If you are going to manually select for better mitochondrial DNA, what's the difference between that and manually selecting every other bit of DNA.
Sure, we select DNA when we choose a mate, but when you're twiddling with it below the cellular level what's keeping people from custom babies? Allowing *just* this will permit for a race of super men, bred for their superior metabolism by simply selecting better mitochondria.
"But this is for fixing a specific disease." Sure, but that doesn't make the results any different. You engineered a "better" baby. Why can't anyone else do that. What makes you and your broken DNA special? I want to engineer out acne & BRCA mutations. Oh, too bad for you, can't pay for custom baby fixing and now your baby is stuck with Alzheimer's. If we're just "fixing" things with babies, red hair is a "defect", let's remove that and replace it with blonde...
"Students who gain access to a home computer between the 5th and 8th grades tend to witness a persistent decline in reading and math scores," the economists wrote, adding that license to surf the Internet was also linked to lower grades in younger children.
I mean, if the WiFi was "good", free, and there were multiple APs with plenty of antennas and bandwidth... would you use it? Especially at a convention?
Even if it's encrypted, people are just going to sniff out your traffic, because they know the key too. The benefit cellular hotspots confer is that only YOU know the WPA2 key.
It's not like women currently in the profession are going to get paid more in this situation. Increasing the talent pool drives wages down. If you do this via H-1B or attempting to reduce barriers to women, you get the same results.
The OP wanted to know why everybody is making a giant fuss about it. It's not because companies suddenly developed a moral compass, but rather they figured out how to dovetail a "win-win" by adopting the cause. They get good PR, diversity increases, talent pool increases... but most importantly: costs go down.
There's no way to fight against this sort of wage suppression other than unionization, so if sexists want to use this as an argument, they'll just look like... sexists?
I can give you the most politically incorrect reason that companies are falling over themselves to push this.
It's the same reason they fall over themselves for H-1B and other immigration reform.
They want cheaper labor because tech skills are rare. If there are equal numbers of women that are smart enough to program, but being held back by invisible barriers, it's in their financial interest to remove those, because that will create a larger supply pool and push down wages.
Bla bla bla other factors about how it's a good idea anyway, but we all know what really drives capitalism.
The feature is called Target Display Mode and it is not available in the 5K iMac. It may return when it gains Skylake CPUs with Thunderbolt 3.0, because there is no DisplayPort currently capable of sending 5K data.
Don't worry, once they've used you as a beachhead into requiring the devices for all car insurance, I'm sure there would be no unintended consequences of setting a precedent for allowing your insurance company to monitor all sorts of things that are going on about your car.
No, I agree with that statement. I just don't agree that separating the app procurement from the OS makes it any less about the OS/platform/whatever, because the OS dictates how you get them.
in regards to iOS, the store and the OS are inseparable
in regards to Android, the OS allowing side-loading is the avenue that allows malware to enter
technically, it might matter as to if you say it's an OS issue or a "platform" issue, but practically, the nature of the OSes make the difference on this issue moot
Somebody please tell the iPhone dev team that baseband security is so bad. They've been terrible at finding and exploiting these problems since the A5 baseband in the iPhone 4S.
Probably the larger issue that drives this is that they can do *some* kind of check on the system before they hand over the BluRay decryption keys. That way they have some leverage over somebody who would⦠I don't know⦠get the master key and use it on their BluRay player binary.
Many programmers and server admins moved to OS X as their desktop machine because of its Unix base. You can have a nice desktop, commercial app support, and not be far away from a command line environment.
If GNUStep can get compatibility, then developers can cross target OS X and Linux with their apps.
Windows has nothing in common with Linux. All you're doing by throwing money at Wine is perpetuating the Windows Way Of Programming. At least with GNUStep it starts with the assumption of Linux or BSD Unix.

"Apple is contacting customers who paid for a repair either though Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider to arrange reimbursement."
They're going to cut a check to apologize. Who does that?
... we should ignore the trolling TFA and concentrate this discussion on the autoplaying video?

IMO, allowing this is a slippery slope.
Make sure it requires authentication. Set up your filters. Then set your proxy settings to use that server.
Can Students Have Too Much Tech?

What exactly is a vertical monopoly going to do against Honda? Note that Honda is free to create one as well, in this situation...
IP Multicast sounds great until you hit the cell tower. Aren't all those signals encrypted per-phone?
More technical detail as to what is going on.

HFC MAC wrong? Refuse to connect.
Voter intimidation is easier when you don't have to get them to register for an absentee ballot ahead of time.
Last time I checked the ACM was pro software patents, but I can't verify that is the case now because as others have said, their website is awful.

So, the iOS solution is to not _let_ users install apps from untrustworthy sources.
Android doesn't have a solution... so... there's that.
How is that not an iOS vs Android issue?
That's why the change occurs on Sunday morning, not Monday...
AAC is no more "proprietary" than MP3.

Well there's not really an argument as to if a giant picture of Saturn is cool or worthy of attention on /. so... not much to say?
Easy portability from OS X to Linux/FreeBSD.
Many programmers and server admins moved to OS X as their desktop machine because of its Unix base. You can have a nice desktop, commercial app support, and not be far away from a command line environment.
