It kind of is. You try to leave, the police stops you. You go to court, the court decides against you. What's not "lawful" about that (aside from the very unjust nature of China's laws)

Because you can reset the clock, and even sabotage it. In fact, that's how we produce a certain class of medicine (by now probably 10 classes of medicine, but ...) Also, there Henrietta Lacks, died in 1951 of metastasized adenocarcinom

Yes. Although, technically, no. In humans there is a massive change as the result of the first time air touches the lungs. It inflates the lungs. It causes the baby's immune system to engage, disconnect and start working. And it causes

Depends what you mean. Communism loves bureaucracy and so there are 10 different system "totally not cooperating" to prevent leaving. In China you need permission to leave the country (or even your town), and so there is no law ch

You could also say that India is below replacement fertility. Which, if Indian history is anything to go by, will mean India will outlaw emigration to protect ultra-rich Indians. China has already mostly made emigration illegal. The rest of

Do we even realize this is the very beginning of the worldwide demographic transition? American and Worldwide cities aren't replacing themselves, and they're not having children ... as a way to save. And this is getting worse. Mea

We found telomerase and tried a bunch of things with it. We can reset the "clock", or DNA being DNA, at least one of the clocks in cells, at will. Which mostly causes aggressive cancers.

The weird thing about death (as in aging, not as in accidents/getting eaten) is that it's "an invention". As in natural selection decided at one point to introduce death. It really is the case that older lifeforms don&#x

Depends what you mean by very small town. It's about 30k people. So are the neighboring towns. The nearest bigger town (~120k I believe) is about 25km away. Not quite walking or biking distance, but a short drive.

Wasn't the EU fresh from a scandal that they voted all sorts of laws, sued lots of EU companies, and then allowed Chinese companies to import lots of stuff that obviously violated all those laws for 20+ years? From safety regulations t

Because correlation is not causation. If A and B correlate there's 3 options: 1) A causes B 2) B causes A 3) C causes both B and A (in some order) 4) your correlation figure is bullshit (hence not counted in the 3 options, but certainl

I also live in a small European town and there is a convenience store and a hairdresser. Oh and restaurants. That's it. Doesn't matter if you go to neighboring towns, they're the same. One of the neighboring towns has a super

Exactly. Even though your m5 max laptop will run the x86 binary just fine, if you don't compile it for arm, your m5 max laptop drops most of its speed and only has the same performance as an x86 server ...

Where in Europe do you find large amounts of small stores? (and for real, not fake). Or is your point that Europe has a different supermarket chain per country? Malls have the same stores across countries ... but they differ, somewhat, if y

I don't think you can short it before the IPO happens. Well, unless you've got a few millions and go to a bank and have them make a product for you specifically. But for normal people, for now, not happening.

Plus there's the other question. If this thing is slower ... what's the price? The desktop/mini-pc version of this is $3000, after all. At this performance level what is an acceptable price for the laptops? People definitely
