Issues with the child are rarely the reason why couples can't have children. Many people, both those with reproductive issues and those without, will have children that miscarry or are born with problems irrespective of how the female becomes pregnant.
It is usually to do with the reproductive system of one of the parents. eg not enough active sperm in the male, hormone resistance in the female, polycycstic ovaries, etc.
For us my wife's body was resistant to estrogen. This meant she effectively didn't have a cycle and didn't produce eggs which were mature enough to be fertilized. She needed large doses of follicle stimulating hormone for the first 14 days of her cycle follower by a massive does of HCG and then an operation to harvest the eggs.
Outside of this though she was perfectly able to carry a baby to term. So after the harvest cycle she had lower doses of FSH to get the lining of her uterus ready and then had an embryo transplanted.
Sorry I meant that as "AC, wait till you can't have kids and see how you feel about using IVF then. Easy to say 'natural selection' when you have no skin in the game."
For both my kids we needed help, and the 2nd one was 2 cycles of IVF and 8 embryo transfers. I wouldn't wish that experience on my worst enemy.
There are a bunch of things I get frustrated about when using widows. NFS mounts of file shares, realtime access to googledrive rather than synced, having an ssh client by default instead of needing putty, multiple desktops, a better "windows explorer", but none of those are things to make the move to linux, they are things that make going back to windows annoying.
Linux is a lot easier than that these days. TBH installing something like Linux Mint on a new machine is easier than installing Windows and much much quicker.
The DVD thing is a thing of the past and now with steam running a stack of games the barrier is much lower.
That said, the incentives just aren't there. Being able to close a window with a middle mouse click, or press f3 for a split filebrowser page aren't enough incentive.
No, because this has been applied to everyone, not just the US.
China changed it's rules to say that it would not import contaminated recycling waste as the environmental costs were too high. It had a massive impact on the recycling schemes in Australia as well. We solved it by putting the price up, because people had a massive meltdown when one city (Ipswich) said they were stopping recycling.
A close friend of mine owns a specialist telco. The hoops that they have to jump through for hardware compliance are significant.
The concern is less about whether a foreign country can snoop on data than a foreign country could bring down the network by changing settings in the core networking equipment. While it is possible to isolate an internal network device, a core switch has to have its management interface accessible, and it is there that the risk is perceived.
No I don't think so. My reading is that it ONLY works if the process that triggers it is already privileged. It won't work on an unprivileged process at all.
Reading the bulletin though it only works when the process that triggers it is privileged in the first place. So there is no privilege escalation. So there isn't a way that this exploit could root a phone.
I'm sure there are things that this could be used for. But it can't get out of the particular sandbox the application that views the PNG is sitting it.
That is different to a tax break to which I was replying.
Tax credits are a different thing entirely, though usually you would expect them to be a non-refunding tax credit. It would allow them to be carried forward and for them to sit as an asset on a balance sheet, but not normally claim as cash.
If it is a refundable tax credit then whoever negotiated that deal from the government side is almost criminally negligent.
Except that a decrease in apple sales = less money at foxconn = less money available to invest = reconsidering capital investments, irrespective of whether they are dependent on apple or not.
Tax breaks are a reduction in expenses. It is not income received.
While it may result in a higher net profit for the company at the end it doesn't offset the reduction in free capital that investing in plant requires.
I'm not suggesting the plant was for producing items for apple. My suggestion is that they are forecasting a significant reduction in revenue as a result of less orders from Apple. This reduction in revenue in one part of the business now means that capital investments will be reviewed across the whole business. If you have less money coming in you are going to be less bullish about expanding.
Because if my biggest customer had a ~20% decrease in sales of an item I am a primary supplier for I sure as hell wouldn't re-evaluate major capital investment plans.... Nope not at all.
The board had previously announced that it was seriously looking at private equity options and to change that without reason would cause serious questions in the boards judgement.
Announcing that the sale would not go ahead due to inability of a buyer to secure acceptable financing though is a genuine, rational reason not to proceed.
I also strongly suspect that a large part of the share price drop would be through speculators exiting the stock now that a sale is not happening. Looking at the historical share price it looks like the correction to ~$12 is very close the the june shareprice when the buyout noise started.
For core network devices the restriction on Huawei makes sense as there is the side band maintenance network that core network infrastructure has. It's not so much them reading the data passing through the network as it is the ability for them to bring the network down.
That said you would be crazy to think the US doesn't have exactly the same capabilities in the Cisco and other US brand equipment that is installed around the world.

Actually that is highly unlikely.
The cause of their mothers problem is not genetically inheritable and is the result of bad luck.

We now have two happy healthy girls.

Wait till the day that you are there with your wife and can't have kids without help.
Not at a low level no.

They explicitly say they have no plans to and will not support linux
For the vast majority of users windows works well enough. And their PC / Laptop came with windows.
So there is no incentive to change.
I tried in the last month to get Fusion working in linux. I gave up. So I have a dual boot for the Autodesk and adobe suites.
Quite a few, Germany is one. And then there are the places where though illegal it is the norm to drive those speeds. Italy for example.

Not really.
Apple is trying to have its cake and eat it too.
Apple can either be the gateway to ios or it can be the music provider. But being both is anticompetitive.
If apples service can compete with a 1.3 multiplier then ok. But not ok without.

If your country is part of the 5 eyes group then no, no you won't get that hardware in telecos.
See TPG in Australia. They have pulled out of the 5g rollout here because huawei hardware was blocked on security grounds.

The cameras should still be on their own network and firewalled from the outside world.
With core networking gear the concern is exploits through the control network which can't be firewalled.
For core network devices the restriction on Huawei makes sense as there is the side band maintenance network that core network infrastructure has. It's not so much them reading the data passing through the network as it is the ability for them to bring the network down.
That said you would be crazy to think the US doesn't have exactly the same capabilities in the Cisco and other US brand equipment that is installed around the world.
Consider though that there is more money in existence than there is currency. By quite a long way in fact.
So for a lot of us money is no different than those 1s & 0s that make up an in game item.
