at this point it is an old problem set, the solutions are everywhere and easy to find, at the very least for the first 100 problems. for those problems (at the very least) it is the responsibility of the participant to not look at solutions

On HN, if a post is paywalled, and someone posts a link in the comments that is similar to the post, or to archive, then in my experience 100% of the time it's been an unpaywalled version. Doesn't need any explanation on HN

I wonder if saying that "it's all encoded in DNA (which is only 6 billion bits)" is accurate. Every time life (considering only humans for now, to simplify) arises, in addition to the DNA (the "code"), you also have

I see your reasoning but disagree with it being an example of the shirky principle. Even once you get "really fit" you don't stop needing the gym, so I don't think "prolonging the need for the gym" is something
