Of note, cautionary tale is too much neurogenesis is brain cancer...

No, brain cancer is brain cancer.

which is poorly differentiated cells undergoing unchecked neurogenesis...

It really depends on how much the company wants to invest. If it really worked, then it would be relatively straightforward for them to put together a Phase II. Not cheap, but relatively straightforward. Or at least it would have been when we had a functioning FDA

Also, the other definition in question is what the UCLA PR person means by "repairing brain damage". As far as I can tell from the paper - the "drug" part was using some neurotransmitter blockers on brain cells on a Petri dish to see if they could change gene expression or oscillatory firing patterns matching recordings in mice undergoing "physical therapy". They did not actually test to see if the stuff grew new brain cells or dendritic connections.


I mean, it’s prob easier to run chromeos in utm on the Mac…

But then you won't have the touchscreen to use with Android apps.

How many people here is he really "accessible" to? I highly doubt you and I are able to cold call him as easily as some people think they can...

"accessibility" with lousy judgement also may not be the greatest combo...

> If everyone can call the president, does it matter if anyone does? It sounds like a koan but isn’t that far from reality. Donald Trump’s personal cellphone number has been making the rounds among Washington reporters, dozens of whom have used it over the past few weeks to score brief interview after brief interview with the leader of the free world about his ongoing war with Iran. A partial list of media organizations that have published “exclusive” or “scoop”-y quotes after hitting up Trump’s iPhone includes leading print publications like the New York Times, TV networks (ABC, NBC, PBS, and CNN), foreign newspapers (the Daily Telegraph and Times of Israel), and no fewer than four outlets with Washington in their names (the Post, Examiner, Reporter, and Free Beacon).

> A comedian pretending to be Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., says he talked on the phone with President Donald Trump earlier this week in an epic recorded prank call during which the president discussed a range of policy topics.


Allegedly he'll pick up the phone even for numbers he doesn't recognise. I guess to convince him you have to make it clear how your idea will increase the glory and honour of Donald J Trump.

In all seriousness i think that combo is better then a senior citizen who can barely be reached by his own advisors and is unclear how much of the situation he actually understands. (with Trump it's either zero, Fox News or 4d chess depending on who you ask, but the answer will always be given with confidence).


wasn't there a post by someone that looked into the Mythos demo and felt that it was terrible at doing what people claimed it could do?

Granted, given that most cybersecurity news over the past decade has been grim, both could be true...


They could justify it as a capacity investment, like buying all the tooling for their aluminum laptop bodies.

Nowadays I wonder if it's best practice to run everything in a desktop VM and not on your actual computer...

at first I thought Sierra games was making a comeback...

I was confused, this isn’t the Sierra Online I know.

Yeah me too, I was excited for 500ms until I re-read and saw the sierra.ai.

a new Space Quest is worth every penny!

maybe the culture should be for them to contract with popular app makers to be "The" default app for x amount of years or such, vs sherlocking.

you know it's bad when even ol' Rupert is worried
