That was one blogger and a handful of commenters on 4chan, by your own admission. Could you edit your comment to remove the word "everyone" since that is clearly not accurate?

The Hunter Biden story is, and has always been, about him selling access to his father to Ukrainian powerbrokers so that what we're seeing unfold now over there would be possible. His claims to be saving "10% for the Big Guy" clearly allude to money being kicked back to his dad the Vice President at the time, and current man in charge of delivering billions of dollars to those same powerbrokers in Ukraine now.

This is what the investigation is about. Nobody cares if Hunter was a drug addict or a douchebag it's always been about the above.
> Not even (the stories in) The Orville was free of power politics, as utopian as it was.

I had always seen The Orville as a simple form of entertainment. I didn't notice there was some deeper meaning where it wants to teach us about some utopian future. At the very least not to a degree that makes it a prime example for that.

We seem to be in a vicious cycle of politicians trying to suppress public discontentment by limiting free speech but this only creates more discontentment which requires even more suppression of speech.

disclaimer. I am sympathetic to the cause. I think Android needs to address security since they are processing personal data. I like how Rust community tries to educate others on what 'memory safety' is and is not.

But i am completely baffled by arguments that count number of unsafe blocks or code lines. Like this:

>the number of unsafe sections is a small fraction of the total code size

Code execution combinatorial effects makes number of sections or code size completely useless metrics to judge security. They do help mechanical part of auditing security in sense that they help to locate things. But locating things was never enough to judge if security is there.
This is why the CA "Web of Trust" model was dead on arrival, and we really should be doubling down on trying to render cryptography, and building personal trust networks approachable for the layman.

"And this, as I imagine, is the reason why the forwardness
to take office, instead of waiting to be compelled, has been deemed dishonourable. Now the worst part of the punishment is that he who
refuses to rule is liable to be ruled by one who is worse than himself. And the fear of this, as I conceive, induces the good to take office,
not because they would, but because they cannot help --not under the idea that they are going to have any benefit or enjoyment themselves,
but as a necessity, and because they are not able to commit the task of ruling to any one who is better than themselves, or indeed as good.
For there is reason to think that if a city were composed entirely of good men, then to avoid office would be as much an object of contention
as to obtain office is at present; then we should have plain proof that the true ruler is not meant by nature to regard his own interest,
but that of his subjects; and every one who knew this would choose rather to receive a benefit from another than to have the trouble of conferring one."

Your comment starts out pretty well, I already went back and realized that you just said the comms are "interesting", and I agree.

But then you seem to lose the thread later, talking about the first amendment, which just is not implicated at all by the emails from the Biden campaign.
Biden was Vice President at the time of the emails in question, which is what the Hunter Biden story was always about. That the story was suppressed by Twitter while Trump was in office isn't relevant. The suppression of the story is what matters, since if those emails were reported as accurate it would have wide ranging impact on the election. In fact if the story had been allowed to come out in a timely matter, the Democrats likely would have put forth a better candidate in the primary.

>An example of why software freedom is important in basebands; the proprietary PinePhone baseband software contains a vulnerability (IIRC RCE) and the vendor never fixed that issue, but the libre PinePhone baseband fixed that vulnerability.

I agree that's a great part of open source -- you can write a patch.

My concern is that without some kind of security person on the project, what happens is often people notice a flaw and hoard it... or they inform a tiny project, ride out whatever window the jerks at CERT or whatever set, then start going buck wild with it.

On my end, my big concern was privacy. You can't obtain privacy until you have security -- until you lock down your projects. And every time a project gets good enough to trust someone seems to come and fuck it up[1].

The classic example being Ubuntu -- just as I was ready to possibly switch to them from OSX, they added privacy invading features that made me think it was better to stick with Apple and start using VMs for the important stuff.

