We have recently launched our new product REPODS (https://repods.io) and would like to hear your feedback! REPODS is an online data warehouse service for managing and analyzing data histories in data pods. Data can be imported via various interfaces, which facilitate the integration of all data (ERP, CRM, etc.). IoT devices can also stream data directly to a data pod for cross-analysis with all other data warehouse data.

Data Pods are compact data warehouses equipped with storage and computing resources and all necessary tools. Each pod runs on its own infrastructure for maximum security and stable performance. The infrastructure can be flexibly scaled within a few seconds. REPODS is the ideal solution for small or medium-sized companies, as well as departments of large companies that are looking for a modern and lightweight industry 4.0 data warehouse solution.

Already starting from 0€ monthly you can create your own Pod. Both flat rates with pre-defined resources and a freely configurable pay-per-use model are offered.
Evolution is a slow process. Plus humans are complex, so the small changes might be relatively invisible
I think it probably went like this: a new feature (hard shells) was discovered by evolution, which gave so much advantage that all sorts of varieties could coexist for a while (even sub-optimal ones, as they still had the advantage over old organisms). Eventually, some winners among the organisms emerge, the advantage disappears and the sub-optimal variations begin to die out.

I like to compare it to the evolution of computer games. When they became viable first (home computer revolution), an incredible amount of games was developed. Eventually doom arrived on the scene and every game became a 1st person shooter. (Simplified story, of course). Or the dot com boom maybe - for a while, money was thrown at everything internet related. After a while some winning concepts emerged, and most of the contenders went away again.
We've used sidecar crib* for both our children. (first 8 months for the first child, and then 1.5 years for the second- /our first child was a better sleeper/).

And we've found it to be a very good compromise. Both children have slept mostly in their crib, but occasionally if they needed, could spend some time between us. My wife liked that she did not have to wake up for breastfeeding...

That’s an odd gripe. It was philosophers who first used logical form going all the way back to Aristotle.

Also, equations are not only reason symbols/letters are used in math and science. When speaking of logic, their usage is built on philosophical foundations. Math also didn’t always use symbols as it does today. Symbolic math took root sometime in the 14th century.

FSEvents is largely just a support infrastructure for Time Machine. Time Machine doesn't need to know about every single change, it just wants to be able to avoid having to scan the entire disk every time it goes to make a backup. This can be generalized to other backup utilities as well, or really any utility that periodically needs to check the state of the disk against some snapshot of that state. Under these conditions, "something changed in directory /foo/bar/baz" is sufficient because the directory itself can then be scanned.

In Carlo Rovelli's, Reality is Not What it Seems [0], he speaks of this final point in its short, final chapter.

He starts by using an example from Plato's, Phaedo, where Plato acknowledges the limits of the knowledge of his time – in relation to Socrates being unsure about his "belief" in the Earth being a sphere.

Rovelli says:

"This acute awareness of our ignorance is the heart of scientific thinking. It is thanks to this awareness of the limits of our knowledge that we have learned so much. We are not certain of all which we suspect, just as Socrates was not sure of the spherical nature of the Earth. We are exploring at the borders of our knowledge."

As was Newton, Maxwell, Einstein, amongst others.

Rovelli goes on:

"Science is not reliable because it provides certainty. It is reliable because it provides us with the best answers we have at present. ... They are the best we have because we don’t consider them to be definitive, but see them as open to improvement. It’s the awareness of our ignorance that gives science its reliability."

Science is never settled. Rovelli's book is about Loop Quantum Gravity; as unsettled a field of research in science _today_.

> "Any women who kept an infant less than 1 year old in her bed ... is ipso facto excommunicated," the church declared in Milan in 1576.

I can find no source confirming this. Ipso facto means "automatically", so this can't be done by a bishop, but only declared as canonical law by either a Council or a pope. No trace of a Council in Milan in 1576 - the previous one was in Trent. So this would have to be Gregory XIII visiting Milan for some reason. I'm curious to find out who really did it and why. And whether it was actually the church (i.e. the pope/council) or just a local bishop.

One of the advantages of peer review is using the natural human tendency to be “pig-headed, obstinate, arrogant, self-righteous” to poke each other’s work for flaws we cannot find in our own work.
All lists of this type are not “do this and you’ll succeed” but rather “don’t do these and you’ll increase your likelihood of failure.” Just like looking before you cross the street won’t ensure you survive, but not looking will make it quite likely you won’t.
The timespan of a generation in humans is about 20 years. So in 5000-10000 years that's 250-500 generations, a tiny amount.

For evolution to happen, a genetic mutation has to endow an advantage that makes its carrier more likely to survive and reproduce. Given that the reproductive selection process (which characteristics are attractive to a mate) is largely driven by cultural norms now, it's hard to see what advantages are going to raise a person's chances of reproducing. Fashion tastes change several times in a single generation.

Women are often said to like taller men. Well we are getting taller as a species [1]. If men prefer a woman with a certain 'look', maybe women are evolving towards that look (it seems like a much harder thing to quantify). Manipulative, cheating males have more sexual partners - maybe we're evolving towards more of that kind of behaviour.

If you're expecting humans to grow extra arms or become super-strong or something, I don't think it's going to happen. Extra limbs is too 'abnormal' and culture doesn't like that. Being physically strong doesn't affect chances of survival in humans any more. Same applies to better vision, hearing... any super-senses. They don't affect our survival. I've heard people posit that maybe we'll lose our little fingers as they don't do anything. Same again though - even if it's true that we don't use them, it doesn't mean that someone born without little fingers is going to have a higher chance of reproducing.

