Eggs would be much harder, simply due to numbers. One extraction generally results in around 12 viable eggs. Even if she went through that process multiple times (not sure what repetition limits are), only 1-3 of them really have a chance to succeed through a pregnancy. After 100 years, there is little room for error.
I'm going to make the assumption you don't use Facebook very often. Until recently, I did. Mainly because of the ease of local organization for political causes I prefer. I've seen many leftist groups get banned. Many leftist users thrown into "Facebook Jail" routinely. Often over the most trivial of reasons. No to mention how the algorithms de-prioritize lefty and liberal sources in favor of conservative ones.

It's darkly funny to me at this point how the "CENSORSHIP!!" crowd has completely ignored the routine purges of leftist voices on Facebook. Sure, the centrist liberal and the slightly left of center voices have survived. But get even a little further to the left and it's a crap shoot in terms of their long term survival on the platform.

Meanwhile, conservative circles are thriving on Facebook. Conservative sources are among the most popular on the site. I honestly don't know how much more you want from Facebook when they go out of their way to make conservative groups feel at home. Even to the point of adjusting their engine to point users to conservative pages, as has been widely reported.

> Doesn't that mean it's 青 that's the phonetic part?

I'm confused. That's indeed what I said and what the article states and what the original parent comment stated.

> On the other hand, no idea why moon and that radical (life?) = blue so that part is phontic?

That's not quite the direct evidence that 青 is phonetic rather than semantic. It's because already in 精 青 is not a semantic component but rather a phonetic one. In particular 精 was being used to describe clear, sunny days before the existence of 晴. Its semantic compound was then replaced with 日 to disambiguate this new meaning of 精 [0]. So the jump from 精 to 晴 is treating 青 as a phonetic component as well.

[0] "Replaced with" indicates an intentionality that may or may not have actually occurred. We don't have any records of someone literally coming out and saying "yeah I think 精 has too many meanings, I'm going to replace one of them with 晴." It's plausible that what may have occurred is the independent growth of a variant character 晴 that occurred after the rise of 精 that eventually supplanted 精. Regardless the existence of 精 is a pretty clear signal that it was the phonetic quality of 青 that was being used.

To me that seems like one that will attract angry downvotes because it goes against a Google Bad narrative (not that they necessarily aren’t, or are.) I don’t think those kinds of readers are reflective enough to give good feedback. It’s difficult to discuss the particulars of many FAANG-related subjects here right now.
> "What do you mean, value is optimized out!?!? It's sitting right there in the bloody register!"

It's the biggest problem I have with debuggers. Interestingly, with rr you can usually reverse-stepi a little, and get the value from a slightly earlier time, where its location was known to the debug info. A life saver, although depending on what the code does to the value, that might not help entirely. If only rr was available on all platforms... I guess TTD can help similarly on Windows.
“Tiny” as in small, intricate and expensive or “tiny” as in tiny price? If it is a self-evidently compelling product for a niche or mass US market, the threshold in the US for “tiny price” (as in reflexively whipping out the CC) for a HN sort of community was $500 US, but that was a few years ago. More than $500, and you have to provide supporting arguments for why it is worth it.
I’ve found giant messes of human suffering even where the tooling chosen was relatively excellent for the problem at hand. The part not being considered is that some problems are hard to solve and developers will make a mess even with the right tools. Programming isn’t easy, but especially in uncharted territory. I think that’s why choosing tools you at least know has merits.

I spent a lot of my career consulting as a mess cleaner, more or less, and even very smart people end up making a mess sometimes. Time constraints, shifting goal posts, all of it.

I’d say the worst thing I ever see, regardless of tools, is premature optimization getting in the way of everything else.
Ok, but what does that do structurally to a culture? And how might it have come about?

Googler #1: "Marissa want to change the link colors _again!_ What can we do to make her stop micromanaging shit like this?"

Googler #2: "All we need to do is convince her we are obviously wrong about 'graphic design-y things' because we're developers, and that she can prove we are wrong by making a 'data driven' decision. Then we'll say 'The only way to prove we are wrong would be an insane global 0 way multivariate test of all possible colours!!!' and she'll _insist_ on it. Then we build a tool and run the test and point at the results every time she tries to make us change it again. And we can offer to run the tool for _everything else_ she micromanages us about in future too!"

Googler #1: "Brilliant! So, do we build the tool and run the test? Or just make up the results and present them to her?"

Delaying genetic traits to the new world can have its disadvantages, as the embryo would not likely posses the genes/mutation sets required to live in the current world. 27 years is alright, but to think in terms of 500+ years, that's where they pull the ethical handbrakes on this whole thing (if anyone of our generations make it that far). However, this should pave way for men and women to delay having kids and save that decision for the future.

