We already live in a world where parents decide whether or not a child with Down Syndrome will be born.
60-90% of prenatal diagnoses in the US result in an elective termination. The number is nearly 100% in Iceland and some other Nordic countries. Unlike autism or ADHD, we have a very clear understanding of exactly what causes Down Syndrome and now potentially how to correct it. A treatment like this is no different from correcting a congenital heart defect - it gives a baby a chance at normal, healthy development.
Well there was that one time Germany owed everyone a lot of money after the Treaty of Versailles and it kind of directly led to Hitler’s rise to power and another World War… makes sense for them to be a bit more conservative than other countries.
It seems you are under the impression that the venture capital firm cofounder by Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz was created by a single individual.
If you can’t get basic facts correct no one is going to take your other claims seriously. A16Z has a diverse portfolio of investments and are as famous as they are because of how successful their companies have been.
Oh, please. Bitcoin is a protocol with no more inherent value than SMTP.
Aside from being the Catholic cryptocurrency, it has been surpassed technologically in every way by newer and better designed protocols. Why would anyone who doesn't already own Bitcoin choose to use it for anything over, ex. Ethereum?
Bitcoin maxis aren't technologists; they're grifters trying to convince you their magic beans are the most special magic beans.
I’m creative but have never been adept at sharing visual ideas in my head with the rest of the world. I’ve found genAI image tools empowering because for the first time I can turn an idea into my head into something other people can see and enjoy. I’ve used it for everything from portaits and memes to recreating scenes from my memories that I don’t have photos of to help me remember.
I use credit cards for all of my spending. One gives me 4% back on fuel, another 3x points on travel and dining, etc. Paying with cash/debit is less economical because you forgo these rebates and incentives.
I also pay my cards in full each month so there are no interest charges, just a few with annual fees that are more than covered by the card benefits.
