I interviewed at Sikorsky back in the day. Sort of wish I had pursued it, because the factory floor was amazing, but the manager reminded me of a guy from The Sopranos, and then I got into medical school. But that floor, man. Swashplates. Have you ever seen a swashplate, naked and alone on a pallet? Thin wall machining. I mean, goddamn, that was some sexy machine work. But they wanted me to run business analytics for government cost-accounting programs. Fuck. That. Also, medical school.

They’re going to do their version of “Other bets”.

My first job out of college was as a junior engineering officer on a ship. I had taken naval architecture and the daily draft report was part of my job. The fuel king had a spreadsheet where the engineering watch input all the tank levels overnight. I added a sheet that took that data and solved all the tank problems, bouncy, incline, etc, and printed the report. So instead of two hours of number crunching, or one of my enlisted guys doing what he did (which was basically copy forward and subtract an inch a day), the report was completely automated, with fore, aft, and center draft. With zero human effort.

Apparently the guy who took my job when I left had a nervous breakdown. I feel a little bad about that, but not really. He should have paid attention in class.

I believe socialism has a pretty specific definition: government ownership and control of the means of production. Which is easy to grasp for steel mills, power plants, and hospitals. A bit trickier in the creative economy and the gig economy.

Unfortunately, some people are going to read this wrong. For example: I know some folks who have "second dinner" after 8 pm. Their children are definitively obese, and I can see them citing this study as a reason to keep eating "a meal called dinner" after 8 pm.

How do you propose to infect cells deep inside solid tumors?How do you target cells that have lost cell surface markers? Your example, p16, is used in many cells intermittently, or only in certain microenvironments . How do you deliver? IV, topical, tumor injection (if so, what about needle tract seeding)?

I donated white 2007 to the local Lego robotics team and it's still winning.

There is: they are intertwined with other regimes:

  * The international banking regime
  * The US legal regime for corporate purposes
  * Many other national regimes for operating purposes

Look up Sanger sequencing.
