Light affects us deeply. Very probably true for more than immunotherapy.

What is the purpose of this comment? Gatekeeping him and telling him he wasn’t _actually_ homeless?

I assume you could amortize the cost if you made it an apartment complex. Maybe zoning is preventing it though?

I’m not sure using it is illegal.

How are they measuring this?

> The team cultured BMSCs and T cells together, and after 48 hours found that up to a quarter of the T cells had gained extra mitochondria. The researchers dubbed these juiced up immune cells Mito+.

What an incredibly simple idea. Just scale it up.

Any new vulnerability will be sold to the highest bidder and/or exploited instead of being reported for the bug bounty because of this.

It seems that Ireland giving aid specific to Apple and not others is the crux of the issue? Not sure how that’s illegal.

I don’t think I can recall memories at will. They pop up when I get cues.

It’s a scam to be able to try experimental treatments for your otherwise fatal disease?

You’d think they’d use a cheaper hosting service if that’s literally the only thing preventing them from having positive gross profit.

How are they managing to spend 7.5k a month in server expenses? Are they using AWS?

I assume you mean the FTC Act. Indeed it gives broad authority, but it isn’t unlimited.

FTC says “[..] it is an unfair method of competition—and therefore a violation of section 5” in their rule.

Indeed, the act gives them the ability to regulate unfair practices, but it’s not clear that this is unfair. Is it unfair if I get paid a good salary in return for not working for competitors? If they pay me for the years I can’t work after resigning, I would very much say no. If they don’t pay me for those years, I would say it could be seen as being unfair. But the rule is a blanket ban on all noncompetes essentially, even for senior executives! (Unless I’m reading it wrong.)

I’m for banning noncompetes, but I don’t think you can reasonably argue that the FTC has this ability.

I do think they could ban the subset that are clearly unfair without any issues FWIW, and I do hope they switch to this direction.
