  • Something i have thought about for some time. Do we only have one consciousness? Like if you literally split your brain in half via operation suddenly you got two brain halves tha’t can not communicate with each other in any way. Do you now have 2 personalities and consciousness? If yes, why don’t you have them before? Maybe you always have two but they are just in agreement. And why stop at two? There are some interviews with siamese twins (the teacher sisters for example) and it’s so interesting to see how they talk. They finish each other sentences which is natural i guess but they also say “ehh” when the other one doesn’t know a word. It’s like a single person talking. I am not arguing they are distinctive persons. Just some random thoughts.





  • Unpopular opinion: Aber die Online Apotheke die per Fragebogen Online Rezepte ausstellen sind ein Problem. Das gibt es auch für z.B. Viagra und auch dort finde ich das kritisch zu bewerten. Cannabis ist im Rahmen der Verschreibung ein Medikament mit erhöhtem Missbrauchspotential und es damit einfach auf Knopfdruck zu bestellen hebelt den Sinn des Cannabis Gesetzes aus. Es war ein leichtes sehr sehr viel in einem Monat zu bestellen. Anbauvereine haben zumindest ansatzweise die Möglichkeit den Überblick zu behalten, privater Anbau ist zwar ähnlich unreguliert aber zumindest mehr Aufwand. Das die CDU das natürlich maßgeblich mit antreibt ist mit einem schlechten Beigeschmack verbunden. Aber diese Maßnahme isoliert betrachtet finde ich nicht falsch.

    P.s. Ärzte können sich ja selber Privatrezepte ausstellen, können sich Ärzte selber immer wieder Gras verschreiben?



  • Contact info gets hashed in a clever way which doesn’t send your info (although i guess phone number hashes could be brute forced?) Meta data is also not available. They have no way to know who you are talking to. The only info they have is that you logged ij with a ip at a time. I believe they can’t even reliable track how many messages you send. Even with a compromised server most of the magic happens in the open source client side app so that they can’t gather very much. I understand your concerns about popular centralized services but i really believe that they are unfound with signal.




  • Why? Seems like a reasonable amount. In the boxes i used there was place for i believe 80 tips so when i had to pipet something in a 96well plate with multiple components that where not able to be mixed before i sometimes got through multiple boxes in a single session. (And yes i wish i had a digital multi pipet but even then it would not have alwqys been possible to use it.




  • Near sighted is quite easy. Your eye is too big so that the picture point (don’t know the correct english translation) is infront of your retina. Eyes have two limits, near sight point and far away point. Both beeing the outer edges of the length spectrum you can clearly see. In a normal eye with -0 dioptrien the far away point is unlimited meters away (1/0). If your prescription is -1 dioptrien that means it is 1/1 meters away, -2 is 1/2 meters etc.

    VR may work a bit different because you have other effects in play, meaning you can see things more sharply that are virtually further away, but i do not have experience with that.

    Mind you optics was a long time ago so maybe someone corrects me. But i think the answer should be correct.


  • Can’t read the whole article due to paywall. Here are 2 thoughts for the half that i did read.

    • colorectal cancer makes a lot of sense as a target. it still is one of the most cancers with the highest mortality. At the same time we saw an uptick in colorectal cancer rates in young people (reason unknown, maybe microplastics maybe something else.). Furthemore colorectal cancer seems to be a great target for immunsystem modulating therapy. There was a paper 3 years bake in I think the NEJM where they put 18/18 (exact N not sure) patients in remission with PD-1 modulation which also activates the immun system.

    • Astra Zeneca (I believe) is also working on a mRNA vaccine for cancer that is quite far along. They are targeting melanoma in remission and reduced reoccurence of melanoma or metastasis after 3 years by 50%. So it seems like mRNA cancer vaccines will be a strong pillar for future cancer treatements.

    Sadly we saw in the past that russia sometimes bolsters their numbers for medication efficency. I hope it is not the case this time but i hope that the phase 2/3 trials will be very transparent to quench any doubts.




  • Accessory are optional Custom Roms are possible and already in the works (and /e/ already available.) that is more a community thing. Headphone jack is a feature that has a (i suspect) minority that tends to be real loud. I had my Fairphone 3 for almost 5 years and i am not sure if i ever used the headphone jack. Dual Sim is possible with E-Sim, plus SD card. Dual Sim with SD card takes a lot of space. Fairphone moments switch is already customizable to: DnD, flight mode, flashlight, dark-/ light mode, batery saving mode. Not sure what you mean by firm USB 3.0 is a sad decision which doesnt affect me personally but would have been great to have for DP alt mode. For moving files i use Quickshare cause it is much more convenient.
