There does not seem to be two different cultures in this respect though. This guy is very well known in Western circles and consulted with US scientists on ethics questions. This guy's University in China has condemned what he did.

In fact his actions are directly contrary to his own statements and presentations on the ethics of using this techniques on humans. See item 9 in the article. A paper by him on the ethics of this question, written some time ago and in a lengthy review process, was even published in The CRISPR Journal just 2 days after the story broke. His actions directly violate his stated principles in the journal.
> That being said, it's amazing a CMS with such a market share and devmind seems to be so constrained in resources.

That’s what happens when you don’t have a bunch of investors throwing money at you to pay for a growth team that can figure out how to optimize every second of user engagement to maximize ad revenue.

It is a major problem in the software landscape today, and there is no obvious solution.
You're still confusing disease and epidemics.
Yeah.

That's why I'm trying to figure out why would even fight China trying to replace us? Surely the bigger issue would be if they only wished to sit back and make money for China without helping anyone else do anything?
> People making a big stink out of ethical concerns virtually ensure that this stuff is going to happen first in a place with the least concern for ethics. China seems to be where the action is on this front.

What's the alternative, because this is a big deal. Even if we ignore where this is going eventually which will be designer babies there's still the issue that when you run this experiment you're creating a person with a permanently altered genome, in many cases that edit will be heritable and there's no way we know of to fix this other than in embryos so if it goes wrong the best that can be offered is palliative care. Simply because other places will be unethical isn't a reason to lower the ethical bar in places with standards.

I haven't lost "accountability" for myself, in a sense "it" has morphed into awareness of certainty of how every little thing alters the assigned story of everyone. It has made me a lot more forgiving to others & myself, with less anxiety and better mental health. I believe it has brought me clearer analysis of my thinking patterns.

Basically, I think I'm closer to my perfect self because I understand better to why my actions are taken and how I'm controlled by what is around me on the highest level obtainable. Similar to how a god would perceive anything if one existed and is truly omniscient.

I'm leaning towards the idea, "people are better humans when understanding free will doesn't exist" and how there is "no control" over anything. I think a lot of people who haven't lived with my mindset for an extended period of time, dismiss the health benefits by assuming it's bad because you will feel like you need to be at fault or in control for joy to exist or meaning. I don't believe for a second that is the case.

I'm still able to have happy moments. I would say I'm more grateful and acknowledging of them when they happen. I likely would be dead by suicide if I didn't think the way I do now but I still contemplate suicide with likelihood because gender dysphoria sucks when born in the time period I was without getting help. So I don't think understanding there is no free brings suicide and really whatever happens was fate when understanding determinism. I do 100% believe life is not meaningless from me understanding determinism and truly everyone fills a purpose in progressing society or even retracting progress. Freedom isn't necessary and will never exist.
In the case of furniture and other lower tech industries (clothing & textiles too), when Chinese products got slapped with tariffs production shifted to a different off-shore countries (Vietnam, Bangladesh, etc). The structural disadvantages that American manufacturing has doesn't go away, and honestly how many trade secrets are there to producing furniture. It's not like they don't have furniture already in the rest of the world.
"The most prevalent types of HIV prevalent in Asia are the T-tropic X4 strain "
Great comments.
There is (at least there was when I followed this more than a decade ago) some data to support that x4 tropic HIV is more aggressive/pathogenic, so forcing the infection towards x4 tropism by removing CCR5 may increase the virulence of the infection.(with some caveats on this).
Independent of that. This is mind-blowingly unethical. At very least, He should be ostracized and provided no opportunity to do science, let alone medicine.

I've been exploring the world of UI/UX recently, and I enjoy it.

It would be helpful to pickup a design tool. I've used figma and sketch, but I'm finding figma to be really helpful.

------------------------------------------------------------------

How I think of things is like this:

1. Either my entire day is dedicated to design

2. Or its dedicated to programming

------------------------------------------------------------------

I find it difficult to swap between design / programming frequently. One requires creativity / looking at lots of things for inspiration. The other requires a more logical mindset.

I would go further with this analogy, there's (4) main roles in webapp development

(1) UI/UX/Design

(2) Frontend Frameworking (React,HTML/CSS/JS/mocking things up, etc)

(3) Backend development (Firebase, nodeJS, etc)

(4) Database development / sysadmin / everything else

Try and only focus on one or two or those things everyday. You can skip (1) if you are emulating a website or building something with a heavy backend MVP. (3) and (4) can be mostly skipped if making a small project in firebase. (2) can be skipped if you use a CSS framework, etc.
Well, you missed out on an interesting article. And also I stopped reading your comment when you failed to capitalise "this" at the beginning of a sentence.
This is definitely a problem for a lot of people. When I was in grad school, I used to go to Hackathons a lot, build a cool working backend, but a ugly front end which just does the job and I never won anything until I forced myself to learn Angular and used bootstrap themes to scaffold a basic UI/UX.

