2021?


in mice?


Yes, in mice, but human cancer cells:

"When we systemically administered our nanoagent in mice bearing human breast cancer cells, it efficiently accumulated in tumors, robustly generated reactive oxygen species and completely eradicated the cancer without adverse effects ..."

So it kills human cancer and doesn't harm the mouse in the process.


Xenografted human tumors in mice != human cancer. The support structure of the tumor (tumor microenvironment) differs between model mice and humans, cells derived from human cancer that can be cultivated in a lab and xenografted differ from typical human cancer cells, and xenografting requires immunodeficient mice, just to name a few factors that affect treatment response.

Mice models of cancer are useful, but you should never be too surprised when something that works in mice doesn't work in the clinic, xenografting or no. Cancer is complicated.


Doesn't harm the mouse. But would it harm the normal human cells?


Human breast cancer, in mice.


The cohort least likely to vote.


And the cohort most likely to vote well when they do.

The 18 year olds who vote less but vote for good parties are doing good, overall. The 60 year olds voting Tory their whole lives - not so much.

It's very easy to blame the young for all the problems earlier generations created and exacerbated. Not too wise though.


Who defines what voting well is? Or what a good party is?

The observed damage that the UK has inflicted to itself has been caused so far by all the parties that have been in power.


Voting in ways that genuinely serve their interests, perhaps?

Voting in an educated manner?

Voting for candidates and policies that will help people overall, rather than those that will hurt people overall, just so that they can hurt Those People?


Those seem to be the major differences alright. Well put.


> And the cohort most likely to vote well when they do

Eh, this is far from a given. Mao's Red Guards were passionate idiots. And America's young men are in thrall of Clavicular.

The most powerful empires in history have had large rebublics at their cores for good reason. The wisdom of a crowd greatly increases with its diversity.


As an Australian, I am so grateful for compulsory voting.


It's pretty anti-democratic honestly, but expected from a nanny state like AU. Then again they don't really enforce it - what's a $20 fine anyway?


> this is far from a given.

It's a given in Britain; ie, where we're talking about.

> Mao's Red Guards were passionate idiots.

Ok. And?

> America's young men are in thrall of Clavicular.

Clavicular? What? Were you trying to type Caligula - in which case, again, what?

American youth are far better voters than the elder generations - at least in terms of being against things like genocide, or in favor of things like universal healthcare, affordable housing/education, a liveable environment etc.

Unless you favor America's current status quo, which some people might. Personally, ew.

> The most powerful empires in history have had large rebublics at their cores for good reason.

Ehm you might consider the Dutch/British/Spanish/Mongolian/Roman/American empires role models of exemplary voting, but I certainly don't.

> The wisdom of a crowd greatly increases with its diversity.

If that's true (in certain contexts, with caveats, etc), then maybe by that logic we shouldn't be dismissive of young people, eg, just because they generally vote a bit less than older generations.


Clavicular is an influencer in a particularly cringy subculture called look maxing.


Thanks. Ugh, guy seems like an an absolute tool.

No more so than the older generation's various head melters though.


Yes, although there was notably a much higher turnout from this cohort in the elections when Jeremy Corbyn was labour party leader (although still lower turnout than other age demographics). I'd expect a similar effect for Zack Polanski in the next election.


What happened to software?


Pretty sure software is still here?


or 5 times the lock (power) button only


… or you can just close your eyes, and move your face around. The device will not unlock if you're not looking at it and after 3 or 4 tries will ask for the password.


Right, there’s a multitude of ways to trigger a passcode requirement, but the point here is quick/immediate procedures that can be learned into muscle memory.

Is VeraCrypt still viable alternative? Are there any viable alternatives?


VeraCrypt has been tried and tested but it appears to perform poorly on modern NVME devices due to inherent limitations in its TrueCrypt based architecture. As a Windows FOSS alternative, you can consider DiskCryptor. However, unlike VeraCrypt, it has not been audited (to my knowledge) and lacks many QoL features. Use at your own discretion.

It is being maintained here: https://github.com/DiskCryptor/DiskCryptor
