(January 11, 2015) Live for ever: Scientists say they’ll soon extend life ‘well beyond 120’
Fixing the ‘problem’ of ageing is the mission of Silicon Valley, where billions is pouring into biotech firms working to ‘hack the code’ of life
– despite concerns about the social implications. In September 2013 Google announced the creation of Calico, short for the California Life Company.
Its mission is to reverse engineer the biology that controls lifespan and “devise interventions that enable people to lead longer
and healthier lives”. Though much mystery surrounds the new biotech company, it seems to be looking in part to develop age-defying drugs.
In April 2014 it recruited Cynthia Kenyon, a scientist acclaimed for work that included genetically engineering roundworms to live up to six times longer than normal,
and who has spoken of dreaming of applying her discoveries to people. In March 2014, pioneering American biologist and technologist Craig Venter
– along with the tech entrepreneur founder of the X Prize Foundation, Peter Diamandis – announced a new company called Human Longevity Inc.
It isn’t aimed at developing anti-ageing drugs or competing with Calico, says Venter. But it plans to create a giant database of 1 million human genome sequences by 2020, including from supercentenarians.
In an office not far from Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, with a beard reaching almost to his navel, Aubrey de Grey is enjoying the new buzz about defeating ageing.

(March 6, 2018) What if billionaires could live forever?
Several billionaires, most of them Californians, have been funding firms involved in developing life-extension technologies.
What if they succeed? What if billionaires alive today live indefinitely and get ever richer?

Diamandis and Hariri's new venture is the latest example of a well-established phenomenon in Silicon Valley:
Extremely wealthy techno-optimists have for years been funding biomedical R&D companies meant to achieve immortality for their funders.
Some of the more recognizable names who have been putting money into such efforts: Larry Ellison (founder of Oracle),
Larry Page and Sergey Brin (founders of Google), Jeff Bezos (founder of Amazon), and Peter Thiel, cofounder of PayPal and Palantir Technologies.
Palantir, by the way, is a "big-data" company that uses algorithms to scan huge datasets for patterns.
It does a lot of work for US government intelligence agencies. Thiel is a radical corporate libertarian, and Silicon Valley's best-known Donald Trump supporter.
In late February, Diamandis wrote to subscribers of his email bulletin: "I asked the smartest people I know for their tech predictions for the next 20 years (2018 – 2038).
What are the breakthroughs we can expect on our countdown to the Singularity?" One of the predictions he listed was that by 2030, "humanity will have achieved Longevity Escape Velocity for the wealthiest."

Hospitalizations dropping every day in Georgia. I don't know where Gottlieb is getting his data, but this site has been very reliable.

Great numbers for a Friday.

[link to www.ajc.com (secure)]
 Quoting: R. Wordsworth


From what I can see, Gottlieb posted the data showing new hospitalizations. Whereas what you posted shows the total hospitalizations which will soon start rising again if the trend of new hospitalizations keeps up.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77841583


Even his chart was inconclusive, to my eyes.

When it comes down to it, in my opinion current hospitalization levels were due to an initial outbreak that was orders of magnitude higher than reported numbers.

With current mitigation measures I feel that hospitalization numbers will drop below that of what you would see from seasonal flu.

That's already the case in NYC, which had one of the worst outbreaks in the world. They are actually lower than what they would see from the flu right now.

If we can hold at those levels, we can open society and live with the consequences of this bug.
 Quoting: R. Wordsworth


The thing is, while several states are now considered "open" there are still many people who aren't going out in public and doing the things they would normally be doing, visiting the places they would normally go to. Shit, even Atlanta is still under a "stay at home" order and yes that's in a state that is considered re-opened.

So yeah. It appears the new hospitalizations are starting to tick up again in state(s) which have only partially re-opened. (They aren't trending down at the very least). That's just pretty awful news because it doesn't look hopeful for being able to keep the covid under control if the re-openings are ramped up.

But that's just me.

I definitely agree regarding the power grab aspect of this whole fiasco.

Do you agree that there won't be a resurgence / second wave? I can't wrap my head around why Brazil is seeing such number, but here in the US we aren't after basically opening things back up.
 Quoting: CLYMER


I believe 100% that the re-opening won't lead to a second wave anywhere near what we saw originally.

It's also hard to believe that we won't see at least a bit of an uptick from where we are now once people really start getting back out into society.

The question is, how much of an uptick... that increased amount of infections might still be less that what we are seeing right now, once all the cases from the initial outbreak work their way to resolution.

If the rebound ends up somewhere around where we are at right now, I think society as a whole would find in manageable to deal with until a vaccine, treatment, or herd immunity is reached... if possible.

Brazil's outbreak started way after the US, just like the US started way after Italy.

But long story long... no I don't think the second wave will manifest.

Of course you would say that, given that you call the data bullshit...

First off, let me say that I hope you folks who think there will not be a second wave (or that it will be smaller than the initial one) are right, and that I am wrong.

We simply can't tell much from these data ... they're wrong in a number of different ways, rendering them somewhat meaningless.

My personal sense -- and it is based on a hunch as much as it is on science -- is that there will be second wave ... probably ramping up slowly at first as more and more states open, and then exploding in the fall when seasonal cold/flu strains hit and compromised people's immune systems. I think more and more people will stop being cautious, and that it will take a while for the numbers to reflect the real scale of the infection burden ... and it will hit us really hard.

Part of why I say this is that China is clamping down so hard for such a small number of reported new cases. They know a lot more about this pathogen/these pathogens than we do -- not only have they been living with the outbreak longer, it seems likely to me they have additional information about this being much worse long-term than anyone is saying.

I'll happily eat my words if I turn out to be wrong. I'd actually love for you guys to be correct on this one.
Looks like freedom but it feels like death. It's something in between I guess... it's closing time.

I went full openburger almost a month ago.

So far, I'm right.

Twist my statements all you want.

We'll see who's eating crow in a month.

An estimated 11% of businesses here will close by june 1st in nyc, de blasio said today that businesses should have no problem being shut down for a few more months, this guy is a clown and it looks like theyll start phase 1 of reopening in less than two weeks but that wont help much.
 Quoting: Gilberto de Piento




We've had more exposure the past couple of months to the fact that so, so many politicians have never had a real job in their lives.

The result is we have stupid people making bad decisions about things they know nothing about. At every level of government in almost every situation.

Let's shut down the water utility, fire department, and police department and what the hell, the welfare department in NYC for a "few more months".

Shouldn't be a problem, right???
