I recall speculating years ago that the universe might be starting a phase change from non-living to living matter. Life, left to its own devices, will eventually (after billions and billions more years) transform all matter and energy in the universe into life, causing life to become the dominant physical process for a long epoch of time.

The life we see (and are) now is the very beginning of that phase transition, the seed crystals if you will.

It also leads to my personal speculation about the Fermi paradox: if the universe is relatively uniform and has cooled and evolved at a consistent rate, we might not see any star-faring aliens because there aren't very many of them around yet. All across the universe there could be a ton of worlds with life approximately as complex as is found on this one. I call this the "uniform cooling hypothesis." We don't see things like alien megastructures because that stuff hasn't happened yet.

Of course for the uniform cooling hypothesis to fully explain the Fermi paradox the standard deviation for living complexity/diversity would have to be relatively small. The distribution would have to be tight enough that at least a non-trivial fraction of galaxies do not yet contain any significant number of star-faring aliens. We would therefore have a decent chance of being in one of those not-yet-colonized galaxies, explaining our "paradox."

If the distribution is really tight we might go to the stars and run right into others who are on their first journeys, or get visited within a short time frame +/- our first interstellar trips. If some fraction of UFOs are aliens maybe we are seeing them because we are about to do the same thing. It's "steam engine time."

Note also that intergalactic travel is many orders of magnitude harder than interstellar travel. It would require speeds close to 'c' and accompanying time dilation to even be imaginable, since over such long time scales complex materials actually start to fall apart at the atomic and molecular level. Sleeper ships could go to Centauri but they won't take you to Andromeda. The uniform cooling hypothesis would easily explain a lack of intergalactic colonists. They simply do not exist yet.
Slack threads don’t (or at least, didn’t; it’s been a couple years) show in the main message feed, they show when you expand the thread into the sidebar. In the feed, it shows the original message with an “n replies” text below it.

In Mattermost, new replies show as normal messages in your feed with a bit of context for what they’re replying to, and clicking on the context expands the full thread in a sidebar.

I find the Mattermost implementation more ergonomic because you can read replies without expanding the whole thread every time, and stale threads will get bumped by new messages.

The Outback seats 5 so it makes sense that you wouldn’t use it with 4 kids. Still I get the sense that 1-2 kid families are going overboard. Two car seats fit fine in any compact.

Similarly, I hope folks will reach out with ANY additional data around the lack of danger caused by large / heavy vehicles as opposed to any other non-commercial vehicle.

I'm sorta tired of people regulating or trying to regulate every aspect of life. Maybe just let people make their own decisions.

I think there is a difference between 1-2 kids and 3-4 though? If you have 3-4 kids of similar age that needs car seats it becomes quite a bit more justified to get a large car for that reason. Not saying there is a need for a justification to get a large car.

The Discourse Is a Commons (and It Sucks We Need to Do Better)
They always pass me much faster when I'm riding my bike too. I'm not sure why at all but it's quite scary when they do.
From the article: "Because the environment is multiplayer, we can examine the progression of agent behaviours while training on held-out social dilemmas, such as in a game of “chicken”. As training progresses, our agents appear to exhibit more cooperative behaviour when playing with a copy of themselves. Given the nature of the environment, it is difficult to pinpoint intentionality — the behaviours we see often appear to be accidental, but still we see them occur consistently."
I don't know how it's possible, but I cannot wait for the day where I don't have to deal with "chats". Telegram, iMessage, LinkedIn, emails, discord, this app, that app. I simrace with a 60 year old man and no matter how much we try, he cannot wrap his head around how to use discord.
Exactly. To be clear, I did fit three across in the rear of the Outback, but my state does not permit a carseat in the front seat (plus there needs to be room for a 2nd adult). So we had no real choice, we had to get something with third-row seating.
This is a huge factor that non-parents don’t realize. Today’s car seats are huge, to the point that they’ve been seriously proposed as reducing family sizes. More expensive car seats are even bigger, with anti-rebound bars, seat-to-floor bars, and extra side padding. We tell parents to keep their seats rear-facing as long as possible (in many circles up to the age of 4, with limited evidence), and discourage smaller booster seats. There’s no comparison between the situation today and a generation ago.

And that’s just the car seats. Strollers are also huge (the latest trend is for newborns to lie flat in a bassinet, which is basically a mini-crib in a stroller). It all adds up, much faster than you would expect.

