This does not align very well with history. PHP started as Rasmus Lerdorf toy, That didn't prevent it to grow and support some of the biggest platforms on the web. Python was also a one-man band for a while before it gained traction.

I'm a bit confused by your response. Are you arguing for or against regular MRI scans? I think your example clearly shows why regular scans are very important.

My proposal is that a healthy person will go to get regular MRI scans, and you would compare any new lumps against a baseline scan. For your very first scan, you statistically don't have anything to worry about, since everyone has a few benign lumps or spots. Obviously if they find a massive tumour on your kidney or a lump near your lymphatic system, then they're going to take it very seriously.

However, if something is just "suspicious", then perhaps you would come back in a few weeks or months for another scan, instead of one year. Machine learning could inform the period of time between scans. (Or just a trained radiologist who knows how to determine the risk.)

I'm not a trained doctor or radiologist, so in that sense, I don't have any clue what I'm talking about. I just enjoy discussing ideas and trying to figure out why my ideas wouldn't work, so unfortunately I haven't found your comment to be very helpful. I think we might even be arguing about different things.
A $100M Crypto Fund Opens with the Promise of Going Long
Let me give you some hearsay then from working in both megacorps and hosting.

Running a public cloud requires a massive amount of people, unlike what you seem to think. It takes one or two orders of magnitude more work to do anything public rather than internal. Bet there is no resource and no budget to keep running their public cloud anymore. It's a small company, don't have unlimited resources.

Second, there are no revenues, no future and no clients on their public cloud. Solaris for all intent and purpose is dead (it pains me to say that but that's a fact). What companies run Solaris in this decade? None. Plus hosting competition is at an all time high, DigitalOcean and other on the cheap side, AWS and Google on the enterprise side.

Samsung is a massive company and all massive companies have massive internal systems and need for internal infrastructure. I bet there is plenty of work that needs to be done internally that is much more valuable than public cloud. There they go.

If you've worked in any F50, you would know that the sheer amount of servers and desktops is larger than an AWS datacenter. They are all cloud hosting, internal or external, whether that's their main business or not.
The link brings us to an article focused on how another article in Quanta Magazine did not summarize an article in Nature correctly.

Really, the right thing to do is go directly to the Nature article, and read the abstract. If you've been reading things about QM, even as a non-physicist, then you're probably pretty close to understanding the abstract.

Moreover, a quick reading of the Quanta Magazine article makes it seem as though they shifted the focus of the original result from predictability and determinism to instantaneous transitions. (Although I note I haven't had time to read and fully digest the Nature paper.)

From the abstract in Nature:

> The times at which the discontinuous jump transitions occur are reputed to be fundamentally unpredictable. Despite the non-deterministic character of quantum physics, is it possible to know if a quantum jump is about to occur? Here we answer this question affirmatively: we experimentally demonstrate that the jump from the ground state to an excited state of a superconducting artificial three-level atom can be tracked as it follows a predictable ‘flight’, by monitoring the population of an auxiliary energy level coupled to the ground state. The experimental results demonstrate that the evolution of each completed jump is continuous, coherent and deterministic.

Just a piece of advice: try to take a step back and listen more carefully to the complaints you're hearing...
>but it's because of the cost of raising children and not the children themselves

that's the equivalent of saying "if I control for skin colour I observe no discrimination". The cost of raising children both financially and in time, is intrinsically linked to raising children.

It is often asserted that spousal relationships suffer from the routine chores that come with raising children, and that is not going away. Don't control for the thing you want to measure.
Why did you put science in scare quotes?
My point is not that they require a lot of work. My point is that they have a massive impact on climate change. You could spend your entire life flying to conferences, living on a cruise ship, dumping trash in the ocean, and none of it would even hold a candle to the environmental impact of having a child.

I really doubt the traditional nuclear family is natural and hence "optimal" although I guess that depends on your goal. I think as an extension or outcome, perhaps the purpose of civilization, nuclear families provide safety and security rather than producing the best offspring for the species as a whole. What's better, people of every level of fitness and intelligence pairing off to produce God knows what sort of mutants that will be protected on some level by society, or a handful of males who are naturally predisposed to good health, fitness, and intelligence, turbo Chads if you will, seeding large groups of females.

I'm not saying one is better for than the other overall, but one is surely better than the other for certain outcomes. Do we want an equitable society where low status individuals, but particularly males, have a better shot at reproduction and may contribute more to building a society that propagates that "culture" of safety and equity? Or do we go with what is probably more natural? I mean i can guess why and how religions of old and civilizations formed and why they were patriarchal
Making a choice properly requires having knowledge about the particular options. Fertility education particularly in regard to age is not part of the sexual education curriculum in the UK [1] nor in international guidance documents [2,3] (just Ctrl-F "fertility"). And a recent poll in the US showed that 77% of women did not properly understand the relationship between age and fertility [4]. At some point this stops being choices made with appropriate knowledge and starts being a massive and tragic policy failure.

