Of course, to do that you have to make it the ISPs problem...
And you don't think that being a part of the DDoS attack would concern the ISP? They are an integral part of the problem.
All you have to do is have them all DDoS each other until the admins fix their shit. The best way to have someone fix a problem is to make it their problem.
No. Just have the ISPs drop them off the 'net. See how fast it gets fixed then and no messy criminal charges because you stooped to their (DDoS's) level.
I want to know which hospital's don't have access to -80 freezers? These things are ten a penny in any University biosciences research laboratory. I mean you will have rooms full of them for sample storage.
I work in a hospital, albeit not in the lab. We are a mid-sized safety-net hospital and we have quite a few -40C freezers, but not many -80s that I see. But those freezers are usually used for specimens that I would not want mixed with storage for a vaccine - small risk of cross contamination but enough that they need to be segregated.
They are not exactly expensive either. A quick google shows that a 370lt -80 freezer is 4700GBP. So in the scheme of rolling out the vaccine this is a small cost compared to the vaccines themselves. You can also get smaller ones for a lot less.
Please note all units in this post are metric.
Agreed, these things run $10,000, but there's going to be the issue of procuring and setting up...not to mention I wouldn't doubt that we end up with a shortage of ULT (ultra-low temp) freezers as the thousands of hospitals in the US alone scramble to secure several of these. So like many problems, its not just an economic thing, it will be a logistical problem as well.
Awesome use of technology, and hope this becomes wide-spread. But does anyone else find it just a bit creepy? Thinking Pixar meets Stephen King?
This is a solution looking for a problem.
Once we realized most ulcers are caused by a bacteria Helicobacter pylori we learned to treat it with antibiotics which gave us cure rates > 80% and dropped the number of gastrostomies for ulcers by at least an order of magnitude and probably closer to 2 since we rarely resect stomachs anymore (causing massive drop in the number of surgeons who have a lot of experience operating on the stomach). For many of the other cases we have endocscopy, which is several decades old and a proven technology.
And what are these nebulous "complications of treatment"? We're giving older, well known antibiotics, orally, with a proton-pump inhibitor. There are a lot fewer complications with this treatment than an experimental robot implanting "living cells" (um, what cells exactly? Stem cells? Whoa boy).
So what are the advantages? Oh, yeah, we have this cool robot, but we need a problem to fix with it.
This is a common issue I see being an engineer who is also trained in medicine as opposed to an engineer who try to take on medical projects. They fail to understand how medicine works in general and how the body works specifically. I've seen projects that took months to develop, test, only to fail when I could have told them in 2 minutes why their idea would fail before they wasted their time. I'm not bragging, I'm just saying that if you looked at it medically then apply engineering you'll do much better than to take engineering and apply medicine after the fact.
Apologies to the OP of this thread, needed somewhere to plant my discussion
A lot depends on which test is used. Some are not very accurate. Roche's test claims to be very accurate, but I'll wait to see if that holds. Until then, knowing what test you are getting is very important.
This site can help explain how it works (no pay-wall)
So, that leaves 28 days, and there are 12 constellations. So it is 2.3 days per constellation on average, and varies depending on constellation (some are just narrower than others), and where the moon is relative to the ecliptic.
Except......there are probably 13 constellations, so more like 2.15 days.
Here is a clue for you, there are no deaths of people under 50 from this virus. Almost none under 65. You are fearing something that cannot hurt you or them.
Ummm, not quite. There were several young healthcare workers who died in China. I am setting the conspiracy theories aside. The risk is low, but not zero.
Even without the passenger-less cruising... how would shifting from “I drive myself to my destination” to “someone else drives over, picks me up, drives me to my destination, then drives off” be expected to reduce traffic?
Well, IIRC one of the major causes of congestion in cities is people driving around looking for parking. So in theory, yes, these services could reduce traffic, but obviously unintended consequences....
I don't think telomere lengthening automatically prevents age-related cognitive decline. So when a rich old coot gets a more youthful body, he will still be too scatterbrained to hold his own in a competitive labor market.
That is just the very first thing I thought of off the top of my head, and I don't even know if it is true. This *is* all experimental, after all. However, given how outrageously complex the human body is, I expect that reversing this one aspect of aging will not solve nearly enough age-related problems to be worth the million dollars. A "complete youth package" is needed, and we aren't anywhere near such a thing.
This treatment certainly won't reverse aging, but it could come with a nasty side dish of cancer.
It's a good start, but the problem is there will be no follow-though. These people will likely get a slap on the wrist and be right back at it in 12-18 months, and they'll be smarter - they got caught once and will probably take steps to keep that from happening again.
