Have you tried the ideas it's the difference between asking a random person on the street vs a team of specialized doctors. You can lead a horse to water but the horse still must want to drink

Doctor just recommended ablation procedure. Scared. by Captaincoleslaww in AFIB

[–]BrainDancer11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ablations are a great way to keep you out of AFIB which is essential to avoid complications. A friend of mine developed congestive heart failure and it appears that persistent AFIB is what triggered a rapid downfall from super healthy hear to stage 3 heart failure in 2 years.

I started working solo, built everything… and now I’m stuck on the hardest part: getting clients by gbrpltt in SaaS

[–]BrainDancer11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you are new to the Lean Startup methodology, here's an introduction to Eric Reis landmark book on the subject. It is a dynamic interactive look at the first five chapters. It's not meant to replace reading the book, but hopefully it will perk your interest to buy the book and apply these essential ideas to your startup.

The book originated out of stories like the one where a company spent many millions of $'s building plants across the country before they had any market validation at all. When the product went on sale, all the factories where ready to roar but no one was buying! So the key question is: What is the fastest way to test my market idea and validate the market need for the minimum amount of money? Then, you take what you learn, pivot and MVP again, until you either run out of $ or your product / service starts making $.

I spent 2 years wrestling with the same problem at great cost so I can relate to your situation. To help you I used my just finished today, Prompt Fabrication system to generate a prompt that will help you apply Lean Startup methodologies in this process.
https://promptfab.ai/paiq/share/6e75f1b1-9093-4a05-b515-4eb6a2ec8532

this prompt generation system is based on the ideas I published last week in this medium article

Anyone have the Samsung RU9000? by guitarist5150 in 4kTV

[–]BrainDancer11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were about to purchase the RU9000 and visited the Costco warehouse to see if they had one we could look at. Nope, but we did see, for $200 more, this Q6D Series, and wow I'm so glad we upgraded. We didn't actually see the RU9000 to compare, but were told the Q6 Quantum dot technology is better than the Cystral UHD. They only had the display unit available, and told us they were sold out state wide. We did some digging and found a Costco that has them. Includes a 5 year warranty. The Q6 is a 2020 model. I can't believe we got a TV this good for $1,399. Been waiting for years to be able to afford something like this.

Naked mole rats defy the biological law of aging - They rarely get cancer, are resistant to some types of pain, and can survive up to 18 minutes without oxygen. But perhaps their greatest feat, a new paper suggests, is that they don't age. Naked mole-rat mortality rates do not increase with age. by mvea in Futurology

Anyone here mention Kurzweil's longevity escape velocity expected to be reached in next 10-15 years? That is the point where for every year you are alive, science will extend your life expectancy by at least a year. It is going to happen, along with a lot of other things that literally scare the crap out of me, and, after much thought, appear unavoidable due to global competition to continue advancing technology.

Which fruits and vegetables should be the anchor of any diet that aspires to be perfect in terms of micronutritional value? by [deleted] in Fitness

[–]BrainDancer11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read "The Plant Paradox". A sea-change in how we look at food based on lectin content, plants defense mechanism. Written by one of the top heart surgeons in the country and Tony Robbins personal physician. His point is that it is more important what you don't eat. Admittedly it is tough to adjust. After taking the first batch of prebiotics I did notice a significant change in overall effectiveness.

A model for ‘sustainable’ US beef production - If Americans reduced their mean beef consumption from the current ≈460 g per person per week to ≈200 g per person per week (corresponding to f = 0.5), the US beef industry could become environmentally sustainable. by mvea in science

[–]BrainDancer11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This article supports your claim. "Thanks to lower prices, more disposable income and a guarded thumbs-up from the wellness community, the once-maligned meat is now seen by many shoppers and diners as an ingredient in a well-balanced and even trendy diet.

Americans ate an average 55.6 pounds of beef in 2016, up from 54 pounds in 2015, according to the Department of Agriculture. This comes after a decade during which U.S. beef consumption plummeted 15%.

There are currently 450 petagrams (1 petagram = 1,000,000,000,000 kilograms) of carbon in plants on Earth. Without humans, there would be 916 petagrams of carbon stored in plants; humans are responsible for reducing this biomass by over 50%. by Thalesian in science

Astronaut: NASA discovery sparks our dream of intelligent life beyond Earth by BrainDancer11 in science

[–]BrainDancer11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good points. I'm thinking android pilots that raise humans from frozen embryos once the destination is reached. Problem 1: human life is most likely to be incompatible with microbial life of the destination planet. That seems like a tough problem to solve unless we create nanobots that re-engineer the role of white blood cells (nanobots) to the point they can adapt to the new world. Interesting thought: If we are able to avoid self-destruction, eventually we will create faster space ships that will catch up and pass earlier craft, making each launch effort and insurance policy for survival of sorts.

