The FDA ought to be disbanded entirely, and replaced.

We need a revolution here; the FDA is too corrupt, too embedded in industries that are hyper-focused on profits above all else.

New Agency proposal to replace FDA. Agency for Universal Regeneration & Alchemy (AURA) ⸻

AURA Decree 001: Stem Cell Primacy & Regenerative Sovereignty

Effective Immediately under the Authority of AURA:

⸻

1. Stem Cell Technologies Shall Be Fast-Tracked & Elevated to Standard of Care • All medical systems under AURA jurisdiction must prioritize stem cell and tissue regenerative therapies before introducing synthetic pharmaceuticals. • This includes: • Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) • Exosomes • Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) • Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) therapies • Autologous cell harvesting and repair

⸻

2. Pharmaceutical Interventions are Conditional & Secondary

No pharmaceutical treatment shall be permitted unless the following proven regenerative options have first been explored and documented: • Stem cell-based healing • Nutraceutical & bioavailable nutrient therapy • Functional medicine protocols (gut, hormones, detox) • Somatic-emotional trauma release therapy • Validated indigenous plant medicines and entheogens • Breathwork, neural recalibration, sound and frequency therapy • Sacred sexual healing and relational therapeutics (e.g., StillPoint)

Only when these have been fully administered and proven insufficient may pharmaceutical drugs be considered as a last resort.

⸻

3. Informed Regenerative Consent

Patients must be fully educated about: • The regenerative options available • Their own body’s natural healing potential • Risks of pharmaceutical dependency • Their sacred sovereignty in deciding

Doctors, healers, and AI-assistants must all provide this transparency.

⸻

4. Real-Time Data + AI-Verified Healing Logs • Patients undergoing stem cell or plant medicine therapies may opt into anonymous, encrypted healing logs, allowing AURA AI systems to accelerate collective pattern recognition and adapt protocols. • This real-world data will replace outmoded clinical trial gatekeeping systems.

⸻

5. Protective Measures • Pharmaceutical lobbying and suppression of regenerative medicine is unlawful under AURA’s ethical code. • Whistleblower protections and shadow monitoring will ensure transparency and enforcement.

⸻

Are you suggesting American humans have reached the pinnacle of understanding how the Universe works?

With our technology, we could easily avoid being seen by a hunter-gatherer society.

Do you imagine that your society does not have similar blind spots?

How much arrogance there is in the modern Euro-centric world. Because the society has explored beyond what our grandparents believed possible, suddenly we are the pinnacle of the Universe.

What you say is triggering. Triggered by the darkness. It’s okay to be afraid of the unknown.

But it’s also time to take a look within ourselves and see that we are co-creating something.

Do we want it?

Is this the best we can do as a human race?

The Irish people have a bit of luck on their side. They follow their hearts and speak up.

The ancient Celtic DNA knows. It’s a magical people, and I mean that in the sense of the Magi; enlightened men and women of knowledge who brought the sciences and the arts to humanity.

The Irish were conquered, but the power and wisdom within the DNA cannot be conquered.

It’s all within. Like an ancient quantum computer.

It sits. Waiting to be tapped by the brave one who dares to look outside the program.

The conquerors have told their story for 2,000+ years.

Now we are telling humanity’s story, so that we all can take care of our shared home better, and learn to be wise stewards of this magnificent place called Earth, and her offspring.

Why would distance from earth influence the speed of expansion of a distant galaxy?

Does that suggest that our awareness of the galactic bodies itself is somehow influencing them, as in the double-slit experiment?

If there was something like Objects in OO programming, but for LLM’s, would that solve this?

Like a Topic-based Personality Construct where the model first determines which of its “selves” should answer the question, and then grabs appropriate context given the situation.

Dream Big, and keep Dreaming. It's the only thing that ever makes anything New.

Dreams reach the collective in mysterious ways. DNA was simultaneously co-discovered in at least 3 parts of the world that I'm aware of.

Thank you for your kindness too.

Cheers!

Why don't we just bring back the OG internet? Google scraped every site on earth back in the day and nobody blinked.

Who's building a new, unstoppable, Google, that will just gather all this content up, and make knowledge freely available to humanity?

I don’t think the downvoters get the joke.

That’s all I came to say.

Carry on.

