I'm not 100% comfortable with the trisomy thing, but I understand why people do it. The "moral difference" is primarily one of scale. Choosing to abort or not, in one particular case, is a human decision. That's even true of abortions motivated by "less moral" factors like economics or convenience. Those are still human decisions.

Deliberately aborting 99 out of 100 or 999 out of 1000 or whatever, that's not how humans interact with each other. That's the sort of decision-making I reserve for cattle or other livestock. (Although we wouldn't make much money if we were so Procrustean in our evaluation...) In that sphere, it's considered immoral by lots of perfectly sane people.

I'm not saying that this practice will never be normalized and accepted by most people. I am saying that if researchers try a little harder and develop methods with the same results but less abortion, the world will be a better place.

Is it appropriate to pretend that the title of a scholarly article, rather than, say, a blog post, is something other than what it actually is? I understand the point of badpun (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17489430 )'s helpful suggestion, but this is a scholarly work—viz.,

> This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in JOURNAL OF SLAVIC MILITARY STUDIES Volume 30 Issue 2 on 27th April 2017

—where one can expect that the choice of language is careful and significant, and it's called "The Influence of Railways on Military Operations in the Russo-German War 1941–1945", not what the current headline says it's called (Influence of Railways on Military Operations in the Soviet-German War 1941-45).

(With that said, let me be the first top-level thread to comment on something other than the title. I haven't read the article yet, but it's a fascinating topic and I look forward to doing so!)

> having access to iPad helped my daughter to learn way more than I thought she could at that age (e. g. English names for colors; count in English and the alphabet song — before she even was three)

While that may sound awesome, I'm not so sure it's better in the long term. Your daughter would've learned the English names of colors and the alphabet eventually anyway. OTOH using phones and pads changes our brains, making us worse and worse at keeping our focus. We become addicted to that something is always changing or moving until reading a book becomes hard. I'd rather start from the other side, reading a lot of books for the kids, letting them learn at a slower rate but with retained ability to focus.
History has a consequence to current activity. Take China. They had to open their borders in 19th century and then saw the British flood the market with opium and thus making millions of addicted chinese. Years of shame that all Chinese still remember, and that's why they don't allow single western companies come and sell any product. They know western companies have a history of abuse and won't let history repeat twice

Heat engines generate work (power) through the movement of heat from hot to cold. Conventional systems (steam turbines, Stirling engines, regular thermoelectric generators) require a temperature difference of much higher than 5C between hot and cold, which limits the situations they can be used in. This apparently can work at much lower temperature differences than other systems while generating 'useful' amount of work.

I was surprised to see that this uses React without Redux for state management. I'm aware that Redux is a separate, optional, codebase, but from how people have been talking, it seemed like just about everyone was Redux or bust.

Well it strikes me as well that some simple parts of Google proposition with their proud impact on hiring the best, smartest programmers and implementing cutting-edge AI work so poorly.

* I have stopped using Google News and suggested articles because it is such a downhill slope. You get lower and lower quality news sources (I am always thinking Google simply gets more revenues from crap echo news sites) and less and less relevant to your interests.

* Google having so much data on me for so long should be aware that I am male. However Google Keyboard keeps suggesting female forms when I type. Even if they weren't aware of my gender the suggestion engine should learn that quickly simply noticing that I am rejecting female form.

* Google Maps loves to show results from the other side of the planet rather then something less relevant but close to my location.

I could keep going.
As I see it, this is good for low power iOT devices that are installed in remote / hard to reach areas (say underground etc. ..). A small temperature difference could produce power enough to run the device without any battery.

Heart Pacemaker require around 10uWatt and this new power source seems to provide 12uWatt for 1 cm2. If temperature difference could be maintained, then could provide a low weight, low power source that do not require changing battery.

The market can't solve solve the quality problem, that's a fantasy.

Sw quality is so poor across the board that there is almost no one producing high quality, reliable software. My bloody phone can't properly select text in this box for example.

Sw companies have optimised their production for decades to develop software that's just good enough to ensure profit and they've trained customers to expect and accept poor quality.

Is anyone surprised when Windows reboots for updates in the middle of an important presentation? No, that's how Windows works.

Companies will even reduce quality to improve profits and still get away with it if the customers don't notice, don't understand or are too apathetic to take action.

Often there is no action to take that will sufficiently punish the offending company.

