I think these are simultaneously true:

- The Universe is teaming with life, because thermodyamics creates information processing structures, or rather a hierarchy of dissipative structures where the structures at the lower levels are selected for thermodynamic effiency, which is a selection for information processing. The structures at the higher levels like galaxies and stars are everywhere, why wouldn't the rest of the hierarchy. However we can't detect that yet, and will need that proof.

- People who believe in aliens are doing it for the same psychological reason flat Earthers believe in what they believe in. It makes the feel special. This is guided by social influence and a conspiracy mentality, hence all the motivated reasoning. I don't know if education or a psychologist would be better to fix this, but something along those lines went wrong in the person's life.

- Aliens could have visited Earth. The distances in space would suggest otherwise, but there is a large amount of uncertainty in what these aliens could be capable of, even beyond our understanding of physics. You can't have it both ways though, the aliens can't be simultanously clever enough to stay hidden, but clumsy enough to occasionally show themselves to aircraft pilots. Militaries like to use aliens as a cover for testing, but pilots are also suspectible to misidentifying what they see. The blurry pictures themselves don't prove anything. These cases are cursed with a large potential for human error and manipulation.
Yep. It's like Bainbridge Health, spun out of Children's Hospital of Philadelphia which had $3 BILLION in revenue in FY2021 and $10 BILLION in assets.

How much did Bainbridge Health give to open source health platforms? Hopefully at least .001% of those amounts.
No you do not. Let'e bob goes on a rant about capital punishment against aborters or incarceration for gay people once that is also repealed. How will you feel as a pro choice person or a gay person? Will you not feel hurt in the slightest and will it not affect how you work and interact with bob?

People like you must have always been in positions of power and priviledge. I have been at the other end enduring all sorts of horrific remarks and being forced to keep quiet to save my career. Now I look back at those jobs and the first thing I always remeber is how horrible it felt people saying ignorant and hurtful things day in and day out and being forced to listen to that or disagree and not get my contract renewed, and affect other political power dynamics that can literally ruin my life.

So please sir/madam, don't shit where you eat. Not everyone appreciates the smell while they eat.
I prefer the quote from Vonnegut:

Hmmm... I never finished updating my Github Sponsor thing, so I've just done that.

But as someone that tended to create orgs for projects rather than have it all under a personal account, should I move all of the projects? I guess so, right?

What's the recommended way to move Go repos without breaking them for all users? (I have low-thousands of stars, but the largest project is used by mid-thousands of projects - so I anticipate breakage for my hopeful $5 one-off solo sponsor).

Something like using a vanity import path for all projects? https://sagikazarmark.hu/blog/vanity-import-paths-in-go/
It's quite possibly not the algo anymore running TikTok ...

It's likely now all just a random assortment of content from whoever pays the most for ad promotions on their posts, without violating community standards and policy, and occasional celeb posts here and there... of course.

The algo likely only does light duty when something bad on the platform makes the news... They have to make sure paid ads run as promised, and a lot of people buy ads, there is likely no more space for unpaid algo picks, as the Internet now runs 24/7 worldwide with over 8 billion potential customers.
Sounds like you clearly have an agenda, which comes down to "it's okay to ban anything I don't agree with". And that's exactly what the article is talking about.
Or you can grow beans, hemp, etc. Some animal protein is good. But in many places the level of animal protein creation and consumption does not harm than good.

I know you mentioned cows, but do some research on factory farmed pigs. They're legal toxic waste sights. We need to rethink our (Western) approach to diet.

They would. Did you just forget TAI? Microsoft didn't consider 4chan would train her to be the ultimate racist.

Hyperbole is a dangerous rhetorical figure, but I had hoped that I was clear enough so as not to be taken literally but, well, rhetorically.
An embryo is a stage of being a human. As you say, you were an embryo yourself. It's only because we can't see it that we feel it's not human enough and can be killed. The thought of not being "human enough" doesn't bode well in our history, especially around the 1940s timeframe.
Multiple nations are having water issues. Not just in myopic California. South Africa, the Mekong delta including Thailand and Vietnam, the PO river, parts of the US southeast are dealing with depleted aquifers and drought conditions, the Nile river supporting Egypt and Jordan, Lake Chad of Africa, etc. The water issue is global, as will be the impact on food prices. I expect significant refugees/migrants and authoritarianism.

