kanzurearchels: show me some recent NEURON successors. preferably ones with better names.06:56
archelsno can do07:01
archelsthings like PSICS/STEPS/MCell are relatively specialised and have substantially different goals from NEURON07:01
archelsas far as succession goes, the main development is in specification languages (NeuroML/LEMS)07:02

heathhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_video_game_crash_of_198313:01
justanotheruserwas a massive recession of the video game industry that occurred from 1983 to 1985. Revenues had peaked at around $3.2 billion in 1983,[2] then fell to around $100 million by 198513:06
justanotheruserThere were several reasons for the crash, but the main cause was saturation of the market.13:06
justanotheruserwouldn't saturation effect profits, not total revenue of the industry?13:06
kanzurejustanotheruser: whether the population goes up or down does not seem to materially impact eggs in baskets distribution or ratio13:11

streetywhy are you getting drugs from a sandal company?15:03
kanzureperhaps you should ask instead why a sandal company is in the pharmaceutical industry15:05
nmz787really, they are the same company?15:06
streetyI don't think so15:07
nmz787:P15:07
kanzure"On December 23, 2008, Teva acquired Barr Pharmaceuticals for US$7.5 billion, making Barr and Pliva (which Barr bought earlier) part of Teva."15:07
kanzureah perhaps this explains why barr and teva seem to make the same pill15:08
nmz787thems the good ones15:08
streetyteva the sandal company is owned by deckers15:08

kanzure"Ethical objections to engineered longevity are all weak in comparison to the massive and ongoing harm caused by aging"18:39
kanzure"There is little writing on these research results, and no good sources other than the original papers-most of which are behind journal paywalls. What hope is there for the proper transmission of knowledge to the circle of clinical developers when the researchers have no incentive to explain their work, due to the FDA roadblock, and no other group seems to be picking up the slack? Potentially viable medical technologies are lying fallow, ...18:40
kanzure... buried in the output of the scientific community, and left unexplained for the rest of us."18:41
kanzure"The flow of knowledge from the research community is vital, but as described above there exists a clearly identifiable gap in that process: science that might lead to therapies for aging exists in many different forms, but there is little to no documentation of it. Thus there is little in the way of a roadway to systematically bring this knowledge out to the circles of life science students, entrepreneurs, clinical developers, and other ...18:41
kanzure... interested parties. Those groups, in turn, have nothing to work with when it comes to educating the medical community and public at large. This, in a nutshell, is the problem. The US may be closed to development of longevity-enhancing biotechnologies by regulatory fiat, but much of the rest of the developed world remains open for business in this field-if the developers in those countries knew more about the work that has taken place ...18:41
kanzure... and presently lies largely buried."18:41
kanzureehh i don't really buy his promotion argument here, it's not a matter of promoting the ideas. no amount of writing and yelling at people about them will make them materialize.18:41
cluckjhah18:45
kanzuremy reply "Unfortunately if everyone had this attitude nobody would get anything done. Instead of promoting the migration of information to lay people-- who by definition are uninterested in taking on this mission for you--, you should be promoting the migration of people towards building these technologies (perhaps by participating yourself-- you can write software, so write software to distribute papers better, or whatever can alleviate ...18:46
kanzure... inefficiency in the current paradigms). Even just one or two people actively working on technology, especially outside of traditional academia, is a tremendous improvement over the current situation."18:46
kanzurei could have wordsmithed that better, but screw it18:46
