Thats fascinating and I appreciate knowing that.

About this:

> None of these steps need a reader, so perhaps they can form an initial and very inefficient life(almost-life) form.

May I ask, have you ever considered if any of these systems that you're researching or investigating are the product of deliberate engineering rather than random chance?

Theorising that high carbon steel can form by mistake in some scenarios is no where even remotely close to the information management necessary to spontaneously create a tesla.

And even a Tesla is no where remotely close to the organic cell. The smallest known functional, and most importantly, stable biological unit.

Even if rna is formed, what will read it?

A really good book about circadian rhythms called "Life Time" was just released. Fascinating read if you're interested in it and it goes into details about the way we got to the western model of sleep. And challenges some of the assumptions that sleep must be continuous throughout the night to be good sleep.

Was interesting to read that in the middle ages their literature and records referenced a "first sleep" and "second sleep" in which it was common for people to sleep after dinner, get up again, do some things, and then sleep till morning!

Neither did you.

Azure terrafy

If you deleted a resource block from a previously applied terraform declaration and reapplied it, how would the provider know that the resource in the environment needed to be deleted verses accepting it as an object not managed by terraform?

Where would it store it's history to make the diff against it?

Care to share?

Public tax funds academia through the govt grants that funds the research.

The NWT renders Heb 11:1 as "Faith is the assured expectation of what is hoped for, the evident demonstration* of realities that are not seen."

(*Or “convincing evidence.”)

Those with faith have proof or evidence that can be used to demonstrate or to back up that faith. It's not blind.

>Undoubtedly much of it could be pruned out with no undesirable result

Such hubris as this is what led us to:

- define DNA we didn't and still don't understand as useless "junk"

- call the appendix a useless vestigial organ

- declared "silenced" b-cells useless

The list goes on and on and on... When will somebody compile a list of how often science is wrong just to slap the arrogance out of people before they cost more time and lives with such reckless and impatient reasoning?

It's interesting how the pendulum of ideas swings back and forth over history, similar problems arise and similar solutions to them resurface also. It would be great to see that on some kind go graph or timeline.

The book of proverbs is worth a read if you're interested in this type of father to son wisdom.

Have you considered an alternative world view? While it's true that we experience nothing while we die, there are good reasons to believe that that this life we have on Earth isn't accurately explained by purely materialistic means.

Most people think of heaven when it comes to the Bible's view of life after death, but it speaks more about a resurrection from the dead for the vast majority of people who die, to live forever on a paradise Earth.

There is something in us that makes us yearn for more than the short lives we have now (hardly anybody would choose to die if they had good health under normal circumstances), so these do resonate with us more than a purely materialistic world view, which has ostensibly left people with lack of contentment and sense of purpose.

Is the life of one innocent person an acceptable price for success?

Or all life on Earth was designed by the same engineer. Which would explain the similarities in components and designs.

Its not even a full clue, it's a 'possible clue'.

The weasel word usage of OoL media hype train is so cringe inducing once you notice it.

It's in the OP

I'm honestly taken aback by how middle of the road you are about that situation.

In what world is it a good thing that instead of accepting an offer to provide a needed service that you're in the business of, you refuse the offer and sue/lobby the requester into submission out of spite.

This world is so, so broken.

I'm not convinced that he's not being raked over the coals just for finding and executing a legal way to extort insurance companies for more money than they want to spend.

Wikipedia isn't a "global source of truth" anyway, so i'm not sure what they're worried about. They've got serious biases and underrepresentation, and they're kind of under the control of a cabal of elite Wikipedian feudal lords who shove out the majority of outsider attempts to introduce content that doesn't fit their worldview.

Hopefully they'll let the farmers repair them when they inevitably stop working at some point.

What a time to be alive!

Hospitals do this with the flu vaccine as well, every year they require employees to get vaccinated, the employees don't, so they have to fire them because the regulatory penalties aren't worth it, even at the cost of the the brightest researcher or doctor. They usually hire them back after they get vaccinated.

Genes themselves aren't sentient or self aware, they themselves don't want anything, they can't be described as feeling purpose or direction.

DNA is an inert chemical chain encoded with linear and non linear data which is acted upon and maintained by nano machines manufactured with the instructions it contains, which do you think came first?

I suppose if an explicit declaration of authorship is the only thing acceptable to you then you could always see the opening statements of many of the Bible's books. They're quite clear about who composed their contents.

Nehemiah 1:1 "The words of Nehemiah..."

Isaiah 1:1 "The visions of Isaiah..."

Joel 1:1 "The word of Jehovah came to Joel..."

But most Bible writers acknowledged that they wrote in the name of Jehovah, the God of the Bible, and that they were guided by him.

Some of the many examples: Amos 1:1 "The words of Amos..." then Amos 1:3 "This is what Jehovah says..."

Micah 1:1 "The word of Jehovah that came to Micah" then Micah 2:3 "Therefore this is what Jehovah says:..."

Nahum 1:1 "A pronouncement against ninevah: The book of the visions of Nahum..." then Naham 1:12 "This is what Jehovah says:..."

If its true that as they say, they're all receiving instructions from the same source (God), then the author of the Bible's message is God, not the 40 men who were used to write it over 1600 years in their own styles.

Of course you'd have to believe that were true, and I'd contend that there are good reasons to. On the site I linked before, there are some good resources for anybody interested in learning about what the Bible actually teaches and how to apply its wisdom to make your life better. Speaking from personal experience, it works, it's quite incredible.

> Please provide two examples from the Bible of clear and explicit claims about it's "author"

Not the op but here are some claims made by the Bible about its origin.

2 Tim 3:16 "All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness"

2 peter 1:20-21 "20 For you know this first, that no prophecy of Scripture springs from any private interpretation. 21 For prophecy was at no time brought by man’s will, but men spoke from God as they were moved by holy spirit."

Exodus 34:27 "27 Jehovah went on to say to Moses: “You are to write down these words, because in accordance with these words, I am making a covenant with you and with Israel.”

The Bible does mention that it's been written under divine inspiration at God's request. By the hand of men, but motivated and helped by holy spirit, as the scriptures say.

If interested, have a look at some of the frequently asked questions about the Bible that the Bible answers itself. This website uses only the Bible itself to answer questions about the Bible, which is a refreshing take.

I'm sure you'll find it informative.

The reason the situation is the way it is now is precisely because the code being made easy for non-coders increased the popularity and reach of the products. Probably because non-coders also found it easy to pick up and start working with it.

> Maintaining existing services

Everything a capitalist market teaches us is against this, if they don't obsolete themselves before somebody else can then they will fall into obscurity and ultimately lose what they've built, just like other companies before it who didn't.

FAANGS companies aren't at fault for when they're winning a game which is rigged from the start.
