Comment Re: I'm all grown up (Score 1) 84

Hmm, but given her profession and what she has access to, maybe there has to be constraints. Say she was doing other gain of function self-experiments that could somehow pose a danger to others? Probably unlikely, I dunno, but I'm not sure if all constraints should go out the window. I still think what she did was brave, and shouldn't have the info suppressed. We should learn what we can from it.

the judge also said:

"The judge said the FTX case is probably the greatest financial fraud perpetrated in the history of the U.S., and because of that a “literal get-out-of-jail-free card I can’t agree to,” Kaplan said in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, where Ellison’s parents and two sisters looked on from the courtroom’s gallery"

Even with full compliance her getting two years is a laughable joke.

but there's only a surplus of people because they're still suffering, but as they become a developed country down their fertility rate will go as well, and all the developed countries are showing no signs of their fertility rate bottoming. immigration might be good for the country's economy, but if your citizens stop having children that's probably a sign that something is not working.

If you and I make plans to plant a bomb over the phone, a telecom isn't responsible for that because they have common carrier status. Would that change if it was a text message and it was stored on their servers in plaintext?

Do any instant messengers enjoy the protection of common carrier status? Can an instant ever qualify for common carrier status?

the population will never head to a decline, not while there's immigration. governments won't allow the population provided they have immigrants wanting in.

a big factor no one mentions is women prioritizing a higher education and career. while this is a growing priority, we will see the fertility rate continue to decline.

Showing your ignorance, posting something publicly does not imply you forgo copyright protection. They still retain their copyright whether they post something publicly or not.

AI will probably change copyright law, but as it stands, they are offside using images without permission.

Saying, 'your honor but they posted it publicly' is not a valid argument. Sounds like a whining argument.

here's the difference. the invention alone wouldn't be able to provide these thousands of images that OP could generate without the collective works of numerous artists. they never agreed to be a part of this invention nor are they compensated. and again without them the software is literally useless. so I don't think it's comparable to past inventions.

Comment Breast cancer and children (Score 1) 110

Most of these cancers are probably environmental/diet but I read recently that women who have children at a young age, have a lower incidence of breast cancer vs women who have no children. And this protective mechanism is even stronger in young women who have multiple children. They believe a protective mechanism takes place in the breast tissue when breast feeding.

But women who have children later in life have a higher incidence of breast cancer than women who never had them. They believe women having children later in life have anomalies multiply during breast feeding.

I wonder could they safely induce breast feeding in young women to benefit from this sans offspring? Or maybe it's too bad we live in a society that can't afford or doesn't want children.

Comment I hate these articles (Score 0) 129

There are countless articles saying this about vitamins but yet we fortify milk and cereal with vitamin d. Why would they work when added to a food source but not taken on their own?

I stopped drinking milk and eating cereal years ago. I live in a cold climate where in the winter I get very little sunlight.

Even though I eat healthy it's difficult to get vitamin d from no fortified food sources, so I take a supplement as one should. But yet studies and even doctors I talk to say they are useless.
