In line with theoretical expectations, we have identified pricing as a particularly effective policy in those sectors dominated by profit-maximizing firms

It amazing how hard these companies fight against the things are the most effective (taxes).

Somewhere in-between is probably the sweet spot for communication to a lay-audience

That title left me wondering if I even understand English.

The idea that long living organisms can unlock methods to extend human life has been science fiction for a long time. It’s exciting to see actual research in that direction. The actual science is always more mundane than science fiction.

the researchers used techniques to “downregulate” or quiet down the activity of TEs. When they did this to specific TEs in worms, the worms showed signs of aging slower. Even more, when multiple TEs were controlled simultaneously, the lifespan-extending effects added up.

“This epigenetic modification may pave the way for a method to determine age from DNA, providing an accurate biological clock.”

They were assigned to study rat erections.

"the procedure called burst wave lithotripsy uses an ultrasound wand and soundwaves to break apart the kidney stone.

Ultrasonic propulsion is then used to move the stone fragments out, potentially giving patients relief in 10 minutes or less.

This technology is also making it possible for astronauts to travel to Mars, since astronauts are at a greater risk for developing kidney stones during space travel.

It’s so important to NASA, the space agency has been funding the research for the last 10 years.

“They could potentially use this technology while there, to help break a stone or push it to where they could help stay on their mission and not have to come back to land,” said Harper."

The point is that magnets pose a greater threat than most things that are commonly swallowed. This article identifies that risk and tries to spread the word to treat magnets as more dangerous than coins or other random small objects which may be choking hazards.

In his Telegram post today, Durov — borrowing some of the more “high-level” language that other social media executives have used — said that “Telegram’s moderators and AI tools remove millions of obviously harmful content from our public platform,” but he also swiftly moved on to defending the app continuing to allow sensitive content under the category of “war-related coverage.”

“Tackling war-related coverage is seldom obvious.” (He does not define what the line is between “obviously harmful” and “war-related coverage.”)

“While it would be easy for us to destroy this source of information, doing so risks exacerbating an already dire situation,” he continued, citing how, he said, Hamas used Telegram to warn civilians in Ashkelon to leave the area ahead of missile strikes. “Would shutting down their channel help save lives — or would it endanger more lives?” he asked in his post today.

In 120 years, people will likely have a better idea of what the trajectory of Bennu will be. No one currently alive needs to do anything at all about this. This is a science experiment for our lifetimes.

All I really need is the ability to do voice calls and screen shares.

Have you looked into Jitsi?
