English has had a lot of good or at least interesting evolutionary reasons to drop most grammatical cases and grammatical genders. English decided to make some interesting trade-offs in expected word order to lower redundancy in inter-word agreement morphology.

Also, while Proto-Indo-European had plenty of grammatical cases, the current theories are that it had fewer grammatical genders than modern languages. The PIE grammatical genders are generally attributed as "animate" and "neuter" and there's a lot of interesting debate on exactly where and when (and why) what today are called "masculine" and "feminine" split from animate (and how much they were "masculine" and "feminine" to PIE is also an interesting debate). That split might have been very late indeed, which seems reflected in the evidence of how few Indo-European languages agree on grammatical genders beyond people and a very small list of animals. (Also, late enough that for instance Farsi might not have "lost" much at all, simply missed out on some of the late splits and evolved around them.) Grammatical gender especially has stopped being seen as a key common trait in IE languages given what linguists have seemed to reconstruct of PIE.

> No wonder even German looks somehow distant from English

A lot of that is inter-tribal politics more than just the syntactic shifts English experienced versus "trunk Indo-European". Modern German sometimes referred to as "High German" intentionally dominated in such a way as to push out all of its "Low German" rivals from the core of Germany which included the Anglo-Saxon tribes. At a raw level English is closer on the family tree to other "Low German" languages such as modern-day Dutch, but modern-day Dutch has its own cultural supremacy battles in its territories and mostly driven its rivals to extinction, several of which themselves were closer to English on the family tree. The closest living relatives of Anglo-Saxon German are the Frisian languages [1] most of which have been classified as endangered or nearly extinct due to cultural domination fights with Dutch (including events relatively similar to the Norman conquest in terms of massive linguistic after-shocks, just between Dutch and Frisian tribes). Modern English is like four tree-branches away from Modern German, even before taking into account the Norman invasion influenced language changes and slowly differently evolved syntax. So it shouldn't be a surprise English looks distant to German because it was always distant to German.

I'm a Google Fi customer and experienced a very disconcerting fraud attack a year or 2 ago. I made an outbound call to the support number for my bank (I triple-checked that it was the correct number for the bank's support line). My call was routed to fraudsters impersonating my bank's support and I gave them all of my debit card information through what I initially thought was an authentication process. The 1) strange call quality, 2) that they asked for all of my card details and 3) the lack of an automated menu tipped me off and I realized pretty much immediately after the call was over that I had been scammed. I called the exact same support line a second time and got the actual customer service for my bank, at which point I promptly canceled my debit card (but not before the fraudsters performed what appeared to be a test charge of my card for $5 to a random merchant name in Connecticut).

I had no idea this kind of attack was possible and I don't know how it works or whether it was related to the T-Mobile breach. Had the hackers attempted an account takeover using the information they collected from me they could conceivably have stolen all of my savings.
> so you're entirely left adrift

so you're *not* entirely left adrift
There are aspects of modern life that make it harder to make and keep friends as an adult but the biggest genuinely life changing lesson I learned is that every adult wants friends but struggles to make them. And you know what that dynamic means? You can walk up to a random adult and literally say and I quote "you seem cool, wanna be friends?" like you're on a schoolyard playground and it works.

I accidentally texted a coworker (who I have never hung out with socially) who has the same name as one of my friends if she wanted to go to a music festival with me (like 5 days close quarters camping) and she said yes without hesitation. I met another girl at a party -- I knew of her because she was a friend's friend's ex but never actually talked to her. I just declared that we were best friends, we got drunk, and skipped out at the party to hang out/meet her other friends. She's my maid of honor. Met a guy during a charity scavenger hunt where the theme was to do mildly embarrassing things in public we hit it off after I had him take a picture of me licking a bronze statue's butt. I'm now in his softball league. I met a woman on a cruise after rescuing her son from the on-deck ropes course when a huge storm hit, we live super far away but play animal crossing together.

I went from "oh no without school it's gonna be impossible to make friends" to "no actually this is a million times easier." All the stuff that makes you uncool as a teenager makes you interesting as an adult.
We solve this problem by storing an identifier of encryption key itself along with each encrypted record. The key is loaded on demand assuming the viewer has access.

The encryption key identifier is essentially a timestamp of when the key was generated. We have a process that periodically re-encrypts all data encrypted with the old keys and then purges them. This effectively removes the secrets from our backups because after long enough there is no key to decrypt the data.

