Those deals are not made in one week. Maybe this agreement with the Pentagon has something to do with the drama of a couple of months ago.

I wouldn't be so sure knowing the stubbornness of DHH...

The value proposition of MRSK is to deploy servers on a few machines that you physically own.

Their focus is not on serverless-cloud-native-infinite-scaling.

Some years ago, Chinese immigrants came to Japan and were looked down upon as cheap labour. Nowadays, Chinese investors are buying the best real estate in Japan, and Chinese tourists are the main customers of the luxury brand shops in Omotesando.

Japan is a country where each generation is poorer than the generation before. In China, you can give your kids a better life than the one you had.

Has Russia been defeated, though?

They may not have fulfilled all their main goals to a 100%. However, they seem to be still occupying large amounts of territory that belonged to the Ukrainian government, including most of the Dombas and the water sources of Crimea.

I think that you are watching Fox News a bit too much.

The problem is when you are using propaganda as the source of information that the life of your family depends on.

Most public healthcare systems provide excellent treatments for the majority of the population. And, if you have some rare condition that can only be treated with some state-of-the-art cure that is only provided by some hospital out of the country, and you have several hundred thousand $$$ in your bank account, nobody will stop you from paying the treatment from your pocket.

Or just have kids.

I am picking up a 16kg and a 12kg masses several times a day, and I am sure that this keeps me in shape. Basically, because I didn't have time to go to the gym in the last five years.

As someone who has done genetic screening to avoid passing a genetic illness to my children, it is not as easy as it seems.

In every IVF session, if you are young and healthy, they may be able to extract around ten eggs. Of those ten eggs, 50% will valid and will get fecundated. You are down to 5. Then, in our case, 50% of the embryos will be carriers and have to be discarded. You are down to two or three that can be implanted. And, from those, you are lucky if one gets implanted in the womb correctly and produces a baby.

What I mean it's that you can choose to a level, but you are quite limited by numbers, even if the technology improves or you are luckier, and you can get more embryos to choose from each IVF cycle.

All that, while the mother needs to be taking a massive amount of hormones that will make her gain weight, feel tired, etc... It's not a walk in the park.

By the way, we joked about the "boutique baby" with the doctor, and she told us that there are many traits that they could select but that it was illegal for them to do so.

Facebook cares about their customers, which are the companies that want to use its AD network.

Users are not customers.

> Also, what about windmills on the ship itself?

You mean, like sails?

I think that the problem of this article is the Dan equates DRY code with clean code. Dryer is not always cleaner.

My $300 OPPO phone alerts me when there's dust in front of the lens... Maybe maybe Tesla could benefit from some similar technology.
