You also don't need to go back very far in history to see how white patriarchal empires dominated/shaped most (all?) of these regions and countries for centuries.
This paper seems to have more details on the actual procedure
Patients were treated and monitored according to the schedule described in the appendix (p 17) and as previously reported.16, 17 HSPCs harvested from bone marrow or mobilised peripheral blood (MPB) were transduced with clinical-grade lentiviral vector encoding human ARSA cDNA under the control of the human phosphoglycerate kinase gene promoter.
Definitely agree. I keep seeing sites like this called Brutalist, but they’re more akin to high tech postmodernism. With the closest architectural equivalent probably being the Centre Pompidou. Which is all about exposure of underlying structural and functional elements for purely aesthetic purposes.
Love this one. There is a similar one in Charlottesville, Va to cross Water Street, which has a delightful southern accent. Pronounces it Wooter and everything :)
Well, that's just the time necessary to action the accounts. You'd still need to hire all of those people, get them equipment and software, pay them, etc. IT, HR, management, payroll. Probably double or triple your man-hours. But on top of that, I specifically chose what are probably unrealistically low numbers. It would maybe be closer to 20-30% utilization and 8-20 hours to close a case (totally guessing here :shrug:). So maybe 730 - 2700 man-years, roughly. Plus above-mentioned overhead.
Spinning up a 500 person accounting firm wouldn't be snappy.
> assess this on a case-by-case basis and pay the rent for people in genuine need
I'm not sure you've fully thought through how complex this would be. There are 40 million rental households in the US. Even if only 1% (400,000) decided to be a part of this program and you could close every case in 1 hour (which is probably wildly low) that's 45 man-years of effort.
Precisely. Or what if you're some random grandma that has a wallet (since we're living in a make believe world where this is easy to create). Imagine you've forgotten which blockchain your wallet is on. Will there be a search box to find my wallet in this mess of combinatorics that is a login page?
This. But I'd say don't just donate the whole sum. Talk to whatever accountant you find about creating a foundation and building an endowment. At $20k+ per month in seed you'll quickly ramp up to millions of dollars in the endowment and can build a foundaton that runs in perpetuity to enrich the lives of a lot of people less fortunate than you.
You say this as if it's fast or easy. All of these can easily take 10s of years build from conception to completion due to a myriad of reasons. Land acquisition, federal state and local funding, environmental review, court cases, zoning changes, public review proceses, etc. It's not like someone decrees that a school should be built and 6 months later it's up and running. And the school is the easy one on that list :)
Is it just me or does the future he paints sound absolutely abysmal? It's effectively a dictorship where your entire life is bouncing from one tulip mania to another holed up in your apartment talking to an AI and lost in a world of garbage content from Neflix 2.0 while you await your burrito delivery and dream of hitting it big on <insert_name> Coin so you can move to Mars and watch the dust blow around.
Second. Not sure how "think" is being defined here, but even for a spatial/temporal sense of self or mortality I'd say that's probably an incorrect statement. Let alone the general notion of thinking. E.g. dogs exhibit basic thinking like predetermination, delayed gratification, etc.
Ads aren't the only problem. All the SEO clickbait is worse than the ads in my opinion. I can ignore the ads, but anymore a lot of the time the first page or two of results are just clickbait junk. Look at their example results. #3 looks like an SEO clickbait site to me.
edit: Looks like you can customize results somewhat, so maybe that will help? A quick way to silence those kinds of hits would be nice.
Honestly even if all we get out of this is an affordable low-carbon jet engine I'd call it a win. At the end of the day, Tesla is battery company that makes cars. Maybe Boom should try to be a jet engine company that makes planes.
edit: I say this as someone having little to no real knowledge of the aerospace industry :)
