Section 174 has definitely been talked about a lot over the last few years, (even here on HN from time to time) but it's tax code details like this that never seem to make it above…

Ada 95 was the first language taught in my college CompSci program back in 1999 (this might have even been my textbook). Everyone would complain about Ada because no one had heard …
