Stem cells reverse woman’s diabetes — a world first
  • The tricky part about T1 is... We don't know why the immune system is malfunctioning, only that it is. Without that vital piece of research, everything that presents as a cure is temporary at best.

    Dr. Faustman out of Mass General has been conducting some trials into phase two or three using the BCG vaccine to treat / cure the immune response.

  • DOJ seizes dozens of domains used in Russian influence campaigns targeting swing states
  • There's a problem there, though. The propaganda was basically various versions of "The government (when run by Democrats) is bad, don't trust the government."

    If they put up a notice saying, "This domain was seized, here's the real facts!" the target of the propaganda isn't going to buy it for a hot minute.

    If they put up replacement content that doesn't mention the government seizure, tha target of the propaganda is already primed to shout, "Fake news!" at anything that disputes their existing worldview.

    It's best to just let those domains return like a 504 Internal Server Error and die a quiet death.

  • Maybe It Should Be Illegal To Instantly Delete A Website's Archives - Aftermath
  • A "Library of Congress" for published web content maybe. Some sort of standard that allows / requires websites that publish content on oublic-facing sites to also share a permanent copy with an archive, without having the archive have to scrape it.

    Sort of like how book publishers send a copy to the LoC.

  • 'Trump is desperate': Ex-GOP aide thinks a Vance-RFK swap is a real possibility
  • Technically,

    The president and vice president are chosen by the electoral college in separate votes.

    Though, for some time, it's always been the winning candidate's selected running mate... there is no requirement there. The electors could pick Mittens the back flipping poodle for VP if they wanted.

  • Trump Warns That if Kamala Harris Wins, ‘Everybody Gets Health Care’
  • Remember too that the President doesn't write the laws, and pretty much every solution for a single payer healthcare solution involves legislation.

    Blaming or crediting a President for something that only Congress can do is a long American tradition, and an exceptionally stupid one we need to get over.

  • Popular Programming Book "Clean Code" is being rewritten
  • I see. It seems like you may be one of the people that try to coerce relational models into nosql stores like Dynamo.

    Or course it's possible. They even trick you into thinking it's a good pattern by naming things "tables".

    But if you're using Dynamo to its fullest an ORM is not going to be able to replicate that into a relational store without some fundamental changes.

  • Popular Programming Book "Clean Code" is being rewritten
  • I am literally in the middle of swapping DynamoDB for a RDBMS.

    The idea that you can abstract away such fundamentally different data stores is silly. While I hate doing it now, reworking the code to use relational models properly makes for a better product later.

  • A new report finds Boeing’s rockets are built with an unqualified work force
  • Thomas Jefferson never added airplane safety regulations to the Constitution ergo, it's completely unregulated. Also, Justice Alito would like to cite a man with tapestries tied to his arms as he jumped off a cliff in the 9th century saying of course it's safe.

  • Election 2024: Trump says he 'probably' will debate Harris but 'can also make a case for not' | AP News
  • He's in the part of the plan where he delays.

    Next up: legal challenges to Harris being on the ballot. However silly or spurious or quickly they're tossed out, it'll be the next excuse for not debating.

    By then, well, it's too close to the election, some early voting has started, and it wouldn't be fair to debate now, see...

  • Blood tests for Alzheimer's may be coming to your doctor's office. Here's what to know
  • I'd like to know.

    I want to go out on my own terms. If that means I don't have to save so much for retirement... Great, I can go on expensive vacations now instead of later.

    And then I can do what needs to be done without regrets.

  • JSON Query Language
  • My principle dev asked if we could figure out how to invoke Lambda functions from within postgres trigger functions.

    I was like, "Probably. But it's like putting a diving board at the top of the Empire State building.. doable, but a bad plan all around."

  • Federal appeals court blocks remainder of Biden's student debt relief plan
  • You got it.

    It's a sweet deal for the servicers.. the loans are basically zero risk and the servicer gets to keep a lion's share of the interest while only paying for the costs associated with servicing (customer service, mailing statements, pausing repayment for various reasons, etc.)

    That said, those loans shouldn't be confused with private student loans, in which the government is. It involved (mostly).

  • Warren: Democrats ‘will suspend the filibuster’ to codify Roe v. Wade
  • Indeed. Everyone tries to blame Democrats for, when they have the slimmest of majorities, for not doing everything, when there are literally 49 Republican senators out there who are the ones who are truly blocking progress.
