As a lay-person, it seems kind of light on details and a bit fanciful. The article states they created pancreatic islet seed cells, but fails to link how exactly this cures diabetes. (I’m assuming these cells create the insulin.)
Another point is this seems to fly in t he face of what we’ve been told for decades, that diabetes can now be cured and not just managed. (I personally don’t have a problem with this, everything is impossible until it becomes possible.)
The biggest issue I see is that this cured one person. Diabetes is a fairly common condition, they shouldn’t have had a problem getting more participants in a study.
Not an answer to your question, but in the 80s/early 90s my grandmother used to tape movies off the tv, I believe she actually copied VCR to VCR so she could make a copy without commercials. She’d then cut out the description from the TV Guide, and scotch tape it to the top of the video cassette tape.
The “cause” is quite simple: more visibility, knowledge regarding, and acceptance of neurodiversity.
We don’t (usually) just beat kids until they learn to mask now.
Yes we are testing more now that we better understand the conditions. It used to be “understood” that it was mostly boys who had ADHD. Now we understand that girls are/were taught to act in certain ways, forcing them to learn to mask more effectively.
My spouse and I were both diagnosed with ADHD in our late 30s despite having visible symptoms as children.
When I told my parents I was diagnosed with ADHD, their response was “well you turned out fine, didn’t you?”
My employer acknowledges neurodiversity month with presentations by employees who are neurodiverse to help share their perspectives with the “normies.”
My spouse and I are able to look at our children’s behaviors and see the actions through the lense of their being ADHDers. We are able to look back actions and responses of our parents while we were growing up and see their undiagnosed ADHD.
In short, things like ADHD and Autism have been around a lot, in numbers higher than we used to diagnose, and were just getting better at spotting them.

That is basically The Great Filter theory the OP was referring to.
Yeah. My grandfather (former electrician and electrical inspector) had a specific outlet he’d plug a gas generator in to back feed power into the house. This was in the 80s and 90s.
He also pointed out that he turned the main off so it did not back feed into the grid and power lines that a lineman is expecting to not be live.
That’d be like outlawing hammers because someone figured out they make a great murder weapon.
Just because you can use a tool for crime, doesn’t mean that tool was designed/intended for crime.
Not exactly. This would be more akin to a company that will 3D printer metal parts and assemble them for you. You use this service and have them create and assemble a gun for you. Then you use that weapon in a violent crime. Should the company have known better that you were having them create an illegal weapon on your behalf?
Someone please let a bear into his home while he’s at work.
Wish granted… a large, hairy man now waits in his bed.
Not sure how sarcastic you are, but I could see work camps being built. I think we’d see some deportations and some people sent to work camps, but not a complete crack down. Just enough to make it a threat.
It’s not just the logistics of moving that many people that is a problem. It would be extremely damaging to the economy. Undocumented labor makes the food we have as cheap as it is (along with government subsidies). If that labor pool evaporated we’d see more widespread issues with food rotting before being picked and food not getting processed.
The work camps would take the form of farms and food processing plants, possibly expanding to other manufacturing later. Free slave labor is how we’d compete against the slave labor in other countries. It’s important to note that managing that takes up a lot of resources, so I’d expect the majority to not be rounded up and sent to these camps. I’d expect the threat of being sent to a camp to be used to extract lower pay and more hours out of the existing undocumented population that works in those industries.
Having these populations still intact would be useful to instigate more crackdowns as political events to provide a boost.
The main problem with these camps (and existing populations) is that people have kids even under the worst circumstances. That is why we’re seeing the talking point to remove/overturn birthright citizenship. Eventually the camp population would be almost entirely us citizens which makes things less tenable. So they’d need to remain different so it’d be okay for them to stay in the camps they were born into.
I do this with my domain and it works great.
Only negative I’ve had is that people with a similar name have ended up signing up for things and misspelling theirs with it ending up on mine.
Oh we know what is going on already. The court has been stacked in a way that usually favors corporate and authoritarian interests, with justices frequently receiving gifts that aren’t always disclosed.
I was curious. I did not find any specific listing fo le her, however since she sent the ballots to a Republican official who had been making claims of voter fraud (and is the person that reported the incident) I’m guessing she is republican leaning.
Now, now, this isn’t Texas.
It’d be used as pretense to escalate police response.
They have been for a while. Weren’t there incidents a couple months ago with former IOF members using military-grade pepper spray on protesters.
What do Geno ever do to anybody? Put too much meat on a pastrami sandwich?
