This story and the guy curing his dogs cancer leads me to believe what's missing is a jurisdiction that allows people with money to do whatever experiments they want/need to move medicine forward.


Do you really expect people to let you possibly kill people with medical experiments without even having to file some paperwork?

Countries are already trying to attract clinical trials, and that includes streamlining approvals.


I have met people who credibly are able to do some of this at Prospero. The downside to this siting is that the local government are not super reliable but it’s possible.


Paolo Cortazar, is that you?


Sorry but that’s an insane statement


Jesus fucking Christ we are so fucked.


The real question is why? How does this make meta more money?


This is not about making money.


I think the automatic answer people have for big corporation - to have more data is usually false. I think they don't care about your data that much. And generally they respect it. They mostly need data to target ads and they have it already.

I think in case of regulations like this, it would be harder for small players to participate in the market, and thus they would prefer to use Facebook or Instagram instead of opening a website or their own system. The same with cookies alerts, GDPR, DMA, etc. It is not a problem for a large player to implement it, but now creating a fully legal website processing data becomes quite expensive and it is easier to just use a platform provided by a large player.


Because it allows them to collect more personal information which is illegal, at least in EU ( for the moment,)


Afaik whole scheme started when Australian politicians threatened gambling advertising ban.


I'd be curious to see. Probably requires a fine balance on how interrupting happens.


I am wondering why no one is using the wonderful LLM coding tools to cut branches of open source apps rewriting them for consistent UI. From my experience with them so far this is a task that they would be really good at especially if the underlying codebase has decent test coverage.


2 decimal places is the difference between employment and ownership. 100k vs 10MM. That is the comparison you really want to think about.


No, 100k and 10,000k each have one decimal place. Two decimal places is the difference between 100k and 104k.


Wouldn't it be the difference between 100k and 140k? 105k rounded to lose two decimals of precision would still be 100k.



Does this exist for Android TVs, I'd love to get rid of the garbage on them.


I think whatever "linguists" did this "research" must be undergraduate internet searchers. For example in Russian the words "fignya/fignyushka" or the less polite "huynya/huynyushka" are used in a very similar way. They are a noun representing an abstract "thing" that the listener would understand from context.


What about the diesel fuel burned hauling the additional weight of the batteries and panels on those trucks? Is it actually a net win?


Good question. Diesel has a relatively efficient conversion ratio to electricity.


Nevertheless is hauling the extra diesel more economical and environmentally sound than hauling the PV equipment?


It'd be a really cool if there was a browser plugin that showed you the provenance of any news you read. Like first appeared here, then here then here....


Block chain is rudimanting about throwing himself into the discussion :)


*Without burning coals in every corner of the planet when a simple trusted db suffices at 0.01% of the cost


But how can you trust the truth if it hasn't been NFT'd?