IMO there should be a personal gene bank for men and women on the Moon or the Antarctic, so they can save on cryogenic costs, it's tricky as it is the success rates are really slim, 'A New hope' or 'The last Jedi' scenario awaits
I mostly agree with this post, but have to point out that the UAE is not a unitary polity. It's a loose confederacy of seven related Sheikdoms, with a wide range of policy and level of development.

Almost all of that wealth is concentrated in the sovereign wealth fund of the emirate of Abu Dhabi, because Abu Dhabi has by far the largest oil reserves. Next is Dubai, which has much less accumulated in its sovereign wealth fund, because it's nearly run out of oil. However it's done a lot to diversity its economy into finance, services, and tourism.

But as for the other five emirates, the picture is much more bleak. Nor is it like the US, where finances or taxation are co-mingled on the federal level to any serious degree. If California generates a lot of wealth relative to Alabama, you'd expect a lot to be redistributed. But Abu Dhabi will not be sending any of its enormous wealth holdings to Sharjah by any means.
Also. I just gotta tell you what a metagon is. Because it's cool and simple.

A metagon is the essence of a polygon. It's the definition of a polygon minus information pertaining to location, orientation, scale and chirality (handedness).
>Some states have this. I remember a friend in new york had a timer on his electric water heater to heat it at night when power was cheap.

This has been a thing in Australia too, under the decades-old assumption that midnight coal is the cheapest period of power. There have been projects to change the boiler systems to 1) heat at midday instead of midnight, to reflect the changed cost-curve caused by solar, and 2) randomise the exact period of heating, to spread the demand over a range rather than causing a huge spike at 12:00 exactly.

Apple has barely any market power in laptop/desktop. They can do whatever they want there, I don't care, and neither should the DOJ. I also don't think they're meaningfully leveraging their phone market power to increase their computers market power, but maybe I'm missing something ;needing an Apple computer to develop for Apple phones is maybe a concern, but doesn't strike me as rising to the level of anti-trust litigation.

On phones, in the US, they have a dominant position. US Anti-trust doesn't require a absolute monopoly; merely having a dominant position is enough to prohibit anti-competitve behaviors.

The problem is Apple actually makes quality products. I personal don’t buy Apple products anymore for the reasons you have listed, and am transitioning from my iPhone 7 to my newly purchased pine phone. However, from both the standpoint of an engineer and a consumer I’m continually impressed by the quality of the products Apple makes. Not as impressed as I was when I got my first Mac in 2007 bu despite conducting the same shady business practices that have landed others in hot water, as long as Apple makes quality products I doubt any antitrust “changes” will be more than symbolic in-practice.

I’m all for putting pressure on them with antitrust lawsuits but ultimately consumers are who will drive meaningful change
Behaviour is influenced both from genetic origins as well as from environmental ones. The latter includes things like "how you were raised" but also which hormones and stimuli you were exposed to during gestation. Newborn babies already cry in different ways depending on the languages they were exposed to during pregnancy.

Firefox does Enterprise PKI wrong though. Very thoroughly wrong.

It only reads in the Root CA certificates in the Machine store.

It ignores the User store entirely.

It ignores the Intermediate CA store as well.

I bet Mozilla's logic is that Intermediate CA certificates can simply be "downloaded" dynamically, but Windows Server CAs use LDAP URLs by default, which Firefox doesn't support.

It also ignores CTLs, CRLs, revoked certificates, and a bunch of other Windows PKI stores.

Chrome was pleasant to use in that "it just worked", and this was a major reason it was adopted by large organisations and Firefox wasn't.

Please don't break this.
Great tip.. thanks! I've kinda of mounted all my drives including Windows/NTFS/etc using fstab now. Do you reckon this will have any negative impact performancewise?

You can't directly compare Germany to France, as Germany largely privatised their grid whereas France's grid is largely government-run and -subsidised.
This I think is an excellent model and has worked for FOSS communities in the past. One example of a similar strategy is RHEL, where you pay for support rather than software. Of course with hardware it is different, you will pay for the hardware, but the price increase for consumer purchased hardware reflects additional cost of customer support. I think this is a viable and ethical business model.

On another note, I hope to one day see projects like pine64 specifically using RISC V architecture.
> Do we just put everyone in honors classes at every school? No. Why not? Obviously that's discriminatory right? Of course not.

At least in San Francisco there is a movement to remove options like honors classes, and it stems from the same basic, ill-conceived premises.