This is an acceptable trade off for our use case as the sensitive data is generally not required to be kept very long.
Sometimes I noticed is that if I spend too long alone, and I can walk in nature, it fills a kind of social need. Nature is lively. By the time you finished exploring the surrounding you're ready to enjoy your cave again.
As others have noted, states typically have you on the title and the bank just has a lien, so I’m not sure that would even be technically accurate. And even if accurate, your tone is too lackadaisical and overclever for this kind of interaction. You could have said, “in the lay sense, yes, though the bank is the owner of record.”
It must be sad to realize that people don’t want to communicate with you all that much. ;)

Compare the costs of housing, healthcare, and higher education itself with how it was 20+ years ago. You can argue the current economy is healthy (but then why did that previous post cite inflation being up as a good thing?) but that has nothing to do with cost of living's affordability.
It's more of an issue that people have to interact with vendors outside their direct ecosystem, who maintain different email systems. I can have all the PKI infrastructure I want, if my contracting officer has to coordinate payment of a $10M or $100M deliverable with a foreign company with different laws around encryption, I may have no choice but to send some things unencrypted until we can mutually agree on certain processes.
Some years back I got burned repeatedly by people chasing the "yarn is fast and is the future! NPM is dead!" trend. At one point it was a running joke that one of our projects hadn't really started until we hit a bug or missing feature in Yarn the easiest fix for which was "run 'npm install' and stop using Yarn". This is well after the entire Internet had decided Yarn was a perfect drop-in replacement and declared NPM obsolete.

I'd be more interested in how many packages break on each one—at install, or when you try to actually use the package—than speed. Maybe that's zero for all contenders now, but it wasn't for Yarn back then. Doesn't take many hours lost to fighting your package manager before any time-savings from execution speed have been erased.

Can you only send encrypted messages to recipients who also use Google? If it isn't S/MIME then as far as I'm concerned it almost isn't email. Anyone can already make encrypted ZIP files or other proprietary encrypted attachments and send them via email. If it's not S/MIME, it feels like just a convenience layer on top of that.

One of the miseries of life is that everyone names everything a litte bit wrong, and so it makes everything a little harder to understand in the world than it would be if it were named differently. A computer does not primarily compute in the sense of doing arithmetic. Strange. Although they call them computers, that's not what they primarily do. They primarily are filing systems. People in the computer business say they're not really computers, they are "data handlers". All right. That's nice. Data handlers would have been a better name because it gives a better idea of the idea of a filing system.

That is one of the things the "why not settle antarctica" folks don't get. Anarctica-the-land is under MILES of ice. Water is ice to have... but it's not useful for making things. Not that I know what martial regolith or mineral mining (low-G ... should be easier?) entails.

Google says regolith is silicon dioxide, ferric oxide, aluminum oxide calcium oxide, sulfur oxide, and there is perchlorates (toxic) as well. That sounds like a lot more usable elements than ice.

Also, I can't imagine a mars colony of some size wouldn't involve mining of phobos and deimos. Low-gravity, lots of solar power without mars's dust and atmosphere to power things. Just drop things to the surface once processed.
This is an interesting development.

We've always known that sim swap attacks weren't hard. But I've largely understood them to be not scalable. You can sim swap almost anybody by calling Verizon on the phone. But you needed to call them. This, in my mind, largely meant that the risk of sim swap for most people was pretty low - certainly far lower than the risk of phishing.

With this method, it scales. Pwn one person who has relevant system access and then you can sim swap as many people as you want. Now there really is a meaningful difference in security posture between sms and otp.
My guess is you live in the West. There are other cultures in the world, where there is still a strong sense of informal community. Where you can just walk to a friend or a relative's house unannounced for a cup of tea, without thinking all the time if it would inconvenience them. It feels really amazing to have the option to do that.

I moved to the US (Bay Area) about 10 years ago after having spent much of my youth elsewhere, and to this day, I haven't been able adjust to the lack of informal social interactions compared to where I'm from. I really tried as well to see if it's me who is not able to fit in. However, after a while I realized it's just a cultural difference. It's a way of life that has existed for several decades, which has its own benefits.

To me, US seems like an amazing place when you're in the apprentice/work phase of your life (20 - 45?). However, as I grow older, there are other things I have begun to value more, and one of the top ones is authentic human connection. I hope as US becomes more and more diverse, people from other cultures can add the good things they bring, instead of just trying to fit in to the default cultural model.

tbh, and this might seem like a minor detail, but I would point out that the new user flow to get started and try out models on pyq is very different from Eden AI. With Eden, I had to go through an entire sign-up flow and questionnaire, but with pyq I just go directly to one of the model pages like https://www.pyqai.com/zoo/models/14 and can try things out immediately.

