  • Make it 12x the lowest paid by hourly rate. Then maybe it’s 32 hours, or less, but you’ll be paid no more than 12x less than the highest paid employee on an hourly basis.

    Also, the hourly wage should include all compensation, including benefits and stock options, so they don’t try to stuff their benefit and stock packages (eg private plane and company car).

    Also, tax all wealth above 20x the median wealth of the nearest 100,000 people at 90%.


  • I think it’s okay, I made a comment about the license first! It’s good discussion. I certainly like everything being copyleft, but I also get why people who make a contribution (an extension or otherwise) might want to license it differently. Ultimately whoever does the work gets to decide on the license — closed source I’ll never touch, extension or otherwise, but I’m lenient on open source.



  • Hey some folks responded here which is great! For me, I think wiki and tracker are perfect like someone else mentioned, because a lot of folks without accounts can still access the knowledge created. The hard part is moderating of course. I’m not sure there is a perfect solution.

    Ultimately, you’re producing something cool for the community and you get to set the terms for that; if discord is easy and sustainable, I prefer that to you doing anything else that isn’t sustainable to see the project through as long and vibrantly as you can. So in that sense just choose what makes sense.

    So in short: do what makes sense for you and if one of the alternatives listed (maybe wiki it seems? That would be cool with me) works then that’s great!

    I guess I’ll also plug forgejo or codeberg at this time haha

    Edit: I’ll also say, more folks here for discussion is cool too, and good to have you posting and hope to see more discussion around it in the future here!

    Servo is a web browser rendering engine written in Rust, with WebGL and WebGPU support, and adaptable to desktop, mobile, and embedded applications.

    Essentially it is an alternative to chromium based web browser engines. The other (major) web browser engines are WebKit for iOS and Gecko for Firefox. You can see a list at Wikipedia.


  • When a cell senses the damage, one of the substances it produces is a protein called c-GAS. That plays several roles, but what was of interest to these scientists is that in humans, it interferes with and hampers the process by which DNA is knitted back together.

    Scientists think that this interference could promote cancer and shorten our lifespan.

    In naked mole rats though, the researchers found that the exact same protein does the opposite. It helps the body mend strands of DNA and keeps the genetic code in each cell intact.

    They don’t know why or how yet for the mole rat using the same pathway in a different way.


  • Yeah this is mostly fud. People read how folks on farms have fewer infections and have better health outcomes and take things way too far.

    People on farms have greater and more diverse gut microflora (commensals as they’re called sometimes). This is in part because of exposure to animals and nature, and also possibly in part due to lower levels of pro inflammatory things you might find in cities (think, air pollution, microplastics [they of course have them too now]).

    Good bacteria is good for you. Bad bacteria is bad for you. Viruses will mess you up and the best protection is not infection but vaccines. People truly believe that infections make their immune system stronger. That’s almost surely not true. The only thing that really makes you stronger are vaccines and getting a huge amount and diversity of good microflora.

    If we can solve the probiotic space really well (which is difficult, really fecal transfer seems to be the only reliable method at this point), then really there is zero concern about over sanitation. Even as it is. There shouldn’t be that much concern about it.


  • I’m not sure. Either they’re unable to completely remove all noise (meaning the rest wasn’t done in absolute 0 photon space, only that when we pulse a photon a person can detect that there was a photon in an otherwise very low photon environment; that is, there may be some 10s of photons, but when the researchers release their control photon from the crystal, it is perceptible above that background), or perhaps they’re talking about neurological noise in the biological circuits that fire. My guess is the former.

    lol same s10 chip as well.

    I get that it probably has plenty of power, but there’s just something odd about paying 799 for a year old processor that’s in literally the 249 dollar watch.

    I’ll probably be looking for another watch at this stage, the battery life on my existing Apple Watch is dismal and only the (overpriced in my opinion) ultra has any ability to compete there.
