Well, not surprising, given that this is the internet and Hacker News. :)
Wow Etherpad still exists?! That is OG YC.

I've run Oracle JRE and OpenJDK with it and both work OK; also some BlackBerry SDK tools built for Linux. I'm sure there's some rough edges, and I don't know about performance, but once I mounted the appropriate filesystems, things were working, and that was good enough for me. I think that you do have to pick between a current release of FreeBSD and 64-bit Linux binaries or an older release of FreeBSD and 32-bit Linux binaries, and no way to support both sizes on the same host; but that might be me misremembering.
We had one of the two-processor BeBoxes at my uni computer club – it was a really cool machine to play around on, and at the time I was using it (1999) one of our few graphical terminals with a web browser, so in quite a bit of demand.

We also had a NeXT tower, three SGI machines running IRIX, a Mac upon which someone had installed Mac OS X Server 1.0 (NeXT innards, UI looked like classic MacOS).

I kind of miss the diversity of systems we had back then. In many ways we've gone forward – tinkering is much easier now with the preponderance of cheap, fast dev boards and systems like the Raspberry Pi, but it does feel like actual user-facing stuff is now largely locked down, without as much innovation and competition.
Crop land is more intensive than grassland. To grow crops today profitably, you have to use synthetic fertilizer and pesticides. So cows for example largely eat grass. They also get some hay and some silage (which is made from the stalks of corn, inedible for humans). Even soy beans, which are used to feed pigs and chickens, only about 20% of the bean is useful for human consumption so they already extract that (soybean oil) and use it in many products. The rest is used for meal, and fed to livestock.
I don't see them discussing the definition of "resting metabolic rate" in this paper. I don't know how long it takes the body to reach the "resting metabolic rate" though I imagine it varies depending on quantity and intensity of physical activity.

What I'm getting at is that people are more likely to drive to the doctor than they were in the past, which means they actually were likely at a truly resting metabolic rate when arriving at the doctor's office. While in the past, it's more likely people might have walked (or ridden a horse) a mile or more to the office, which I imagine would result in the "resting rate" to often not actually be a resting rate but be somewhat elevated.
Beef looks neat; way better than Rust.

If I lose my phone, I call Verizon to move service over to last year's model sitting in a drawer somewhere. It'd be very surprising and creepy if Chase somehow knew about or acted on this change.

On that customer service call, I have to give an account PIN. According to them, if I don't know it I have to come into a retail store with photo ID. That seems pretty sensible.

But it's not bulletproof. Probably at least one retail store employee would take a sufficiently large bribe to skip the ID verification step.
Just wanted to take a moment to appreciate the awesome response to feedback and new added feature.

Some people argue that Sun (or the Sun engineer) as creator of the license made the CDDL intentionally GPL incompatible.[13] According to Danese Cooper one of the reasons for basing the CDDL on the Mozilla license was that the Mozilla license is GPL-incompatible. Cooper stated, at the 6th annual Debian conference, that the engineers who had written the Solaris kernel requested that the license of OpenSolaris be GPL-incompatible.[18]

Mozilla was selected partially because it is GPL incompatible. That was part
of the design when they released OpenSolaris. ... the engineers who wrote Solaris
... had some biases about how it should be released, and you have to respect that.
Is the claim that Gates is sharing what he believes is most important and Zuckerberg is listing what he thinks will actually be important?
I’d like to look into the features of notion more, but I can’t help but wonder why it isn’t more common to see people using a local SQLite database, or any other self hosted database, to serve as a personal knowledge base management system. A lot of the paid solutions I’ve seen seem to bend over backwards to offer a limited subset of the features that are trivially available in an actual database.

Has anyone tried out using a personal database like this?
Ask HN: How did you first hear about the automation tools that you are using?
It seems automation tools are used almost everywhere in the development process. I'm just curious about how did you know about the tools, especially for the less famous ones?
I like Helmut Neemann's Digital: https://github.com/hneemann/Digital

It simulates logic, supports automated testing, simulates and analyses combinatorial and sequential logic, comes with a large library of components (generic stuff, specific 7400 logic, displays and memories, etc), it can output VHDL or Verilog, and it can export JEDEC files for GALs.
Security Risks in the Supply Chain
You're thinking of the Guest Additions which is part of the base Virtualbox package and free for commercial use.