I imagine it's part of it, but even when you look at unpowered devices there seems to have been shockingly little innovation when you compare what was available in the 1800s and today. It's still a few flatbars with leather/velcro fasteners, the main improvement has been with materials like carbon fiber to lower the weight but that's about it. There's some interesting patents like air cushions to improve fit and some weight redistribution mechanisms but nothing available for the consumer.
The ones that are based on truck platforms are probably super cheap for the manufacturer to produce. Then they throw on a leather package and let you connect your iPhone and they can get another 10k out of you.
Right now, Tencent makes a lot of money selling data on Chinese citizens to the highest bidder for the purpose of ad targeting. The government isn't going to do "everything they can" to make Tencent bigger if "everything" includes allowing anyone with deep enough pockets to put their population under surveillance. Hence the network security review.

The human bears their own weight, so they need to move the exoskeleton + load. These systems are more like braces you stand in with strong frames and motors to augment your natural lifting motions than "waldo"-style full exoskeletons. In that respect they differ from what would be needed to help a fully disabled person stand.
> I suppose we could make an argument for eliminating legacy preference in university admissions, but I’m sure some families would still bias toward certain professions in the interest of following in their parents’ footsteps.

Why would we want to do anything to change it? I'm having trouble expressing this idea so maybe it's not clear but you want to change who ends up wealthy from one random person to another random person? Whoever it is is still just human like the other one. It's already a complete lottery which family somebody will be born into. As long as you accept that some individuals will end up advantaged over others, why does it matter which ones they are? The result will still be "high income earners earn higher income than low income earners".
Probably skill set of staff?

For example, if a place has developed fairly good knowledge of PG already, they can "just" (!) continue developing their PG knowledge.

Absolutely. Actually the reason I posted that comment in the first place was to solicit reactions from Turks (I am not Turk, but have spent years in Turkey.) The cult of personality factor is high, and somewhat concerning. But (maybe) understandable given what it's counterbalancing, and the background of the people it's intended to influence.
To be fair, multi-node networking of any sort is on a different level than single-host docker networking.

If you ever tried to use Docker Swarm to network multiple nodes, god help you.

Also worth noting that almost all users of K8s don't actually need to operate a cluster, the hosted offerings handle all of that for you. You just need to understand the Service object, and maybe Ingress if you're trying to do some more advanced cert management or API gateway stuff.

It's a common meme around here to point in horror to the complexity that is abstracted away under the K8s cluster API, and claim that k8s is really hard to use. I think that's mostly misguided, the hosted offerings like GKE really do a good job of hiding away all that complexity from you.

Honestly I think that it's defensible to say that the k8s networking model is in most cases _simpler_ than what you'd end up configuring in AWS / GCP to route traffic from the internet to multiple VM nodes.

In the Ancient Times there were a couple of different approaches to something similar to what you are asking for.

On the one side, for many years that was what people considered their "home page": you'd use a "Portal" like Yahoo! or MSN.com and they'd support all sorts of customization, including blocks for RSS feeds you'd give it. It's hard to imagine today's super-curated and overly news-obsessed Yahoo! or MSN.com being truly customizable and allowing you to pick and choose RSS feeds over media conglomerate content, but Yahoo! has fallen quite far from its peak and MSN.com and others were always flirting with the media conglomerates over user interests.

The other thing that existed in the Ancient Times that even fewer remember today was that HP believed RSS feeds actually could herald the "personal morning newspaper era" and that it would be great for printer and ink sales so they had an RSS reader for years that you'd give it a list of RSS feeds and a print schedule and it would happily have your "morning newspaper" printed and waiting for you.

It was an interesting idea, though I still don't think the waste of paper/ink on that was necessarily the best idea for the planet, but there was some romance to the concept of a "personalized morning newspaper".

Most e-readers have an RSS app or three, some with strong offline support. You might be able to get what you want from the right app.

I've also seen some interesting DIY projects (mostly here on HN) of people taking big e-ink displays and building ambient personal news surfaces. Nothing productized yet, but very cool to see people DIY exploring the "magic mirror" spaces for non-interactive "here's a glance at stuff you care about" displays.

If family is anywhere in tarot cards, I’d recommend moving elsewhere. The majority of SF is 20 years behind their biological prime for the type of relationship they are looking for. Sort of like going to college in your 40s. You think that won’t be you, but, as a man, it’s not your choice. Otherwise, there are a lot of single childless career women in their late 40s and 50s, who will be much more interesting to talk to than anybody in their family years.
The thing is, yes-code can also become an albatross for some companies.

