This therapy doesn't target the amyloid-beta plaques. It repairs the blood brain barrier, and then the body is able to clear away the plaques. Their buildup is a symptom of Alzheimers, not the cause.

The problem with the amyloid-beta hypothesis was the assumption that these plaques were causing the Alzheimers and that removing them by itself could lead to a cure.

"Subscribe unless you want all humans dead forever" made me laugh out loud.

Both the iPhone and the Pro remained the same price, and the iPhone also increased its storage capacity for the same price...

Don't release a model that's so sycophantic it provides encouraging advise to suicidal users about how and where their body should be discovered after they kill themselves.

Instead, it should warn the user that their pattern of thinking indicates mental health issues and they need to search for health from a medical professional.

If your friend is a devout evangelical, maybe he'll reconsider his opinion about immigration if you direct him towards what the Bible says about immigrants and foreigners.

They can spend numerous ships testing because the cost is dramatically lower per ship.

As with any manufactured item, high volume and iterative design improves the production process and finished product.

Whether this was the reason or not, it should be alarming that Tesla can remotely deactivate any car in their fleet without warning.

Even if you trust Tesla completely, a malicious actor could gain access to this feature and wreak havoc.

That will pale in comparison to how future generations view plastics.

Imagine if we ate and drank out of lead paint containers constantly for decades before discovering their health impacts. That's basically what has happened with plastics.

Doesn't scroll at all after loading.

Sounds more like an argument for universal basic income. Plasma donation is much closer to a cash grant than it is to a job.

This is exactly what the US did to Britain. One empire rises, another falls.

IIRC not only did they remove many parts completely, but others have been integrated into the interior, which makes repair harder but will improve reliability since they are no longer exposed.

Daytime solar, in the summer especially. Power demand yesterday was negative from 11:30 to 3:30, for instance, meaning batteries can charge for free to absorb excess solar generation during those hours.

The real tragedy is that the administration withdrew Jared Isaacman's nomination to be NASA administrator. He had bold plans for modernizing NASA and the experience to lead. But he didn't kiss the ring and instead made comments suggesting NASA's budget shouldn't be eviscerated, so his appointment was torpedoed.

Can you share what knowledge you have of the materials and/or process that implies this is likely the case?

"I can help you get a replacement. Here let me pull up a totally hallucinated order number and a link that goes nowhere. Did that solve your problem?"

The politics is a symptom of a greater problem with Musk's companies, which is that they ultimately only care about his bottom line.

As a current owner, I wouldn't buy again because of the abysmal customer service and repair experience. This car is a huge computer, and has plenty of glitches appearing now that it's out of warranty.

The main benefit of a Tesla vs other electric cars was the supercharging network, but with the adoption of NACS across most manufacturers, that advantage is gone.

There are plenty of high quality reasonably priced electric vehicles people can buy – they're just not Teslas.

This is the reality of development when you don't have support from developers - they will follow the money.

Contrast this with early iPhone app development where people were turning out in droves EXCITED to build something.

Apple has lost the trust and enthusiasm of the developer community by making their lives harder and harder over time. Of course they aren't going to lift a finger now unless it will make them money. The same wouldn't be true if Apple provided them the support to get excited about a new platform.

Yes it's straightforwardly true that road trip charging is less convenient than with gas cars.

But charging for regular use is dramatically better. Anytime you're not on a road trip, you spend essentially no time fueling. Just plug in at night like you do with other electronics.

So I'll take saving 15 mins every week avoiding the gas station, in exchange for the couple times a year I have to wait an extra 15 mins charging.

Because the other search engines offer no privacy and relentlessly track everything you do across the internet?

Any suggestions for how you got your lenses, bangs, assistant set up the way you like? I recently subscribed to Kagi and feel like I don't really know how to get in the habit of really using all the features.

Welp, thank you for that. About to use my dishwasher for the first time since childhood.

Joe Biden did nothing remotely comparable to what Trump is doing now.

And unlike Trump, Biden faced constant criticism from within his party. He would have faced outrage if he tried to, for example, cancel all federal grants containing the word "conservative" in them.

Meanwhile we're heading towards a future where Trump can deport anyone he doesn't like to an El Salvadorian prison without so much as a trial, regardless of whether they broke any laws. Why doesn't this terrify people on the right?

No you can't. Blocks broken without the correct tools do not yield items. In order to find diamonds the agent must first craft an iron pickaxe, which itself requires several other steps.

Statistics say sitting members of Congress and their families are pretty good at knowing when the best time is to buy and sell. I wonder why...

Any form of ID held by the average voter will be unacceptable to the GOP, because it won't limit voting access from the people they don't want voting.

Red light cameras increase the rate of rear ends, sometimes dramatically, as drivers unsafely brake to avoid the fine.

The real answer is that US banking laws don't protect consumers the same way they do in Europe.

So Americans are forced to use credit cards and enrich the companies offering that service, because using a debit card carries risks.

As someone who had their life upended last year upon discovering I had AVNRT, this article is much appreciated. I'm still trying to understand the root cause of my arrhythmia, because two ablations and one daily medication later and I still have regular episodes.

It's wild how many different types of arrhythmia there are, and how they can be connected to many other systems in the body. It seems like mine might be related to my nervous system.

I don't know the author, but I will note that my cardiologist got an Electrical Engineering degree before going to medical school and views it as a huge advantage when dealing with the heart.
