Well, the obvious explanation to me is that that did happen, and then the person died of some cause unrelated to these specific signalling molecules. Possibly another cause of aging.

In 1850 the leading cause of death in the US census was "zymotic diseases" and cancer caused death in the triple digits. In 2020, almost none of the diseases in the "zymotic" category are significant in the US, but we're still dying. We've cured croup and scarlet fever, so we don't die of those much any more--instead we live long enough to die of heart disease and cancer. Cancer didn't kill many people in 1850, but that's only because "zymotic diseases" killed them before they could develop cancers.[1]

I think it's likely that there are many causes of aging, and they will behave the same way: as we eliminate some causes of aging we'll live long enough to die of other causes of aging that take longer to potentiate.

Given most people who reproduce do so before the age of 50, there's not really an evolutionary pressure to not age--in fact, there may actually be evolutionary pressure to age so you die off and leave more resources for more efficient (younger) organisms carrying your DNA. Ghengis Khan, the most evolutionarily successful person in history, died at 64 or 65. So if a person did produce these signaling molecules, they wouldn't necessarily gain any evolutionary benefit from them.

[1] Obviously "zymotic diseases" is a nonsense category in modern medicine--most were bacterial infections, some other forms of infections, some completely misattributed to infection. The point here is that most of them weren't cancers or heart disease--the things that kill Americans today.
Games are very different programming. Code surrounding games - lobby, game server lists, marketpaces, IAP - this is pure CRUD, and it's entirely unrelated to the game code.

Nope.

No it's not. That's a common misconception, but the studies show that USD is used about 100x more than cryptocurrencies for crime. This is because:

1. Criminals don't want their activities to be tracked on a public ledger. Cash is anonymous. Bitcoin is not.

2. Criminals already have money laundering systems in-place, and relationships with corrupt bankers.

3. Cash is accepted at more places. So it's more useful to have.

We're talking trillions of dollars in USD crime here. It's not even close.

I _have_ used it - for example, Visa/Mastercard won't allow you to buy marijuana seeds, even in jurisdictions where it's legal, so crypto is great for that.

But over the last few years, bitcoin has gotten _harder_ to use for transactions, as the blockchain has gotten more crowded. In theory, the "lightning network" is fixing that problem, but at this point I usually transact in other cryptocurrencies - there are plenty of them that have stable enough prices for that! But I still own bitcoin as speculation and as a sort of savings account :shrug: It's been a good investment so far

Separately from regulation, there's also the question of how comfortable people are at returning to their old virus-care-free routines. One anecdote reported from a visit to Wuhan is that after restrictions were lifted and people were permitted to more freely move around outside, there weren't many people who were interested in going back to eat at restaurants -- to the extent that a restaurant owner who was planning to reopen a number of restaurants ended up leaving them closed.

>Office layout that needs a complete rebuild

My partner works for [LARGE BUSINESS]. She works on their real estate team, and until two months ago was working on a massive densification project to get more desks in existing square footage to accommodate a hiring boom.

Now? Shit, the C-level has asked her team to entirely scrap that and instead do the exact opposite, rethinking their entire company’s footprint to encourage distancing and limiting daily office occupancy.

Her head is spinning a bit but it has been fascinating to watch from the outside.
It is hard to reconcile the fact that it's so easy to get enough D from sun in a short time with the fact that deficiency levels are roughly 40% in the US, with insufficiency (20-30ng/ml) much, much higher than 40% (and also high is much of the rest of the world). Look at the world chart in the paper (copied from Palacios et al review): 73% insufficiency in Austrelia, 61% in Britain even in summer, etc.).

I hope I'm just being cynical, but I base my attitude on the general trend in the industry at least in any realm related to either cloud or mobile. Everything is about herding people into some kind of closed silo and then locking the door, or on the consumer front about invading peoples' privacy in new and creative ways.

I do agree in principle that it's harder to pull off this kind of lock-in with knowledgeable customers of the sort that deploy things on AWS.
I think this is a good point. There was supposed to be a coordinated reopening with the tristate because of that thought, but maybe that plan changed.

I understand electricity reasonably well, but that video has left me very confused. Multiple watchings didn't help.

