That started in the late ’80s and ’90s, when Microsoft discovered you could ship software the way a raccoon ships garbage: everywhere, immediately, full of bugs, and with zero intention of coming back for it. Shame was deprecated. Embarrassment got a service pack and was never seen again.
Then the frameworks showed up. Visual Basic. PowerBuilder. Tools designed so that if your IQ matched room temperature, you could still drag a button onto a form and ruin someone’s afternoon. Coding was no longer a profession. It was a hobby you could pick up between meetings and a mild head injury.
The real extinction event was Java, especially its GUI framework. Swing didn’t just lower the bar. It buried the bar, held a funeral, and invited the criminally unwell and the sadistic business analyst to give the eulogy. Suddenly anyone with a corporate login and a grudge could produce “software” (term used the way “artisan” is used on a gas-station sandwich) that your overlord would then force the entire building to click until their souls filed a ticket.

Remember that?

Ironically, restoring the old methylation pattern may increase, not decrease, the risk of cancer. Here's why. When you get older, the risk of a cell's DNA accumulating damage increases. Sometimes, this damage can provide the mutations to make the cell cancerous. In order to prevent that, the cell silences gene expression by methylating sections of the DNA. Reference: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/a...

Now when you go and do a fool thing like "restore the reduced DNA methylation patterns typically found in young cells" (without repairing the damaged DNA) .. you're actually undoing the bodies protective mechanism and actually increasing the risk of cancer.

Upon reading the paper I quickly realized, predictably, that it's all baloney. By new heart they mean methylation patterns imprinted in the DNA. Is methylation anything to give a shit about when it comes to the heart? Most likely no. At best you could fool someone like Peter Thiel I suppose. What makes your heart give out is muscle wasting and narrowed or cholesterol'd up blood vessels .. calcification at the valves, fibrous scar tissue. The methylation pattern in the cells don't do anything much, fucked up methylation can cause cancer I suppose. When was the last time you heard of anyone dying from (primary) "heart cancer"???

I didn't know I was so interesting there'd be 12 GB of shit on me.

We need to be able to track how many such reports are made on a quarterly basis. Not necessarily the content, but at least the number of reports and to what agencies. This should be tracked from both the government and the company's side.

Yes, so eventually it will be just like Chrome?

You don't think it's shady you tell someone your idea, and they're like "hmm I could just do that myself" and they do it? That comes off as moral/ethical behavior to you?

Or we eradicate HIV, it's as simple as that. These viruses need to know we're not fucking around.

WorldVu went to SpaceX for launch services with their internet constellation idea, Starlink gets announced a short while later. Reference: https://spacenews.com/41755wor...

Huh? He made 20 bits of 300nm RAM. Impressive but doing it like that is not very scalable, the ram cells need to be 100 times smaller, error free, and the number of bits needs to be in the billions. What's his cost per bit to produce that?

There's only what .. 3 or 4 DRAM companies for a reason. It requires billions of dollars investment and hiring the right people to get in the game.

That's what they say, and slow-motion "do", to appease the customers who are screaming at them. It's not in their interest to build those.

quick correction: 1979. look up the 1979 oil crisis.

What incentive do they have to press the accelerator on DRAM production increase? High end DRAM isn't a commodity. A random person can't build a factory and start producing these chips. There's a select few companies (that aren't supposed to collude, but are all members of the same golf, or karaoke, club). There is no incentive for any of the DRAM produces to ramp up production. They have a product people are willing to pay any bags of cash for.

Why would they go do a fool thing like increase production?

Increased production, which comes with risk, will reduce the price of DRAM dramatically. Increased unit sales won't make up for the loss. That's the lesson OPEC taught the world in 1972. They reduced production by 4%, and the price of shot up 100%.

Did you catch that? The production of oil by just the OPEC countries was reduced by 4%, the price of oil shot up 100%. The inverse of that is, if you're producing oil and increase production by 4% the price of it will halve. In other words you'll make less money not more.

Who can live on that? Not in 2026.
