No, it was MTG

Oh yeah, defrag me harder daddy

• In the majority of cases, the extra copy of chromosome 21 comes from the mother through the egg.
• In a small percentage (less than 5%) of cases, the extra copy of chromosome 21 comes from the father through the sperm.
• In the remaining cases, the error occurs after fertilization, as the embryo grows.

But the artist said he could see a “positive side” to the incident. “It’s like a kind of performance. Ordinary people can do it too, not just artists.”

This is not true on multiple levels. One of the benefits of the Crispr technique is it can be used in vivo, so this sort of treatment will potentially be able to be used at any point in an individual's life. But also, trisomy-21 isn't present in sperm or eggs, it's a mistake in cell division early in fetal development, so applying this technique to an egg would have no purpose or effect.

All this research was done on human cells in vitro. The person you're responding to was making shit up

This research was conducted on four human induced pluripotent stem cell lines:

In our previous work, we generated a trisomy 21 iPS cell line derived from skin fibroblasts and three induced disomy iPS cell lines with different combinations of HSA21 (ΔP, ΔM1, and ΔM2) using the chromosome elimination technique

Here's the previous work

How did you even come to the conclusion mice were involved? Mice aren't mentioned anywhere

That's to trace them back to the factory

😩

How soon before someone is citing this article as evidence? 😩

Here in Austin, both Waymo and Zoox have already hit the streets with very little fanfare and no incidents I'm aware of. Not only is Musk's technology inferior, but even if it worked well, what would make his service any better than the two existing services?

He has made a serious mistake hyping "robotaxis" as the future of Tesla, because:

• He has direct competition that's already more successful than his service.
• Those competitors are funded by Google and Amazon, who have diverse revenue streams and could undercut Tesla until Tesla breaks.
• He has created impossibly high expectations from investors with a hard cutoff that's next week.
• He's looking to operate this service in cities, where 90% of people hate him personally.
• He's dependent on those cities to allow him to operate, and they'll revoke his permits the second there's an incident.
• Elon has demonstrated himself to be such an awful human being that his vehicles are likely to be subject to vandalism, dramatically increasing his costs.

I think Tesla is absolutely fucked as a company. If I had the money, I'd short Tesla stock like a motherfucker.

Just a slight correction in that it doesn't sound like the City of New Orleans has much to do with this election, as it's an election for a district the covers three parishes, the whole region. If anything, it seems like there may have been an effort to provide disproportionally more votes to the two more conservative parishes by giving the same total number of "available votes" to each polling station, whereas Orleans Parish could've hands-down elected their preferred candidate otherwise.
