Make it 63 (31?) to align with what C99 can distinguish.
Also: I really like unicode in identifiers. So if at all possible don't just have a random string of letters and numbers, make sure to include greek letters and all the funny emojis. (I just forgot which languages and compilers etc allow that.)
Hmm. It was more an impulse. But I like your explanation better. I'd like to go with that... Maybe that'll be my thing from now on, instead of writing "Anti AI-License" underneath my posts as some other people here do.
There are very few countries where torrenting is safe. Generally speaking: No. You can try file hosters or other platforms, or share a VPN with a friend or use services similar to a VPN. AFAIK there is not alternative that's as fast and convenient as Torrent, though.
Hmmh. That is about a different author who said that on Instagram. And reading that Instagram post (which I haven't done before) ... There seems to be more to it. Sharing documents with explicit content with multiple people seems to be the issue. And that'd align with my experience. I've worked on 'normal' Google cloud documents with ~30 to 50 people and nothing ever happened. That could be coincidence but I suppose lots of people do that. Maybe it's really the combination of the two factors.
They're fairly known to do this. For YouTube creators it's been this way for years. With nobody at the other side, just AI. Every now and then some YouTuber makes a video how they were able to restore their account against all odds.
I mean with that it's bad because peoples livelihood is on the line. But also getting a regular Google account can have serious consequences. People use it to login to other services, have half their lives stored there and their phones connected.
And I think there is a general push towards AI powered customer support. I'm afraid in 10 years it'll be very hard to reach anyone that can help you if it's not the standard procedure. And it'll be more a sci-fi dystopia. With most companies and contracts.
Hmmh. Good reminder not to rely on these cloud services too much. And I mean the terms and services are kinda vague and enforced by a (rogue) AI. She could have stored murder mystery stories to the same effect.
I don't know and my empathy isn't good enough to picture what a person like that wants. They seem to be pissed, the complexity of the world is too much for them. And they're a bit low IQ but speak up immediately and tell some simple truths that won't ever work in reality. Their thinking is: When I was young everything felt simpler. When I was young we also had a different currency. So bringing back the old currency will solve all issues... So I'm not sure if they even want the fourth Reich. I think they just want to be negative and complain. They'd probably also complain if that happened.
I read a few and saw a few movies that tell me otherwise... Discussing an hypothetical "perfect murder"... Detailing how they were murdered with a frozen icicle so there won't be any weapon or fingerprints left...
I mean those examples are a bit exaggerated. But there are pretty realistic stories. And I'd say the lines between story and guide aren't always that clear. That's part of the thrill. The good ones are kinda detailed enough to be both.
Same goes for historical records.
And I think if you grow up completely sheltered from evil and true life, you're bound to miss out, not to know aboud bad things. You won't have any understanding or defense against it and will get exploited. And you're missing half of the fun and intelligence that would otherwise be your potential. Also you can't keep kids from having to make their own decisions forever. At some point they need the tools and knowledge to decide for themselves.
I can recommend the sci-fi dystopia "The Giver" about that. (The sheltering part, not the murder mysteries.) But read the book, the movie isn't good at all. And read it while you're young, it's probably more suited for adolescents than for adults.
Sure. To prepare someone to become a responsible adult, they need information. Learn things good and bad. Understand especially WHY people do things and consequences of actions.
I mean if you exclude half the truth, your kids will not learn how to judge things and make decisions.
And things not being etically 100% correct is not a reason to hide them altogether. I mean my mom also reads murder mystery stories and murder is not okay... I think beginning with a certain age it is important to learn also about ambiguous stuff. It's part of life.
That doesn't mean I'd have to teach them myself. But I'd talk to them and make sure they learned the right things.
Sure, I mean the needs and wants of the consumer and the companies can be opposed to each other. It'd be convenient for the companies if it were simple(r). Maybe at the cost of the people.
I'm not that gifted with the lawmaking process in the USA. I don't really understand what is the responsibility of whom, national or federal... It sounds to me more like an issue with complexity of having a federal republic than anything with privacy...
And I mean you already have different legislation in all of the states that affect businesses and what they can sell to whom. (And how.)
Free software means that the software's users have freedom. (The issue is not about price.)
Specifically, free software means users have the four essential freedoms: (0) to run the program, (1) to study and change the program in source code form, (2) to redistribute exact copies, and (3) to distribute modified versions.
It depends on how "far from perfect" the bill is. I think most of the times it is wise to revise a bill before it gets passed because it becomes more complicated after that. You'd need a whole new bill for that, start at zero with that, and convince everyone that it's necessary to tackle the same issue yet again. Of course the role of the EFF also is to advocate for privacy and the people and pick on things if politicians don't do it right, not agree with a healf-hearted attempt. So they're bound to be negative about smaller issues with any proposed solution.
I see some valid concerns. There are several loopholes. Some things won't get protected. I think it's a bit strange that contractors can do whatever they want. And "pay-for-privacy" isn't what we should strive for. Sure, it aligns well with American ideology, but it only helps the rich and people with time at hand to care about such things, while exploiting the average Joe and 98% of the population.
And immediately introducing a mandatory ceiling is more caring for the big tech companies, than for the citizen.
Thanks for broadening my perspective.
