Do they? I don't work in law but at every company I've worked we adjust who is working on what based on needs at the time. Why wouldn't a law office temporarily shift more people to a case if they needed some extra manpower?

Migration is a recurring movement behaviour or pattern, coconuts don't do that. You are probably thinking of dispersal, which is movement that results in gene flow, e.g. into a new place, permanently.

That certainly occurs but it seems likely it isn't all that common, coconuts really only needed to disperse as far as the next coral atoll or island, which tends to be as far as a planktonic coral larvae can disperse. Really remote islands probably had coconuts introduced relatively recently by early settlers.

Too much tylenol will destroy your liver. The dose makes the poison. I've been prescribed potassium chloride tablets before.
AI could be civilization-ending. Pretty much everything we do involves trust in others. Things like vaccine hesitancy can become worse to the point that people make increasingly life-threatening decisions. With AI-generated disinformation at scale fully able to drown out actual vetted information, it's possible we'll end up in an environment where even reasonable people simply don't know what decisions to make. Voting becomes problematic. Where to live, what products to buy, what to study, what job to take, all become difficult or impossible to decide intelligently.

I hope I'm wrong.

When a North American sees storks on their nests atop trees in Portugal he feels the same awe and excitement an European would feel seeing a moose crossing the highway in Canada.

Right! At some point, we could see somethinf like this in the Nix world— call it the Grand Unified Module Systwm— but right now, NixOS modules make NixOS-specific assumptions (e.g., total ownership of /etc., the use of systemd, etc.). Thus, use of such modules in other contexts (e.g., macOS in the case of Nix-Darwin, or Linux without running the whole show in the case of Home Manager) requires a distinct collection of modules.

There's been some experimental work towards this end for a long time, once under the banner of a 'service abstraction layer' for NixOS, and more recently Sander van der Burg's 'Nix Process Management Framework'. But right now, none of the mature module systems are 'universal' in the sense of being usable in all of the many environments Nix can run in.

If you were going to roll your own solution, imo using the latter of those efforts (nix-processmgmt, probably backed by supervisord) in a flake.nix or shell.nix seems like a sensible way to go. At the same time, I think using devbox to wrap all that config looks like a pretty nice way to go for teams or projects that don't already have much Nix buy-in.
Well the manual solution may be good enough! It always depends on the situation.

Copyright shouldn't last even one decade. Most of the profits of games and movies are made in the first few weeks. Give them like five years of protection in order to be exceptionally generous and allow for exactly 0 extensions.

That's it. That's how copyright should work in order to be tolerable. Anything else is pure rent seeking.

A quick search is showing bananas have ~400 mg potassium. The study goal was to consume 2600 mg daily potassium, or the equivalent of 6.5 bananas. Bananas also have ~100 kCals, so that would require consuming 600 kCals daily to try and hit the potassium target.

It is worth remembering that potassium was identified as a potential target from their potato diet experiment. Potatoes have ~900 mg potassium.

There is a probability for each term in the Drake equation, but I assume you mean that we don't have a way of judging what it is. I agree.

"there probably are" does not equal "I dunno, maybe" -- I'd argue it's a direct summarization of the nonsense that is the Drake equation, but just semantically it at least means greater than 0.5 probability, which we clearly can't establish.

If copyright licenses on works could be had for cheap, everyone benefits.

It's too early to get scared yet, we don't have any idea what's going to happen. In my opinion, a recession is most likely, but could range from nothing much to serious recession. But then who knows what will happen with Ukraine and possibly Taiwan; war tends to stimulate the economy, but also supply chain disruption. No point in worrying until there's something concrete to worry about. Besides, even in the Great Depression unemployment was only 30% or so, so there's a 2/3 chance you'll have a job in the realistic worst-case scenario. Even better chance if you are in software, it's not like there's been an inflation in good developers.

> losing money on every front

I assume you mean stocks/housing? I can't speak for housing, but regarding stocks, do you still think the company has good prospects? If so, now everything is cheaper. In fact, stocks have depreciated, so while your cash might not buy as many consumer goods, it will buy more stocks than before! I think the market still has at least 10% more to go, the S&P is only down from it's all-time pandemic-bubble high, and interest rates are 4% higher. There's been no "capitulation" as far as I can tell--two weeks ago the market went up after the Fed said that money is getting less valuable a little less quickly (that is, inflation is a little less large than before), because the Fed might stop raising rates. Well, maybe, but interest rates are still 4%... Anyway, when the market falls is a great time to buy! "Be greedy when others are fearful"

> So author life + 20 years to the first heir (exclusively) would work for me.

Yeah, of course a life+20 year monopoly on bits is great. For you. Instead of sitting down and working on more books so humanity can benefit, you get to sit down and collect rent from your past successes until you die. And then your children get to collect that rent for 20 years. You only need to strike gold once to be set for life and provide for children too.

Why should society subsidize this absurd rent seeking? It shouldn't. The social contract was "we'll pretend we can't easily copy this stuff so you can make money for a few years before it enters the public domain". This life time monopoly bullshit is a clear violation of this contract. A society whose public domain rights were robbed has zero incentive not to use libgen for everything.
Ketogenic or low carbohydrate diets greatly reduce the feeling of hunger and allows you to be burning fat directly most of the times. I assume this accounts for its effect on weight loss: even without counting calories directly, you are eating fewer calories.
