It brings into question whether the entire tool is reliable in securing your livelihood. How can you use it to generate strong passwords automatically when that's broken?
I don't think anyone does. Its rarely a thought-out malice. It's more of unexpected things that happen because no one thought or cared to safeguard against that, or because such safeguards would've broken some legit feature or business model.

Like that E2E vs spam filtering issue explaination from GMail engineers.
I agree with this sentiment. I have recently shifted back to preferring hotels versus an airbnb. Hotels are consistent. You know what you are going to get. Believe it or not, but you roll the dice every time you rent an AirBnB.

If a hotel has bedbugs or you find something nasty, it makes the morning news and headlines. There are usually regulations that kick in, procedures that must be followed. The hotel goes out of their way to compensate you, yes probably even prevent you from making a big deal about it by offering you a free booking or two. If something happens on an airbnb, they get a bad review.
Since when did HN turn into an objectivist hellhole? It's like Ayn Rand herself is trying to convince me to harm others for my own benefit.

The man lived through a tsunami in the area, that was hardly a matter of exciting thoughts, but a desperate desire to prevent a predictable tragedy. By contrast people prepping for the end of days in whatever form, often nuclear, strike me as mad.

If there's a nuclear war, I want to be in the hypocenter of the first detonation, because we're not climbing out of that hole as a species in any meaningful way. I suppose that reality is why so many have turned to fantasies of a worldwide EMP of some exotic type which is at least survivable in their imagination.

Me? I've read my history, if civilization comes tumbling down, my plan is to eat a gun. Meanwhile I'll live my life without terror, and plan only for disasters that can reasonably be managed without dedicating my limited lifespan to it.

The shortest code you can get away with is not always the best. If the parameter is a structure (which I think it is here, behind the void pointer), it's a good idea to give it its own free function in case later you add additional struct members that will need freeing/cleanup in the same place. (Bonus points if it appears in roughly the same place this thing is malloc'd)

I would have been even more explicit and added a cast to the expected structure pointer type. Entirely useless, except to the human reader.
> But your solution also doesn't involve deciding on the width of an integer - your solution is to use integers that have a minimum width.

We declare the minimum width for all variables. We don't use "int" in for loops and hope for the best. I wouldn't go as far as to say "we don't care". We don't worry too much for code that's mean to be portable. We obviously care in non-portable code. But the important point here is that we use the same conventions whether we are writing portable code or not.

> So from this, it sounded like you were talking about fixed width types.

C99 conventions are too radically new to be used across our entire codebase. Uglyness has nothing to do with it. The only way to ensure fixed widths without int_leastX conventions is to be intimately familiar with the platform while we are declaring our typedefs, or creating makefiles for our projects. And to that extent, we use only fixed with types.

That's because the Coke is 55% fructose. And most of that 500ml is water, with less than 50 grams of sugar in each can. In other words, there's less than 45 grams of glucose in two cans of Coke.

Fructose won't spike your blood sugar, but it's bad for other reasons, and so I wouldn't necessarily say that two cans of Coke is better than a cup rice.

>Federally-backed student loans, undischargeable and given to all and sundry, to be spent wherever on whatever, is a gigantic short in the moral-hazard circuit.

I'm not sure you're using the term "moral hazard" correctly. If the loans were dischargeable that would be a moral hazard, because the smart thing to do would be to borrow up to your eyeballs and then declare bankruptcy ten years later on graduation day.

Bad financial decisions are nothing new. People are constantly getting loans for things they can't afford like homes, cars, credit card debt and so on.

I used to feel the same way as you. But we need to stop loading young adults with debt that can never be dismissed. Young adults are easy prey. Student's are for the most part clueless on what it means to be in debt without being able to pay for it. Mostly student's are desperate to afford their dream school or study for the one profession that will increase their pay check and are willing to sign a simple contract to get it.

Luckily some of us know early on that we must get trained in a marketable skill to pay back the loan. Greek studies or French literature will not cut it these days. Not all of us are that lucky to know it.

We need to look at the lenders and schools too. They don't care who they lend to because they have a guaranteed repayment. This leads to predatory lending for lenders.

Schools don't care what they teach. This leads to nice to know classes. They will always find student dreamers that will major in (name you silly major here.)

The supply and demand curve has gotten out of wack. Maybe only certain majors and schools can be eligible for loans as a start.

Also, how is it that a student can go to school from K-12 and not have a skill. High schools need to be responsible too. I took a year of Calculus in high school. It's nice to know it yet it has not lead to a pay check. I'm sure there are other more productive ways to spend a year of school.

Indebted students are a symptom of the bigger problem on how to train society's future workers. It's time to do something about it. Debt forgiveness and a reform to the educational system is a great place to start. BTW, free higher education is not the answer. Look at what happens to the K-12 graduates. Free higher education will only extend that system without much results.

Yes, student's are stupid and it sucks that some will get a free ride but they are only a part of a bigger problem. We need to look at the problem more broadly.

First you have to build a Fab that you trust. Then build an assembly line that you trust. Then make sure these don't have any humans in them, since humans are not trustworthy.
Society can only work when there is trust and self reliance. Usurping from those who are responsible with their money rips this fabric. If you assume we all should be ok with this because 'society' then why not make it a voluntary bailout and see how far it goes. This would be a bailout at gunpoint because that's how laws and taxes boil down.