The US has a reputation for litigiousness and comically large judgements. That probably influences the amount of legal advertising.
A $500K donation to the maintainers of the open source projects used by a company is significant. Full stop. There is no other hand. It is also not the only contributions they make. If all companies made decent sized donations to the open source projects they rely upon the whole ecosystem would be more vibrant and sustainable.

Microsoft also has its FOSS Fund which donates $10K each month to a project that is nominated and voted upon by its FOSS contributors. https://github.com/microsoft/foss-fund

My guess is a blog post probably costs less than $500K to create so I guess that makes this a good deed.
The definition of “promotion” here is bad enough that simply listing abortion as a provided service at a clinic would be illegal.

We do not know who provides these services, because they’re not allowed to tell us they provide these services.

Nobody is about to go get an ad campaign on TV telling women to get abortions here now, buy one get one free. That’s not how the medical system here works.
what would be the global policy on abortion?

Probably none. I agree with the author that we need world government, but it would be stupid to have the highest level of government stipulate all laws for every nation, state, province, county, town and village beneath it.
Taking a land navigation course can do wonders.
Ironically, on this specific topic, Google has its own problems. If I search for "hunter biden emails" on Google, I get page after page of media analysis telling me what to think, but no link to the emails themselves. If I used that same search term on Yandex, the page hosting the emails is the very first result.
Admittedly, bike lighting is a solved problem by now, one shouldn't bike where you cannot see. There is always the risk of an obstacle you wouldn't expect, could be even an injured person blocking the way.

But of course, this doesn't justify any of those ridiculus and dangerous artificial blocks. Just clearly marking the bike paths with color should be good enough. If an car ever is caught there, well, rip apart the drivers license. Or just leave it to the bicyclists :p I have seen too many of those blockages myself, they are dangerous and often enough I cannot pass them with my bicycle.

Of course, but there are some themes and tropes that was rarely found outside American movies, and if you now find them in other western movies, it’s because of the disproportionate influence American culture have had since the end of WW2.

And many pro-life folks say that you're killing a child. It's his/her body.

Just thinking outside the box for a second, but shouldnt it be possible to sue the patent office for copyright infringement in this case?

As in, they published someone elses copyrighted design without giving appropriate credit.

Are they given special exemptions from copyright law?

DMCA takedown notice almost seems appropriate.
My issue with reddit is the polar opposite. It's not moderated remotely aggressively enough!

Any interesting subreddit immediately falls to the lowest common denominator without aggressive moderation. /r/askhistorians is a good example of the level of moderation a subreddit needs to remain sane as it grows.

People like to complain about gatekeeping, but societies build gates for a reason. I would like a forum that actively encourages gatekeeping and bans users who consistently post low quality comments.
But not all DAGs are trees and the one in the picture (and generally all graphs of dependencies) isn't.

https://www.crunchydata.com/developers/terms-of-use

Before using Crunchy Data, I'd read their terms of use.

"without an active Crunchy Data Support Subscription or other signed written agreement with Crunchy Data are not intended for... using the services provided under the Program (or any part of the services) for a production environment, production applications or with production data"

https://hub.docker.com/r/crunchydata/crunchy-postgres

If you look at their Docker Hub images, you'll see that they're provided under the terms of use of the Crunchy Data developer program which means you can't use them in production without an active subscription.

Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but if that's the case Crunchy Data should definitely change their terms of service.

https://www.percona.com/blog/2021/05/26/percona-distribution...

Percona certainly seems to think you can't use the Crunchy Data images in production saying, "CrunchyData container images are provided under Crunchy Data Developer Program, which means that without an active contract they could not be used for production."
Try to define crypto through a process Of eliminating all the things it once claimed to be but clearly is not.

It's not a practical currency.

It's not a commodity.

It's not a store of value.

It's not stable.

It's not independent of fiat. One of the first things crypto markets did was try to address the stability issue by tying crypto to fiat using "stablecoins".