Unless you have a friend who happens to be a front end engineer and who wants to work on side projects along with you, the best solution is to learn just enough to get by. Learn react or angular and learn how to customize existing free themes available out there.
I thought that this was to be immune from one of the parent's infection. (I haven't read this article though so maybe my info is outdated).
The mistake that a lot of people make is thinking that it's a code/framework/tech problem it isn't.

Start by putting the technology aside, it only serves to bring your idea to life. Which bring us to the ideas...

Ideas are never 100% original. I challenge you to imagine an object of a shape and color not made from anything you've ever seen... it's impossible. What I'm saying is that you need to take inspiration from various sources. From this you'll be able to bring these elements together in a new way.

So I'd suggest looking at http://collectui.com/ and https://colorhunt.co/ to start.

Come up with a design in Illustrator/Designer and pretend HTML CSS REACT etc don't exist (ignore them).

Finally look at what you have created and realise you can bring that to life using literally any technology you like.

Mock out your components in HTML CSS.

create react/vue/angular components and port your previous HTML/CSS into these.

And Voila!

The scientist's name is He (pronounced like "hey", I presume). He's is the correct possessive form, not his.

Yes, that the name is the same as English's third-plural masculine singular is confusing.
Hey, I'm familiar with VS Code language extensions. Depending on your language you may or may not be able to do this. The controls you have are:

- increaseIndentPattern: If a line matches this pattern, then all the lines after it should be indented once (until another rule matches).

- decreaseIndentPattern: If a line matches this pattern, then all the lines after it should be unindented once (until another rule matches).

- indentNextLinePattern: If a line matches this pattern, then only the next line after it should be indented once.

- unIndentedLinePattern: If a line matches this pattern, then its indentation should not be changed and it should not be evaluated against the other rules.

They are all regex patterns. If you think your language would let you do that, I can try and throw together something for you.
I've been a software engineer 10 years. There is in fact no correlation between age started programming and programming aptitude, if taken for granted that the person can code at all in adulthood. (There is a great correlation between never coding as a child and never coding as an adult). I'll admit that I'm talking about people who are over 30 today, so that when they learned as children, it would have been of the calculator project and lighting DELs in basic variety, and maybe kids today can learn some of the higher level more directly work-relevant frameworks like React.

But still. Some of the best people I know when it comes to making up algorithms for cutting edge problems, had definitely reached their adult height when they first learned what a compiler was.

(I will grant I don't know any really good programmer who started coding at e.g., 40. But there are relatively few people who change careers at 40, so my sample size is very small. )
> It does not follow. Similar: even in "employment-at-will" jurisdictions, where you can fire anyone at any time without giving justifications, you are not allowed to fire someone for a slew of protected reasons, such as becoming a whistleblower, their sex/age/sexual orientation/race, or joining a union.

...which is a contradiction! Legislation like that arises through conflicting requirements coming from different directions. So, if you want to fire someone based on their race, you must not disclose it, but you can still do it. It obviously doesn't make sense, it just happens to be the law.

I'm not talking about the law anyway, I'm talking about ethics. Really the argument I am making is that maybe abortion for any reason isn't ethically defensible, but if it is, then all kinds of other things become defensible on that platform.
Very likely China will view the US' "world police" strategy the same way the US viewed the later period British Empire.

They'll dabble, because of the perceived prestige but probably not really put weight behind it. They'll find something that works (maybe this new silk road) and then rinse-repeat until it doesn't. In time, china will have their own disfunctional, sprawling global dominance machinery..

> There is no evidence for the 'Jews killed Jesus' meme that has been doing the rounds for almost two millennia.

Err, it's in the Bible? I mean if you believe Jesus existed and that the New Testament is an accurate recollection of his life, then Jesus (who was himself Jewish) was indeed killed at the request of the Jewish authorities at the time (not that it justifies modern antisemitism in any way obviously).

But yeah, weird that you'd mention that specifically! There are a lot more absurd memes circulating about Jews (elders of zion, etc.) than the "Jews killed Jesus" meme, which did actually happen (if you believe in the veracity of the New Testament).
>I was also wondering, what is so bad about being the consumer nation, when our currency is in great demand around the world?

The reason the dollar is in great demand is that it's backed up by American political and financial clout and force projection capabilities. If that ceases to be the case then demand for US currency collapses.
Implicit proxying and inspection has always been a farce when it comes to "locking down clients". If you want to control traffic to clients you operate you should do it as an explicit proxy. If you want to control traffic to clients you don't operate it's not actually possible to both respect the client and inspect the traffic enough to meet security goals.

