Selective breeding or selective sterilization fail under Fairness, Rights, and probably Common Good. Maybe you’d get a pass with embryonic screening, but you’re fall afoul of other considerations there. Preselection of specific eggs and spe

In an ideal world the data at rest would be normalized and you’d have a view or a derived table or something when needed to make queries fast when necessary. If you ever find a job in an ideal world, hold on for dear life and please accept

Would you propose selective breeding, selective sterilization, selective euthanasia, war, genetic engineering, or what to eradicate such a gene? What single gene that only causes bad things to happen do you have in mind? Are you sure it doe

It’s actually Iowa leading a coalition of 15 other states making demands. It’s not a prosecution yet, but they demand the preservation of evidence. They’ve promised to protect whistleblowers. They are saying there may be criminal or civil l

Just as valid as the five recognized models of ethics? Do tell. How does your model of ethics differ?

I agree ethics can be subjective, so much so that there is more than one model of ethics. However, please tell me which model of ethics supports eugenics. Is it Utilitarian, Rights, Fairness, Common Good, or Virtue?

Vim and neovim are highly configurable. Indeed, they have scripting and plugins too. Same for Kakoune, which uses KakouneScript instead of vimscript. Vis uses Lua. Micro is sort of Vim-ish, and it is scriptable with Lua. Cream and SpaceVim

Ethics is a field of study. I know some on this site loathe the humanities, but those same often don’t mind using language, psychology, and sociology to make a buck.

It’s a good thing the story is about Raku then I suppose.

Quite a bit has changed since 2007 for both Perl and Raku.

I seem to remember recent advances in TMSR research and construction. Those tend to e much safer and have safer byproducts than uranium or plutonium fueled water-cooled reactors.

I think that’s the direction the company will take if they are financially successful with their early products. This might actually be a really good technology to license out instead of trying to build a market alone.

This is neat for small flash pieces. I’m not sure I want to imagine the process for getting a half sleeve of one’s own design applied this way, fifteen millimeter diameter at a time.

If you can do that within your space constraints you’re probably right.

A Western diet is a transferable thing. Just like in the US we hear about the benefits of the Mediterranean diet or the lower rates of some diseases in Scandinavia or Japan. China has had KFC since 1987. Korean restaurants often have Katsu.

It’s not the same product category and unlikely to cause confusion. Those are two of the major considerations in trademark law at least in the US. On the other hand, the rights holder has to vigorously defend the mark or lose it. That often

The US is not so allied with its long-time allies as it used to be. Allies tend not to threaten to invade and take over other allies.

Gee… A lot of people lost their jobs at once and crime went up? Then when the economy recovered crime went down? It’s almost like keeping people educated and employed actually does work better than more police and longer sentences.

Tracking systems are also becoming more popular. You spend a little more up front but get a lot more usable power.

I used to take notes on loose sheets of paper, fold them, and stuff them into the book between pages. I guess there are lots of ways to build a system. A few books I've taken enough notes to collect them in a folder. I put section tabs

I’m not sure I’d rank him above either of those myself. Maybe not above Langston Hughes, Ray Bradbury, or Kurt Vonnegut personally. I was mostly asking about the anyone else being folly part. I think there are a few people who deserve to be