Unless this leak revealed that the NSA forced Intel and AMD to include ME in their chips to advance their mass spying efforts such a leak would be a crime. Snowden's case is different since he was revealing info that Americans (or their reps) have a right to know. The intelligence agencies are building a mass surveillance infrastructure that is prima facie not compatible with a free country and almost certainly a violation of the constitution. The constitution and amendments do not directly apply to Intel and they are free to do whatever they want and we are free to buy or not to buy as we see fit.

TBH, I think there is a lot of focus on this ME technology and I see no reason that at some point someone is going to crack the model or the encryption and reveal exactly what it is doing and how to disable it.

I don't know if you remember, but youtube used to be ordered by time of commenting and it was terrible: so many videos had 'FRIST!!1!' comments (yes, multiple of them)

My guess is that it's just impossible to regulate. Take a website that has state of the art threading, karma system and all that: reddit.

AskReddit threads sometimes get to 10k comments, it's just impossible to read through (the bottom 5k comments will never get read, much less upvoted). And people on Reddit sometimes say that their inbox "blew up" and what not when they get a 100 responses (which is a lot really).

Can you imagine youtube-level traffic? Imagine a video with 1M views (which is really not a crazy number by youtube standards): if 1% of users dislike your comment enough to reply to it, you'll get 10k responses! Even if we cut this number by 10 (assuming that 9/10 users either don't bother reading or replying to your comment), you'd still get 1k comments. Even a tenth of that feels like a large amount.

Now, also imagine people being able to read through your comment history and go on witch-hunts like people on Reddit sometimes do (and which every moderator tries to prevent), but on youtube audience scales. Oh god…
Having a single customer who will pay you for your solution is usually a good first step.
I can't find the article I read at the time. The gist of it was that a sysadmin was bribed to gain access to the telephone exchanges and once the Iraqi government realized they were compromised they ran expedient unburied fiber links to communicate with commanders.
You walked uphill through snow to get to your current position, with grit and determination and those freeloaders, who majored in THEATER or LITERATURE, spending their college days socializing while you studied for difficult engineering exams shouldn't be allowed to escape without paying for their crime of living in a country with a broken higher education system.

Eerily similar narrative to any other welfare debate in the US.
Vim 8.0 Released
"for other people's bad financial decisions"

Why is making loans to people that have, statistically, a very low chance of paying off somehow not also a "bad financial decision"? We pay for "bad financial decisions" regardless of who makes them - debt forgiveness for individuals or bank bailouts when they get in over their heads.

Banks only lend for education because it's not dischargeable - there's no penalty for the bank making a 'bad decision' because they'll get their money one way or another.

Yes, make all student debt able to be discharged in bankruptcy, and we'll see a different dynamic play out. However... there are more predatory lenders out there that specifically target the newly bankrupt so... it may not 'cure' all issues, just shift some of the burden around.

EDIT: had meant to add that we already pay for people's bad health decisions via insurance pools, and we already pay for people's bad life decisions via prisons.
I have the same idea, how are we going to push the human race to new limits without some pioneers who are willing to exceed our mortal boundaries with the help of science.

Hotels don't address the supply side of the market.

If I as a person own a house, and I want to rent to out to other people when I am away, how do I do this in an easy way?

This is free supply that SHOULD be on the market, but wasn't until airbnb came along. Sure there was craigslist, ect, but airbnb really made the process much easier.

Eh, sort of. In my state (and many US states), the first rule that dictates short-term is whether a transient/occupany tax is paid (which it generally is, by Airbnb for their hosts: https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/653/in-what-areas-is-occ...).

But many states are cracking down on what "short-term rentals" mean and who falls into this transient tax category. Here in CA, the DRE recently released the following:

>>>First, while the Code refers to “transient occupancies”, the language that is most often used with
reference to such occupancies refers to “short term rentals” and “vacation rentals”. As mentioned
above, the maximum time period of such rentals cannot exceed 30 days.

>>>Second, the exemption refers to those who handle transient occupancies as agents on behalf of
“another or others”. It does not refer to what is commonly described as VRBOs or vacation rentals by
owner (s).

Source: http://www.dre.ca.gov/files/pdf/adv/LicenseeAlert2016shortte...

And anytime you get local departments of real estate involved, they'll go down kicking and screaming and make it as difficult as possible for Airbnb, VRBO, etc.
On the other hand, being free to experiment, screw up and revert back quickly is great for someone just learning.

The vectors for a loss of information are already out there - it wouldn't even have to be the big online gun shops. A list of ammunition/gun accessories/hunting supplies etc is probably sufficient to make a good guess for whether someone owns a firearm.

Obviously there is a possibility for a database loss if they tracked all gun sales, but considering the stat that 30% of households have a firearm and the many other possible associated data sets the risk seems minimal.

> Censorship and demonetisation on YouTube seems to be happening to people fairly regularly, and without appeal, via poorly calibrated algorithms

Demonetization happens when a video doesn't meet their "advertiser-friendly" policy, but there is an appeal process where you can have a human look at it to determine if the original assessment was wrong [0]. Do you have data to support your claim that their algorithms are "poorly calibrated"?

Can you provide some examples of "censorship"? They do have policies that things like graphic content or spam is not permitted and will be removed from the site, but I think that's reasonable.