The (commercially licensed) Extensions pack provide "Support for USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 devices, VirtualBox RDP, disk encryption, NVMe and PXE boot for Intel cards"[1] and some other functionality e.g. webcam passthrough [2]. There may be additional functionality enabled by the Extension pack I cannot find at a glance, but those are the main things.

That is included by default in create-react-app.

Many of the advanced features aren't implemented yet though, like compression, encryption, snapshots, RAID5/6....
For the email box, presumably he doesn’t want bots entering emails.
I've been burned by both Namecheap and GoDaddy, along with losing a few domains in the infamous registerfly scam in the early or mid 00s. Namecheap may have been simple cock up, rather than systemic pattern of intentionally fucking over every customer. Avoid GoDaddy at all costs.

I consider GoDaddy to be one of the worst companies in existence, as bad as anyone else you can think of, as free of corruption as current ICANN and as fraudulent as registerfly. Clients looking at available domains have found them immediately registered and squatted at {hundreds}% markup. Their incompetence lost me a few domains, and several freelance clients reported similar -- all of whom were paying vastly over the odds for what they were getting. GoDaddy make Gandi look an exemplar of ideal behaviour for behaving as people are reporting in this HN post.

Their previous CEO had domain squatting and a complete lack of personal ethics as sidelines. That's quite apart from their horrific upsells making a simply renewal a 22 page nightmare of deeply dark patterned "no" clicks against atrocious value "offers".
This seems to be everything that commenters on HN claim to want, but the $20 a year thing seems to be fundamentally incompatible with how social networks grow.
> nihilistic antagonism so common in the security industry

Thank you, that is a very nice label for an annoying phenomenon.
Linux is generally not happy about seeing any out of tree drivers.

But that is also not without reason, in a certain way Linux balances in a field where they are and want to stay open source. But a lot of users (and someteimes the companies paying some "contributors", too) are companies which are not always that happy about open source. So if it's easy to not put drivers under permissive licenses and still get a good experience out of it they will have very little sensitive to ever make any in-tree GBL drivers and Linux would run at risk of becoming a skeleton you can't use without accepting/buying drivers from multiple 3rd parties.

Through take that argument with a (large) grain of salt, there are counter arguments for it, too. E.g. the LLVM project with is much more permissive and still maintained well, but then is also a very different kind of software.
No, the problem is that their dependencies will use the new gimmicks, and if they need feature or security updates in those dependencies, they will need to migrate their applications to the new platform.
how do you structure that? block images served by iscsi? shares served by nfs/samba?
I have never understood the mindset that new housing has to be cheap or "affordable" to middle income people. New things whether it be a car or a home is always going to be more expensive and it being in the bay increases that immensely.

I grew up in the bay and now live elsewhere because the price of living in the bay became unjustifiable to me. I don't see why so many people feel that they are entitled to live in a place that they do not own and feel its the role of the gov't to ensure that they have a place to live.
Greed?! They’re not making money on this.
That is true, and you are right.
I wonder if this was exactly what they intended, i.e.: "just don't bother anymore to write out of tree driver and put them under GBL into the tree". And ZFS might just have been accidentally hit by this but is in a situation where it can't put thinks into the tree...
Even if the effects were not properly accounted for in the calibration of thermometers (which I doubt, in general), it would not likely cause a systematic error that shifts slowly over decades. The authors of the report have identified, and explored, other, more plausible souces of such systematic errors, such as in how the measurements are performed.
> The article repeatedly points out that the Bible Museum didn’t know anything was stolen, and cooperated to return things when they found out

What the article repeatedly points out are circumstantial reasons for thinking the Bible Museum very much knew that they were not engaged in legitimate trade. 99.6% of the papyri the museum owns lack provenance and are still inaccessible to researchers and the public, even digitally. Artifacts were declared as "tile samples" when shipped to the US. The museum only returned pieces after years of controversy whose resolution came about without their cooperation (proof that the papyri were stolen was assembled without cooperation from the Greens).
I think ZFS - or at least the set of features ZFS provides - is relevant at any size or disk count all the way down to a single disk in a laptop. I've previously run ZFS on single block devices, though nowadays all my personal machines use at least ZFS mirroring. Without redundancy it can't recover from damage on its own, but checksums and free snapshots are irreplaceable to me.

