>I’m convinced that a human has definitely been cloned.

Me too. The article is full of stories of physicists; scientists and well funded companies who set off to clone a human...one company even left the grasp of US regulatory bodies and went to the Bahamas and claims they have successfully cloned more than a dozen humans but won't reveal the clones or parent(s) due to privacy.

And the scientists' stories are all to similar, with initial claims of successes then subsequent admissions of fraud for there not to be more there there. These are legit physicists and scientists from around the World, presumably they know their claims of successful human cloning could readily be confirmed through testing, yet they try to defraud the World? There just doesn't seem to be anything to be gained by defrauding the World knowing your claim will readily be proven/disproved...I think there were likely many successes then the money from private interests and heavy hands of the regulators saw to it the truth was quashed.
Are there any resources that you'd suggest on life improvements that also reduce consumption?
Tell that to the person who sat opposite of the Iranian under minister for public health while interviewing him and he was coughing all over the place. Fortunately she sat about 2 meters away from him, but still, I'd be concerned. Washing your hands and not touching your face certainly helps. But elevators, air travel, the subway, the tram, the bus, the train, places of work and events all pretty much guarantee spread of viruses all the time. This virus is no exception, it will spread. The question is how fast it will spread and how much we can do to limit that so that the health care system has time to absorb the impact. Washing hands helps.

Altered Carbon is about cloning yes, but in conjunction with an ability to transfer a consciousness from body to body, and an ability make backups of a human consciousness somehow "in a cloud". That was the main reason for the apparently morally questionable outcomes presented in Altered Carbon, not the cloning itself.
Great series BTW, a large proportion of HN crowd is likely to enjoy it.
Clonaid is tied to a ufo cult so I doubt they have much credibility.
To add to your point, if one is worried and wants a face mask, in the US, right now, they can make effective masks in a few minutes using some gauze (cheap and plentiful in pretty much any US pharmacy), tape, a stapler and a few ribbons.

While this may not be beautiful and might be slightly less effective than a standard surgical mask, it should be good enough unless one is spending significant time inside with infected, coughing folks. In which case one should be doing more than just wearing a face mask. My 2c.
The answer is yes. Now what is the question?

BTW article paywalled; - DR.
Another way to look at it is that you're optimistic that the crisis will be resolved.
A little bit. There's just a much smaller sample size to draw from. The ideal candidates for these sort of studies would be monozygotic twins (3 in 1000 births) who are adopted by different parents.

You can draw a few conclusions from that, but it's a pretty small sample pool.

The other somewhat unique thing you'd get here is how much prenatal nutrition matters.
Critical Chrome Zero-Day Vulnerability Under Active Attack

I believe you.

>- These Chinese companies do have to comply with local government regulations to be able to operate in China. Does that make every business in China evil? You have to realize that the Chinese government !== everything China. People in China needs to live and work, that means they have to grow their economy and start businesses regardless of what kind of government they have to put up with. Equaling running a successful business in China to supporting totalitarian politics is like equaling being successful in America to supporting patriarchy and white supremacy.

The human aspect of the regulations are the problem, so it's not a good comparison because you can run a business in the US without supporting patriarchy and white supremacy. The system is able to change if people vote and consume differently.

This isn't possible in China (you can't run a business that's not aligned wit the gov) because you can only consume from aligned sources, therefore the only way things could change is backlash from abroad, from boycot.

It's a difficult situation for you and chinese people because nobody wants to get sucked into a conflict, but I hope that you understand my viewpoint too.

Many people will have opinions on this, including me. :-) From my own experience, reliable VPS providers that are less expensive than AWS would be Linode and Vultr. Vultr natively supports iPXE if that is something you want to learn as well. Both have pay-as-you-go plans, meaning if you want to destroy the VM's after 5 days, then you only pay for 5 days. Both have very fast VM's.
USA probably has a lead cause they have biolaboratories developing bio weapons in several former USSR republics (Georgia, Uzbekistan, maybe others). Most probably viruses that target Slavic population are developed in those labs. Also there are rumors that in Georgia they use prisoners to test biological weapons on humans.

Imagine, through a series of company acquisitions and suchlike, you've got forty internal web services spread across five different tech stacks, three primary public-facing websites, plus some APIs, and some mail servers, and some secondary sites like a recruiting website built and managed by an external company.

At that point, calendar reminders ain't going to cut it. And I imagine that TechCrunch-Oath-AOL-Yahoo-Verizon has at least that much complexity.
I agree, so I am collecting as many names I could from experienced folks for my research :)

For a long time I was written off by government and industry as a lone maverick with a chip on his shoulder. But things have changed a lot over the last year, first with the report by the Environmental Audit Committee in July which agreed with my findings and bollocked the Department for Business to get on with changing things. Second - and having massive effects behind the scenes but coming more into play - was the formation of a contaminants group in the FBU. The two guys behind it were outraged to discover only recently (and much of it from my website) that for 30 years they've been exposed to massively toxic fires without even been told about it by their management. Part of the problem there is corrupt fire safety officials in the pay of the flame retardant industry.

So in a short space of time, we've had people running for cover, resigning from committees and being axed from their jobs for corruption.

What else will move things on? Get your MP to write to the Department for Business. I met them yesterday and while they're crapping themselves about the attention that's now on them, they admitted that in effect they're not going to make any changes to these Regulations for another 9-12 years. I spelled out to them that that means we're going to continue poisoning our children as they sleep but these people have segmented minds and somehow avoid taking any responsiblity, concerned only about their careers and pension.

