Just recently 550 miles were broken with a Tesla S, driving at an average speed of 21 mph. https://www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/comments/3lc8hu/tesla_m... My observation, based on the driver's comme

I'm surprised a plain floppy disk is considered secure because it is in an envelope. Even though that envelope requires an id to pick up, I see that similar as a message in plaintext that has a header: private - please don't read

That is functionally a horrible design. Imagine a couple hundred solar systems. It is very likely that one will have exactly 8 planets with their 3rd planet being their home planet. And even if such a system doesn't exist, this map doe

Well, most people share more with Google (search text) that with their closest friends. And most of them are just fine with that. Until of course they are in the spotlight. Since that almost never happens, we have this privacy apathy goin

Are you suggesting those people will literally forget they are living in the real world? I don't see this happening, since they will have to occasionally take the headset off to work, eat, use toilet. What they will do is ignore the st

That state is caused by addiction, that, and not VR, is the problem in the picture. The enabler can be whatever: hard drugs, nicotine, coffee, TV, VR, video games,...

You are taking a strawman position. Take a look at the bigger picture, my other comment, and reevaluate.

Op is talking about time-spans longer than we've had the internet. Don't flatter yourself by thinking you can predict the future. ( Ironically, neither Firefox nor Opera opened a .epub file out-of-the-box. So much for compatibilit

You make an excellent point. With the prevalence of DRM and ownership, someday you might not be able to read your book, either due to old unsupported device or a format, or even the company going bankrupt. Even if neither of this happens, a

In any case, there are significant differences at runtime as well. Look at the link I posted at your other comment.

a is a label, or an alias of a memory address. It is not a pointer. ( Your third example has a mistake, the correct increment is: a+2, because pointer arithmetic increments in object size not byte size ) Read this: http://eli.theg

There are whole separate chapters describing arrays and pointers in the C Standard. This is by definition a strict difference. You should read those chapters and please stop spreading this beginners misconception of C.

Because a is a pointer and not an array. That is by design. When you pass an array to this function you are not copying the entire array, C is pass by value, therefore you must pass a pointer. In fact a behaving like an array would be lying

Array is not a pointer. Your description of indexing is not correct, neither is the phrase "array pointer" you invented. The machine code produced will calculate the offset differently for a pointer and an array.

You can omit the OO in C++ and achieve a similar code size. If that is a reasonable metric in the first place, is a question the article doesn't address.
