seppo0010··on Spanish Hacker Claims this Exploit Returns Facebook Passwords
Of course it is a prank. It does not tell you the password, it just likes a page of their choice and tags all your friends in the comments.

Duolingo is great to start learning a new language, not to become proficient.
seppo0010··on China bans new Bitcoin deposits
Think that Bitcoin is a zero-sum game. For anyone to gain a dollar, somebody has to lose it. So it's a risky business.

seppo0010··on Tinder privacy issues
Having people name, approximate location and a couple of likes you share it is usually enough to yield a small list of candidates. With the photos is easy to find the actual person.

And that is not something Tinder can fix, since that is a product vulnerability.

seppo0010··on How much memory does malloc(0) allocate?
> One side thinks that malloc(0) should return a null pointer and be done with it, which sounds like a fine idea until you realize that you can't call free or realloc on the same pointer.

Calling free(NULL); does nothing, as expected, and calling realloc(NULL, size_t) is the same as calling malloc(size_t), so it does not have that as a bad side effects.

seppo0010··on Google Play cut payments to developers in Argentina
> Due to ongoing challenges making payments to Argentine developers, we will no longer be able to pay Google Play developers based in Argentina.

https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answ...

The main reason seems to be the integration of Google Play with Google Wallet which would definitely be a problematic product for argentinian dollars restriction.

I know, I was saying that for English speakers that open the link and find an article totally in Spanish, that there is something for them to read.

seppo0010··on Argentines are now allowed to know the real rate of inflation
I think the index says that with 6 pesos a person can be fed, not a family. Still ridiculous, but less.
seppo0010··on Argentines are now allowed to know the real rate of inflation
The argentinian official CPI is totally messed up, and it's been years with all argentinians knowing that.

In the US, the inflation is so close to 0 that the index can be manipulated without rising as much suspicion.

I thought the Big Mac agreement expired and wasn't renewed.

seppo0010··on Apple forces each iOS app to have its own independent system for managing files
Android's data provider interfaces are so neat on this subject. I can't believe iOS did not implement anything like it yet.