We're all still discovering use cases for these really popular models, so as a potential user the attention to detail on the discovery and try-out experience matters a lot to me.

It's also just plain fun!
“Deep enough” would be true of any mobile carrier, to date all of these attacks are SIM swapping, with social engineering/phishing being the attack vector. Not particularly deep.

Attackers would have to social engineer the MVNO directly, which is certainly easier if they have data they’ve stolen from t-mobile first, but this isn’t a “they’ll get in no matter what because they’ve pwned T-Mobile so bad” scenario.
Event Sourcing is a nice card to have in your hand, but it should not be a goal in itself. A yard is 3 feet. The atomic mass of Hydrogen is 1.008 and its symbol is "H". These will never change. If someone came to me and said "your 'Chemical' table is not event-sourced. We're doing event-sourcing here. You need to change it." I would tell them to get lost. Why the hell would you have an event for "An Element's Mass was Modified" event stored in your database? Unless you're developing for CERN or NREL or something, just don't.

On the other hand, having a bank account table with a single field for someone's money is clearly not enough. You absolutely should be tracking every transaction that has changed that account's value. Do you need to track every other possible change to that account? Like, whether they want paper or electronic mail? No, probably not.

"Event sourcing" is a way to refactor a domain model -- take a statement and break it into a sequence of statements that "add up" to the original statement.

"Add up" is key here. When you break "AccountBalance" into "Transaction", it's clear how to "add up" transactions to recreate the original account balance. But that's not your goal, necessarily! The reason why this tends to make better domain models is exactly because you have to think about "adding up" your domain models, and what that means. "Adding up" is an associative, probably-commutative, binary operation with identity. Note that that means your domain MUST have a "zero transaction". ALL of your events that you event source need a "zero event". If you cannot come up with the "zero" of an event, then you should not be breaking into events! The whole point is to be able to define the monoid over it, which requires identity.

So instead of taking event sourcing as an end goal, make your goal this: think about the operations that make sense on your domain, like accumulating accounts. What else can you accumulate? Can you add Employees together? Not really -- you can group them, into departments and events and meetings. Is that grouping associative and commutative? Sure -- it's just Set Union. Is there anything about Employees you can add together? Well, their salaries. In fact for data analysis, employee salaries are an important cost that you probably want to throw in a data cube. Define a Monoid over Employee salaries.

What other operations make sense on your data? Close, open, start, end, group, buy, sell, move, rotate, add, multiply, concatenate, join, reverse, inverse, combine, merge, undo, redo, fill, empty, saturate, fix, break, import, export, report, validate. Are they associative, commutative, distributive, invertible? Do they have identity? Event sourcing is such a tiny part of exploring this world. And it's worth exploring.

Actually, I think male bias is a problem in other academic fields. For example, we spent a long time thinking girls rarely have ADHD or Autism, and didn't even test drugs on women in case they might be pregnant. It's important to take a critical and objective look on why a women's studies would exist historically, in a setting where academics may not consider women worth studying.

[To be clear: I'm not saying that women's studies is some kind of objectively valid hard-proof field of study or whatever. I do think however it is true that historically women have been excluded in academic study populations, which might explain why there may have been a legitimate desire to have a field of study for that underserved population.]

Realme’s ridiculous 240W fast-charging phone is getting an international release
Todoist was too much of its own ecosystem. (I use reminders for mobile task generation because Im comfortable in Apple’s ecosystem.) I wasn’t willing to learn the Todoist ecosystem with the risk of them changing it on a whim. (I’m also elisp-savvy so I can hack org mode to do exactly what I want, but that’s not the real issue/selling point.)

It’s mostly not wanting to learn Todoist. I’d rather learn org mode knowing it’s mature. It drives me nuts when corps change the tools I use. Don’t fix it if it ain’t broke, you know? The risk of having a workflow-breaking change at an annoying time stresses me too much. Org mode changes at a much slower pace, and it’s much easier to use an older version of org while I adapt to the changes.

There’s definitely nothing I do in org that can’t be done in Todoist. So theoretically Todoist would actually be better right now because of the mobile integration. I really like knowing that there’s a lot of room to grow with org mode, though. The workflow I aspire to is much more possible with org mode in the long run.

Is the customer not paying for the cell phone plan? Nothing is “no cost” in this situation. The cost is just shifted to the consumer from the company in the form of requiring a phone number.

Or, if T-Mobile and others did a good job in security for their networks and in turn their customers communications maybe they wouldn’t have this issue.
