I don't think it's trolling, it's just having a lighthearted moment in an unexpected situation. You can't blame individuals for doing what they're supposed to do, i.e. replying to emails; at that point it's the moderators' jobs to kill mailing permissions or something.

You seem to already know this, but "Metabolism First" is the name used for the theory in biology that you just described[0]

The idea is that some self-catalyzing cycle(s) of reactions among chemicals structurally much simpler than nucleotides or even protein enzymes preceded the era of nucleic acid based biology, until being completely (or replaced) by said RNA/DNA based systems.

They would be easier to service than off-shore wind turbines. You just need a light cable attached to a buoy, the service ship goes to the boy, pulls up a heavier cable with the light cable, then pull up the whole structure.

Come to think of it, the turbine pods may include a ballast tank that can be evacuated, to adjust the height in normal operation or to pull itself up to the surface for maintenance.

No, I grant you. Some of us have seen it. Although, there is a complication (in the anecdotals I can provide, that suffice to falsify a proposed rule) in determining whether bad treatments may have been the killers.
What I take from this is that luck takes a big part of happy stories in life.

I think you're mistaking the country, KLM is a Dutch airline, and the Netherlands is not a federation. They're under EASA and ICAO regulations, on top of Dutch and (every country they operate in) regulations.

> Airlines setting their own medical standards differently is what I (and the pilots’ union) think is improper.

It's up to them to set those medical standards if they think they're needed. They probably have mental health standards too, considering the worst air disaster in terms of death toll was caused by a pilot of theirs forgetting he's not in a simulator with bad visibility and crashing his 747 into another 747.

As has already been said, many countries require Covid vaccination for entry, including in the EU. Why would an airline not require their air staff to be vaccinated?

Performance: Six steps required when working on performance optimizations
I worked for Xerox in 1979-1980. I saw first-hand how the general Xerox organization was too copier-focused to appreciate the treasure they had at PARC. It's ironic that every new hire was given a copy of "The Billions Nobody Wanted" (by John H. Dessauer), a bio of Chester Carlson, the inventor of xerography.

At the top, Xerox saw the "paperless office" as a threat to their copier business. They denied my company access to the technical information we needed to make full use of the $500K ($1.7M today) laser printer we bought from them. A pox on Xerox!

To their credit, every branch had a terminal linked to an SDS Sigma running the Control Program V (CP-V) timesharing system. I used it to write a BASIC program to calculate optimal copier proposals for salesmen.

It is an alcoholic leaping over the bar to start drinking directly from the tap. It is a violation of the rules and will get you banned, but it will not cure a true addiction. Some gamblers are addicted to the game, but some are actually addicted to the money they want to win from gambling.

Making the beer free might stop kids from thinking it cool. It wont stop someone actually addicted to beer.

Without ignoring the reality that you only have 15-20 minutes with each candidate, some of them will be brilliant, and at least a third or more won't be able to code their way out of a paper bag. Oh, and keep in mind false negatives have almost no downside but false positives hurt the recruiter financially, and hiring bad people is expensive.
> Criticising the UK royals feels like criticising a religion

For the Queen and some Anglican believers that's literally true. She's an anointed monarch [0] and supreme leader of the Church of England. During the coronation, the anointing by the Archbishop of Canterbury consecrated and sacralized her—made her holy. The anointing has been the central part of the coronation for at least 1000 years. Of course, most people don't take all that seriously today (nor do I).

> Do you mean that Cloud-Native is about applications that are built on top of K8S, not K8S itself?

Exactly, from the end-user's perspective, cloud native is the API to access cloud, even the distributed cloud in the future. Kubernetes is just one popular way for end-user to enjoy cloud api. But AWS has its own way as well.

> What are the cloud native goals? Abstracting out end-users from any cloud?

We cannot reach a consensus unless we clarify clearly we throw opinions on which kind of position. For AWS, the leading cloud provider all around the world, He would say AWS service API is the best practice of cloud native. For 2nd, 3rd chaser for AWS, they would say AWS's way is no cloud native at all, since AWS just wish to lock users always in AWS. For end-users, a way to encapsulate all kinds of cloud provider's functionally into a single layer of API, it is the cloud native. Then end user could use any cloud with less effort and less cost.
You cheated yourself out of knowledge acquisition by treating a course of education as only a means to get a certificate.

That's cheating.

You're supposed to study the whole course, the examination is a statistical test to see if it's likely that you studied, and can apply, the whole course. If you didn't study the course, you're misrepresenting yourself by during the exam.

That's cheating (in a different way to the first one).

Examinations are imperfect, they usually can't cover an entire course without being too onerous.

In this circumstance you cheated, but did not break the rules for taking the exam. You will be less competent on the course material than is intended for those who pass.

it's probably linked to hearing about climate and ecology from 4th grade to now.

