> Then there are concerns about the push to select for non-disease-related traits, such as intelligence or athletic ability.

What the fuck?

We finally have the capability to extract the best possible sample of a couple's genetics - to, over generations, actively remove unfit traits from our genome without having to kill any living people - and this is how we greet the future? How ungrateful and utterly disgusting!

> In the West, PGD still raises fears about the creation of an elite genetic class,

Oh, boo fucking hoo. We make all kinds of investments whose payoff is self-improvement; running shoes, education, internships. This is no different! And in this particular case, the effect is slow enough that "I can't afford it; perhaps my children could, but they'll just be outcompeted by superhumans." is fucking bullshit.

> and critics talk of a slippery slope towards eugenics, a word that elicits thoughts of Nazi Germany and racial cleansing.

This insinuates that we would murder living people over having non-artificially-selected genes. Why would this be considered necessary? We don't have any deontological directive that all of humanity must have the best genes immediately. (The Nazis might have; or at least, such a directive would produce Nazi-like behavior.)

On the other hand, if, to avoid having "genetic inequality", our nanny state decides that everyone should use IVF with their embryo pre-selected if they wish to reproduce at all ... that specific policy could be interpreted as "eugenic". So ... pick your poison, I guess? (Personally, I prefer the one that favors individuals' freedom to choose what they want.)

I think that's a natural place where our tooling will evolve to - a lot of things that aren't caught in an automated way, after being trained with real review, will. There's no replacement for the human component of review though, and we believe that by allowing reviewers repeated access to the project, that they will gain the context necessary.

Yes, the ABV raises or lowers depending on temperature and humidity. The Stagg almost certainly went in at 125 proof (barrel entry proof), so it got a big boost during the considerable aging process.

I've heard descriptions (from the producers) of barrels that gained / lost proof depending on what floor of the warehouse they were stored on. Pretty neat.
Actually you can't mark Down syndrome elimination as eugenics, because Down syndrome sufferers are infertile (I guess) and thus unable to contribute in "-genics" either way.

I would say, Down syndrome elimination is anti-eugenics, because people with genetic predisposition for Down syndrome will provide more non-Down offspring.

Anyway, I've never seen any discussion about eugenics, except "the Bogeyman did it!"
Eugenics aversion is something forced on the society from above.
Yes, I read the article. I also don't live in Silicon Valley.

I don't think it's "being reported as though a cure for Down syndrome has been found". That's the spin the National Review article puts on it. Here are the first two paragraphs of the quoted CBS article:

> With the rise of prenatal screening tests across Europe and the United States, the number of babies born with Down syndrome has significantly decreased, but few countries have come as close to eradicating Down syndrome births as Iceland.

> Since prenatal screening tests were introduced in Iceland in the early 2000s, the vast majority of women -- close to 100 percent -- who received a positive test for Down syndrome terminated their pregnancy.

It's pretty clear that they're not talking about a cure. How is this a bad thing at all? How is this "eugenics"? Down syndrome is a serious, debilitating genetic disorder with no benefits in any sense. Why do we want it to exist? I'm not really seeing an argument against this besides the usual pro-life positions.

Sure, but the least you can do is compare averages. IME, the average Electron app is a memory hogging piece of battery exhausting garbage. Cherrypicking outliers to make the case is, to say the least, misleading.

Very cool.

I think 1 request per minute is way too low for any sort of usage, though. That made me dismiss the project immediately, ex. I won't even try it because I would never be able to use it in production anyway.

If I was you, I wouldn't offer a free tier at all if you can't handle a standard load (30,000/day+), and just offer a 14-day trial.

I would base tiers on the number of requests with a minimum of 30,000/day, but most importantly on the amount of data you receive: tier 1 only the country, tier 2 GMT offset and everything else.

I don't think it's a product that needs support, it's easy and once I set it up I'll never touch it again, so I would not pay premium for support.

Good luck, congrats on releasing!
That's easy to say but if you look at CAN it's just a set of small serial frames over RS-485 designed to be usable by an 8-bit (or smaller) processor. Like a simple SPI/TWI bus, but off-board.

Sure, I am upset that it's not more secure, as I am about the same thing with SCADA and (shudder) MODBUS, but I recognize where how the problems emerged: these busses are, by current standards, old.

So, in the case of the aforementioned Stagg, the distillate went into the barrels at 125 proof, and came out at 144. Clearly, the angel's share preferred to take water over distillate.

That said, the yield was horrible -- 10-15 gallons of spirit per barrel out of an initial barrel capacity of 55 gallons.

That said, I question whether humidity has as much to do with it as atmospheric pressure does. The benefits of barreling something like bourbon in a place like Kentucky is that they have 4 full seasons, and the variance in atmospheric pressure from cold winter to hot summer creates something of a capillary effect in the distillate -- as the weather gets hotter (and maybe more humid) the distillate pushes into the barrels, but pulls out during the cooler months.

