Then why is there no large-scale moral outcry over IVF? The process creates and discards a number of fertilized eggs, each of which has unique DNA. Isn't that the much more pressing issue, both considering the procedure is never medically necessary for survival of the woman, and considering that the embryos are created in the knowledge only few will develop into a full human?

Not sure how you define large scale but there are religions who do have a moral objection or at least rules around Ivf. As an example for Catholics each embryo must be treated as sacred and respected as human life. If you have extra embryos you must do everything possible to respect that life (ie transfer the embryos to someone in need and/or keep in cryo until that can happen). These rules aren’t typically known because ivf is a small minority of people that actually go through the process.

Top on this, LastPass premium prices went from $12/year several years ago to $36/year. Kind of gone to crap now that LogMeIn bought them up.

Can't say this wasn't unexpected given their history with other acquisitions.

My speedometer 2.0 tests on Firefox 70b12 win64.

No password addon: 74.5

Bitwarden: 74.0

Lastpass: 39.7

Pretty grim for LP.

Thanks for posting. I figured this issue wasn't just chrome. Been meaning to switch to BW and this might be the kick I needed instead of 'just living with it' anymore.

I fell prey to the “sunk cost” fallacy - after the first full day when they asked me to come back, I thought: a) it would be a shame to “waste” that first full day of interviewing by saying no now and b) surely nobody would be a big enough asshole to ask me to take two full days off of work to interview with them only to reject me after the second day, so surely this second day is just a formality.

Apparently I was wrong.

And no, it was just a regular programming job, nothing special.

As much as it sucks, it sounds like you dodged a bullet on that one.

It is though. It doesn't cause cancer and it's not injected with antibiotics.

I don't think that claim can be proven yet. It takes a bit for that research to come out to say it may or may not and this is a relatively new product.

I wish the article would shed some light on why the police doesn't use domestically produced tear gas. I don't understand how it can be feasible for them to import tear gas to Hong Kong from the US.

Previously working for a company that did create some less than lethal equipment, I can say few main reasons. One being proprietary knowledge into the devices as well as capabilities to get specific chemicals required to manufacture some of which are highly regulated. The other and probably the largest reason is the margins (profits) and quantities produced are not that large. This is normally why you see defense contractors who have other means of profits do this since its something they can bundle into a sale for law enforcement. That would be my main guess for import low need and cheaper to just import stock vs setting up an entire factory not to mention the requirements necessary to store the chemicals safely. The image in the article does do a good job of showing how they have physically separated the buildings on the property.

Now I'm curious if they should do this for women's voices getting lower. It sounds like it to me that they are. Lady gaga and Lana Del Rey come to mind for recent examples.

Does Bad Romance even have the millennial whoop?
humantiy · 6 years ago
It does, its just harder to tell. Its right at the beginning and I believe in the chorus as well.

Its just not as good of an example as Owl City Good Time https://youtu.be/7oBU7d5oenQ?t=62

Spending billions of borrowed dollars on junky “original” content was the beginning of the end for Netflix.
humantiy · 6 years ago
I'd say it was when they decided to get rid of star ratings for thumbs up thumbs down ratings, but I think that original content was close to the same time.
