I think the thing which came surprisingly late in history wasn't having a concept of 'none' but rather of allowing it to be considered a number with the same status as 1, 2, 3 and the rest.

Indeed some of the ancient Greeks were of the opinion that 1 was not a number (since numbers were for counting a plurality of things).

It's quite the realisation that you can use the usual rules of arithmetic for 1 and 0, and not have anything go wrong. (Except of course division does go wrong!)
This technocratic vision of the future does not square away with human nature and reality.

Much more likely is a Butlerian Jihad to destroy automation and return us to a more pastoral way of life, even with advanced technology.

Only socially awkward engineers, business majors (most of whom are incredibly anti-social contrary to common perception), and finance types actually believe in this vision. Normal people are horrified, or will be once they actually experience what this entails.

Humans are not meant to lack meaningful work.
Currently looks like the attacker had legitimate access to the required keys, so perhaps more of a traditional compromise rather than a cryptocurrency/contract centric one.

It's been a while for me but I recall that a significant amount of the real estate already existed. I worked in a number of buildings in MTV, starting before the SGI retrofit. Most were old and had little done to them. There was new construction (mYbe the Zurich office, with Urs' apartment on top?) but way more remodeling. I know they built the housing near moffet but how much other real estate did they really do from the ground up? And how a big of a dent is that? (I'd eager there's some tax magic there too.)

My point is, G can afford the losses on selling some buildings and have unused capacity without hurting their stock price.
This could be done with iCloud today, given they already scan server side. Both cases require getting a user to save photos to an iCloud syncing location to trigger the scan.

Nobody has put down a convincing difference for this attack yet, but people sure do love repeating it.
Doesn't the company save a lot of money with remote workers? It seems like they could afford to pay _more_ to people who work remotely.

(This is a complaint about React, but...) I really find hooks/effects to be pretty magical. Keeping track of how many times a hook/effect runs is really difficult for me. It looks so simple at first, but there is a lot going under the hood to figure out how often they run.
Apple specifically says that it gives customer information and customer data when responding to data requests. Given that delineation, I'll trust Apple when they say they gave customer data away instead of just information like account name or creation date.
Not the point. The point is that people can then build db agnostic libs on top, so that several projects from different teams can use it despite using a different db.

E.G: you can use django, no matter if you are a mysql or a posgreq shop and still use the entire ecosystem of apps.
I tried CookieAutoDelete but it seems to be whitelist based only? How do I instead say block only these domains?
I think the concept that one can touch a screen and make something happen would be alien enough to throw people off (it might simply not occur to them to try), but I'm pretty sure there are at least examples of UI elements on touchscreen phones—though not entire systems—that would be fairly intuitive even to someone in the 1960s, let alone the 1980s.

Modern "slide (or swipe) screen to unlock" would throw them (what the fuck does it mean to "slide" or "swipe" the screen"?) but (to pick an example I used in another post) I bet an iOS6 "slide to unlock" would be very easy for them. What do you slide? The thing that looks like it slides. Easy. How do you do it? Exactly the way you'd guess you do. I may not know what it means to "unlock" in this context, but there's not much else to do, so trying it... ta da, something happened, and there's a bunch more stuff on the screen now.
I don't think that, the author states it. Their words - "busted". A reasonable person would not bring a dog to a property where it was already established that dogs are not welcome. What about "no pets" says you can bring a dog, but just for a small amount of time? It's a built-in rule to Airbnb - hosts choose between allowing pets or not. Guests are shown the rules before booking. A reasonable person would message the host first to ask for permission. I don't bring my dog over to a friends house without first asking for permission. You certainly can bring your dog, but you might not be welcome again.

Took the words right out of my mouth. As someone who has been adamant about using orm’s for the last 15 years, it shocks me to no end that an engineer (or group of engineers) think they can roll a DAO better than a battle hardened orm like SQLAlchemy, Hibernate, Entity Framework. It’s hubris in the least and straight arrogance at best.
Koko appeared much, much more in the media and pop sci publications than the actual scientific literature. There are also a number of researchers who questioned Koko in the literature, including people that tried to replicate with their own animals. There is really no way to make an argument from authority here, because Koko is a controversial topic among the "authorities".