So what exactly is crypto really good for?

Relieving those who don't really understand markets and finance from the burden of their fiat. And facilitating crime and money laundering.
As others have already said, you’re a huge inspiration.

In my opinion, there is no such thing as a "general application". What about generating static websites? Is that a "general application"? Is TTFX a big issue there? Currently, the Julia package Franklin.jl takes around 15 seconds to create the website the first time (changes in the source code update the page in less than one second). I'd argue no.

What about Julia to produce generative art? Is TTFX an issue there? Etc. If "general applications" means _all possible applications_, then I'm not sure any language is suitable for general applications.

Julia has weaknesses which limits what it's good at. Right now I think it has more weaknesses than other languages. Some of these limits will hopefully be removed or reduced in the future. But fundamentally, I don't see Julia as some kind of domain specific or niche language. Just like any language, it just has its own set of tradeoffs.
Legal? Most occupy occupations were dismantled by the police, even in progressive cities like Oakland and Portland. Perhaps the police were wrong and the protestors had a right to occupy, but if so, why didn't the protestors on Jan 6 also have a right to occupy the Capitol?

Violent? The only violence on January 6th was between police and protestors. There was plenty of similar violence at Occupy protests, but the Occupy protests also had other kinds of violence, like Sexual Assaults Reported in 'Occupy' Camps[1]

Insurrectionist? "The FBI at this point believes the violence [on January 6th] was not centrally coordinated...there was no grand scheme...to storm the Capitol and take hostages."[2]

Sympathizers within the government? Like Obama?[3]

An attempt to disrupt the normal functioning of government? Yes, both were. That's actually a common protest tactic - protesters generally argue that a protest has to be disruptive to be effective.

Yes, as bicycles/pedestrians are not as tall as trucks, the underpasses can be lower with all resulting benefits. So yes, the bikes probably should go under the cars. Doesn't mean however, that the cars couldn't go over a raised bridge. Or even just split the difference. Have the underpass go down like 1.5m and then raise the road above that.
The headline is extremely misleading.

It's not about "advertising" for abortions but about _providing information_ on abortions as a doctor.
It’s not yet a child when you perform an abortion!
Be aware that "advertisement" here is in the legalese sense.

I.e. this is less about "ad" advertisements but more about e.g. doctors having flyers better informing about what is possible/legal in the waiting room and similar.

Like before you basically had to "somehow magically know" who could do an abortion as even mentioning it on the doctors (hospitals) website might be counted as advertisement.
It's not true that doctors can't advertise, there are just restrictions of the type of advertisement they can do. There are e.g. many online portals that list doctors with their specific services and contain appraisals by customers. It would just not be allowed for the doctor to do such kind of appraisals ("I'm the greatest dentist in Berlin") by themselves.

In any case it's hardly an issue for them as most doctors are fully booked for months, so they rarely need to advertise their services. Companies like Doctolib therefore aim more at optimizing the booking process to e.g. ensure that canceled bookings get backfilled automatically to increase the overall booking rate, though even that is usually not a problem and most doctors overbook their appointments to make sure they stay busy during the day (that's why you often have to wait 30-60 minutes here even if you have an appointment scheduled).
> ads for gambling

Not true anymore, in the last years, mostly on private TV channels & internet ads, people are and were being blasted with ads for gambling sites :D
Ah, but if I use the FB messenger, I probably trust FB enough that I also regularly visit/use it in my browser, and probably even use it to authorize other apps and services through it... So I'll have to unblock every app that uses FB services anyways.

And FB's trackers and ad-services and other privacy-invading stuff is all on different sub-domains that PiHole or any other "generic" firewall blocks anyways, so again I'm fine without application-level firewalling
That is a separate issue, and unless they think that money would be enough to settle any license violations, it has nothing to do with donating some cash to maintainers.
Using privacy front-ends makes the experience much more tolerable and completely eliminates ads. Then you can directly support your favorite creators via patreon, etc. There's invidious [0] and piped [1], with the major differentiator being that invidious doesn't require JS and piped having sponsorblock built in.