I think this is a big part of it. We were (and are) okay with teachers and children’s entertainment giving children strident, non nuanced messages thinking that they’d get the more complex picture later. That looks like a mistake.

Basically the older generation not taling responsibility, first for climate stuff, and then for raising "self righteous tiresome scolds".

I specifically said “where did we go wrong,” isn’t that taking responsibility?

> also an institutional response to risk

To further elaborate on this point, sometimes that risk is internally created. If you get negative feedback for doing something everyone agrees is valuable, negative because it's not what your manager would have chosen as the highest priority, or because the architect would have planned the implementation slightly differently, etc., then the natural response to that negative feedback is "OK, next time, let's do some more planning so that you'll be happier with the work that's being done." What makes customers happy and what makes managers happy is not always the same thing.

Great organizations embrace risk. Not reckless risk, not the kind where you say "eh, this might result in two-day downtime for all our customers, YOLO", but the kind where you say "I prefer that my workers make imperfect decisions that we can fix later if we really need to so that the whole organization can move faster". 80% of the time, the decision does not need to be fixed. 80% of the remaining 20%, you don't have time to fix it, and usually, that actually works out OK, all things considered.
One of my friends cousin immigrated to Canada recently from India.

They both are shady and like to use shortcuts to reach success.

Few years back, she rang me up at 12am in the night. She sent me a link asking me to solve a coding assessment for her. I was naive and idiot. I spent 2 hours on the test and submitted it.

After that, both of them did not contact me for year.

A year later, I came to know from him that her cousin passed that coding assessment and secured a full-time job with top 10 tech company for $140k/yr. She bought a house in one of the most prestigious community in Canada after probation.

On the other hand, I never got a job higher than $50k/yr. I continue to rent and survive.

Both of them came as immigrant few years after me and own houses. I cannot. I blocked both of them. I regret participating in that assessment everyday. It was against my morals and principles.

Never make friends in Canada. They use and through you like a condom.

I've done this, but it can be hard. Some designers can be very protective of their design, and you have to fight entire battles for something like "this white header text on a light-grey background image is almost unreadable, so I tweaked the colour a bit and added a text shadow" and other really basic no-brainers like that.

I don't even have very strong opinions about design; anything is fine with me. The only part I really do have a strong opinion on is "it should be readable", and enforcing only that has been very tiresome at times.

Every game menu feels like a casino now. Even the ones with no microtransactions put the trapping of P2W in. Cluttered flashy menus.

if only speculation wasn't by far the greatest use case.

It's important to remember that bitcoin failed as a payment system by the mid-2010s. It turns out nobody wanted to use it, including bitcoin holders - they wanted merchants to support it, but they didn't actually use it themselves. Merchants would switch off the bitcoin option, and get more emails of protest than they ever had transactions using it.

The rule where every transaction is a taxable event came after crypto had already failed for payments.

> I'm truly sick of seeing people throwing a fit over vaccines.

Only over certain vaccines in this case. Vaccines which have not undergone the normal testing but which have been pushed into use and mandated without stringent safety checks.

> They're safe

These vaccines are not proven to be as safe as most other vaccines

> effective

These vaccines have not proven to be as effective as promised

> and protect others

These vaccines do not protect against infection - there are indications that those who received the 'booster' dose have a higher rate of infection compared to those from the same cohorts who did not receive 'boosters' - and as such do not protect others.

> People need to stop being such babies over this

There are several laws which mandate bodily integrity, there are whole protest movements which loudly proclaim 'my body, my choice'. Given the above stated facts of these vaccines not being proven safe, not being nearly as effective as claimed and not protecting others it is a very rational choice to forego vaccination.

> Just get the stupid shot

Go ahead

> A huge problem of the 21st century is that everyone feels like they need to have an opinion

That is what you get in a liberal democracy/constitutional republic, people get to make their own choices. There are several movements which want to do away with these institutions to go/return to some more authoritarian form of control. I do not support those movements and I can only assume that you don't support them either. One person, one vote.

No, it is not. It is wise to read what 'scientists' - between quotes because the term has taken a beating in the last few decades - produce with a critical [1] eye.

One time a company I interviewed with asked me obscure algorithm questions about playing card shuffling. As a former professional magician I knew the optimal answers instantly and could jot them down straight away. They had allocated an hour for answers I wrote in a few minutes. I could have told them I had a massively unfair advantage, but I did not bother.

They were visibly impressed and told me I was moving on to the final interview stage right away. I declined, as I hate companies that select for algorithm puzzle skill instead of real world problem solving experience.
Of note is that pairing the desktop APU with one of the higher end desktop chipsets will still have the chipset (which is just another legacy IO die) have the excessive 10-15W idle consumption it would anyway.