The OP is right that Koko stumbled around a lot, even after the signs had supposedly been "mastered". This article presents one of the more bizarre results of that: https://slate.com/technology/2018/06/koko-the-ape-obituaries...

We probably are underrating animal intelligence, and whether Koko understood language is largely dependent on what one considers to qualify as "language" - there definitely were some impressive displays of intelligence at times. But through an unbiased lens I think it's also pretty clear the researchers were constantly making the most charitable possible interpretation of Koko's signs.

As far as the GP comment, it is well documented that zero as a mathematical concept was developed surprisingly late, while the concept of "nothing" existed prior to any formal notion of integers at all. The Quanta article is conflating "nothing" with "zero", although perhaps the original research makes the distinction more clear.
Spider Robinson's "Variable Star" is not hard sci-fi, but relativistic speeds and time dilation are relevant to the plot.
I had similar thoughts. It also depends what a house costs. It could easily be anywhere from $50k to $500k depending on the area and attributes.

Excellent point to clarify. It is the materials (and equipment) for the encapsulation process that are the limiting step. Those are provided by Croda in the UK (in the case of Pfizer/BioNTech) not by BioNTech in Mainz as implied. BioNTech has very sophisticated manufacturing and packaging equipment there for sure, just not the limiting step. Or to be still more clear many labs have the ability to manufacture small quantities for initial studies, but not the volumes necessary to scale to 100M/mo capacity.

> Data is generally far more valuable than application code and often times your database will far outlive your application code (and sometimes even your choice of programming language).

I agree with this. At my current company, we have stored procedures that are over 30 years old still running. The original application code was VB6, then VB.NET, and now there are C# NET5 services. There’s also all kinds of other document stores, but that old SQL DB isn’t going away any time soon.

I've learned vim. It was not worth it. I'm more productive with vscode and nano.

I know SQL, 99% of the time, an ORM is more productive, for the rest, I can still write SQL manually. It's not an XOR.
Curious -- any reason you didn't just go with a single machine export + expansion disk shelves on something like ZFS? Installing a MinIO gateway would also act as a bare drop-in for S3 too.

Asking since we're in the same position as yourself w/ high double-digit disks trying to figure out our plan moving forward. Right now we're just using a very large beefy node w/ shelves. ZFS (via TrueNAS) does give us pretty good guarantees on failed disks + automated notifications when stuff goes wrong.

Obviously a single system won't scale past a few hundred disks so we are looking at alternatives including Ceph, GlusterFS, and BeeGFS. From the outside looking in, Ceph seems like it might be more complexity than it's worth until you hit the 10s of PB range with completely standardized hardware?

Updated original comment.
Since we are piling anecdotes, I had an opposite experience -- I came to US after i had 9 grades of Soviet education in a middle-of-the-run school in a large city in southern Ukraine.

The mathematical and sciences background instilled in me in those 9 grades of Soviet school has allowed me to pretty much sail through High School(grades 10 through 12) and almost entire first year of college(as a CompSci Major at a University of California campus) without having to flex my math and science muscles.

Because people generally cannot work anymore at a certain age, and most western countries do not think it is acceptable to let elderly people starve, even if they could have taken decisions to prevent that.

Because you cannot expect all of the population to individually make wise financial decisions spanning multiple decades well past the years they can even generate income if they wanted. A lot of people already have problems budgeting for next month.

Because spreading out the "risk" of living much longer than you anticipated prevents destitute 95 year olds.
Is anybody using Deno at work?

I feel like there was this rush of excitement when it first came out, and that's mellowed to a steady stream of updates and some sustained low-medium interest. It seems like everybody's following it from the sidelines, waiting to see what happens. That's my situation at least.

I'd love a world where I can write everything in TypeScript with minimal building hassle, but I'm curious to what degree that's panning out in industry.
> The EU did the right thing ethically and let vaccines be exported to their allies.

no, it thought it had control over the situation and started virtue signalling that it was being ethical and that vaccine nationalism was only the sort of thing the Trump administration would do

I feel like generating my own "S3 signed URLs" from Minio (as a node script) is a much better way to layer security than that IAM mess.

And, the mc command line client is awesome.

