Senolytics, to clear senescent cells, is a fundamentally different and more theoretically sound approach in comparison to trying to override signaling that is partially downstream of the presence of senescent cells. It also works far more reliably and for many more aspects of aging in mice.

Senescent cells are one of the root cause of aging. Signaling changes in old blood are downstream of the root causes of aging - secondary and later consequences.

Senescent cells are created by the operation of normal processes of healthy, youthful metabolism, and if their numbers can be periodically culled, then their contribution to aging will be removed.

If your car is flagging, you repair the engine by replacing a damaged part, not by pressing the accelerator harder. Removing senescent cells is replacing a damaged part. Overriding signaling changes is pressing harder on the accelerator, while ignoring the damage.

>there is absolutely nothing positive about cigarettes.

This is a silly statement. People smoke for many legitimate reasons beyond having an active addiction.
This article really doesn’t add anything new or helpful to the conversation. The message seems to be “chill, people, we have been doing okay and we still seem okay, so we will be okay”, the relevant paragraph being:

> For all of the concerns of the press that there is a new brain drain in Silicon Valley, I think we can rest easy. Despite Palo Alto’s shabby look, lack of mobile payments, and lack of face-recognition software, America still has many, many desirable qualities. It’s safe and clean. Corruption is reasonably rare. Universities are still the best in the world. The bureaucracy around running a business is reasonably simple and well-trodden. Freedom of speech and expression is also strong.

There is effectively no additional information or arguments to support that in fact all other references seem to contradict what the author is claiming.

I don’t know whether or not brains are really being drained—but if I were doing business I would be wary of even the slightest possibility that sourcing talent may become increasingly difficult, Chinese or not.
Levying a sales tax based on address may hold up in court.

>the use tax is rarely paid by small consumers since it is way too complex to comply with

How so? From my understanding, all you have to do is add up all your purchases that did not have sales tax charged and multiply by the sales tax percentage.

If the government really wanted to fix it, all they have to do is slap a 50% penalty on unpaid use tax, and audit the crap out of everyone. Since it's all recorded on credit card statements, it's very easy to prove. At least it seems like that to me on the surface, but I'd love to know why that solution isn't possible.
I would guess access to the data is a decent reason to try. No need to pump the data elsewhere, if this is available.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_nanometer#7_nm_process_nodes

> The naming of process nodes by different major manufacturers (TSMC, Intel, Samsung, GlobalFoundries) is partially marketing driven and not directly related to any measurable distance on a chip – for example TSMC's 7 nm node is similar in some key dimensions to Intel's 10 nm node.
Couldn't the biggest Bitcoin miner just switch all their resources to Litecoin for a few minutes and cause complete havoc?

That particular case is not possible because Bitcoin and Litecoin require different equipment to mine, so Bitcoin miners literally cannot mine Litecoin at any speed. But when two different blockchains use the same mining equipment it is possible for miners to switch chains at any time and thus a large miner could perform a 51% attack against a small chain. So small blockchains are not secure.

Most of these projects would be better off running on top of an existing blockchain like Ethereum to avoid this problem.
Not all rap is angry and aggressive, just like not all rock is heavy metal. It's a global musical genre which can vary greatly in theme, tone and context. But the rap that is aggressive and angry is likely an expression of a culture that probably just doesn't apply to you. That doesn't make it bad, it just makes that particular subgenre of rap not for you.

If you need names for intermediate results, etc. then you don't want the pipeline operator/function. In such cases the things you say are true. But when you wan't to be more concise, with the operator/function, you can.

> Intel may never ship them before switching to MCM

Fantastic claims require fantastic evidence.. history shows that there are many ways of fixing or designing-around manufacturing yield problems. Do you have any actual evidence that their 10nm fabs will never yield a competitive monolithic server part in a financially-viable way?

> MCM is as revolutionary as AMD64

I would disagree somewhat, as AMD64 clearly benefits every customer with very little downside, while it is fair to say that MCM CPUs can create or exacerbate irritating performance problems for the customer by being "much more NUMAed". [All else equal, most customers would prefer a monolithic part, or 2 NUMA domains instead of 8-16].

What exactly do you mean by "acting on those beliefs"? Let's say you have a debate and somebody questions the very idea that gay marriage is or should be a right? What do you mean by "not OK", what should be the consequences here?

I don't even know what "Muslims are more oppressed than Christians" is even supposed to mean. There's no context.

If we're talking about expressing opinions on campus regarding gay marriage or abortion, I doubt Christians would get a "free pass" over Muslims.

I find these cute annual/monthly fees very troubling.

Any MBA, "Hay, the idiots(customers) will not blink on the low monthly reaccuring fee! It's the price of a pizza. Once we hook them, they will probally forget about our monthly bill!"

They are becoming so common, they must work?

Hell--I just dusted off an old Neat Scanner I bought years ago when I had too much money, and they now think their product is so special people will pay a monthly fee for CL----oud Service. Nope.

They don't work on my end. Rent, water, electricity, and begrudgingly the most hated company (My lovely internet monopoly) in America, and a burner phone. Yes--I've become as cheap as my father. Actually, not as thrifty as my dad, but don't like giving away money to dubious companies, and their dubious products.

I will basically write off a product if they want a monthly fee. It's not so much about the money; it's the principal art this point.

Downsides to Dying with Too Much Money
My brother in law drifts in and out of homelessness and maintains about a pack a day habit. He collects SSI, and has some meager savings from when he was working last summer, and most of that money goes to cigarettes, fast food, and whatever else he self-medicates with. I've never asked him but I wouldn't be surprised if he got them off of the black market, considering that he frequents places like Skid Row and the sprawling tent city in north Orange County.