Our development happens at a rate much faster than biological evolution now because of culture (meme vs gene). A lot of what constitutes a modern human is external (as a thought experiment just imagine what a human would be like if he'd never spoken to another human, read anything, or absorbed any culture in any other way). From this point of view, cultural evolution could be seen as evolution v2.0 as it happens and spreads much more quickly that genetic evolution.

That looks great, cheers! :)
GDPR is quite unclear about..well...almost everything. But, for example, this guy wants to read his own messages, which is a rather popular use of Facebook. If they wanted to comply with GDPR, they could easily present him a dialog asking solely for permission to process the data necessary to show him his messages. Instead, they are asking for his consent to their entire new privacy policy. That policy includes permissions for functions that are not absolutely necessary to do what this user wants to do, such as ad targeting.

This kind of thing is exactly what I have been saying would happen with GDPR. Large companies will say “take all of it or leave it” - and for the most part they’ll get away with it. They have the power to do this, and very little will change for them. The difference is that they are now able to run without fear of startup competitors ever closing in on them, because no startup can get away with this same thing.

The natural effect of GDPR will be to consolidate power and data in the hands of the few companies that can both afford to comply and wield enough power in users’ lives to strong-arm them into giving consent to anything the company wants to do.

He uses the very same evidence of the existence of the explosion and the absence of evidence to explain the explosion part of the evidence as reason to believe that "it is God". I usually end the dinner conversation when I keep asking "how?". On some very rare but weaker moments he might trip and admit "I don't know". At which point I end it by saying, that's a very scientific thing to say. :-)

Well, sort-of, and still. If you use the web, you are constantly being tracked by Google as people mindlessly put GA code on all their websites. As for e-mail, it's more and more difficult to set up an e-mail server these days because of anti-spam measures, and Google/MS are dictating the terms here - but MS has a much more relaxed policy. Each time I set up a new mail server, I have to go through the same set of rituals, only to discover Google came up with another requirement and will not deliver my mail if I don't do it.

I believe the only thing that can be said with certainty about Rust when compared to C++ is that it's safer.

Simplicity in the sense of easy to understand is an adjective I would apply to languages such as golang, Swift or even Java. C++ and Rust are complicated languages, because they allow low-level control of the implementation and they insist on the programmer thinking deeply about resource management.

Elegance is likewise a property I would not associate with Rust: resource management is clumsy and leaks into the syntax everywhere, it ends up defining how the language looks like.
The interesting question is if human changes are liable to speciate or not.

That makes Prolog look downright useful! I heard from lots of people that it's fun as an esoteric language and some had a homework assignment or two in it, but nobody really uses it in practice.

I learned the very basics, but not worked with it enough myself to say whether that would be better than keeping it as a stand-alone language.
If you are using Linux-based virtualization (KVM), besides requiring updated kernel and Intel microcode (which is not yet available), you would also need updates for relevant layers: QEMU and libvirt. Patches are posted[1][2].

Virtual Machines now need to be exposed a new Intel CPU feature flag: 'ssbd' (Speculative Store Bypass Disable).

On microcode, from Red Hat's blog post[3]:

In many (but not all) cases, full mitigation will also require updated microcode from the system microprocessor vendor. Red Hat intends to ship updated microcode as a convenience to our customers as it is made available to us. In the interim, customers are strongly advised to contact their OEM, ODM, or system manufacturer to receive this via a system BIOS update.

We looked into this quite a bit when our child was born because we grew very skeptical of much of the guidelines we were reading. Sleep in particular was difficult for our child for various reasons and at some point we realized that following certain guidelines resulted in more risk than violating them (e.g., it became an issue of following guidelines and neither us or our child sleeping or violating guidelines prudently and getting sleep).

We did not cosleep with our child. But in the process of reviewing many sleep guidelines we reviewed the literature and found it's more complicated than it seems. The NPR article doesn't summarize the complexity as well as it could.

The problem is that studies of risk of cosleeping generally do not control for confounding variables very well at all, and when you do control for these confounds, the risk of cosleeping disappear.

For example, in the US many cosleeping parents tend to be minority, immigrant, lower SES, etc. which is associated with other risk factors. When you control for those trends, cosleeping isn't associated with increased risk.

This has lead to many sleep scientists to conclude that cosleeping research has largely been sociodemographically (e.g., ethnically) biased in design and analysis. There's a big rift between sleep scientists and pediatrics in this regard.

The NPR piece proceeds along the lines of "humans have been doing this for 200000 years so it must be fine" but it's more like "people who can afford separate beds for their children tend to have a lot of money, globally speaking, and that's associated with decreased risk of infant death for a multitude of reasons having nothing to do with cosleeping."

Last year, I started writing my own E-Commerce solution after being frustrated with Shopify [1], I obviously referred to some well established projects to design on top of. The first one was WooCommerce (PHP) and the second one was Magento. After digging up a little bit [1], I was convinced that the way these solutions made money was through complexity. The more complex the solution is, the more customization that's involved.

Believe me, when I tell you that your own E-Commerce solution built on top of rails/node/phoenix/etc. will be much better than these open source OTS solutions that have several hidden gotchas. IF at all I'd recommend something, it'd be Spree.

By evolution, we assume you mean "turn into another species". If so ...

But then neither has the mosquito "evolved", or the shark. At a genetic level changes are continuous in every organism and genetic changes can even happen as rapidly as from one generation to next. We may not see the molecular changes translate to the phenotype level but the changes are there. (See topic of epigenetics)

Actually, you can see changes at phenotype level too (e.g body morphology of offspring affected by the diet of parents).