(If you or others have thoughts on distros, I'm leaning towards Debian but I worry that if I switch to that some asshole will come make that one shit the bed in the MOTD[2] like happened with Ubuntu -- I used to have one that popped up an ASCII dinosaur and said "This is a Unix system, I know this" -- but no one except me and the folks at the Apple Store should know that.)

But in general if you are making a clone of other successful product (in this case that is HyperVolt) you do need to have the entire system to make it (fake reviews, gaming system etc.). It does not matter if you are Chinese, american, or what ever. Or work very hard to become a well know brand.

Am I the only one who found this essay to be meandering? It’s frustrating because I felt from the headline that it was going to make a valid point about the odd gloss of humor as a way of social/existential self-defense that is permeating our time. And I think that that’s what the author may actually be getting at. I found the quotes pulled into the comments here to be great re: quote tweets, but I felt like the essay itself was almost like a granite obelisk of one cultural reference after the other.

Same here. Not only the goth typography, but also the old unstable spelling of the time make the text extremely difficult to read.

I tried with the image in page 12 and, even if most words should ring a bell (my own family name, places near my hometown), it was really hard.

I guess the f is some form of long s, so Caftela should be "Castela", now Castilla. Still "Affonffo" is puzzling how could possibly be Alfonso. It's interesting the use of ^ over vowels to indicate that an n or m follows in Côpoftela, that I guess it's Compostela. Also ç for Murcia. Also "outroffy" should be almost impossible to identify as "otrosí" ("also") for modern speakers. Painful.

Still, it's worth mentioning that El Quijote was less than three centuries later and perfectly readable today. There are some expressions that would be weird for us, but most of the text is very clear. Actually, I bet we could hold a conversation with Alfonso X. For comparison, I've read somewhere that the English of that time would be unintelligible for modern speakers.

> Is that not still a form of punishment?

No, it's not. It's compensation for damage done. If a bad driver bends your car in an accident, they don't get punished, they just have to pay for your repairs.

> A threat is a threat to do something illegal. Blackmail is a threat to do something that's often completely legal

You seem to have contradicted yourself; if a threat is a threat to do something illegal, how can a threat to do something completely legal be a threat?

> But as with libel and slander, the fact that they're illegal doesn't mean they don't happen.

There is such a thing as criminal libel, for which you can be punished; but in the general case, neither libel nor slander is "illegal". They are torts, or "wrongs", for which a victim can demand compensation. Criminal libel has been abolished in my jurisdiction. I don't think it ever existed in the USA. [Edit] I'm wrong; some states apparently have criminal libel statutes.

> And can you only draw it after people act on it?

"Threatening behaviour" is a criminal offence here. It generally means placing someone in fear of physical or mental injury. You don't have to actually injure them to commit the offence.

> make us ignore all the edge cases

I guess that's why libel cases often cost lots of money in lawyer's fees. Equity and tort are two fields of civil law with lots of edge-cases. People litigate these cases precisely because the lines aren't drawn clearly. They tend to turn on issues like fairness, issues that are ultimately a matter of judgement.

Are the any good resources that explain the concept of strings in C, particularly why they’re considered to be so difficult to manage? I’m interested in the language, and that along with its safety concerns seem to be the two most frequent complaints against it that I read about online.

I always use antirez's (Redis creator) `sds` and advertise it whenvever I get the chance. Thanks to the someone who recommended it on HN some years ago. It's a joy to use.

https://github.com/antirez/sds

The trick is the size is hidden before the adress of the buffer.("Learn this one simple trick that will change your life for ever").

From the Readme:

```

Advantage #1: you can pass SDS strings to functions designed for C functions without accessing a struct member or calling a function

Advantage #2: accessing individual chars is straightforward.

Advantage #3: single allocation has better cache locality. Usually when you access a string created by a string library using a structure, you have two different allocations for the structure representing the string, and the actual buffer holding the string. Over the time the buffer is reallocated, and it is likely that it ends in a totally different part of memory compared to the structure itself. Since modern programs performances are often dominated by cache misses, SDS may perform better in many workloads.

