Even supposing they had, completely unethically, actually transferred these embryos into a woman or monkey, the odds of any of the three surviving to term are likely quite low. The most likely outcome would be miscarriage and probably a quite early one at that.

We don't even know if survival to term would be possible. It may be simply impossible due to some genetic incompatibility. Even if it were possible, it would quite likely take (on average) hundreds of attempts before you'd have a success.
Toyota’s blunders with electric vehicles has nothing to do with its supply chain and everything to do with its strategic decisions. The Rav4 Prime has a long wait list because they chose to make a small quantity of them.

They partly choose to make so few of them because they’re still trying to make hydrogen happen.
Yup. Even people with floor space had to make significant adjustments. We had to buy 2 office chairs, 1 desk, and ended up buying some other furniture to make the wife's home office more pleasant. Probably $5000 total. Would have rather spent that on something fun, but oh well.

Our employers did at provide additional monitors (both of us already had suitable laptops), which was nice and better than many received.

The supersonic passenger flight thing is the one I have to really chuckle at. Nothing against the work being done in this area--hey, not my money. But effectively you have lots of folks, who probably mostly fly coach, super-excited that maybe one day CEOs and high-end lawyers will once again be able to fly from NY to London to have lunch, shake hands on a deal, and be home in time for dinner.
That's my point. If people can die lying isn't good enough.

i appreciate that you take this in the spirit that it was meant.

it just sounds like a cruel joke to me

what would be the alternative?

when anyone suffers, they need help to end that suffering, but also hope and encouragement that they will get through it, because some things just can't be fixed with material means.

if you look at this as if there is a god out there that goes: hmm, this family needs a test. how about i mess up their baby?

that would indeed be cruel. but that is not what i believe is happening. i don't know what that particular child suffers from, but by now we can explain many birth defects to some humans mistakenly or intentionally doing something wrong, like poisoning water with chemicals or malfunctioning nuclear reactors, or what not. i don't believe that any of these are pure acts of god. but they could all be prevented if humans as a whole were more diligent. (i don't mean that any individual could have done anything by themselves, but that as humanity we need to work together to avoid and remove things that cause people to suffer[1])

this is a consequence of free will. bad things happen, because if god were to prevent them, then we would not have free will.

nevertheless on an individual level god does promise that whatever suffering we experience is rewarded in the next life, and that we are all given the capacity to pass the tests that we experience and get through that suffering.

[1] that is in fact happening. we have eliminated many diseases and quality of life on average is improving globally. there is more work to be done, but we are getting there.

You're reading it wrong.

If we were to read this like a piece of computer code, the incompatibility would be mutual. GPL code does not permit further restrictions. "You cannot remove Apache 2.0" would be a further restriction. Ergo, you couldn't incorporate.

It's just that this isn't how you read or interpret legal text.

The linked page is correct. You can incorporate/sublicense Apache code into GPL code. You can't do the reverse.

I don't know why my family should have a say either. I guess it's pressuring them in a way, but dying generally puts pressure on one's family regardless.

Cremated, buried, put out to sea on a flaming raft, whatever. Who cares if the corpse I left behind is short an eyeball, a couple tendons, and a liver?

More importantly, if those body parts can be used to save someone else's life, I don't believe they should even have the right to care. People who are still alive and need an organ to survive are more important than whatever squeamishness and perception of agency my family might have.

The concern that doctors could theoretically let people die more easily to get their organs is another matter entirely, but that's not the topic in this sub-thread.

I lived in Lausanne and used the youth hostel when I first moved there. There was a homeless drunk guy that the police would put in the hostel every night, he smelled horrible. It wasn’t a great experience for me but at least he wasn’t sleeping on the street. Lausanne also had a lot of squatters, mostly young foreigners, but that was a completely different subculture. I never figured out why the police didn’t come down hard on them, they did on everything else.
These kind of suggestions prompt a snarky response. Imagine an emergency meeting to discuss the leaking co2 problem in a 200 story tower we live in. Everybody knows that the source of the leak is the old plumbing and rusty electrical wiring. Suddenly, someone shows up in the midst of the discussion and presents a solution: we just need to replace plumbing and wiring.
That's kinda the design behind russian SVBR-150 (from mid 1990s, still waiting on money for finishing). Self-contained "cells" that can be delivered by railcar ready to use as power/heating/cogeneration plant. You literally need to attach normal COTS steam turbine or heat exchanger for municipal heating, and that's it as far as pure generation is involved.

For refueling you disconnect the pipes and cables, place it on the railcar, and send it to manufacturer.