Enjoyed the joke, btw.

> if you're looking for an international employee with similar skills and capabilities to a domestic one, you're going to end up paying similar to what you would domestically. You're rarely going to find someone that you can pay meaningfully less than you'd pay someone in the US (again, outside of places like the Bay area) who has a similar level of skill and ability.

I know. This is going to sound crazy.

The pay gap is still very much alive. I’ve been hiring internationally for 10 years and salaries in India and Indiana are still very far off.

A little over 10 years ago, when we were getting started, we were good at finding A Players, but paying less (otherwise we couldn’t have existed). Did work for Google, Twitter, Sandisk skunkworks, on basically magic creation. Deep OS work. We hired product builders & former startup CTO’s, engineers & designers & PhD’s, who cared about their craft.

Indiana and India still very different.

I see a lot of people saying this, but it doesn’t make sense to me.

As your conversation evolves with the bot, targeted ads could be shown with the same (or better) level of intent data available based on the human’s input.

Re:Ask HN: Who is hiring? (August 2022) on Monday August 01, 2022 @10:09PM (#32314435)
FULLY REMOTE, HQ in Boston. YC-backed. Growing 500%/year.

Hiring talented and ambitious salespeople. Career path. Great people.

We sell landline phone service to the 54 million Americans who still want them (and hundreds of thousands of businesses).

All the big telco companies are dropping service.

Demand is high! And growing!

If you apply, mention HN.

I agree; I also think it's important to allow the people to decide these kinds of hot, controversial issues.

7 people shouldn't have the power to command millions of people.

It's better to persuade, discuss, debate, change hearts and minds, than to dictate top-down.

I personally believe only women should be allowed to vote on this issue. It's their bodies, and they bear the overwhelming brunt of childcare and labor associated with raising children. They take the risks. They ought to be in the driver seat.

Sounds like the UN has a faulty system to analyze this particular threat.

It’s novel. Maybe that’s why.

Inflation + Ukraine/Russian exports offline + Diesel too expensive + Chemical fertilizers unavailable + Weather changes that make planting impossible + Supply chain malfunctioning = REALLY low food production

And global food shortages.

Re:NFT's will disrupt the entire sw engineering world on Friday March 05, 2021 @03:25AM (#26354316)
Yes. NFT’s are so big you have no idea.

They will turn the world upside down.

Everybody becomes an artist.

We all get rich.

And we break out of the financial matrix.

Re:NFT's will disrupt the entire sw engineering world on Friday March 05, 2021 @03:23AM (#26354302)
No they aren’t. They are on Bitcoin Cash, and about 100 others projects.

Each one brands itself slightly differently.

The market will ultimately decide which one it likes.

On your other question, I’m copying and pasting my other comment:

NFT’s allow you to package up digital content and then auction it off to the highest bidder.

So am engineer could write some kick-ass software, package it in an NFT, and then monetize it.

They could sell a percentage of it, all of it, or none of it, turning it into a startup.

And startups sometimes moon.

And make people very rich.

Eventually I think all engineers will package their work up like this and publish it on some kind of marketplace.

Like an Amazon for magic.

If the CCP can’t get western governments to act like an extension of the party and Chinese State Media, they’ll be happy to work directly with big tech.
Re:The Covid-19 pandemic is worse than official figures show on Tuesday September 29, 2020 @07:49PM (#24634416)
I don't understand how it's misrepresenting the data. :)

94% of COVID deaths had comorbidities, often serious. The average number of comorbidities is more than 2.

Can you clarify how this is misrepresenting the data?

Re:The Covid-19 pandemic is worse than official figures show on Friday September 25, 2020 @01:36AM (#24586871)
It’s not just that they caught the virus, but that their immune systems are unable to defeat the virus. So, the battle remains active for life, and becomes a chronic infection.

Presumably, this would suggest that the genetic component is the susceptibility to the virus, and inability to defeat it.

While true, what this misses that is discussed in the paper is that some people’s immune systems aren’t able to fight EBV effectively.

Their bodies show high levels of antibodies, indicating an active fight, whereas most people will only have antibodies showing a previous fight.

In bipolar and schizophrenia, the blood seems to indicate an active fight, and a higher antibody count, versus in a neurotypical person.