```
I don't want to diss this, it's useful to some but to say "Your database knowledge is outdated" is presumptuous to the point of insulting. It's basic to intermediate level stuff, like using CTEs to break up queries (and you don't discuss how this can overload the optimiser), and doing multiple aggs in one select.

I also can't C&P from your pages as they're images, but Ghost Conditions Against Unindexed Columns has '... AND type = in (3, 6, 11)' - is that right or did you mean 'type in (...)'. It also talks about multi-col indexes as being more useful in some cases, true, but very elementary.

Biden was Vice President at the time the Hunter Biden emails selling access to him were sent, which is exactly what the story was about. "10% for the Big Guy" while he was VP should definitely be a story when that same former VP was then running for President. Especially now that he has delivered on that access, by funneling billions to those same Ukrainian powerbrokers in the form of military aid and infrastructure spending.
I think that the static prompt (+ current date) is prepended on the server side before being passed to the actual model for processing. So the current date is being artificially injected by the OpenAI web server, for example, or some other middleware.

>The market is definitely open to an Amazon competitor which has a store front not chock full of garbage, a decent logistics network, returns policy and reasonable pricing.

We already had that before Amazon took over, and we still have that today. In the US, Target and Walmart fit that description, as does Best Buy for electronics. Walmart has long had a reputation for poor quality products, but they're practically a luxury store compared to the trash that fills Amazon these days.

Problem is none of them can keep up with Amazon on shipping times. My tire pressure gauge broke yesterday morning and I had a new one on my porch by 6pm. Amazon may just be AliExpress with faster shipping these days, but faster shipping is a big deal to people.

We are not building the Great Chinese Firewall. That is a slippery slope-style assumption and fallacy.

Many people are in support of banning propaganda websites and for good reasons. They sow fear, uncertainty, and doubt and advance foreign information warfare goals. The British people would undoubtedly be against implementing a Great Firewall or anything similar. Ideas like that would face a lot of opposition and scrutiny. Too much to succeed in any meaningful way.

We still have enough discussion in media and public forums in the UK to engage deeply and meaningfully with most topics. And to share opinions freely and respectfully. You are painting Ofcom's/Foreign Secretary's move as far more sinister and impactful than it is. Although it is a move in the direction of government control, not all such actions are unwelcome by people; not everyone is so libertarian. Sometimes the government has powers that individuals don't, and that can help everyone.
I am not in academia - but the meetings you have described reminded me of the meetings I had during my PhD years. I was supposed to attend 1 or 2 meetings every year in different cities in France (it was joint work between different teams from different french labs). Your first realization (where nothing gets solved, no one to make final decision) was also my experience while attending those meetings.

Reading your post - it seems to me that you are not happy with kind of collegues/peers you are working with ("someone has to cover for someone else, people with larger ego can get other to do part of their job").

Whether you stay in academia or go to industry - you are likely to encounter the same problem depending upon the quality of peers around you.

If you are passionate about research, try moving towards top-tier european universities/labs (ecole polytechnique, tum). I feel that the research is more directed and you will have better peers.

> Attempting to split a string using non-existent delimiter with str_pop_first_split() [returns an invalid string with .data == NULL].

But that seems like a valid case: e.g. these are comma-delimited lists of numbers:

"" // empty
"1" // one number
"20,30" // two numbers

the above remark in the documentation seems to be saying (perhaps falsely) that if we try to extract a token from the "1" string using "," as a delimiter, we get an invalid str_t rather than "1".

I don't see coverage for this in the tests. There is a test which uses "123/456/789", which extracts the first two splits, and then just verifies that "789" remains. What the programmer wants is to be able to write a loop which will extract "123", "456" and "789" and then* hit the terminating case where the invalid str_t is returned.

How many items are in "1,2,3," viewed as comma-separated: three or four?

It would also be a code improvement to replace umpteen repetitions of "(str_t){.data = NULL, .size = 0}" throughout the code with a macro.
