chris_99nmz787, be thee about?03:18
archels"Please let me know if you have not received the mail below and you are a PhD student!"03:32
archelshaha, what manner of ripoff is this  https://www.joylent.eu/04:19
chris_99lol04:20
Diablo-D3joylent is not people?04:23
Diablo-D3that is one ugly website, holy crap04:23
archelsjust powdered people04:23
Diablo-D3https://www.joylent.eu/faq04:23
Diablo-D3this company has a very twisted sense of humor04:24
jrayhawk_this looks about as bad as soylent04:25
Diablo-D3scroll down to "where is the oil in joylent"04:27
Diablo-D3and watch the video04:27
jrayhawk_hahaha flaxseed04:27
Diablo-D3is... is this company for real?04:28
Diablo-D3Im being serious, is this a parody or what?04:29
Diablo-D3"Vitamin A (retinol acetate) 325000 IU"04:29
Diablo-D3I wasn't aware they measured that in IU04:30
jrayhawk_that's pretty common, yeah04:30
Diablo-D3111800 mcg04:31
Diablo-D3or ~112 mg04:31
Diablo-D3okay that seems very goddamned high04:32
jrayhawk_yeah, they might be missing a comma04:32
jrayhawk_but then it seems a bit low04:33
Diablo-D340% of DV is 1200mcg aka 2000 IU04:33
jrayhawk_but modern nutritionism is sortof obsessed with retinoid hepatotoxicity.04:33
Diablo-D3so 100% DV is 3000 mcg/5000 IU04:34
Diablo-D3jrayhawk_: depends on the source04:34
Diablo-D3beta carotine is fine, our body only converts what it needs04:34
Diablo-D3straight up pure retinol sources like that quickly leads to vitamin A toxicity04:34
jrayhawk_there's a lot of individual variation in carotinoid conversion rates and retinol is only toxic in the context of a vitamind d deficiency04:35
Diablo-D3yeah but 325k IU vs 5?04:35
Diablo-D3thats a gigantic massive difference04:35
Diablo-D3theres all sorts of wrong shit with this formula04:36
jrayhawk_yeah, i am expecting they're missing a comma in there somewhere04:36
Diablo-D3a european comma, ie, a decimal mark?04:37
jrayhawk_or that04:37
Diablo-D3but like, cyanocobalamin? seriously?04:37
Diablo-D3why not methylcobalamin?04:38
jrayhawk_soylent pulled the same shit; nobody apparently cares04:38
jrayhawk_magnesium oxide, K1, folic acid, etc.04:38
Diablo-D3and pyridoxine hydrochloride instead of pyridoxal 5-phosphate?04:38
jrayhawk_nutritionists don't know any better and the public trusts the nutritionist requirements.04:38
Diablo-D3yeah, and "folic acid" instead of one of the better folate delivery mechanisms04:39
jrayhawk_guar gum and ground flaxseed are extra funny to me; absorption inhibitors and protease inhibitors04:39
Diablo-D3yeah04:39
Diablo-D3and if they're doing flax for the ALA?04:40
Diablo-D3I just straight up say humans can't convert ALA to omega 304:40
Diablo-D3I don't even bother doing the whole "2-3% efficiency" crap04:40
Diablo-D3ALA is not an omega 3 source, full stop04:40
jrayhawk_alpha linolenic acid is an omega 3, it's just not a useful omega 304:40
jrayhawk_(also highly unstable under processing)04:41
Diablo-D3at least they included choline04:41
Diablo-D3and only alpha tocopherols for E? not all that useful04:42
Diablo-D3do they actually list the amounts anywhere?04:42
Diablo-D3like on an actual supplement facts panel?04:43
jrayhawk_that would be effectively giving away their recipe, which the FDA doesn't require and a business would need to be fairly insane to advertise04:43
Diablo-D3in the US you can't sell vitamins without it04:44
Diablo-D3every single supplement Ive bought tells me what is in it, and how much there is04:44
Diablo-D3they're EU, so I don't know the rules over there, but I find it hard to believe EU is behind on this04:47
Diablo-D3their website is confusing, is this an entire meal replacement, or just a supplement package?04:51
Diablo-D3jrayhawk_: btw, check the front page under reviews04:51
Diablo-D3"Fuck Joylent. I wouldn't order from you again if my dog's life depended on it. Bunch of cunts."04:51
Diablo-D31 star, "Shite", by rob04:52
Diablo-D3oh, nutritional values is on their front page04:53
Diablo-D3I scrolled right past it the first time04:53
Diablo-D3this entire website is a trainwreck04:53
Diablo-D3it contains oats, whey, soy, AND flax04:54
Diablo-D3that omega 6 to 3 ratio is bad, there is waaaaaay too many carbs in this, given the source04:56
Diablo-D32 euros a meal, that is $2.20 or so04:57
Diablo-D3gimme a few moments, I want to do the math on what I take every day04:57
Diablo-D3Im suspecting its around a dollar or so04:58
Diablo-D3total is $3.05 a day....05:06
Diablo-D3limiting to just what they're listing, about $1.04 give or take05:06