The first issue is I don't know what is real and what is metaphorical. The hydrogen orbitals are real? Are they squashed like that?. But the rotations are entirely fictional? Or do they correspond to electron spin? Do hydrogen atoms really share electron clouds or is that a metaphor?

Several specific issues: Ionized hydrogen doesn't have an electron, so what is the electron cloud. The ends of the wire rotating clockwise vs counterclockwise: the wires are pointing opposite directions, so the opposite directions cancel out, and they are rotating the same direction? Making a wire of single-file hydrogen: is that even theoretically possible? How is there drift velocity when the atoms are just rotating in place?

I understand that voltage is represented by the rotation speed in this model. (Is this different from momentum?) But what is current in this model? Everything was spinning when the circuit was open, and everything is still spinning when the circuit is closed.

What "level" of electricity is this model supposed to explain? It's discussing circuits, but I don't see how this model helps one understand why you need a resistor when connecting a LED to a battery, for instance. The resistor reduces current, which is not spin but propagation of an impulse? Or is the model supposed to help understand electric fields and stuff? (How would this model even explain an electric field in a vacuum, where there's nothing to spin?) Or is it intended to provide insight into what's happening at the quantum level?

I don't want to be critical, so hopefully these comments are constructive.
I don't think that this research is going in that direction. It may end up being a very cheap and effective treatment/cure for diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or other maladies that affect the old disproportionately. Also, it seems that there is hope that it will be a cheap treatment.
You are correct, once again, all properties were available both by property name (if used in an associative context) and by numeric index. Since we assigned 'length' already in the constructor, we would have to accommodate for this, i.e., start counting at 1.

Turns out, my recollections are a bit on the rosy side… :-)

Edit: This should work:

function MyArray() {
this.length = 0;
}
function arrayPop() {
return this[this.length--];
}
function arrayPush( value ) {
return this[++this.length] = value;
}

var a = new MyArray();
a.pop = arrayPop;
a.push = arrayPush;
a.push('a');
a.push('b');
alert( a[1] ); // 'a'
for (var i = 1; i <= a.length; i++) alert( a[i] );

at which point it is much simpler to do:

function MyArray() {};

var a = new MyArray(), aLength = 0;
a[aLength++] = 'a';
a[aLength++] = 'b';
for (var i = 0; i < aLength; i++) alert( a[i] );

var b = new MyArray(), bLength = 0;
// etc

which is also, what was actually used.
Picking out a small handful of obvious failures is not a useful exercise for or against regulation. Regulation has had numerous incredibly life-chantingly beneficial effects on our lives. Thanks to the EPA, the rivers no longer literally catch fire. I'd trade one Enron for lakes of water instead of lakes of fire any day.

Regulation can be good, regulation can be bad, how you do it matters far more.

> Unless, we believe magically more people are dying this year due to heart attacks or respiratory diseases

I wouldn't say it's "magic" but I do think that this year has been very abnormal to the point that mortality rates aren't directly comparable.

Nobody is saying coronavirus isn't real. A lot of people are dying from it, but that doesn't mean it can't be overreported.
> What about .jsx though?

I think it's a fine enough solution, but the fact that it's a different syntax from your standard js objects encourages people to consider the VDOM objects as "not normal data", but they are. Notation as a tool of thought innit.

This is incidental. JSX can be extended beyond just representing HTML nodes, and IMO has far cooler consequences as first class .bind() notation vs. its current use as an alternate call notation (which already has a notation of course in the form of appending parenthesis to an identifier). Namely, you can begin to curry JSX nodes. For the purposes of discussing HTML specifically, you can do things like:

const myPre = <pre style = "color:red">;

<myPre>hi</myPre>

You can actually then take this and end up with a more powerful object notation too (especially for representing tree-like data). I discuss this extensively in my blog post here: http://tolmasky.com/2016/03/24/generalizing-jsx/
"what does this help me grasp"

That electricity can be explained with atoms! And not the kind of bohr-model atoms that are thoroughly debunked (electron bead flying around nucleus magically). If we treat them like gearing shells, as chemists have for decades, we can provide a model of electricity that is consistent with quantum mathematical descriptions of the atom's shape and motion.

