for the most part, FB is not getting your data without your permission(like a su

I would recommend the book C++ Primer, by Stanley Lippman. Also http://www.learncpp.com/ . Both are great resources IMHO. You might have to skim over certain topics as you already know C.

Who are the "we" they refer to in this blog? Are they Google's devs who build chrome, or are they clang's devs? If they are clang's dev, why are they building chrome? I am completely confused on this one.

Look what happened in India. The brahmin were once the richest group and at the top of socio-economic ladder. Today, they are the poorest ones, at least in the state of Maharashtra. A major reason being that brahmins don't get job&#x2F

They should solve the problems, instead of hiding the symptoms. They need to encourage women to enter tech field. This could be done at school level. They could ensure that women don't face harrasement at work. They could help women fi

If you have 90% asian male/white male candidates, and 10% women/minority candidates, would you still remove most of asian/white male candidates to bring equality?

In our campus placement, one of my female classmate was asked a single question in a "technical" interview. Which was, "Are you willing to relocate to city x". I won't make any conclusion as that would get me tons o

There are two ways to nullify a problem. 1. Solve it 2. Create another problem in equal magnitude and opposite direction. Unfortunately, most countries/organisations seem to prefer second one, because it's easier and shows effect

One thing I never understand is how people claim to support both equality and pro-minority/anti-majority actions at the same time. It's like saying you support democracy and kim jong un.

I think the north eastern India, which has lot of forest cover and is close to Himalayas, might be able to sustain local population. Similarly, the islands which don't submerge my also do fine. But the real problem will be with coastal

This is what happened to me. At some point, I realised that asking for something puts more pressure on my already stressed parents. I actually regretted having demanded few things. At first I forcibly stopped myself from wanting to have thi

I'd suggest going through https://www.privacytools.io/#email . These providers won't give your data to NSA or third party companies(or at least this is more likely, than with another provider like google). Given yo

AFAIK, the current rate of species extinction is exponentially faster than the previous ones. So "perhaps" might not be a suitable word.

Although you are right, note that liquid water expands as it heats. Also, not all ice is floating.

A huge part of world's population lives on coastal cities. When cities like Mumbai and Dhaka will start to submerge, you can imagine the havoc that will cause. Also, some countries like maldives will completely submerge. I don't t

During my childhood, my father's most of the income went into repaying loans. Luckily, we had our own house, so we didn't need to worry about getting homeless. But I remember I rarely got to spend money on any kind of "luxury

I don't understand what the use of anti-piracy measures is. Most pirates are those who won't pay for the software anyway. If an AAA game doesn't get cracked, most people would simply get another cracked game and play it. So c

Doctors here(in India) are very corrupt. They'll give you anything as medicine if they get a commission from its sales. Add to that the fact that the overall quality of both education and students in India is very poor(due to reservati