And regarding your list of reasons for poor performance, at least in San Francisco none of them really apply. They don't apply because they've each been systematically addressed, and addressed quite well, yet the huge performance gap remains. At the end of the day, the most significant factors by a huge margin involve home environment, particularly parental involvement and expectations, and you can't address those very well with school policies. And while clearly a major issue there is economic, it's not just economics. I remember visiting Singapore and seeing young, elementary school-age children from families in public housing hanging out in groups at McDonald's doing homework at 8PM. No parental supervision at all, and doubtless some of their parents--both of them--were working 12+ hour days, anyhow.

American kids of any ethnicity, rich or poor, aren't going to do that, but it goes to show that there's also a significant cultural component as well. And simply mixing socioeconomic classes in school won't fix that because in American culture the middle- and upper-classes hide their educational norms. They hide them because studying isn't cool. So all poor kids see are the results, not the process. As someone who grew up without those norms it was very confusing to me. I never understood why kids who never seemed to study got such great grades, but as an adult I know why--it's because they were more-or-less studying secretly. (Some of them were trading notes secretly, and even cheating secretly, but it's the same basic point--it's an invisible system that poor kids can't adopt by osmosis and modeling, which is the basic premise behind these movements.)
How would you describe what happened? LeCunn calmly and rationally explained that a particular model produced biased results, and that that this was due to the bias in its training data. He was then excoriated as a racist by this woman and the Twitter mobs she incited, to the point where this Turing Award winner is no longer willing to engage with the public via that medium.

LeCunn made repeated attempts to explain his position, only to be virtually shouted over about he wasn’t listening to people of color because he pointed out that a model trained on White people learned to produce images of White people, and that if it had been trained on Black people it would produce images of Black people. It was a research paper, not a production system, and Gebru and her acolytes were much more interested in scoring cheap points than in having a serious conversation about either ML fairness or the merits of this particular paper.

Seriously, the primary sources can be read by anyone.
I noticed that the retail stores are supposed to ship within a few days of an order being placed.

Despite the fact that I would prefer the community priced edition in every other way, the rapid shipping might actually make the consumer oriented store the way to go.

Google Brain is a deep learning artificial intelligence research team at Google.

Google Brain Women and Allies is a mailing list within the team.
Generally, slide rules were only good for rough calculations (3 significant digits if you were lucky), but they did contain multiple scales providing multiplication, division, exponential, log10, ln, roots, sin, cos, tan, and hyperbolic trig functions. Notably one couldn’t do addition or subtraction with a slide rule; we used pencils for that.

When more precision was needed, I and my fellow engineers would break out our copies of CRC’s reference tables. The better log tables allowed calculations to 5 or 6 significant digits. Using these were not unusual and all of us learned to use them in high school (before 1970 at least).

The log tables let you work without slide rules, which were themselves horribly expensive not too terribly long ago in the grand scheme of things. But yes, this was all about practical calculation, not mathematics for its own sake, that needed to be carried out quickly by people who wouldn't have handy access to machines that keep the dirty arithmetic details (and potential for error) hidden from the operator, whether that's your ship's navigator or the machinist with nothing but a sine bar and gauge blocks setting up a precision operation, and if you needed precision using a four-figure table book, the only way you were going to get it was if the derived operations were in the tables.

This line of thinking about viable alternatives goes to extremes when you don’t consider the capabilities of average consumers and differences in quality of product.

Like what the hell am I supposed to do on a purism libre that has 100x less apps of 1/10th the quality as iOS? It currently does not support signal, banking apps, maps, Spotify, slack, Feedly, pocket and millions more. Yes, a dev could potentially spend 100s of hours making shitty homegrown alternatives for every little app - this is a VERY long stretch. And even then 99% of people are not devs and will never ever ever do that. It’s like saying a horse is a viable alternative to a car. It’s not even in the same damn universe yet.

> I'm not clear on your "all sorts of limitations"; you'll have to fill me in on them?

this feels like bait but honestly I'm under the impression that incrementally updating materialized views (where optimal = the proportion of changed records) just isn't always possible. for example, max and min aggregates aren't supported in SQL Server because updating the current max or min record requires a query to find the new max or min record - that's not considered an incremental update and so it's not supported and trying to materialize the view fails. there are a number of cases like this and a big part of problem solving with SQL Server is figuring out how to structure a view within these constraints. if you can then you can rest assured that updates will be incremental and performant - this is important because performance is the feature, if the update is slow then my app is broken. if Materialize has a list of constraints shorter than SQL Server's then you're sitting on technology worth billions - it's hard for me to believe that your list of constraints is "there are none" especially when there are explicit-but-vague performance warnings in the docs.
