With all that great tech to land and reuse rockets, they still need to be propelled into space using... kerosene. That's right. 1 million satellites launched into orbit using kerosene.

Does not feel like a vibe.


Tesla's secret weapon will be the dyson sphere. Probably complete within 2.. 3 years maximum.


reading uncle bob's book was the singlemost harmful thing i ever did to myself as a software engineer. wasted so much time writing such worthless tests. TDD? ughhh no way.


What is interesting here is that if more & more volume goes to private exchange activity, then as the volume dries up on public exchanges, there will be more volatility.. and more reason to move to private exchanges.

There must be some point where this becomes self defeating though, no?


Dark pools work in generally liquid and broadly balanced (between buy orders and sell orders). In times of volatility or when the order book(s) become heavily skewed to buy or sell orders - everyone will scramble to primary liquidity at the exchange.

So would using these cell modifications, in the case of growing organs perhaps, require germline modifications?

Or what are other types of uses for these cells?


These cells won’t divide because they will fail to replicate their DNA due to the lack of thymidine. The use case is cell therapies, where you give the patient cells grown in the lab but you don’t want those cells to potentially divide and cause cancer. For example, CAR T therapy to treat cancer, or dopaminergic neuron replacement therapy for Parkinson’s disease.