Don't beat yourself up over it. I myself am transgender and I am still regularly banned from LGBTQ+ online communities simply because I am not an activist and caution against extremism.

For many people, it is a cultural war. You are either "with us" or "against us".

Online media and online narratives are written in such a way that anyone outside your own group is perceived as evil. The filtering bubble effect of closed communities ("safe spaces") often aggravates the situation. I have seen people with balanced positions turn to the far right and others to the far left in knee jerk reactions to negative experiences.

What you hear is the loud minority of a minority. Racism and sexism against white males do exist. The people who hold those values are just as bigoted as any other racist or sexist individuals.

Most well rounded and balanced humans won't tell you that any demographic is "evil". In fact, most people just want to spend their days without thinking about others.

Potential Attack Paths in Operational Technology
Excerpt below from full article posted here: https://mixmode.ai/blog/operational-technology-risk-attack-paths-challenges-and-protection-for-vital-industrial-systems

What is Operational Technology?
OT is defined as the hardware and software that keeps power plants running, manages factory process lines, and works together to achieve an industrial objective such as manufacturing, transportation of matter, the generation of energy, etc.

In the context of network security, one of the biggest blind spots to a typical factory operation is the manufacturing line or factory floor. In many production lines there are smart tools to control devices that are frequently overlooked as threats to the network.

Who has access to the operations beyond the factory walls? Third-party vendors, contractors and vendors create risk. Which supplier is able to connect to your OT environment? What is transmitted? Is it secured?

Supply-chain attacks have dramatically changed the attack surface of the manufacturing network in the past few years, with more suppliers and service providers touching sensitive data via the (Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) than ever before.

OT Attack Paths

Adversaries are always looking for new methods to attack networks with sensitive or proprietary data. For OT, NTTSecurity identifies potential attack paths as:

-Uncontrolled maintenance access to machines
-Unpatched control servers, PLCs, CPUs
-Non-hardened OS components
-Hardcoded usernames & passwords
-Web-based access without security
-Missing network segmentation, unknown data flow
-Unprotected gateways

Leading to the following possible impacts:

-Loss of production (denial of service)
-Manipulation of production processes
-Theft of Intellectual Property (IP)
-Lateral Movement
-Environmental influences
-Safety issues and/or destruction of machinery
Move to another city. Leave your small-town life. Chase your dream. Live alone. Pay more per capita to landlords. Pay more per capita for basic services, for staple foods. Pay businesses to do the household chores that you can't handle alone when you're also working a full-time job, and don't have a family to spread them out among.

Buy more stuff to fill that emotional hole. Consume.

Live in an apartment. Never see your neighbors. Wonder why you can't make friends.

Fly home once or twice a year to watch your parents slowly die of loneliness in the small town you left. And to watch them slowly become strangers to you; what do you have in common? Their only friends now are the talking heads on Fox News and you're a big-city liberal.

Eventually, fly home to bury one of them. Probably the other one in anywhere from a few months to a year.

It's the American dream.
I never had a lot of family around while I was growing up. It was just my parents and sister, one set of grandparents (until my early teens), and a few other non-family people that my parents treated like family.

I similarly moved to the west coast. My parents have passed away, and my sister (and her family) still lives on the east coast. I've made myself a family of sorts out of a group of very close friends, but I do feel the lack of family sometimes, especially when I see how close some friends are with their (local) extended family members.

It's something I never expected to have, especially given the small nature of my family while growing up, and yet I still feel like I'm missing out on something.

> The thought that our future relies now more in Google's product decisions is scary.
At least in this case, Google's product decisions are counter-balanced by the variety of enterprise contracts Looker is already beholden to. Which should help to temper any abrupt surprises.

That said Azure has embedded PowerBI[1], AWS has embedded Quicksight[2], and Tableau even offers an embedded analytics service[3]. So you're far more likely to see it being rolled into GCP than being killed off outright. And all of their competitors offer the same flavor of "deeply integrated with our ecosystem but also connects to just about data store". So they'd actually lose feature parity with all of their main competitors if they butchered the embedded version.

I figured it was something like that. I could picture it. The force touch actions are such a great idea but they need to be more intuitive for the 99% of people who don't RTFM and memorize what has an action. It can be so hit or miss.
Yup! It's still a big unknown if those companies can actually live up to their expectations with regards to profitability.

I have a sense as soon as the first one fails, the others will be under a lot of pressure combined with negative sentiment.
Pope Francis talks a lot about this in Amoris Laetitia[1] on the topic of Love in the Family. I've only finished the first two chapters but so far he has talked a lot about the same points you mentioned, and brought a lot of insights. My memory is failing me right now on specifics, but it's a very useful and insightful read for anyone who has a family, even if you're not Catholic.

IMO complaints like this, and modern feminism aren’t about “men are bad” they’re about s lack of power that women have relative to men in the existing system, which leads to an inability to determine their futures and live free.
This was one of the cases discussed in the book.

