Maybe if it's completely distinct. Else definitely no, unless, maybe, if the model is fine-tuned. Had a discussion about it with my dad whos work is developing in a non-mainstream SmallTalk dialect where it doesn't work at all.

Just saying, that will not have any positive effect until 2050. We are far to far in the incoming crash. And that is not even talking about the strain that will hit the health care sector, no matter what we raise the retirement age too.


Not sure about the US, but from what I have seen in Europe the questionnaires show that older people are actually for these policies more so than young people, especially when they are already retired and thus not affected. In Germany, two thirds of retirees answered for abandoning a public holiday while everyone else was by majority obviously against it.


I know it's a test project and one shouldn't be to stoked about a test project, but for the last year I have again and again searched for updates about it. Unfortunately, they keep it (understandably) low. Let alone the story of the 90+ year old engineer that envisioned such a project (and they are only implementing 20% of it) is so awesome. Looking forward to when it finishes and hopefully changes our view on wind power for good!


I would guess it would have to be a question of false confidence, akin to: 'What do you think of the cardinals win last night' when in fact there was not even a game. Obviously not sure if thats enough to shoot someone, but you may detect someone that is bullshitting quite well.


It's a mouse and NHP (non-human primate) study


Could also positively affect offspring if spermatogenesis is blocked at the right step, stopping the gamete progenitors from accumulating somatic mutation. The majority of rare genetic diseases arising from de-novo mutations has its origin in the fathers gamete formation (with increasing risk (i.e accumulation of mutations) at older paternal age). Maybe this could block/slow down this process (i.e cell division) and in 20 years all males that still may want to have kids will take a RARα blocker.


Wouldn't it be simpler to bank sperm when a man turns, say, 18 rather than take a risk on what an unproven medication might or might not do?


Does this actually stop spermatogenesis, or does it just result in non-viable gamete production?


Or just join the foiling community and go 40% wave riding. 80+% if pure down winding. Entree is a little more expensive but you save on not having to travel exotic locations (or not at all).


The one time I see surfing mentioned on HN and of course HN squeezes out the most nerdy take on surfing possible


Literally why I'm here


Everyone else in the water will hate you though. Everyone. Even the sea janitors are above you in social standing.


I think you have got your emotions mixed up, what you mean is called being jealous :)

No, obviously, I understand the hate towards those foiling in a crowed point breaks. But, at least in my circle, most of it happens in places where nobody's surfing anyways. Downwinding is pretty much invisible. Surfing has fallen victim of its own success with overcrowded spots (people intentionally breaking each others surfboards, come on) and the necessary travelling isn't great for the planet either (nor is a carbon foil, obviously)


Not op, just an observation, when you are underwater e.g. diving these things are really loud. Of course jet skis etc are even worse but the latter is not permitted were I go diving. Maybe that's part of the resentment.


Interesting but makes sense, TIL


Why?


Nothin personnel


Not a swede (yet) but grew up with the books (and merch): I never identified Findus as a child as he was, obviously, a cat. It was fun comic around 3-9 but I cannot say the lesson ever really made sense to me since it was just too abstract. Just funny, like the other Nordquist books. I also liked the associated PC games, which where interesting as they where quite challenging at a certain age with lots of engineering puzzles. But at that point it is really not much about Findus anymore, just the general mood that comes from the comics. Oh, and my brother loved the pancake-cake, whose receipt we somehow got from the book.


So, why didn't the board tell the other executives (and employees) what Murati had told them. When it was them in the firing line, why didn't Ilya tell that story? They could have just fired Murati (based on the screenshots presented) and continued as before. Or what am I missing?


Yeah I don't understand this either. Make a case or don't but keeping it incredibly vague, especially when so much money was on the line due to the secondary wasn't going to work.
