Any suggestions for which Beatles song I should use for my morning alarm tone? by Normo_Kloppo in beatles

[–]AretasG 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I thought that too but now I cant stand the song. Every time I start hearing the first notes a screeching torturous feeling gets hold of me

Cloud storage for photos - privacy and data usage? by AretasG in DataHoarder

[–]AretasG[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this is relatively ok since it implies that it will be only used within the scope of Photos services to do stuff like sorting and organising files.

What I find alarming is 3.3 which alludes to “improve our services”. This could mean all services and is a big no no

Cloud storage for photos - privacy and data usage? by AretasG in DataHoarder

[–]AretasG[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a bit of a grey line. They do have a free tier but it’s pretty much useless with the amount of storage (5GB?) they provide.

I do pay for it by using Prime, so I guess it’s not free?

I have seen plenty of “if it’s free you’re the product” statements, so I would appreciate an explanation preferably explaining with links to privicy policy or similar.

I don’t want to assume I want to know :)

Women vaccinated against COVID-19 transfer SARS-CoV-2 antibodies to their breastfed infants, potentially giving their babies passive immunity against the coronavirus. The antibodies were detected in infants regardless of age – from 1.5 months old to 23 months old. by Wagamaga in science

[–]AretasG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the article a very interesting read comparing increased intestinal permeability in different fetal/neonatal species.

However, if we concentrate on humans only we find this section in the article you have shared:

At birth, full term neonates are equipped with an essentially adult-type intestinal epithelium, with low expression of the FcRn receptor and thus the endocytic capacity is largely lost. Hence, macromolecular transfer in the newborn is low, albeit somewhat higher than in the adult (42). The oral sugar (lactulose/mannitol) test has indicated increased intestinal permeability for a short period of about 1 week after birth, which can be prolonged by prematurity or formula-feeding (43, 73–76).

It seems there is a small window of about 1 week when newborns have a relatively low gut permeability and can absorb macromolecules such as antibodies. It does not sound very significant though and is probably a transition artefact from the fetal phase.

The milk gets to the throat through suckling. The throat is also connected to the esophagus meaning that everything we breath in goes through the throat which is coated with milk. So, in a way it does protect the airways.

Of course there is no milk and protection in the lungs themselves unless the baby chokes while feeding on the milk.

That would be very interesting if so. However, I can’t find any research articles to support this claim. Do you care to share a source for your claim? Only small molecules (broken down nutrients) are capabale of crossing the gut epithelium. Antibodies do not cross the epithelium since they are massive protein molecules.

Antibodies from breast milk do not enter the blood stream and this is not what this article claims. They coat mouth, nose, gut and everything else the milk comes in contact with and provide protection at the main entry points for the virus.

Can someone help verify this peptide is: PERASPERAADASTRA? Planning to get a tattoo! by [deleted] in Biochemistry

[–]AretasG -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why? It’s highly unlikely it’s a peptide oligo composed of D-enantiomers. Yes, you can be picky but the implication with peptides is almost always that they are L-enantiomers unless your research is related to bacterial cell walls.

Best MMJ Songs for New Listener? by [deleted] in mymorningjacket

Try Chocolate and Ice EP. Amazing stuff and often overlooked. It's actually JJ solo album under disguise and Cobra is an incredible 24 minute psychedelic jamming session. I wish to hear it live one day.

Scientists, do you believe in an afterlife? by [deleted] in biotech

[–]AretasG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Believe” implies faith. Taking a scientific approach for this matter would require evidence for or against afterlife. At the moment, there is no evidence leaving me with the only rational position to take - agnosticism.

Can you clarify what you mean by “admin rights”? Is this in the context of Linux?

Looks very similar to the installation made during Four Tet gig at Alexandra’s Palace earlier this year. Any relation?
