It's a thing in the UK - relatively rare, though still amounting to something like 100,000 kids across the whole UK.

Father of a kid with Down's here. This is an old myth that simply isn't true, just like the one that all people with Down's are happy all the time.

This is true, but that test is inaccurate, and only provides odds of having a baby with Down's, for example "you have a 3500:1 chance of having a baby with Down's Syndrome".

Ah yes, I read that paper when it was first published - it also shows great promise! As these 2 approaches are different, it would be interesting to see if there was a cumulative effect if both were performed.

50 years ago it was pretty much assumed that anyone with Down's could do very little, and so society rarely bothered actually teaching kids. People with Down's were often shoved into a residential care home and basically left to r

Yes, there is now the NIPT test, which is something like 99% accurate, and involves taking blood from mother and extracting fetal DNA from it. It's more expensive than the older, inaccurate screening test, so here in the UK it isn&#x27

These sound great - if they were < £200 and lightweight, I'd buy them in a heartbeat! ...but I'm guessing they'll be >£1,000 and weigh enough to hurt my nose bridge in mere minutes.

Wow, it's like we watched two different shows! While the style of the characters clothing is there, it all looks brand new, totally pristine. Just like the characters themselves, all of whom are plastered with impeccable make up. I fou

I've only watched the first episode so far, and... I'm not very impressed. The narrative is really awful - it feels like the characters are reading verbatim from a book, rather than reciting a screenplay adaption. The acting and

Oh, the last article about this said it was Cognizant, not Capgemini - I've had the misfortune to work at both, and either way, you're right.

by GordonS 4y ago
I used to work for Cognizant - they are very good at using the latest hype words to bag a client, so I fully agree with you. The same story from a different source was posted a couple of days back, and I said the same, simple pattern recogn

Is Hyper-V enabled on your machine? If so, you could install a Windows VM, in which you could do as you needed.

FWIW, I've found Defender to be far less resource hungry that the likes of Mcaffee AV.

Hah, it would be hilarious if it generated all the nudity you wanted - but with Rick Astley's face on every naked person!

Money and perverse incentives. Clinical trials are expensive, and rapamycin can't be patented. My guess is that, some time in the future, a pharma company will produce and patent an analogue, and then there will be trials.

IIRC, he never even apologised for it - just straight up said nothing , like he was pretending it never happened. I haven't followed Krebs' articles since then, he totally lost my trust.

Note I put "computer vision" is quotes; what I mean is that you can get very far with relatively simple image processing techniques, without any AI involvement.

I had the misfortune to work for Cognizant, and they're absolute bastards for proposing overly-complicated solutions. And for delivering half-baked, brittle, barely functional systems. But they're also very, very good at getting

Yes, it's "close" in galactic terms, but in human terms it might as well be 7 million light years away.

IMO this is exactly what we should be doing. It would be a great "excuse" to re-open friendly relations with Iran, even if the Americans wouldn't like it.

For anyone else curious, the planet in question is WASP-39b, which is a long way away. From Wikipedia: "WASP-39b is in the Virgo constellation, and is about 700 light-years from Earth"
