In case anyone wonders over the low vote count, for me just now, the link only briefly shows the article before swapping it for a paywall.
just use ublock or noscript (why does that even have to be said on HN?)

I actually find your comment very useful and therefore upvoted it.

Nod. Thus my comment, mostly aimed at the poster, that the (then) absence of votes/comments/engagement shouldn't necessarily be taken as lack of HN interest, but might reflect paywall friction. I could have been more clear, but was thinking more of supporting a dead post's postmortem, than of creating confusion on a subsequently active post. Tnx.

Strange. It is working for me without pay wall.

So it might be that life started inside rocks (with tiny amounts of water) deep underground and not in the water on the surface.
Interesting. The water they speak of is also known as "primary water", which is a controversial term.