kanzure"A company called Sangamo in Richmond, California, has already used an older form of gene editing - based on zinc finger nucleases rather than CRISPR - to treat people with HIV. Immune cells were removed from the body, edited to make them resistant to the virus and then replaced, with promising results. Now Sangamo hopes to cure haemophilia B, a clotting disorder that can result in spontaneous internal bleeding, with the help of ...06:32

kanzure"Ronald Cohn wants to use CRISPR (see main story) to edit the genes of his friend's 13-year-old son, but he's running out of time. The boy, Gavriel, has Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a genetic disease in which muscles degenerate. Life expectancy with the condition is about 25 years. Gavriel was diagnosed at age 4. He has already lost the use of his legs but still has some movement in his upper body, and uses a manual wheelchair. Cohn, a ...06:33
kanzure... clinician at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, estimates he has three years to develop and test a CRISPR-based treatment before he won't be able to help Gavriel. This week, his team described how they grew Gavriel's cells in a dish and used CRISPR gene-editing techniques to correct the mutation that causes his disease (The American Journal of Human Genetics, DOI: 10.1016/j.ajhg.2015.11.012)."06:33

kanzure"Here, to investigate the therapeutic potential of CRISPR/Cas9 in a diverse set of genetic disorders, we establish a pipeline that uses readily obtainable cells from affected individuals. We show that an adapted version of CRISPR/Cas9 increases the amount of utrophin, a known disease modifier in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Furthermore, we demonstrate preferential elimination of the dominant-negative FGFR3 c.1138G>A allele in ...06:34

Using a previously undescribed approach involving single guide RNA, we successfully removed large genome rearrangement in primary cells of an individual with an X chromosome duplication including MECP2.

The research in human cells is so new that he has many unanswered questions. "That's what I'm losing sleep over." Should the approach work in mice, there are ways to get it into human cells.

kanzure"The thymus reaches its maximum size early in life and then begins to shrink, producing fewer T cells with increasing age. This thymic decline is thought to contribute to age-related T cell lymphopenias and hinder T cell recovery following bone marrow transplantation. While several cellular and molecular processes have been implicated in age-related thymic involution, their relative contributions are not known. Using heterochronic ...08:13
kanzure... parabiosis, we observe that young circulating factors are not sufficient to drive regeneration of the aged thymus. In contrast, we find that resupplying young, engraftable thymic epithelial cells to an aged or defective thymus leads to thymic regrowth and renewed T cell production. Intrathymic transplantation and in vitro colony forming assays reveal that the engraftment and proliferative capacities of thymic epithelial cells ...08:13
kanzure... diminish early in life, whereas the receptivity of the thymus to thymic epithelial cell engraftment remains relatively constant with age. These results support a model in which thymic growth and subsequent involution are driven by cell intrinsic changes in the proliferative capacity of thymic epithelial cells, and further show that young thymic epithelial cells can directly drive aged thymic regeneration."08:13
kanzure"Regeneration of the aged thymus by a single transcription factor" http://dev.biologists.org/content/141/8/1627.short08:13
kanzure"Here, we show that forced, TEC-specific upregulation of FOXN1 in the fully involuted thymus of aged mice results in robust thymus regeneration characterized by increased thymopoiesis and increased naive T cell output."08:14
kanzure"So it would seem that at least 2 pathways exist for possible regeneration of the aged thymus in humans. This would seem to be essential for a human to escape the (otherwise inevitable) reduction in T-cell clonal diversity. Does anyone have any news of Greg Fahey’s trial?"08:18