I can tell you right now we pay too much money to build table based apps and user forms. No-code tools should remove the need to build stuff like that, which even developers don’t want to keep making at this point.

When you have an entire team of agile managers, designers, devs to set up a query that populates a table, you sort of have already lost sight of the forest for the trees.
As someone who would like to blog but doesn't, because I don't put in the effort:

> I am afraid to blog.

Don't be.

> I could write about my career and my hobby, but those do not seem to be interesting for others.

Says who? Let others be the judge.

> My opinion may be interesting, but it is risky because something I write may come back to offend others one day, or get me in trouble.

This one is tricky but its easy: be careful with humor as that tends to be a source of social faux pas. Steer clear from politics. Stay on topic.

example: I was reading a blog about Linux desktop critique which devolved into a stupid rant about RMS and woke politics. Hard fail on the authors part.

Another problem is that kids have friends and want to go places with them. Add 1-2 friends and it's easy to fill most cars up.
One of my biggest complaints about the Master The Mainframe thing is that they give you an up and running machine. There are very few ways to onboard from the very basics. You don't learn (at least I didn't got that far) to install software and services.

I know you buy it fully configured according to what you ordered (every unit is custom-built, the ultimate luxury computer - take that, Apple) but, still, most people will have no idea what to even ask for or what the possibilities are.

Having a hobby license for z/PDT or z/OS would be awesome, but I don't think it's coming. IBM got mad when the Hercules crowd started selling Hercules as sort of an off-ramp for mainframe users.
Ever since the earliest hunter-gatherer times, there has never been a crisis of this magnitude in the history of the human race, so I'm not sure what you're on about. Ever since we were more than a handful of people living in a single location, there has never before been a situation where, by our own actions, we were this likely to destroy our current way of life for the entirety of the human population.
CAFE standards (regulations) are the reason why trucks are so large. Fuel efficiency standards are based on the size of vehicle, so a bigger vehicle allows for more fuel consumption and thus a more practical to build vehicle while still meeting standards.

There is no shortage of small trucks internationally. If you want smaller trucks, you seek deregulation (removal of fuel efficiency standards and the chicken tax).
It is simple rule of authority system, not rule of law system. The only way to win is to give the party members enough shares or bribes so that they like you and see you as the member of the club. Chinese authorities are especially thin skinned and will see moves like this also as the win against any criticism.

IE the license grants the ability to add the GPL license that code.

Taking this to the MPL example: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/

The MPL 2.0 is compatible with GPL because it explicitly grants the right to release MPL code as GPL. All the copyright holders of MPL 2.0 code have authorized this secondary licensing because the license they released it as says so.

This means that in cases where compatibility matters, then the MPL2.0 code base has all the additional restrictions that the GPL has. And the GPL is _all_ code, which means it spreads out from there. If you are using GPL-2.1, MPL-2.0, and APACHE-2.0 code in the same code base, there is a violation.

I think this article misses the possibly that we had a shot to get an interplanetary civilization due to the accumulation of fossil fuels over the last ~400m years, but that we've consumed those resources not getting out into space meaningfully and therefore have missed the window (as it were). We've clearly exceeded the carrying capacity of Earth and the period from the 1950s to the 2050s may well be the only time period where there is enough civilizational/energy surplus to afford the extremely high upfront costs of creating self sustaining ecologies off of Earth. I hope I'm wrong, but if civilization collapses (as they all seem to do eventually), I'm not sure it will ever be possible for another Earth based species to get off planet meaningfully (due, for example, to the unique circumstances required to lay down large coal beds).
Keep in mind: efficient and organized or not, the government check keeps coming.

That article doesn't say anything about regulations. The only thing I can find that relates at all to what you're talking about are the Federal Bumper Standards, which only apply to passenger cars. Minivans are excluded as well as SUVs.

> Using data from the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG), we show that women who report that religion is “very important” in their everyday life have both higher fertility and higher intended fertility than those saying religion is “somewhat important” or “not important.” Factors such as unwanted fertility, age at childbearing, or degree of fertility postponement seem not to contribute to religiosity differentials in fertility. This answer prompts more fundamental questions: what is the nature of this greater “religiosity”? And why do the more religious want more children? We show that those saying religion is more important have more traditional gender and family attitudes and that these attitudinal differences account for a substantial part of the fertility differential. We speculate regarding other contributing causes.
