The article seems to suggest that they only just found a compound which will interfere with the gene's action. So up until now, there was nothing to test.
The 2014 result only showed that gene editing before birth might prevent cancers.

Even the idea of requiring enough data to build a good system is fairly new. As late as the 1980s, expert systems were the dominant approach to artificial intelligence, and they didn't require information corpi at all but instead involved experts programming in all of the rules they could think of for a system.
Jules Verne wrote about a trip to the moon. It doesn't follow that he would regard the NASA missions as old-hat.
You can take from that what you will, but I suspect it will always seem as though we've made no progress, because anything we learn to emulate we necessarily understand well enough that it will no longer seem magical. I wouldn't put it past us to start thinking of humans as automata before we declare that machines can think.
All simplifying assumptions necessarily group some unlike elements. But we need to simplify in order to describe complex systems.
It looks a little odd but only in the same way a low-resolution undithered image does.
It's a stretch to blame that on Samsung, processor generations described in nanometres haven't been based on actual component size for years now, by any manufacturer.
No, it was intentionally designed in a way which discourages reading. In the case of this warning, it's possible that it was unintentionally designed in a way which discourages reading, but regardless the fault lies, at least in part, with the design.
Sure, there are always going to be problems you miss. I can forgive them shipping with zero-days, it happens. Failing to respond to reports is just that: failing.
The peak of the distribution of water usage is in the 40-50 litre range, however a nontrivial number of people use an absolutely enormous amount of water. The paper gives some observations about different approaches to washing, although it doesn't describe them systematically.

It was dominated by the sorts of restaurants who already had drivers (pizza joints, chinese/indian places). There was very little uptake among places which didn't already have delivery organised.
I suspect it's not the standard pronunciation in my region, since Wiktionary lists it as an alternative American pronunciation and I'm Australian, but for whatever reason that's how I pronounce it.
Nevertheless, the parent is right, in my accent hover and lover don't rhyme either. All three have different vowels.
It reads instead to me as paternalistic and honestly verging into weirdly misogynistic. More a tone of How did this mere mother manage to get involved in crime?
That the comments about it mostly come from developers or similarly tech-literate people is neither here nor there, comments are inherently personal. When I post on a forum about a feature, I'm generally presenting only my own opinion. When I'm implementing a feature, I'm generally basing it on the opinions of users, as best I can gather them.
I don't know how those two stances, or the positions between them, break down across the population, but at minimum it wouldn't surprise me to learn that it leans towards not understanding or caring.
I don't have an iPhone anymore but used to, and it was no problem that I only saw the domain, because on my phone I rarely cared about the specific address. When I'm working it's a bitch because quickly knowing the full address is useful all the time, and even at home much the same because I'm used to interacting heavily with my address bar.
I'd imagine that most people, even on their laptops, are closer to the former situation, so it's not hard for it to have relatively widespread support.
If someone can afford solar panels and an electric car (or don't need a car to get to work), more power to them, but that doesn't describe the vast majority of society.
Is it? There's an increasing antipathy towards the amount of data Google collect, many people on this forum, if not so much in the world at large, would consider that harm. If Google's hiding from me a better service that's also free, or even has an acceptable cost, I'd consider that harm.
It's only hard to argue there's no harm if their product is identical to its competitors, which is basically never true.
I don't see any problem with having arbitrary rules so long as they roughly capture the spirit of the outcome people want. The eight-hour workday is an arbitrary rule. The age of majority is an arbitrary rule. Zoning boundaries are arbitrary.
They all capture something we (most of us) fundamentally want, but the specific lines are approximate or convenient or customary.
It's good for that, but we're in the same position Americans are if we're trying to talk about something happening every two years.