kanzurei like the idea of pitching brain uploading as way to avoid healthcare costs. also sorta detracts from attempts to work on rare orphaned diseases, various cancers, aging/longevity. these problems are solvable but they are tough problems and it may ultimately be cumulatively easier to just focus on avoiding all of them.10:15
kanzureoh also something about biological reliability (you know hearts are just going to explode at any moment, right? i think they call that a cardiac time stopping event or something- crazy).10:15
xentracthere's probably a large contingent that will prefer to retain their biobodies as long as possible10:16
kanzurei suppose ultimately it's the taxpayers (or insurance companies?) that bare these costs, so you can't really use that potential healthcare cost as motivation for funding of brain uploading10:17
kanzure(maybe if you can convince healthcare insurance companies)10:17
eudoxiaI think Randal Koene basically made that argument10:18
eudoxialiterally "we should focus on mind uploading because starving children in africa"10:18
kanzureyeah i don't think governments will be convinced by that argument (even if it's correct)10:19
xentracno, if governments cared about starving children in Africa, they wouldn't be starving10:19
kanzureplus, as i said earlier, personal memories aren't that important; the first upload can be copied around a million zillion times and it will have its own new memories which will probably be okay.10:20

kanzure"Optimal financing for R&D-intensive firms" http://rthakor.mit.edu/sites/default/files/documents/Pharma_Optimal_Capital_Structure_Theory_v9NEW.pdf14:27
kanzure"This mechanism involves a put option on the firm’s value that has a digital option attached to it such that the firm’s insiders are long in the option and outside investors are short in the option over some range of firm values, whereas insiders are short in the option and outside investors are long in it for all other firm values."14:27
kanzure"The core intuition behind the mechanism design is as follows. Firm insiders are asked to report how likely their additional R&D investment is to succeed, and are also asked to provide investors “insurance”, i.e., a put option, against the possibility that the firm’s R&D fails to achieve relatively high cash flows. The amount of insurance that insiders must provide is greater if the firm reports a higher probability that its ...14:28
kanzure... additional R&D investment will succeed. The mechanism thus deters insiders from misrepresenting themselves as having high probabilities of achieving very high cash flows, and (partially) protects investors against the firm’s failure to realize very high R&D cash flows."14:28
kanzure"However, since R&D outcomes are uncertain, providing such insurance to investors is costly for the firm’s insiders. To offset this cost, the mechanism also includes a put option offered by the firm’s investors to the firm’s insiders, which insures the insiders against very low cash flows. That is, through the mechanism investors are provided a stronger assurance of a relatively high upside while insiders are provided stronger ...14:28
kanzure... protection against the downside.[12]"14:28
kanzure"Thus, potential underinvestment in R&D is discouraged from both the standpoint of insiders underinvesting due to high possibility of failure, and investors underinvesting due to suspicion of too low a probability of very high payoffs (adverse selection)."14:29
kanzure"We also relate these options to some recently proposed biopharma innovations like “FDA swaps” (see Philipson (2015)) and “phase 2 development insurance”."14:30

kanzure"... However, issuing securitized debt generally requires collateral that generates a reliable and well-understood stream of cash flows such as an approved drug. Investments in early-stage biomedical projects usually yield no cash flow until they reach Phase IIb and, even then, they provide cash only sporadically (e.g. when they are out-licensed or sold). The unpredictability of the amount and timing of these cash flows suggests that the ...14:54

In this article, we extend the concept of the megafund to allow for time-varying amounts of debt or ‘dynamic leverage’, which can accommodate the startup phase of a fund focused purely on preclinical R&D and early-stage translational medicine. Dynamic leverage adjusts the amount of debt that a securitization vehicle can ...14:54
kanzure... sustain, based on parameters related to its default probability (the likelihood of the entity being unable to meet its payment obligations on a timely basis). It is directly tied to a second concept: ‘dynamic risk measurement’, in which the default risk of a bond is periodically measured via certain credit metrics and performance indicators. "14:54