This tradeoff has always been true but everyone settled on the "good enough" that means security isn't actually strong, clients aren't actually treated as internal or external, and protocols are ossified because the FW expects wxyz to implement the above two failures.

Right, and therefore consciousness is unexplainable by science, because as far as science is concerned it doesn't even exist. There is no measurement that can be made to determine, for instance, if AlphaGo is a thinking, conscious mind, or merely an advanced algorithm. In scientific terms, there is no meaningful distinction.

To me anything that affects the visuals of the code without the semantics is a formatting issue -- so tabs vs spaces (and how many) for indents, space after function names (before parameter lists), space between operators, whether camelCase or something else, Foo.foo or Foo.Foo or foo.foo or..., etc. They're all formatting.

But that wasn't my point really, which was just that despite its forced indentation, Python still has, in my personal experience, its own formatting debates.
Everyone trashed Trump for the solar tariffs but I liked it for this reason. Sure, temporarily they get more expensive but what happens in 20+ years when the world is reliant on solar power and China has a complete monopoly because they played the long game and subsidized it until all competitors died out?

China is playing the long game, the west plays quarter to quarter because of the stock market

Historically, I would have said that taking taxis was fairly price inelastic. You knew it would be relatively expensive but you either didn't care or it was really the only practical way to get from Point A to Point B.

However, my sense is that for at least certain locations/demographics, that's probably changed with Uber/Lyft. I don't personally use them much but anecdotally a lot of people have started using them as an alternative to public transit or just because it's easier if they're going out for a night on the town. And I work with a lot of people for whom the reflex seems to be to pull out a smartphone anytime they need to go more than a few blocks while traveling. I expect those behaviors would change if the price suddenly went to 2X. (It also definitely makes a difference at the margins when renting cars and that's mostly a straightforward price calculation.)
What's more scary is the public opinion about this in China.

When first reported on by state media "the People's Daily", being touted as a glorious historical breakthrough, netizens cheered with overwhelming joy and pride.

Then came critical pieces, netizens appeared to calmed a bit, "Foreign masters displeased!", some started to worry about it,
"What if the girls start to pollute the gene pool? It's horrifying."
"It's outrageous and immoral, burn He and the girls to death!"
"Sterilize them!"
"This is an American conspiracy."
"I'll be blunt here, the morons who oppose it, don't ever join the line when gene-optimizing treatments come out."
"Human thought can't keep up with the advance of technology, it'd be a disaster."
"Some people are always jealous of other country's tech, yet here they also don't want to be the first one."
I can see a few other aspects behind this. First is "I learned it by watching you" - people become fiscally successful without merit through scumbaggery which promotes a cynical view that ethics are for keeping suckers in line.

Second is a "don't feed the trolls" thing. By falling for it they actively make the problem worse even for people who are savvy. If nobody fell for spam and scams they would go out of business.

Finally the classic victim blaming for mental security, just world and such. I won't be scammed because I'm not a moron. I won't suffer police brutality because I'm not a criminal.
Generally going to face a similar fate as Americans. With exception of a few sanctioned countries everyone can participate economically and legally in the US subject to the same laws.
I think what I'm saying is specifically it is facebook whatsapp like it is google gmail or apple messaging.

it appears that people often refer to this as different companies and they are not.

it being e2e encrypted does not change who owns, makes decisions on where the future of it goes, and if it will continue to exist in 5 years. it is still facebook and not 'whatsapp' by itself above and in many areas people refer to whatsapp and instagram as different entities and they are not, I'm concerned with people acting like it is.
>Like a lot of you I have mostly worked in back-end or systems software. My CSS/UI/UX skills are very minimal.

I never came up with a special talent for UI/UX. I remember I had a friend who was web developer he was insanely talented , could make a sexy landing page in just a few minutes.

For me this has always been impossible , I immediately start thinking about optimizations, legacy browser support , CI/CD etc... Typical issues of system driven person....

A few years ago I realized I wasn’t like him and it was « Okay ».

I found out I can’t do « many side projects » at once nor frequently.

Instead I only build one project at a time but I do it properly. I design things out in Photoshop or Adobe XD where I usually spend weeks before coding anything.

The goal is really to be working in pure V Cycle where you don’t start Prototype unless you are done with the design.

Been using this technique ever since and I haven’t been frustrated ever since. Would recommend to try it with any design software that you like to work with.

You missed the point. The point is, both the keyboard and trackpad aren't centered. Now you have two options:

1. Position yourself in the center of the keyboard and type straight -> This forces you to turn your head/eyes to see the middle of the screen.

2. Position yourself in the center of your screen and look straight -> This forces you to put your hands to the left.

Both are very awkward. A keyboard needs to be centered in front of the PC. Numpads screw that up.
