  • Signal Protocol and Post-Quantum Ratchets

    Jump

  • 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.

  • What why? The e2e protocol is open source as is the client. How would that even work?

  • does that mean that we have a proper linux native build, ir will Linux towers still rely on Proton? (Which works excellently so there won't be much difference for me i think)

  • 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.

  • How do I mathematically work out how far I can see without glasses from my prescription?

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Russia’s Enteromix cancer vaccine shows promise in early trials

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Any requirement this severe has the result of being eugenics-y regardless of intention.

    Okay yeah in a strict sense trying to minimize the risk of children having any birth defects is eugenic in itself. I just don't think that this is always bad.

    1. The problem is this, you can not force a pregnant person to get an abortion (luckily), but in some cases it might still be not desireable that a woman gets pregnant because the drawbacks far outweight the benefits. Because while it is a persons own body and their choice they do not have to directly live with the consequences the child has. I do not think that the way the NHS is going is the right one or that OP should be forced to take birth control, but I also do not think that this is some hateful nazi like eugenics but something to protect children (and not in a weird online safety act but in a direct, hey some disabilities can be life changing and should be avoided way).

    For me it is a bit like disallowing pregnant woman to drink alcohol, that is -in my opinion- also not some form of eugenics, even though it severly limits the freedom of pregnant people so that we have less child with neuronal and bodily syndroms. But if you are pregnant and decide to carry the fetus too full term you are kinda responsible to give it an adequat start in life. And with some drugs the harm may already be done before you know that you are pregnant.

  • Got an update on my medical issue people here helped me write a letter about.

    Jump

  • So this is a twofold command. First of all, can you just... Not take the birth control? Like fill it, get it and dont take it. Maybe even donate it to some organisation? Maybe you dont even have to lie to your physican (maybe you do, but i see it as kind of a harm reduction in this case.).

    Secondly, topimarate is really a bad medicine for pregnant people, it increases the risk of just not ads and autism (which can be really life changing on the extreme end of the spectrum) (And tbf this link is not 100% proven but who wants to do studies on pregnant humans.) . But also of cranio facial deformities like mouth cleft, and these can be really bad as well. I do not think that this warrants such an extreme respone but it's not just some eugenic hate against neurodivergent people. (At least i hope that they took the extreme cases for their decision making, you never know with the NHS and UK). In germany there is a similar system in place called T-Rezept for especially bad medications (most german don`t even know the existence of this special recipe. It's basically only used for Thalidomide and related substances, so the really bad stuff. Surprisingly not even for Marcumar (Warfarine) after valve replacement even though that would also bear horrible risks for the child and the mother).

    I just saw that you fear that your doctor may see it in your bloodwork if you take it. While it may be theroetically possible to see such a thing I do not think that it is a realistic concern, one would have to look for exactly that and even then it would not be exact proof.

  • Five children see HIV viral loads vanish after taking antiretroviral drugs

    Jump

  • Ahh okay, the headline implied that for me but you are both correct that it does not outright say so.

  • Five children see HIV viral loads vanish after taking antiretroviral drugs

    Jump

  • Did we read the same article? The point is that for some people it resulted in no viral load even without drugs over a prolonged time.

    In a study published last year, Goulder described how all five remained in remission, despite having not received regular antiretroviral medication for some time, and in one case, up to 17 months. In the decadeslong search for an HIV cure, this offered a tantalizing insight: that the first widespread success in curing HIV might not come in adults, but in children.

    Instead, like Goulder, pediatricians have increasingly noticed that after starting antiretroviral treatment early in life, a small subpopulation of children then seem able to suppress HIV for months, years, and perhaps even permanently with their immune system alone.

  • Actually the immuncompromised status makes me think of toxoplasmosis, these yellow cotton like atrophy can be seen in ocular toxoplasmosis. But not an eye doctor so what do I know.

    Edit: on 2nd thought i think it might be virus, herpes zoster to be specific. Ocular herpes zoster is rare but immuncompromised makes it much more likely.
