If you want to pick an era of technological progress to make that point maybe don't pick the one that involves America becoming a superpower by putting a bomb invented by Jewish refugees on a rocket build by ex Nazi scientists after a

That's a general rant against publically traded companies. I'm specifically asking about the original posters take that a company that makes speakers specifically shouldn't be publicly traded. Like it sounded like they though

At that point the enormously powerful central players like big tech and militaries and tax collectors will be more than incentivezed to use every remaining resource they have to bring everything back online and re-centralize power. And if t

Not exactly sure what you mean - is there some reason companies that sell speakers shouldn't be able to be publically traded?

If you really value faculty involvement etc, I might suggest focusing on finding out those statistics directly and getting a sense of what current student experiences are like. That's as opposed to relying on a proxy like student/

It's already an importany part of diagnostics and treatment! A lot of therapies are approved not just for specific cancers but for specific cancers with specific mutations. As with everything cancer it turned out to be more complicated

There are a couple OVTs that are approved by the FDA and it's a rather active area of research. One of many in the recent explosion of biological cancer treatments (immunitherapies/cell therapies, etc etc). With any cancer treatme

The former is a reason why there actually is a lot of research into this already/couple drugs approved (cancer is usually very profitable), the latter is why all drugs, not just these, need extensive clinical trials and strong regulati

You can do whatever you want to yourself. You can't hurt/encourage others, and the data may be no good, but certainly you have informed consent if you're the only subject

Well, I'm sure there's all sorts of interesting nuclear physics to be learned like island of stability stuff, but given the context of who's doing this work and competing for credit - I guess even out of the cold war context

They're both lethal because they both want to be in salt. They will turn you to salt and make themselves happy and make you dead. Alternatively if they are already salt they're chillin.

Those are great questions. The answer is going to vary (quite dramatically) by the target disease, target cell type, intended effect, etc. For example they mention that 21 percent elimination can 'reduce symptoms', so you could be

You're saying you'd rather society not invest in fundamental research into new mechanisms of curing disease with applications to prions (medically and economically devastating), genetic disease, and potentially neurodegeneration?

But right now they'd have to install ubuntu or know to buy a machine with ubuntu pre-installed. Compare to a chromebook, where it already has a linux distro, chromeOS, installed. And at this point I don't think software compatibil

Absolutely zero requirement or expectation to be technical is the biggest one IMO. For example you don't have to know or care what an operating system is or does to use macos, which is a lot less congnitive load. And some Linux based O

This is good important work - similar to the stuff about antibodies that's been looked into. Hopefully as lab automation/analysis costs keep coming down it'll become more and more feasible to implement validation/charact

Those don't really have anything to do with fine detail/nearsightedness. What they measured is valid/interesting - what they concluded is unrelated.

They didn't test that claim at all though. Vision isn't some sort of 1D sliding scale with every vision condition lying along one axis. First of all myopia isn't 'seeing fine details as blurry' - it's nearsight

Edit: Thanks to whoever changed the title for the post! jfc the media telephone chain here is absurd. "Revealing a master controller of development and ageing" becomes "AP-1: The Master Regulator." A -> the is a prett