It doesn't have to be ZFS in particular, I'll gladly switch my Linux systems over once a proper alternative is in the kernel. But right now it's the only working, mature solution. Bcachefs isn't ready yet and BTRFS isn't trustworthy.
My grandfather likes National Geographic, and was always into science programming. National Geographic and MSNBC are his channels. The last time he was in rehab, their cable subscription didn't have MSNBC, but it did have National Geographic, so I got to see a lot of it sitting with him...lo and behold, National Geographic, the channel associated with those amazing magazines I'd stack and read as a kid, now runs these weird one-sided fascist, xenophobic prison documentaries all. day. long. It's sick stuff.

The more you look at the web/Internet, you’ll notice it’s not as decentralized as most people believe
> How is replacing Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg with anybody else will give you a Utopia Facebook?

Not to speak for the OP but the idea is that you don’t replace them, you just remove them. And use decentralised, open source solutions instead.
Kroger (and their subsidiaries like QFC, Fred Meyer, Fry's Marketplace, etc), Walmart, Safeway (and Albertsons/Randalls) all use Suse with BTRFS for their point of sale systems.
Why would you want the libraries you depend on to change??
I think the correct way to think about it is not that nobody does anything wrong, it's that if people consistently do things wrong, and it's reasonable clear that they are doing things wrong, then their long run survival rate in a competitive market will be zero, as someone else will outcompete them.

If someone is making a claim that someone is clearly doing something wrong, the burden of proof should -- to some extent -- be on them to explain why despite this, they are continuing to be successful without going out of business (if that is in fact the case).

For example, it feels to me that the way FANG companies hire SDEs and place them on teams is inefficient and weird. Why are 24 year old 1337coders considered fungible to work on any project? It doesn't make sense to me. But it's hard for me to convince myself that my feeling is correct, given that there are billions of dollars on the table for anyone who can come up with a better strategy.
Yep:) I'd forgotten about that one, but when it gets merged I will have to seriously consider it! Unfortunately, that's probably years out, so I'm stuck on ZFS for now. I also have some portability concerns (ZFS works on FreeBSD, NetBSD, Illuminos, and Linux, and this was a selling point for me), but I'll probably get over it or at least mostly switch to bcachefs when it goes mainline.
I like it, and I appreciate that you changed your mind - I'm still staunchly in the flamgraph camp of capturing and displaying whole stacks, but now I could see using this for small code samples, especially with the memory usage information added on top.

Thanks for being good with my grumpy feedback!

Your frustration with React and the npm ecosystem is common but easily remedied; try NextJs.
You are correct. The best you can do would be an activated carbon filter, which some better filters have. However, if I am reading/interpreting the graphs correctly, this is talking about over four miles from the leak. You'd be in the 2-5 ppm range (based on surveys) or less for NG (ethane and methane). so, maybe some reduction, but I doubt it would have a physiological effect.

That may be still in the range for mercaptan tracer gas olfaction, in which case carbon would decrease the smell, but that's about it.
When I think back on how bad it got for me at my worst points, it does seem miraculous how far I've come. When I first started praying, I was so far down I'd wound up in a mental hospital, and I made a promise to God/myself that if I ever got out of the situation I was in, that I'd become a believer (was a firm atheist growing up). 10 years later, I have a successful career and a loving family, and my difficult past seems like a different lifetime. I fully intend to stick to the promise I made back then.

That said, I also believe that it wouldn't have been possible without me taking a lot of actions and working to better my situation. In my mind, it's like God held the door open, but I had to push myself to actually step through it.

