While complex, greying hair seems like a finite and solvable problem given enough time. Build a large enough genome database, exhaustive studies for hormone balances, and do the science…it feels “treatable”.

Where as wholesale aging and solving for aging in general will be a totally other monster that never gets fully solved just partially treated. Extensions of healthy life and total lifetime seem fairly likely while “Freezing” aging is likely impossible.

Interesting that corticosteroids had that effect, as well as all of the other methodologies.

Feels like an underexplored avenue for comprehensive studies/research

I’ll kick this comment thread off.

I completely deleted all of my pretty well followed and active social accounts (Facebook, instagram, and snap). Not deactivate, delete. At first there is a large emotional penalty I felt by “disconnecting” from people, however it’s been well over two years and my life is pound for pound better. I do miss interacting with some friends at times but honestly if they’re real friends, I call or text.

Social took away a lot of my attention and disconnected me from reality. I’m not saying do what I do, but for me it was a game changer.

Unpopular opinion: Webflow and CSS docs.

Webflow will teach you every pattern for building pretty things and docs will let you match the buttons to code.

I’ve been following it since I was in college (early 10’s) and I’m beyond excited. I have serious anxiety around the launch going well and getting the telescope safely into orbit. Truly priceless.

That sounds horrible. This place has become a little solace of mine. There’s probably some theoretical threshold for when a community grows to a certain size it becomes more and more difficult to having meaningful discourse. The noise becomes too great

Blue Origin has become a pathetic attempt at being a pseudo-tradinational aerospace company “funded” by the government. Jeffs become an obnoxious capital hoarder who doesn’t want to put his money where is mouth is to get the job done. He’s touted around like some sort of management genius but by most relative measures Blue Origin is, in its current state, a failure.

Sounds like you don’t understand gender bias

Yeah that’s the next step is to start working investor networks!

What’s your business, what are you working on?

She’s found a bit of traction. Ads convert to customers but the CAC is high and not “uniquely defensible”. It’s low/code no/code website but the idea is there and she’s proven the marketability of it

But personalized meal kits and fitness routines adjusted to fit your life, weekly.

It’s consumer facing so highly unlikely :/

That’s a fair question. If she can find a male who is interested in building a woman’s wellness platform for women then I know she would go for it. However, there are some gender bias barriers she’s faced when sharing her idea and it doesn’t always “click” with men.

That’s one of the scariest potentials of higher CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere. Maybe it’s just a phase now but a significant reduction in clouds is actually a predicted outcome from increased heating.

It’s really not looking great.

Going vegan is the only proven method (with regards to consumption) to reduce your risk of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. If you care about longevity and consume large amounts of meat you’re doing the equivalent of smoking cigarettes everyday.

It’s become abundantly apparent over the past few years that climate change is striking right now. Unfortunately it’s still in 1st gear and we are far from yet close to some truly horrendous changes in earths equilibrium. In college (4-5 years ago) I often tried to explain to friends how much energy was required to add a single degree in average temperature to the worlds oceans (it’s a fuck ton) and we’re well past that point. I’m genuinely convinced this will lead to an extinction level event where we either make it through radically changed or society as a whole catastrophically fails.

I lurk 99% of the time on HN. I no longer have any social media. Participation is not required for enjoyment.

Just stirring the pot

If anyone is interested in touching the adventure sports space.

Shoot me a message.

  of back-end would be

It does seem unconditional to hold someone for 5 years without sentencing him. Seems fishy

Yeah it’s hard to sympathize with someone whose “entire persona was shifted by this event”. He abused the service and they found reason to terminate the contract, or sucks but if he didn’t ghost ticket or abuse the companion rule they would have had no recourse.

What’s the TLDR?

Yes. Gender diversity is a goal. Therefore requires direct action. In the 1950’s schools were forced to let black kids in. If in n number of years we have a female dominated work environment and men only make up 10% of our leadership then let’s make a men’s movement.

It's pretty well documented that women have difficulty accessing capital (and less women in VC). Nothing is ever non-nuance but here are a few high quality sources.

It’s insane how upset you get over people downvoting the shrugging off of idea that women should have better access to capital or have unfair standards.

“OH iT SHoUlD PeRfoRM BetTer”

There are people putting money directly into women owned and found businesses. MOSTLY women because they’ve experienced this bullshit and higher more unattainable standards. It’s a nascent movement a few years old with tiny drops of money comparative to the annual investment pool.

People have put a dollar value on it. There are funds specifically for women because this is a documented real problem. It’s more than hurt feelings it’s inequity and discrimination.

It’s not “JuSt HUrT FeELiNgs”.

SMH

This comment in and of itself is the same sexist nonsense that silently proliferates the problem. Saying that “well the world has these problems” and correlating it to “well the people facing the problems are just screwed” is disgusting. Also chalking up the entire role of a VC to capitalize for profit removes numerous secondary benefits of USING CAPITAL FOR GOOD. Check your biases before you post