It shouldn't be that hard of a question to find the answer to but it seems even you can't give me a straight answer and that's really off putting.

I know it's hard taking what seams like criticisms when it's your own projects (I maintain popular open source projects too so have experienced this first hand many times myself) but sometimes it pays not to default on the defensive. I'm not saying you have to listen to nor agree with all feedback given -- and obviously I don't expect you to entertain people who are just rude or demanding -- but it's an order of magnitude harder for people to raise legitimate constructive comments or genuine questions / concerns if they're back-footed.

How can you make this statement? A lot of papers claim mortality (accounted for asymptomatic patients) to be around 5% (100x worse than flu) and 1% (20x worse than flu). What evidence do you have that these papers don't?

I use Traefik with Kubernetes clusters via Helm chart. Works amazingly. Just define a ingress resource and boom, everything just works. Note, if doing on-prem Kubernetes and cloud native load balances are not available, highly recommend the MetalLB[1] project. Traefik requires a load balancer resource in front of it.

"text-sm" is just font-size and text-gray is a color code, so the order of the classes doesn't matter either.

The biggest benefit of this over inline styles is that if I decide to change the color of "gray-700", since those colors come from a configuration, I only need to change it in my configuration.

It takes some getting used to of the rules, but after a day or two I don't even need to think about what the class names are.
Dependency Injection in Azure Functions with C#
The trits are bizarre and introduce complexity but isn't necessarily a critical flaw. I don't see anything in the article about them. They rolled their own crypto, but later corrected it.

Indeed, it has had their centralized Coordinator with plans to decentralize. Is that a flaw? Maybe, but it's also a scaling issue.

The distributed proof of work is novel as well as the absence of centralized mining and transaction fees.
Brave can release whatever software they want, but they maintain no control over the original token. The token maintains whatever worth the larger market assigns to it, and if there isn't majority buy in with NuBAT, it simply won't be used.

Yeah, I think that's a fine analysis. I don't think Caddy cares that it's not the "right way" if it solves problems for some people. It is certainly easier than certbot and nginx for cases where you have one VM that you play with as though it's a pet. And a lot of people treat their production environments that way, so it does solve a problem.

The next problem that people will run into is that because they can't reliably run multiple "things", they won't have a monitoring stack to tell them that certs aren't renewing. But, maybe nothing bad will happen and it won't be a problem. "Hope is not a strategy" if you're a Google SRE, but people do pretty OK with hope in the real world ;)

Would Stephen Hawking get ALS again? It seems the disease made him really concentrate his efforts on his studies and research more, it’s a strange thought experiment. Is it ethical to condemn another person to a life locked in ALS to get the greatness that was Stephen Hawking’s contributions to science? Surely not. I wonder what Stephen would say.

Identical twin studies show that ALS seems to definitely have an environmental trigger affecting methylation of genes. My best guess is you get a Stephen Hawking twin that gets to enjoy a life of boating and walking and doesn’t contribute as much to science.

I'm not sure we know whether anybody has or not.

Technically speaking if you can do sheep ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolly_(sheep) ) , then it's probably just a matter of time before a human attempt would 'succeed'.
Though bear in mind the clone is likely to have genetic problems due to the process.

In a lot of countries it's deemed unacceptable to attempt/illegal to attempt it. So if you had succeeded you are unlikely to be trumpeting the fact.

Also practically - why? What is the point? Perhaps a deluded billionaire thinks the world would be better off with an army of themselves? Dunno.

Perhaps the most logical use would be as a walking spare parts bank for said billionaire - again you wouldn't advertise you are doing that....

YC’s new guide to raising a Series A
Compliant Says as Compliant Does
The page I linked is an interview with a United Nations investigator (Nils Melzer, UN Special Rapporteur on Torture). I'm just relaying what was written in a condensed format.

The lady who went to the police to force assange to do an HIV test never accused him of rape, they had unprotected sex and she wanted to ensure that she was safe.[1]

The second lady only accompanied the first. But the article had already been made and she only made a statement the day after. As for the reason to not clasify it as rape, it's probably due to a contradiction in her statement. [2]

Per the article:
[1]
"S.W. never accused Julian Assange of rape. She declined to participate in further questioning and went home. Nevertheless, two hours later, a headline appeared on the front page of Expressen, a Swedish tabloid, saying that Julian Assange was suspected of having committed two rapes."

[2]
"...
But she said that during sex, Assange had intentionally broken the condom. If that is true, then it is, of course, a sexual offense – so-called «stealthing». But the woman also said that she only later noticed that the condom was broken.
..."

It's disgusting how much power is being given to corporations that do nothing but strictly harm the population. Not only is the tobacco industry directly harming people by selling them poison, but all the pollution being generated by waste (just look at the ground next time you're walking outside to see all the cigarette butts), and then they lobby to push for these retardants to be pushed onto the furnishing industry, increasing not only monetary costs for the end consumer, but as we see here, causing health issues as well.

This is a tax everyone is paying for some smokers to get their fix. Absolutely disgusting and despicable. Yet, no one has the guts to step up and shut down the entire industry. It's unfathomable to what extent greed makes humans behave.

Depends on your language. In Lisp, + takes any number of arguments. In C++, it takes exactly two.

(I'm presuming that by 'add', you mean '+'. If not, then 'add' takes however many arguments it is defined as a function to take, and that still is language- or library-dependent.)

(And if you refer to pure math, then add or + is only a function of more than two arguments if it associates, which is dependent on the argument type.)