So to answer your question directly, I don't believe it would've been possible without some form of divine assistance, like if I was just talking to myself (as in meditation).
Many of the interpretations you have, and the intents and beliefs you claim Zuckerberg holds, are not evident in the article.

You're coming across as someone with an intense confirmation bias.

It's important that Facebook and other tech giants not be allowed to harm society in the coming decade. But an intense and emotional overreaction only makes that position seem less credible to the uninformed.
No, no one wants to force ZFS into the Linux kernel. I think anyone agrees that it needs to be out-of tree the way thinks are currently.

The problem is the nature of changes, and people questioning if there is any good _technical_ reason why some of the changes need to be the way they are done.
stop using lodash,
Yup. At Georgia Tech, they attached a massive Xerox 9700 series laser printer to one of the CDC Cyber 180s (it may have been more complicated connection). It was a few hundred square feet of floor space for the whole install, it could spit out vast amounts of paper, and was pretty finicky to keep running. But (most) everyone liked it better than the equally massive, vastly louder, band printers.

Yes, the often times proprietary android linux driver for are such a pain. Not only make they it harder to reuse the hardware outside of android (e.g. in a laptop or similar). But they also tend to cause delays with android updates and sometimes make it impossible to update a phone to a newer android version even if the phone producer wants to do so.

Android did start making this less of problem with HAL and stuff, but it's still a problem, just a less big one.
Do you have any pointers for some recent predictions you thought made sense?
> By the end of this decade, I expect more institutions will be run by millennials and more policies will be set to address these problems with longer term outlooks.

He "expects" this? This is trivially true in that it is an unavoidable result of the human lifecycle. 40 years from now, the boomers won't be in congress or in jobs -- they'll be dead. The only possible conclusion is that the millennials will replace them. I don't see why he felt the need to state that he "expects" this. Everyone who understands that humans die expects this.

> reconstruct all kinds of smaller communities to give us that sense of intimacy again.

This is how people use Facebook already. Most of my friends who "use" Facebook are really just in private groups and chat. Twitter is the go-to global platform -- it's one big bubble. Facebook is distinguishing itself as more of a private platform of isolated bubbles. This has already been happening for the past 10 years.

> Decentralizing Opportunity... If we can make it so anyone can sell products through a storefront on Instagram, message and support their customers through Messenger, or send money home to another country instantly and at low cost through WhatsApp -- that will go a long way towards creating more opportunity around the world

Decentralizing Opportunity? Maybe. Centralizing monetary transaction traffic to Facebook so they reap the equivalent of a VAT on every sale? Definitely.

This comes up surprisingly often in discussions of old texts. There are a bunch of related questions you might ask:

- These texts are all attributed to the same author. Were they all written by the same person?

- This text is attributed to a historical person. Did he write it?

- This text is attributed to a single person. Is it the work of a single person? Is it a compilation?

And so forth. It is not in general true that an ancient text has to have been written by someone, unless by "writing the text" you mean nothing more than that a single person copied or bound other sources into one more comprehensive document. (Even that isn't true; there's no conceptual problem with multiple scribes copying different pieces of a long text.)

All that said, I see no problem with using a convenient designation to refer to a hypothetical author. The opinion of other people varies; I have seen the argument made that the reason we don't consider medieval European philosophy to have accomplished anything is that medieval European philosophy texts are generally not attributed to a named author. I think this is ridiculous; if the texts were significant, they would have attributed authors, or conventionalized authors, because of their frequent use in society -- just as, in your example, the Gospel of Mark is attributed to an entity named "Mark" for no particular reason.
As long as you choose to live within a society, you're going to run into a lot of trouble if you try to just ignore everyone else and only structure your life around your own imagination (double so if your imagination has been bastardized by drugs).
I think the ultimate discovery of the next few years related to their AI research will be formal methods for the specification and design of ML systems/algorithms. There's some interesting work and unification of various fields towards this end, and I think the pieces of the puzzle will fit together very soon.

$5 on it being some monumental research in a PhD thesis, a la Otto Brune who did the same thing almost a century ago for passive filter networks.