And, it all runs inside dokku which is incredible.
Impressive. Especially being able to tackle any public API such as MS Word. GDB's point about Codex as an instrument itself for interacting with machines directly means that program synthesis isn't really the endgame. Codex + an API for the web is a virtual assistant.

> ...Simple, unobtrusive, and continuously improving without many sudden changes that force one to relearn how to use it.

In all those past decades of Desktop Env evolution, one thing I learned to appreciate is no need to be aware of the actual kind of Environment. Ideal DE should just be transparent to user, just as the underlying OS.

We interact with tools, the environment just lets us find them and helps us organize our stuff.

I get aware of the DE when it somehow gets in my way. For example, I remember from Ubuntu 18 in Gnome Terminal context menu two entries shared the same hot-key (_Preferences and _Paste in this order). Or in File manager, there was no direct way to enter full path. Or in Save As dialog the file name would loose its highlight after switching back from selecting the destination folder.

Sure, other DEs have their share of annoyance, but generally I think that transparency will be upon us... soon.
How does that strengthen his point? Koko stumbled around frequently, well after the learning period was advertised as done. Kids stumble around less than was claimed, as you mention.

Never heard of Cookie AutoDelete, many thanks from me as well.

What I really want is for all cookies to be deleted when the browser exits, except for the sites assigned to the containers I've created.

I'll have to see if this is possible in Cookie AutoDelete -- looks like it might be. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I once watched several seagulls peck at a closed clamshell container containing pizza crusts for over half an hour. Clearly there is an upper bound to their intelligence.
Yes, I can see uses for this. Forty-two is obviously not something you'd actually want, but I can see needing numbers in the range 0-100 and being frustrated that since I need 0 I can't carve out a niche even though I don't mind losing 101 through 255 from a u8 instead of making my type wider.

Still the existing tricks get a lot done for relatively little work. I have used Option<NonZeroUsize> to do roughly what I'd use a single integer for in C, but making explicit that zero isn't just zero, but "I dunno, invalid". Would I have done that even if it cost more space? Probably, but it was cool that I didn't even need to consider that, "Zero cost abstraction".
It’s entirely possible for people who call themselves Catholic to have beliefs that are not in accordance with official dogma. And Catholic dogma is not a static thing, either, though some pretend it is.
And, if you do get a heart attack, which happened to my very fit professor when he died right before finals, you might not have the specialists available immediately for care because they are crunched for time dealing with a health crisis (obesity has made COVID much worse for example).

Devil's Advocate: If the consensus holds that staying internal is that much better than switching jobs, to the point that it makes no sense to take the risk, then you, being known to your employer to be interested in making a move, are now vulnerable to exploitation by your employer.

Figuratively, The Move has become a dangling carrot that they know you will follow thru happily just for a bite.

Not saying this will 100% (or any% really) happen --- elusive as they seem, decent middle-upper management do exist --- even then, you would be in no position to refuse tasks that would only serve to distract you from your goals. Also, your employer's time frame in mind for you might be e.g. 5+ years, and they may or may not communicate this expectation honestly to you.

Having both 1st/2nd-hand experiences of dangling-carrot-equivalent events, I must say that it's very important to be comfortable figuring out what is the actual expectation from the above, and have actionable plans. It is awkward, but at the end of the day you have to know better to avoid getting distracted.
> Though pay is important, money alone isn't the solution. Some very well-paid people are among the most disengaged, and disengaged white-collar workers are slightly more likely than others to be looking for a job.

Two things here:

- Well-paid could still be under the market (happens a lot in software)

- If you're well-off it's easier to not depend on your job

If it's mostly the first problem, paying more will solve your problem.
> FISA - Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. It's for foreigners.

FISA can spy on Americans, and does spy on Americans[1]. Not only that, PRISM and other domestic surveillance programs are based on the Protect America Act of 2007 and the FISA Amendments Act of 2008[2].

If you can actually cure some cancers, it will probably be a net positive economically.

For example, in medical circles in my home country, smoking-related cancer prevention campaigns are widely believed to pay for themselves easily, despite low efficacy. (Sorry, I have no citation for that, but it is what is taught to students in medical school.)