Ask HN: If you were to start a new company, what tech stack would you recommend?
Context: A company has asked me to join as CTO and everything is prototype stage and needs to be rewritten from ground up.

the current stack is Java (spring) on the Atlassian Suite (bitbucket, jira, confluence) - there's no love for that platform within the teams I'd take over, but I'm curious to know how others do it and what they'd recommend.

Personal Bias':

SCM/CI: Gitlab

Documentation: I prefer `docs/` in the repo's themselves, but there is a need for something more architectural; maybe mediawiki is fine?

Task Management: Notion or Monday

PL: Golang + some python glue

Build system: Bazel (if anything)

Structured DB layer: Cockroach

But I'm extremely open to other ideas.

I know everything should start with "what problem am I trying to solve" but there has to be some sensible defaults here? right?

I'm trying to not choose tools that make people miserable, I only have experience with tools that make people miserable. The scale is pretty small.
I also joined in 2010-ish, and although the big subreddits have been declining forever, some of the niche ones have improved massively because of the increased number of users. To me, reddit is two parallel user experiences - interesting discussion in niche subreddits matching my interests, and mindless doom scrolling through the big, astro turfed generic subreddits. There used to be more overlap between the two, but the days of interesting comment threads in the default subreddits are definitely gone now.
We’re going to have monorepos until everyone tires of solving the problems they didn’t have before switching to this decade’s shiny object for workflow.
Are you involved in how science gets funded?

I am not, but what I know is, it involves lots of buerocracy and still lets lots of science unfunded. But this is understandable, as science is unlimited and the question remains, who decides what is worth funding? And remember that funding is tax payer money.
Fair enough, but should $500k coming from a $10M ARR business be received with the same applause as $500k coming from a >$1B ARR business?

Both are valid opinions, I think, but personally I tend to be more impressed by the smaller business.

At any rate, as I said, it’s a great start.
The media undermined the Occupy protests, portraying them as a rudderless, rag-tag bunch of unemployed no-hopers seeking government handouts.

The establishment media (millionaire mouthpieces for billionaires) is not going to assist any movement that actually threatens the establishment.
How does the evaluation of the feasibility of the proposed law work?

The open source version of phabricator is no longer maintained, but that only happened 1 year ago. Facebook's internal phabricator is still maintained and there is phorge which is attempting to fork and maintain the open source version of phabricator. Uber may opt to just maintain phabricator themselves.

>is used most of the time with svn

It supports mercurial, git, and svn.

It is a modern platform and works well.
What's even worse is that the code is used as single factor, eg. No extra security besides this code.

Ads for tobacco seems to be fine though, and ads for vape pens (that actually taunt you into using them) are everywhere
> An embryo is not a human

So a human female and a human male copulate and they conceive something not-human? What species is it if it is not Homo sapiens? If it is not Homo sapiens, why does it apparently have human DNA (distinct from either the female and male that were involved)?

Why is it that when two humans copulate, they produce something not-human, but when every other mammal pairs copulate they produce something of the same species?

In your opinion when does it go from being not-human to being human? Is is gradual, on a spectrum? Or is it binary: at a certain point in development there is some characteristic that becomes present
I have no idea (I am French and we thankfully do not have this problem).

My point is that the adversaries do not ignore the important points of the other side. These are usually the important point for them as well, they are just exactly at the other side of the spectrum.

This is why there is no way for them to come to consensus as the differences of opinion are about these points.

It is not like someone, when hearing the arguments of the other side, would say "oh, I did not think about this because i thought it was important"
If you take a look at existing case law this is basically the current interpretation. There is a notion of de minimis, for example.
Monorepos have the big advantage that cross-project changes can be made together in one PR.
While I don’t agree with the sentiment that it’s irresponsible to publish these maps, I don’t think you should underestimate how lazy the average person is, including terrorists. It often baffles me how utterly ineffective most terrorists are (which I guess , among other things, comes down to “bad”/lazy planning), only managing to kill maybe a handful of people, if even that.

Most people wouldn’t be very interested in being so nerdy as to map out the London Underground. Why would most terrorists be any different?
