Comment Business Software Aliance? (Score 1) 82

Regardless of what you think of VMware/Broadcom and the plentora of alternatives, doesn't the article suggest that the user is using VMware beyond their bought licenses (read: more cpu's etc.)? If so, how is this different than the typical Business Software Aliance visit when there is suspision of wrongdoing?

This is in Dutch. https://www.agconnect.nl/partn... The main reason is that the heat temperature is relatively low, therefore low caloric. Heat pumps could obviously increase that, but if you start with only 30 degrees and you would need to go to 70 degrees, that is quite a leap. If you would accept temperatures less than 50 degrees, every home would need a dedicated heat pump.

Comment Re:That is something different (Score 1) 295

I meant something different. The suggestion that magistral preparation would be just adding solvents would in my honest opinion mean that the source material the solvent is added to is the medicine. Hence, if there was a shortage of medicine, you wouldn't have access to the raw medicine in the first place. Creating the medicine from raw materials (read: the production process) is one of the things that is typically specific to a brand, where the extra's like stabilizers make the results between generics in people so different. So if you can create your DIY medicine because the production process works at home lab scale (but for scaling up, it won't work) that might be a very good thing for the local pharmasist doing their magistral preparation, but not for a competitor that would need to have a well designed reaction chamber and maybe some proprietary catalyst for mass production.

Comment Re:Using one's own stem cells? (Score 4, Interesting) 81

I think there are multilpe things to consider. If this is a genetic defect, ones own stemcells must be first repaired, that may be a crispr-cas9 kind of technique. And the stemcells must be put in an envionment where they start to produce Islets of Langerhans. I wonder why the article mentions immunosuppressants, in case they are the stemcells created from skin, they are body native.
