Cancer Is Surging, Bringing a Debate About Whether to Look for It
Jump

Using the metabolic theory of cancer the more people know about their cancer risks the more steps they will take to improve their metabolic health.

Looking for a federated alternative to Signal as they might have to comply with ChatControl, I tried SimpleX, XMPP, Matrix, NextCloud Talk and DeltaChat. It was quite a ride

Evergreen resources when IM comes up:

Fwiw Ive tried them all, signal is the most accessible and I have hope for simplex, which hasn't had any measurable impact on my battery

They should do value at risk and factor based %s to evaluate how much risk the models are taking on unintentionally

A good outcome doesn't mean the decision making process isn't bad

I was diagnosed with early onset dementia and alzhimers. Is there safe guards I can put it up so I don't screw or kill anyone? Like who do I contact about being denied to own a gun?

You might want to consider doing a ketogenic lifestyle. There is lots of emerging research on the metabolism mind connection, and specificity about mental health. Not eating glucose raising foods doesn't hurt you, and it can have a marked improvement on brain health.

Cronometer measures just part of the picture.

Carbohydrates, which holiday food tend to be heavy in, drive blood glucose which drives insulin which has a outsized impact on mental health (mood, clarity, executive function).

If you want to be data driven pick up a CGM and watch your glucose and see how that maps to your mood and motivation. I've found a very flat glucose graph means I'm feeling motivated and energetic.

Why a lot of people are getting hacked with government spyware

Jump

It's a given that any government given enough time will slide into tyranny. This was known in 1776 and is just a trusim when humans concentrate power.

Tools of the state should be limited, transparent, and not reserved for a elite.

Mullvad Leta shutting down

Jump

jet @hackertalks.com 3mo ago

Kinda expected, I always disable leta when I setup a mullvad browser.

The biggest killer was not being able to go to the original engine. Let's search for the image of a duck, oh leta doesn't do images, ok open this search in Google... Not a option either. Adds lots of friction

I like the DDG option of having a g! Escape to Google with my query if I need it.

Maybe there was a cure for human cancer, but it didn't work at all in mice.

Jump

jet @hackertalks.com 3mo ago

Actually it's used in everything, it's available, it's well studied, it's cheap, and most importantly it grows fast in a lab, so it's easy to work with....

I wish I was joking, but lots of in vitro human research is done on the poor women's cancer cells when the research has nothing to do with cancer, it's quite the confounder

There are some unifying theories of cancer that do kinda make it into one thing: https://doi.org/10.3389/fcell.2015.00043

I.e. the Warburg effect, and damaged mitochondria being st the root of all cancers.

In your example the flu is not just one thing either, it's a group of viruses that broadly have the same symptoms

Your philosophy is antithetical to existence.

Being alive kills other things, nature is competition. From bacteria and viruses in your body constantly being killed, to animals in the food supply (even veggies and croplands have pest control), just living in a safe community relies on the killing of other life: removing dangerous animals from the community, keeping pests out of food stores, keeping the water clean (kills water based life)

The phone you are using is at the end of a very complicated supply chain that mines resources from the earth, which requires killing animals... Moving resources across the earth, which requires killing animals (fish hit by boats, animals run over by cars, birds hit by trucks, pest control in all the production and storage facilities), etc.

When we maintain fasting for 5+ days we have a fairly large bump in autophagy, a state where the body kills off and recycles damaged cells. This state can cause some types of cancer to be more obvious to our immune systems and allow the tumor to be attacked. In some cases otherwise inoperable tumors can be removed after shrinking them through fasting.

Cancer cells can't metabolize fat, when your fasting and in ketosis your body is only supplying fat and the cancer has nothing to eat (mostly, there is some glucose produced as a baseline)

I.E. fasting slows down the cancer energy rate so that the immune system can start catching up.

This is why the press-pulse cancer protocol uses deep ketosis and fasting in addition to supreasing the bodies glucose production. I.e. never adding external sugar into the body at all during treatment.

There is debate on that. There is a mitochondrial model of cancer that unifies cancer into a single mechanic. https://doi.org/10.3389/fcell.2015.00043

This is different from the common somatic mutation theory which views cancer as a bad generic mutation of human DNA

I'm glad their very ill advised move didn't kill the entire internet archive project.

If they are going to do something so reckless again they should make it a totally new project not attached to the internet archive at all.

They might not get so lucky again in the future