Respectfully, I disagree with Harari's broad classification(s). As one who has left a high-demand religion in adulthood, I'm keenly aware what the exercise of dogma as a worldview looks and feels like.
Everyone has to deal with the particular voices in their head. Women, men, genderqueer, whatever color; the voices in our head tailor themselves to attack our own particular worries, because they're part of us.

You have a part of you that is aware of the random lucky breaks you've gotten in life, which might not have been lucky in other times or places. That's a fine thing -- it's useful. But then you've got a part of you that takes that further and makes you feel undeserving, or makes you pick up and amplify on comments that resonate with that feeling of attack. Why?

To go back to the article, etc., do you have countervailing messages in your life, from family for instance?

I'm someone currently organizing a bunch of STEM outreach events for the summer, and I truly value my white dude allies who are volunteering, connecting me with speakers using their networks, asking their corporate overlords to fund us, and so on.

There is a ton of negativity in the world, as you alluded to, and we all pick up on the messages that are designed to hit us. This is a human problem, and you're not alone.
A lot of people have kids _for themselves_. There are a lot of other endeavours one can pursue that will bring happiness. I think where we fail as a society, is in teaching ourselves how to find those pursuits, surround ourselves with friends, and avoid loneliness.

> The mantra is to get rich and retire at 40

Hrm, I question the circle of people you're surrounded by. Many millennials are struggling to afford the basics, let alone travel or have a family!

This is a contentious and potentially unpopular opinion, but I posit that having children borders on unethical at this point in history. We've wrecked the planet and have growing anti-intellectual culture.

I'm happy you're happy though.

Ask HN: Ethical Software Jobs?
A large portion of visible software companies these days live in ethical gray areas. Adtech/tracking, analysis of tracking data, fintech, social disruption, dark patterns that cultivate addiction.

How do you seek out software jobs that genuinely benefit society, when they tend to be the ones making fewer headlines? Applications that are useful, non-manipulative, and don't cause social harm. Do particular languages have higher or lower adoption in these kinds of companies? Are there keywords or specialized job sites? What signifiers could be looked for?

I have less than five kids, but more than one kid.

My kids cause me a lot of stress. The burden of knowing I have to deal with them and their energetic, ridiculous antics every day when I get home really drains me. I don't really have time to exercise anymore because from sun-up to sundown I am dealing with them, so I'm slightly overweight and out of shape in a way I was not before I had kids. My diet isn't as diverse as it was before I had kids either because I can't go to the same places I used to or take the time to prepare what I used to prepare. I've stayed in the job I have now for longer than I should just because I worry about keeping a steady salary, paying my bills, and caring for my kids more than I ever worried about those things before. I don't spend a lot of money on self-care or personal enjoyment anymore because I need to save it in case something goes wrong and I need to spend the money on them.

Am I less happy? YES. I am less happy than before.

But if I was given the choice to go back, I wouldn't. I wouldn't even consider it. Not even for a millisecond. I don't know why and I really don't need to know why, but having kids is just better than being happy. I don't want to be happy, I want to be a good dad. It's true that being a parent makes you less happy, but it also makes happiness irrelevant (for the most part). It probably has something to do with evolution.

Feedback from total strangers is overrated. You have no clue where their feedback comes from (are they a prospective user? Some grumpy programmer who just wants to rant about your choice of framework? A product designer used to operating in a certain environment that just doesn’t apply to you? etc). Separating the wheat from the chaff from anonymous posters is tricky business.

Thinking of it as good feedback vs bad feedback based on the feedback itself is also not the right way to go in my experience. Good feedback is anything that observes the way a particular problem was solved, and proposes an alternative way of solving it, or reframes the problem altogether (identifying a problem that was not solved can be valuable too, although the line is blurrier). Bad feedback tends to be, well, anything that is not that.

But hey in the end, whatever works for you.
> There's nothing to say we have to, or even should, guide our lives by the patterns we learn from other parts of nature.

Whatever you do you will be nature. There is only nature, humans think they are outside of it or in control of nature, but we are part of nature because all there is, is all there is. There are no boundaries of distinction, it's a spectrum that encompasses all. At a fundamental level everything is equal and smooth.

I'm going to be vague so don't ask for more, but I recently had a minor medical problem, nothing life threatening at all.

I was prescribed a long course of X for it. My complaint responded well to that, but near the end of the course I got a new batch from an Indian generics company. They tasted far less bitter (all the pills from all sources were uncoated so it was very noticeable), and the complaint I had flared up again rapidly even while I was taking them.

I reported this to the body was responsible, giving them the batch number I'd saved. They re-analysed a sample from that batch (they keep back a sample of each) and said it was OK, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't. Stupidly I'd taken all the suspicious tablets when should have kept one back for them.

My story. Not solid but all I've got. If it had been something serious, I dunno...

(BTW this line "I'm sure that there are all sorts of dodgy pills ending up in unregistered pharmacies in the developing world" isn't kind. Their lives still matter, distance and poverty don't change that. I appreciate that may not have been the way you intended it though)
