They're a small team, and for most phones the port is quite easy to do (as I've been told, it's above my level anyway) for anyone with any relevant technical skill, so there is just a bit of work needed to have one's phone use Replicant...
Thanks for your informed reply, but are these mosquitoes bred in sterile environment? If not, they'll be carrying tetracycline-resistant bacteria with them, won't they?
Apart from that, amongst the millions (if not billions) mosquitoes released, who is to say that ALL of the descendants will be mutation-free and so actually dead before hatching? What genes are really included in the package beyond the sterility one, and so will be released into the natural mosquito population if a descendant survive? Gene-slicing is a darwinian process, it doesn't add ONE gene only...
And if I understand correctly what has been said, selection of the males is by culling of the females, based on size of the mosquitoes (the females being much larger). Which means there is probably a small error margin in the process, which will lead females to be released too, and have offsprings.
Basically, it seems a good idea, but are all these concerns really accounted for?
The solution not being open-sourced AFAIK, it's a bit hard to tell...
At first it seemed like a good idea to me, but raising millions of living organisms on an antibiotic?
Are all possibilities really covered then? I know that the descendants are supposed to die, but still...
You certainly know that the "Cthulhu for president" campaign usually uses the slogan "Why vote for the lesser evil?"; this year apparently they go, and righteously so, with "This time he actually IS the lesser evil"...
No, money doesn't buy genius, but geniuses too need money to live...
Financing the ordinary needs of brilliant people in order to let them pursue freely the ideas they had (which produced or not results) was the way we the humanity made science advance before the arrival of "publish or perish" mentality.
But why is everybody talking of the surface of a B747?
Isn't the idea of solar plane precisely to use a much wider surface in order to fit enough solar panels?
Downloading is ethical not because it is free to the user, but because it is free to humanity - you create wealth as you copy, you don't take it from anybody.
Yes, there is still the need to fund the initial creation, something the majors are notably inefficient at - that's why we have Patreon and Tippee and Kickstarter and such.
Yes, crowdfunding creation is nowhere in scale yet in par with creation funding needs, but that's mostly because the MAFIAA has spent tons of money these last years trying to prevent an efficient economic model to emerge...
Of course drug laws do important things: how do you fund illegal wars without the high margins they give to drug lords, all (or nearly all) ranging from close allies to proxies of the CIA?
Non-native english speaker here: what does it mean?
There is a chance that this word that you keep using actually means what I think it means, but I'd rather have confirmation...
Actually, speed-reading techniques are quasi-mandatory if one is to read Slashdot without losing too much time...
Once you find a really interesting commentary it's better to go back to normal reading, but that doesn't occur that often!
There is probably no real ethical defense for piracy, but there is certainly absolutely no ethical nor economical defense for giving money to the MAFIAA (remember, he who pays the danesgeld never gets rid of the Danes)...
So, either you go full RMS and watch/read/use only Public Domain/Copyleft works (or works that are sold directly by their authors without intermediation), either you go for the lesser evil and go to Pirate Bay to get your share of the common culture.
Obviously, if you do that you should go later to Patreon and Kickstarter or one equivalent of these to contribute to the funding of artistic/intellectual creation.
And yes, I know that Patreon and Kickstarter are intermediaries too, but they take 5%,not 90% - again, it's a much lesser evil while we work on creating a public/p2p way of funding creation and dismantle the MAFIAA.
What is interesting is that China has its own killer drones now....
The time when inviting the Dalaï-Lama will be cause for exploding suddenly will probably be interesting to watch.

Indeed... I love VLC and can't thank the developers enough for it, but why does it need to be so ugly?
Cursed panties of Torajima?

Well, according to Saudi Arabia, atheism is legally terrorism, as is "tarnishing the reputation of the state"...

Exactly, 30 yeras for a spammer is a light sentence, but for a scammer it's really excessive...
"both"
IBM T430 or Lenovo T430?
Or are they bith as sturdy?
Jon Snow? Really? He knows nothing!
Not Steel-10 then, maybe more like Steel-3?
