They've been planning this for years now. More like the Python Sleeping Council, am I right?

You'll cowards don't even smoke moon dust

This is a step back into the days of CP/M, where directories didn't exist and the only way to associate file A with file B was to either have them on a distinct volume (typically a floppy disk), or naming them in a consistent way -- e.g. having the same 8-letter front part and then .DOC for a read-me, .COM for the main program, .$$$ for the temporary swap file of that program, and so on. In this way CP/M pushed directory management into volume management, causing overhead in terms of floppy disk swaps taking time and space wasted on floppies needed onlly for their namespace. I would guess that this "indexed object storage" blog entry would propose using ZIP files or the like as a form of grouping, thereby moving directory management into every program that should be capable of accessing proper data within said files.

So that's a half-baked idea, ignorant of both the future and the past.

Call it version 1. It still has major advantages in the storage and transport chain and in the amount of disposable equipment per dose, vs. something that'd require 2 billion individually packaged disposable syringes for giving every Indian a jab of the high-tech mRNA vaccine.

> Giving credit to the poor does little good for anyone.

There are cases where credit fucks a poor person up further less than not having even credit, such as medical expenses or getting jerked over by an insurance company.

More correctly it'd be "silverlit".

Which are those? GeoIP is rather coarse these days, much moreso than tower data.

My phone has had explicit per-applet permissions for access to location data; if permission is not given then the application receives bogus data so that it cannot force an user's hand. This has been the case for years now. Are carrier ROMs permitting location data access to all programs or something? Because that's crazy.

No it doesn't. See the "unlawful" qualification up there? Obviously that which is ordered by the Kremlin is lawful.

"Researchers from (...) developed a program that _might_ predict how the symptoms (...)"

To wit, I can write a program that "could" predict the outcome of a coin toss.

Back to Tinder and Okcupid with the compensation-seeking people and their counterparts, is what Google is doing. Nice going there moralfags.

I asked the guy on Leddit when we could expect to see his glorious new alternative. His reply was that it was too much work for him to embark by himself. Conveniently preserving the platonic perfection of his abstraction.

So I guess we're back to either masturbating to a hypothetical application of the all-knowing bytecode query compiler, or using SQL and getting shit done.

Cultist freaks always go for the children, because children are less likely to call bullshit. Shitcoiners are no different.