Another anecdote, I recall that when I was in the military I actually met a guy who would buy cartons on base and sell the packs off base (they were tax free on base). He was in to all sorts of fringe black market style activities like this. He was also a bootlegger. He hawked his shit at swap meets. This guy was active duty, an E5 with what looked to be a healthy start to a career focused on his service. I learned after I had separated that he had been caught up in an investigation and was court martialed.

I also heard from my brother, who was also in the service, that a handful of active duty guys in his own unit in upstate NY would cross in to Canada to buy cartons to smuggle back across the border to sell in the US. This would've been in the late 80s or early 90s.

I guess my point is, if there's a market for this sort of activity then there is safe money in betting that it's happening some how. And it attributes itself well to the notion that people without a whole lot of money are able to engage in what looks like a very expensive habit to many of us.

This is really cool.

Quick question for any experts reading this - do Oculus or VIVE use any sort of dead reckoning/movement prediction in their tracking? Also does anyone have any documentation on the APIs for this, or information on how the devices keep track of their latency and calibration information?

There are fundamental limits on latency, especially with spread-spectrum transmission when all of this goes wireless. As accurate as the tracking and pointing are for controllers, I feel like some additional extrapolation is happening. It would be great to have an open source library for this so we can give hand-built rigs the best tracking that's mathematically possible.
Smoking cigarettes can be an effective treatment for mild cases of Tourette's. Of course, it's just the nicotine that does it, so vaping is equally effective.

> I have an intense personal dislike of smoking.

If you ever lived in an apartment with a neighbor who smokes, it turns from intense personal dislike to pure hate. I will never understand how people can smoke in their homes. It literally turns your house into an ashtray.

Unless it turns out to be more toxic.

The problem I see is that society seems to turning away from cigarettes and more towards weed and other type of obnoxious drug use.

Murder is a disproportionate response. Making it legal to throw or smear poop on someone's face would be approximately equal in my mind to public smoking. You want to smoke?

>Quick question for any experts reading this - do Oculus or VIVE use any sort of dead reckoning/movement prediction in their tracking? Also does anyone have any documentation on the APIs for this, or information on how the devices keep track of their latency and calibration information?

Absolutely. Vive uses a combination of IMU based dead reckoning combined with Lighthouse sensors to provide tracking. The dead reckoning is super important for maintaining tracking during sensor occlusion. The API it interfaces with is SteamVR, which is mostly open source, so you can even see how they’re doing it. The new generation Vive Pro will combine this along with stereo camera CV based inside out tracking for even better precision.
You didn't mention the African kings and chieftains who sold the captured members of rival tribes to the Europeans in exchange for guns and rum.

List of Over 100 Canadian Tech Company's
In most states you can't just add up everything you bought online all year and multiply, because there are different sales taxes for different categories of goods, and some items in an order might be exempt or taxed at special rates, while others aren't. So you need to at least group the items into the different categories.

For example, when I lived in Atlanta, there were four categories. Some items were exempt from sales/use tax entirely. Others were exempt from the statewide component of sales/use tax, but still subject to local option tax (groceries were in this category, so they were taxed at 2.2% or something like that). Most of the remaining items were subject to the regular statewide and local-option taxes. Finally, a handful of things (like cigarettes) had an additional excise tax added on top. To make matters worse, you pretty much need a database to determine which items go into which category; the rules around what counts as "prepared food" (fully taxed) vs. "groceries" (partially taxed) aren't entirely intuitive. Another example is that in many states (but not GA), textbooks are sales-tax-exempt, but other books aren't, so if you order from an online bookstore, you need to treat those separately when computing your use tax. The value of the individual items can also make a difference: individual clothing items under $110 are tax-exempt in NY, while those over $110 are taxable.

> all you have to do is add up all your purchases that did not have sales tax charged

This is the hard part. Credit card statements don't tell you if charges include sales tax.
Of course you can control it. In many locations it is effectively controlled where only those wanting to have poop thrown in their face will and the rest can go on without it since the vast majority of zones are poop-throwing-free (in the places I am referencing).

In the town I live in, smoking is only allowed in adult-only establishments. And those allowing smoking are the minority because many business owners realized their customers don't want it at all. Best of all worlds and the state didn't have to completely outlaw its public indoor use, just restrict it.

Just to put some numbers on this, in Greece this summer a pack of 30 g. of rolling tobacco cost €7.20. For comparison, in the UK, the same costs £13.60 or €15.42 - so more than double the money.

As others have reported in this thread the tax on tobacco is 70% in Greece. I'm not sure what it is in the UK.

The detail to take into account is that Greece produces tobacco locally. So it's going to be cheaper.

Bottom line- I'm not convinced it's the price that's making a difference.
They produce Xeon chips with dozens of cores forked off the same architecture, so that wasn't too surprising. Sticking to four cores was probably just market segmentation, like not supporting ECC memory in the consumer line, to protect Xeon sales.

I know the Vive does some kind of motion prediction for its controllers, at least in the case they lose tracking: if you quickly move a controller out of view of the lighthouses (kind of hard to do if you have the lighthouses set up well; I had to hide the controller under my shirt) then the system will show the controller continuing to move in the direction it was moving for a short bit.

Since when do datacenter servers run the internet ? The journalist seem to not understand the role of routers and network equipment to connect those servers. You could add AS to the mix but the datacenter servers are connected to the internet not running it. The internet would still work if we removed all those servers, it would work as intended even.
