Also remember that of all of the professional industries, ours is young and still maturing. I believe that being an old programmer will become accepted in time. I believe that posts like these help to bring this issue to the forefront and i

Is there any foreseeable way to apply gene editing like this to adults? Could existing adults (us) in the future make use of this type of IQ increase?

Perhaps the focus on university is somewhat a good thing, as oftentimes that's where some change can originate from. A lot people's views are often formed in their university years.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't this a situation where they shouldn't need more legislation but rather, Government employees should already be following pre-existing law?

To be honest I hope there is middle ground, I just cannot see it. I want OSSc creators to be well compensated. These people are providing the world with an incredible service.

by josephagoss 10y ago
You're entirely correct here. These OSS creators have leverage but are either unaware or unwilling to take advantage of their advantageous position.

Haha I'm 28, from the doom and gloom I read on HN about age discrimination I should be entering retirement! :(

I think the point the OP was making (correct me if I am wrong) is that the banning of political discussion may have been a bad idea as it was obvious that this was going to happen. The leading Republican candidate has been constantly talkin

I wonder if there are ways to reconstruct stem cells from our DNA, so that we could build them from scratch.

Perhaps they are so desperate for new people that they need to hire to cover the losses?

But things have been moving that way for a long time and until it becomes common place to travel in spaceships it's going to remain that way. The real space age will again open up hardware, but make no mistake that software will play a

I thought that Dark Matter and Dark Energy are simply placeholders for our lack of explanation of observed phenomenon? In which case these types of discoveries are to be expected as we fill in the missing blanks. If so then I am happy to se

Actually worse, beggars on the street make more money.

Normally people take part of their "low" salary in shares in that case. Not here though. These developers would have been better off begging for money on the street.