I don't think this is true, at all. Would love to see a source that testing right now is constrained by people unwilling to get tested and not by capacity to test.
I was trying to phrase my thoughts in a way that didn't come off as too aggressive, "professional" was the first word that came to mind. Maybe "civil" is a better word?

I recently came to a realization about negativity in my communication with others in technical discussion and documentation, using a lot of similar language to the authors', and after looking in the mirror a bit I found I was being a jackass that prevented growth of projects that I work on, professionally or otherwise. Don't take that to mean anything about this work, it's a comment on myself.

If I come off as a hypocrite, I apologize. I was just trying to highlight that I dislike negativity in documentation because it's not nice to poop on someone else's work. But its paradoxical to highlight that in others' work without seeming like you're pooping on it.

Apropos visualizing atoms and their electrons, here's a fun sidebar. This IBM video[1] was made with an STM scanning tunneling microscope, which sees outer electrons. So while it shows the IIRC carbon monoxide molecules, standing up like buoys, as little balls, the background copper surface of delocalized electrons looks smooth, with ripples. You can't see the individual copper atoms. But if you instead used an AFM atomic force microscope, which can feel inner electrons, then you could - here's one of silicon[2].

When crafting and teaching abstract representations, it's easy to forget that these are real physical objects.

Why have a “halving” every four years, you may ask?

Having a periodic “The Halvening” ritual every four years allows Bitcoiners to reconcile and forgive each other’s trespasses for one, it also gives Bitcoin a nice bump of attention in the media and on social media, and finally it gives the Bitcoin High Priests an opportunity during the ritual to re-iterate the Bitcoin Commandments (eg. “Thou shall worship fixed monetary supply” and “thou shall not worship other consensus rules”). All this strengthens the community, and thus, the consensus, and a strong consensus is part of the main selling point: to get filthy rich.
... the thing Bitcoin set out to eliminate? Now it has the same flaws as the regular financial system, but much less efficient. Where do I sign up?
I hope you are too. As technologists and professionals I think we need to be ever-vigilant to build in responsible ways that support the public good. That includes being mindful of safety, security, and privacy concerns. And also creating or extending inequities.

> Ahh the old "greater good", most violations of human rights begin with a speech about the greater good...

And yet, plenty of controls to protect people don't turn into permanent revocations of human rights. Why, when this argument comes up, do we conveniently forget about those? Do you really think that the plan of governments around the world is to cripple their GDP output and keep everyone locked inside as some sort of mass population control exercise? And a pandemic that would benefit from these types of actions was just a great time to pull the trigger without anyone noticing?

I honestly don't understand this argument. On one end of the spectrum you have complete freedom with no laws, police & fire departments, public education, militaries, government welfare programs, airport security, etc. On the other hand, you have whatever world you fear we'll end up in when all of our rights are stripped. It would seem to me that most first world countries sit somewhere between those two, because we've generally decided there are many freedoms we're happy to give up (some temporarily, some permanently) for the betterment of society overall. Particularly those where one person's freedom would directly impact another person's right to life.

You can certainly say that you think we should open the country back up and that these restrictions are unnecessary, and provide your supporting data for that argument. But suggesting that this is some fundamental violation of human rights feels like quite a reach.
Bond holders have a certain legal right to claims on assets of a company that becomes insolvent - I'm not sure what legal rights USDC holders would have.

But either way, I think most people would not tend to view something like USDC as a bond (in which the bond holder is a creditor to the bond-issuing organization, with the associated risk-adjusted return on capital), but more like cash.

As with many comments in this thread, carefully reading the originally linked review: http://agingbiotech.info/vitamindcovid19/ would help. One of the 3 recent preprints specifically noted repeated testing of C19 patients and they did an ANOVA statistical test and determined that D blood levels were not declining in the patients over the course of the infection.

This doesn't prove causality, but it rules out the reverse causality you hypothesize in this post. There is a good, concise (3-paragraph) sub-section on the causality question in the discussion section called "Correlational data supported by many pieces of causal evidence". Mandatory reading for anyone who reacts with "correlation doesn't imply causation" as a criticism.
