Doctors in the US have become the first to treat a baby with a customised gene-editing therapy after diagnosing the child with a severe genetic disorder that kills about half of those affected in early infancy. Ian Sample explains to Madeleine Finlay how this new therapy works and how it paves the way for even more complex gene editing techniques. David Liu, a professor at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard and the inventor of these therapies, also describes the barriers that could prevent them reaching patients, and how he thinks they can be overcome.

I’d just like to have to trim my nails less frequently

i used to think like you, then i started (ab)using my hands for activities that wear them out. Now i’m glad that they’re growing sufficiently fast to replace/renew

There’s nothing uncontroversial about human genetic modification.
It’s a pandora’s box that just shouldn’t be opened.

wouldn’t that rather be carbon monoxide poisoning?

How the A-Frame Broke Housing Logic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCFF0aTWl3Q

The A-Frame house looks like the purest image of “home”: two walls meeting in a perfect triangle. It’s ancient, familiar, and everywhere—from mountain cabins to Instagram feeds. But as a place to actually live, it’s kind of a disaster.

This video looks at where the A-Frame came from, why it exploded in popularity in the 1950s and ’60s, and what makes it so impractical today. We’ll follow its evolution from Alpine chalets and Japanese Gassho houses, through Rudolf Schindler’s experiments in California, to its rise as the ultimate American weekend cabin—cheap, portable, and easy to build.

It’s strong, efficient to construct, and beautiful to photograph. It’s also acoustically terrible, thermally inefficient, and impossible to adapt. The A-Frame isn’t really a home—it’s an icon of escape.

if you too had neighbours like Belgium and Netherlands, you too would finally stop fucking around.

only mods can pin posts

is Franklin a known character somewhere or is it your invention?

☞ “unless you want to really learn to “self host”.”

apart from syncthing not being a backup solution, the question revolves around seldhosting im general, not purely on photo backup.

☞ “Mainly for photo storage backup.”

also, this is from syncthing-fork tips

anarcho-utopist, “mostly harmless”, dadaist + anti-speciesist

hello,

for “photo storage backup”, you can simply use syncthing.

unless you want to really learn to “self host”

easiest way is to use the convert option in VLC