Initial design for such cell was 150MW(e) each, thus the name.
This same discussion has been fought out with voting rights. Clearly only the big land owners should vote. The average peasant does not have the knowledge or experience required to participate in governing a country. Same for women. Peasants should stay on their land, women in their kitchens, voting should happen by those educated and well read.

The people claiming this were probably right, but the solution was radically different from what they envisioned: Peasants and women fought for the right to get schooling. The news became available for everyone. They got in fact the tools needed to perform the job.

We should strive for the same things here. Even knowing a majority might get malware or vote for Trump. The minority that makes maximal use of the given opportunities has demonstrated they will make the world a better place for all of us.
For what it’s worth, Homebrew responded by entirely removing the automation, not just patching the specific vulnerability: https://brew.sh/2021/04/21/security-incident-disclosure/

To me this means they take the class of threats seriously. And in the first place, automating version bumps could actually improve availability of security hotfixes for brew-installed software, so it’s consistent with a good faith security stance.

And, to be fair, there are plenty of NPM repositories with far fewer qualms about pushing untrusted code in dependencies to dev machines...
> A model turns into a gamble if you throw your hands up and claim that its impossible to have a 100% authentic model of a domain.

...no it doesn't. I've deleted the claim that you don't know what a model is from the previous comment, but now it's clear: you don't know what a model is.

> If you truly believe this to be the case, then you have not tread far enough into the forest of SQL, 3NF, BCNF, and the relational calculus.

...you're mixing models with mathematical theories in there, and none of these are "100% authentic models" of anything. Unless by authentic you mean "not copied", I suppose.

> It is possible to use math to prove that a problem domain is modeled appropriately.

...appropriately doesn't mean 100% accurate (which is _I think_ the word you were looking for). That's not how models work.

> The only way any of this becomes possible is if you have solid foundations and the courage to produce exceptionally clean models.

"Clean" doesn't imply "accurate" at all. It does sometimes help with being useful or easy to implement, but it usually _sacrifices_ accuracy. Like the two main and often contrary properties of models are "accuracy" and "usefulness." That's, like, first five pages of any epistemology handbook.

It's just a legal contract which is potentially life destroying for me.

Still, I have a pretty traditional family without the titles: only one of us is working and it makes sense for both of us. This is likely going to change when kids are bigger and we have more time, but at the same time, we're close to not be in full time employment for someone else. We will likely work in our own business because we enjoy doing it, more than for the money we make.

I think what's important, in today's society, is to not be career driven.
Corporations chew you, you end up wasting your life and your family is unstable because there's no one home for the kids.

Equal working opportunity for both genders are great, but feminism preached being career driven too much.
Society adapted to having two working parents per family, wages stagnated while prices increased thanks to double the workers available and thanks to double purchasing power.
Divorces and single parenting, unstable families are what created this problematic generation.

Now we pay the price.

As a software person, I would like to read a more detailed post-mortem on the issue from a code, engineering and project management point of view: e.g. who built this software, when, with what process, with what safeguards, and how did they fail? Was it in-house or outsourced, and if so, to who? Did it run on-premises? What checksums, what backups? What lessons, if any, did they learn and what can we learn?

Maybe our expectation that we can match generation to consumption with storage, is just plain wrong.

Maybe all we need is to have massive overcapacity of renewables - if we have 10x more solar than we need, even the most cloudy day will still provide power.
Huh? The subjects are relatively obscure and most of the movies in question are from a long time ago. Finally, the film is specifically about people who did not get the recognition they deserve.

You're right, people buy luxury cars for the exclusivity and a shortage can only make the products even more exclusive.
This is a project with good intentions. But the responsibility lies with the government (and therefore the collective). I don’t understand why our society cannot feed the hungry and house the poor when we have enough resources to do so (in fact do it 1000x over). Some will argue it is to disincentivize people from not working. That’s a bullshit argument in my view because 80% of the people I’ve met in desk jobs do absolutely NOTHING.

Also are Americans really unhappy with suburbia?

Yes and no.

I'm an avid cyclist, so follow local traffic and infrastructure plans and related political/governmental issues. I live in a fairly dense suburb about 40 minutes outside DC (near Dulles Airport).

From what I can see, there is a subset of people who love owning a yard and having some of their own space for kids or gardening or whatever. And they like having a garage to store all their crap (and occasionally a car).

But, within that group, there is often a sort of despair (probably too strong a word) about the rotting infrastructure that surrounds them. Potholed roads, bridges literally crumbling, too much traffic, etc. This group pushes hard for more road construction, more sprawl, etc despite studies that mostly show more infrastructure doesn't help (demand always catches up). And they don't want to fund it via taxes.