In countries where the social safety net fully pays for such health issues (this includes Germany), the cost of cancer patients is itself a tremendous strain on the system.

Additionally, the decision for social security to reimburse (i.e. cover) such drugs typically involves long term economic impact computations. Access to such treatment is almost surely a win for everyone.
Ask HN: How do I reliably prevent autoplay in Firefox 91?
I would like no video or audio to play unless I click on it. After this morning's upgrade to version 91, I am back to videos on Twitter (and possibly elsewhere) starting to auto-play just by scrolling into view. In my preferences, I have "Block Audio and Video" for all sites with no exceptions. In my Twitter profile, I have "Autoplay" set to "Never", but, I also look at threads without logging in.

Do you know what I need to do to be able to look at a Twitter thread while not logged in without triggering autoplay? Unfortunately, I do not remember what I had done previously which made it so that I almost never encountered autoplaying media on any site.
Totally agree with you about templates.

Definitely see what you're saying about the Superhuman-like interface. We're still iterating there. We need to enable pro-level usage without hindering accessibility to casual users. We're continuing to simplify simplify simplify :)

We are currently testing an integration using the Loom SDK.

Will definitely take you up on the user interview. Thanks!
And what is the actual value to Germany, or to German citizens, that one company makes so much money? Maybe all of the 1323 employees get a bonus? Wow, that will make for some great trickle-down effect there...

If anything, the value of this is going to be negative: Germany will have to pay more to things like the EU, NATO, and 3rd-world aid, all of which are defined as a fixed percentage of GDP.

Reason to Stay on Freenode?
I just created an account on IRC.com, and joined Freenode. Server tells there's current local users 1040 (max 2091), and current global users 9251 (max 22832). 15001 channels formed.

What's your excuse to stay on Freenode?
> Not trying to be mean, but the poor english in your post, immediately turned me off.

What a terrible comment. It's people like you who discourage people from sharing and undermine the confidence of non English speakers on their journey to becoming better. Also prefacing anything with "not trying to be mean" usually means that's exactly what you are trying to do. Looking at their site, clearly English speakers aren't even their target customers, so his English really isn't even an issue. I'd also like to point out your sentence has poor grammar. "dangling phrase". Look it up. Immediately turned me off.

Not trying to be mean, but I hope you stop commenting on posts.
I don't bet on it happening in our lifetimes. Everyone alive now knows only the current suburban model, and people really don't like change with regards to zoning policy. Especially in Southern suburbs.

Okay, then intercept them with an analog loophole.

Keep one cheap phone mounted with a camera and robot arm poker, build the API on that, then get an additional SIM for your normal actually mobile use. Or eschew the camera by using LineageOS (which can ignore anti-screenshot measures) and screenshot over ADB.

If you're in the US, it costs only $20/mo for an basic level Google Fi SIM (T-mo + Sprint network) or $25/mo for a Visible SIM (Verizon network), and they will be seen as an actually mobile number by the network. I imagine there are similarly cheap deals in most other countries as well.
More often than not, you aren't porting. You are making the system work with more than one kind of database. When my first company was acquired and was built on PostgreSQL (which was designed to be hosted) the acquirer wanted an on-premise version that also supported Oracle. Using an ORM made that a relatively simple process with only a few annoying differences between the two databases. Specifically, treatment of strings (oracle empty string is a null string), booleans (no boolean type in oracle) and DDL (oracle doesn't have transactional DDL).
I like NixOS, but I think the redundancy in the /nix/store could possibly take up a lot of space on a system with as little storage as the 64GB Steam Decks. Plus the tooling has a weird interface.
It’s not a false statement.

Encrypted or not, Google will give the backups to the government, along with any keys they have.

I agree that there would be more protection against the government if the backups were encrypted, and I hope this is still Apple’s plan.

Google on the other hand, has been scanning photos for CSAM all along, and collects a massive trove of behavioral data from android and every one of their other properties including search history, all of which are also available to the government.
Userland doesn't have any semblance of I/O. WASI doesn't support arbitrary syscalls, so running containers would not work in WASM.... I'm not seeing your solution to this. Docker and would-be-WASM-docker would have very, very different scopes and thus would not be comparable.