Security is a great example: it's been bad for so long that core pieces of technology are fundamentally insecure and can't be significantly improved without total rewrites. Punishing developers and companies would result in a collapse of commercial software development, so humanity collectively accepts that software is by nature insecure.
This is interesting. I hope we're moving towards other consensus algorithm. Not sure if that's going to happen (or is even possible) with bitcoin, but alts definitely have room to innovate here.
How about the context of watching the nightly news where it's common to add that the explosion was a home made fertiliser bomb to a report of some amateur terrorist? No need of knowing any additional process, or if there even is any, or have heard of Fritz Haber and his discoveries.

How is it that inverse seems to be used as "multiplicative inverse" in this context? It seems like a really ambiguous term, because it could also be interpreted as either:

inverse of the square root (which is just the squaring operation), or

the inverse of some other binary operator, like addition or anything else...

The fail rate of startups isn't necessarily higher. Just that in traditional startup land stupid ideas don't get funded that easily.
Good point about scale. Tbh. I doubt that more than an 1/10 ratio is going to be feasible due to limits given from female biology. If people start doing that, something like CRISPR will soon be employed to fix such issues directly - if the west doesn’t allow it, people will simply travel to a country that will. For families with severe disorders, the cost of doing so will be much lower than to just take the chances with nature, so I think there’s going to be sort of a price balance for each illness. The main risk IMO is a Gattaca-style dystopia.

My in laws do this thing were children are mostly ignored. When adults are talking or watching tv, the adults should not be interrupted. In practice they ignore other adults most of the time too. Very boarish, dysfunctional people in general. Conversations with them are very one sided and shallow. So kudos to you for not relagating the kid to non-person status like that.

One of the things we focus on is taking turns, giving other people the opportunity to talk, and not interrupting each other. I thinks it's easier with multiples because they tend to regulate this among themselves. Like our two will object if they're interrupted, especially the littler one.

Don't a lot of image sensors pick up infrared? I don't have any IR remotes to test modern stuff with, but I know my Galaxy S5 and every phone and point and shoot camera I had before that would register the light from IR remotes.

The total power of the signal of a wifi router is around 2W. (Should I multiply it by x2 or x3 to power the internal system, the blinking leds, heat loss, ...?)

For 2W you need ~20m² (~200sqft). That is the size of two rooms. Probably using the surface of your whole roof you can get 4W or 5W.

The point of the video is that dairy farms generate surplus male calves, which have to be disposed of somehow. The male calves may be treated well when they're being raised but it's those very same male calves that are often shipped abroad from countries like Germany to meet the fate you see there. This is an intrinsic part of the dairy business because cows must be kept pregnant to produce milk. I think you should watch the whole thing because you missed the point.

At least in the US, 80% of the milk sold is from factory farms, where cows are certainly not treated well.

It is the inverse of the square root. If you want to normalise a vector, you divide the components by the length. The length is the sqrt of the sum squares (Pythagoras). Divide is more expensive than multiply. So get the inverse sqrt of the sum of the squared components, then multiply the components by the inverse sqrt.

I wonder if this could be used to power an electric recovery generator in a Internal Combustion Engine in hybrid applications. If my back of the envelope calculations are correct a typical 2 litre engine exhausts over 1000 litres of exhaust gasses at ~300c per minute. A fair amount of energy is lost to the atmosphere this way.

In combined cycle power plants they use the exhaust gasses of a turbine engine to power a secondary steam power plant. This obviously would work in a car if it weren't for the huge complexity and cost.
> This is at best just needlessly pedantic.

I disagree.

An article with chemical formulae, discussing melting vs combustion temperatures, ratios of elements within the compound correlating to explosive effects... and they muddle mixture with compound - this is needlessly lax terminology choice.

I don't think the number of 'people not understanding the article' would decrease if they'd used the right word there.

This. I studied German for six years in school and have yet to complete a successful conversation. I worked as a volunteer in a children's home in Thailand for a couple of months and while far from fluent in Thai, I can manage most situations.

I very firmly believe that languages are taught the wrong way in school. There's too much focus on grammar but not enough of getting a "feel" for the language. You need to soak in it for that. You shouldn't need to think about how to say something (but that's what German is to me, whenever I try to say things the "is it accusative or dative?"-question pops up in my mind).

Needing to think about how to say what you want to say is like needing to think about how to move your feet in order to walk.

TNT is still used for military explosives primarily because it's A) pretty darn powerful and B) one of the few explosives that works well with molten casting, the latter is especially important for ease of manufacturing and more importantly when you need a very specific explosive geometry for things like shape charges, fragmenting munitions and nuclear warheads.

But it depends on the application, RDX and PETN are often uses for demolition, mines and such applications because they can be easily stabilized in a polymer, however that also makes their end PBX form much less powerful.