There is another group that lives in the suburbs by necessity. Jobs are out here, costs are manageable, etc. They'd move to a city, if it were easier/affordable. I fall into this group. I actually sold my single-family home a few years ago and bought a smaller townhouse in a denser neighborhood so I could walk more places. Cost was the same and I enjoy the downsized home/yard, ability to walk/cycle for coffee or beer, and walk to work (thought that last bit was dumb luck on an office move).

And the vast majority are somewhere in between. Mostly ambivalent. Maybe some notion of the "American Dream" (big colonial home, white picket fence, etc), but content somewhere in the middle.

tl;dr - Americans like the cost and convenience of the suburbs, but much of that comes from indefinitely deferred infrastructure investment (though a massive chunk of suburban residents don't actually realize just how badly that spending is being deferred).

> my sister has just moved house and has converted one of the bedrooms to an office

This is an interesting change happening in many places now and I wonder how it will impact the higher end of the market (and expectations) in a long term. Some people in larger houses recently went from 4 bedrooms with lots of space to 1 bedroom, 1 nursery, 2 offices. (yes, nice problem to have in practice, but still interesting)

Ask HN: How do you scale your service worldwide in 2021?
Hi HNers,

Built a service in the form of an app during the course of the pandemic for people to watch videos and receive news.

However since the pandemic, I had a huge surge of people signing up and straining my backend, leaving me frantically trying to keep the servers up and respond to customers at the same time.

It must have been hard 10 or 20 years ago to scale your backend/service to reach as many people as possible worldwide than it is today, but I still struggled with this.

I'm curious how would one do this when faced with a TON of customers as I had to face.

If you're curious of my stack: it's all on Heroku, Redis, Node & 2 Postgres servers.

Would also like to know what you would have done better as well.
While I agree that Metric is better, converting isn't very practical. Imagine the cost of having to change every sign, book, and other text using imperial measurements, as well as any programs and tools that are based on imperial. It just wouldn't happen.

We could pass a law saying "we're metric now", but it would likely just be a formality while we continue using Imperial.
Microsoft low balled Netscape when they tried to buy them and then set out to crush them anyway with IE, it was largely seen as bullying behaviour. Google/Apple don't really do this, they buy what they see as promising companies with good ideas and pay plenty for them, so does Facebook with social.

So the difference is, Google/Apple never really look like bullies the way MS did, instead they look like companies innovating.

For the most part in mobile google just brought its already successful products to android, it hasn't from what I call explicitly tried to kill an already successful product in another niche? Well maybe with its various "social" attempts but they failed so bad it never became an issue.
Which rich person is in Europe?

All my friends who got rich aren't living in EU, they are in Thailand, Dubai, China, Indonesia or US.

All of them have told me EU isn't a good place to spend your money, your money buys more in Asia and they'll only go back to Europe when they get old or run out of money because Europe is a good place to get old because of health services being offered there.

Other half friends who are in Europe don't have enough disposable income to afford more than a summer vacation to some other cheap European country.
Your last point resonated with me. An extremely boring electric car that makes some significant leap in affordability, efficiency or whatever can be the thing that brings our entire society forward and literally saves it.

If anything you can argue that the latest Bugatti with a slightly larger engine is moving us backwards by the waste of resources (in design, production and use).

Peak technology right now is not the big sexy machine, it's whatever makes the good stuff boring for the masses.
Actually only a small minority of California's homeless come from another state.

If you ask me mid workout I'll be annoyed though and likely react negatively.

If you ask me and I'm engaged / not looking, it will be annoying. Some women train in women only gym for this reason. I still think it's ok to ask in a polite way.

Just don't ask in a situation where the receiver may feel threatened (eg. Alone in a dark alley) and react out of fear.

It worked! Thanks for a swift turnaround.
So, let's look at doing this in a distributed manner: giving every household their own gravity battery. A 1 m3 cube of concrete weighs 2400 kg; moving this over 6 meters yields (mass * gravity acceleration * height) = 140 MJ, = 39 kWh. Lets say 34 kWh after accounting for energy losses.

A european household uses approx 3500 kwh/year; americans use upwards of 10000 kwh/year.

Clearly such a slab of concrete will comfortably allow buffering an entire day's worth of power, and then some.

Edit: fuck me I'm dumb. Off by a factor 1000. 39 watthour in that cube, not 39 kWh. Ignore everything I said.
> Sure it would cost much more, but in some applications steady power is worth it.

It would cost much more and be way more complicated & less reliable than… just getting the two separately and using battery grid storage on the output of the windfarm.

Even for a backyard turbine it wouldn't make much sense, for maintenance reasons you'd want to manage your turbine and storage separately, and if, say, you add solar panels, you want that to feed into your battery bank as well.