Just putting the barrels in a hot place for its entire aging process might accelerate the aging, or it might mean that because it loses the breathing effect, it might extract more of the tannins and less desirable elements from the barrels.

Indeed, it's instead a symptom of the software bloat that the OP discusses. Hardware is quite literally millions of times more powerful than it was 25 years ago, but software is slower.

Many of the most egregious examples of this happen to be on the web because a) it involves an additional layer of abstraction, relative to OS-native applications; b) designers are involved more in web apps than native apps, and they refuse to use native browser widgets, which are performant; and c) for a handful of reasons web development culture is biased towards building on top of existing libraries, which results in excessive layers of abstraction.

And then you add the networking layer (and for many web apps having your data "in the cloud" adds very little beyond what a native app provides even without background data syncing), and add seconds to every tiny interaction that used to seem instantaneous.
Thanks for the insight. We'll definitely be clearing up the pricing packages.

Yes and no. With some cancers like prostate cancers, we're finding and treating cancers which would never kill the patient. And the deadliest cancers are the ones that grow quickly, quickly enough that early detection is extremely difficult.

For other kinds of cancers, like cervical cancer, which grows extremely slowly, early detection is already proven to be a lifesaver.
Absolutely. In fact, I'd say it is more important to follow it yourself, because:

1. you can exert more control over yourself

Colonists on Mars would have to build almost everything. But is there anything stopping them from building parks and forests? It will be tremendously difficult but they absolutely will do it, it's human nature. What they miss, they'll build. They'll spend much of the first years building up the rudiments of industry. Methane and Oxygen production will be there from day one. They'll start by mining water ice to allow them to produce arbitrary amounts of methane, oxygen, water, Hydrogen, and carbon monoxide. They'll use that to kickstart other industrial infrastructure like production of iron/steel, glass, concrete, plastic, etc. All of which can begin in only a handful of years past the initial colonization and get going with a minimal amount of capital equipment. They'll move on to expanding their habitat, building greenhouses, growing food. And from there they will increase the carrying capacity of their habitat(s) and the capabilities of their industrial base continually. Then it's just a matter of time until they have the ability to build parks and forests, things they'll want to get started on sooner rather than later.

They won't have the redwoods or the amazon rainforest but they'll have lakes to swim in and trees to walk under.
He says 1/25 people in the general population are sociopaths.

It would be interesting to know whether that ratio changes as power increases. Maybe execs are closer to 1/10th because sociopaths would both be attracted to control and their lack of scruples is a great advantage.

Of course, if a lot of people in power are sociopaths, than that's a huge drag on any social system assuming positive intent.

It may be worth noting that, at a lot of schools CS was (is?) part of the math department as opposed to engineering. It's plausible to me that as CS became more about programming (and brought a lot of associated cultural baggage with it), people who were in CS essentially for pure math reasons switched out of CS.

Something tied to what you said that is often not appreciated by people is that early detection can actually cause harm. In the example you gave of slow growing prostate cancers, in many cases people will now undergo treatment due to the early detection and the treatment winds up being far worse than the cancer itself would ever have been.

As the technology improves it's getting better at making predictions on the severity of the cancer and that can be used to guide treatment, or lack thereof. It's still far from perfect however.
No details have been released. One potential method would involve getting low level code execution on the SEP, but seeing as this is the iPhone 5s, it is also possible they have low level code execution on the main AP and are able to access SEP address space to feed it the encrypted keybag in order to decrypt (On iOS devices, you cannot extract the GID key from devices, so you instead need to access the crypto coprocessor(s) and feed it content which you'd like to decrypt)

One of the persons featured in a Rootbocks campaign is white nationalist leader Matthew Heimbach, known as the guy who attacked a girl at a Trump rally[1].

Rootbocks is run by NathanDamigo, a white nationalist who has previously engaged in violence[2] where he assaulted a woman at a rally. He is another leader of yet another white nationalist group Identity Evropa, one of the groups present in Charlottesville.

Nathan is unhappy at the moment due to payment processors cutting them off[3].

I've emailed Coinbase but have received the "It may take a few days for a response" auto respond.. Is there any better way to contact to Coinbase? They likely want to start preserving evidence regarding the successfully funded campaigns that brought the Nazis to Virginia.

The fear is all wrapped up in, what happens when they go beyond diseases. We know some areas of the world will. The article states some of the oddities, China forbids sex selection while in the US its accepted as normal.

So when it hits traits that are more sensitive, protected, and similar, is where people are afraid to go. What is parents decide they want their children to favor one parents race to the exclusion of the other? It will be solvable. What is someone comes up for a hetero test if such a thing is even possible? What about selection for a known disability on purpose, the article stated that a deaf couple used the process to produce a child with just that trait.

So yes it is an awesome step forward to creating a healthy society but we must recognize that somewhere limits will need to be established and allow society to mature to accept broadening of the limits
