The main evil of WW2 eugenics was preventing certain people from having children based on arbitrary rules. Aborting a fetus with trisomia so that the couple can try again for a healthy child is nothing like that.

They're reliable, provided there's a cherry tree orchard at the destination.

Mine is that I need to protect the uncool status of Java and the like so that certain people and their egos will stay out. There are, of course, other certain people and their even bigger egos already in this space, but it's enough to

There's a limitation in the form of inaccessible domains which is, predictably, also used by employers. No need to go all 1984 on children because those who can bypass such restrictions will figure out a way to see what they want. Like

The further away you are from VC money, the more "boring" technologies like Java make sense. Whole careers have been built on producing CRUD web applications with Java on the backend and Angular on the frontend. It's not exci

I think they'll do another lap for good measure before they settle on that.

It's not the lithium that's burning - it's first the electrolyte, typically ethylene carbonate, which decomposes the cathode - a process that releases oxygen, which in turn fuels the fire. There's actually very little li

It doesn't sound nice to those who had at least a lick of Latin and Greek - so most Europeans. The Romans conquered the Greeks militarily, but the Greeks conquered the Romans culturally. Saying "octopi" indirectly attempts to

The yogurts at the back of my fridge still freeze up. There's going to be a temperature gradient in a typical fridge, if only because one side is getting opened every now and then, and the other is separated by all the products which a

I've always known these as Hacker Koans. > “These enlightened ones,” he protested, “gave us the Great Way of Unix. Surely, if we mock them we will lose merit and be reborn as beasts or MCSEs.” I love how enduring is Microsoft's

My worry is that they're not bringing anything new to the table except "this is actually possible if you will it". On the flipside Canon's Nanoimprint Lithography promises lower cost, even if their feature size is 15nm i

Why yes. Also, rooting is out of the question. The way out appears to be carrying two phones, but that's not practical.

I wouldn't say comfortably - they're brute forcing it by using UV sources suitable for much older nodes. End result requires more energy, has lower yield and is overall more expensive. For military purposes and whatnot that's

My bank eventually understood this, which is why currently you can check in the app whether on their end they're seeing that you're talking with their sales rep and which one specifically.

Guardia di Finanza is the most militarized branch of Italian law enforcement and if they knock on your door (provided they bother knocking), you better comply. To me it seems excessive to call specifically on them - regular police would suf

I've held on to my S8 as long as possible, because even if the battery wasn't removable any more, it lasted the lifetime of the device, despite heating up considerably during the summer. My current Xperia 5 maintains battery tempe

I don't think it's really factual. Ultimately it's about the energy invested to on one hand keep civilization running and on the other dispose of its products in a non-disruptive manner. There's an overabundance of it fr

That's a relatively minor danger. My father, before retirement, was responsible for certifying medical devices. The number of outright scams which reached his desk was off the charts. Half of that stuff didn't work as advertised,

Ironic Google Maps locations are amazing. There's an only partly paved parking lot in my city which, until recently, was named "lake (seasonal)". That name is gone, but the main photo still features cars in ankle-deep muddy w

It's a non-issue. Copper isn't that short in supply. A typical car uses ~25kg of copper - that's enough for approximately 0.5m of HVDC. The EU currently produces 12mln cars annually, down 3mln from the 2017 peak. In other wor

My lifetime best command of Italian was when I lost the keys to my apartment and had to ask around if anyone has seen them. At that point I was already living part time in Italy for over two years, but since I was working remotely for a com

Hailing from an outsourcing destination I think I need to state the obvious: there exist IT jobs outside the US. Americans have a... distinct work culture and companies - local and foreign - are not stupid, so nowadays they aim for the 50-7