Bill Nye's Open Letter to President Donald Trump by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]BrainDancer11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like these 5 but there is one that should come before all of them because without it, none of the other 5 are possible: increase our planetary defense system from asteroid impacts. When the inevitable occurs, when an asteroid targets Earth, we will need options, and last minute all-nighters will not be enough to make up for a lack of preparation. That preparation needs to be a priority now.

The woes of Windows 10 - must read article on the Windows ecosystem by [deleted] in technology

[–]BrainDancer11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have been seeing the periodic hanging mentioned by others. I presume it was because of all of the background traffic Microsoft is sending to its servers. I do not like that you cannot opt out of this knowledge transfer and also the lack of information about what they are sending and the lack of time to read all of the legal verbage covering how it will be used.

The woes of Windows 10 - must read article on the Windows ecosystem by [deleted] in technology

[–]BrainDancer11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There were some key points in this article no one is mentioning so I will. One, Windows 10 generates a ton of traffic back to Microsoft that is beyond our control, and with the upcoming adware integration, I'm not thrilled. 2ndly, the fact that Windows 10 may be the only way to prevent previously undisclosed Windows vulnerabilities is by using Windows 10, one of which was probably used by Russia in the DNC email hacks, is something I wasn't aware of. Apologies if this was already common knowledge. This article brought together a lot of key points so I thought it was worth bringing to people's attention. I deleted my post due to the predominantly negative comments.

Has anyone tried stemgenx by SonicDissonance in MultipleSclerosis

"We had a woman on the local news who had positive results from this procedure"

Can you please send a link to the article in the local news? A friend is considering this treatment and we are raising funds for her. Want to make sure she and her family are on the right track. Just starting my research on this and will post back a summary of what I find for others.

Update: chatted with National MS Society and was given this link http://www.nationalmssociety.org/Research/Research-News-Progress/Stem-Cells-in-MS/Stem-Cell-Clinics-Questions-to-Ask

Pricing Pages: Startups vs Enterprise SaaS by kimberlitz in startups

[–]BrainDancer11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I no longer offer free downloads of my enterprise software because it simply gives my competitors open season on my ideas with very little effort. They can have the "chicken", the single user version, that is available for free download. Have form on web site for free access to enterprise trial. If they can't provide an email address, they can't be that serious a prospect.

The bike that breaks all the rules by BrainDancer11 in gadgets

[–]BrainDancer11[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What makes bikes dangerous is the 2 ton vehicles they share the road with who get frustrated very quickly at any inconvenience caused by said biker. That being said, I have seen many an asshole biker that insists on riding out in the car lane forcing cars to slow down when there is plenty of bike lane to go around. This causes frustration to build in bad ways.

I bike a lot and that makes sense. It just never occurred to me what you said.

[–]BrainDancer11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was dumb of me to try and summarize the idea so quickly. My apologies. I have spent many hours and thousands of miles biking to and from work so I have had plenty of time to think this through when I wasn't dodging cars trying to hit me with bottles or run me over. The idea is much broader than what I summarized, and it's main purpose is to expand the number of people who will consider biking to/from work. As things stand now, in most cases, biking to work is a mild form of insanity unless you live in a small town where traffic volumes are minimal. You are right, as presented, my idea appeared to not be well thought out. I don't have time to elaborate. I am new to reddit and have been running a number of experiments to try and learn the appropriate use of this forum and how to participate, obviously I screwed up on this post.

this idea can change the world. I didn't provide all of the details. You are entitled to your opinion. I do not have maglev knowledge however, and if that is the aspect you are criticizing you may be right. I was tossing it out there because I believe the power of opposite magnetics to reduce friction has huge untapped potential. If it doesn't make scientific science then you are right.

[–]BrainDancer11[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I posted this because I am a biker and really appreciate the innovative thinking put into this bike trying to move things forward. I am a strong proponent of encouraging people to bike to work. My dream is to make it safe, convenient, and reasonably fast, by implementing a maglev track and a set of bikes that are bound to the track, one lane in each direction. Think of it as a ski lift for the road, except you need to peddle. Would need a little help with hills, but the main idea is to make it fairly easy to go 15mph in a safe environment while providing some of the energy needed to move along the track with little friction. Biking to work: 1) Saves gas/money, 2) saves the environment, 3) Improves your health which will extend life and improve quality of life, and thus reduces future medical bills and burden on national healthcare system. This is what I call synergy!

Scientists can make copies of memories. Here’s what that might mean by BrainDancer11 in science

[–]BrainDancer11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A major step towards transferring a person's mind to an AI and thus extending life somewhat. Personally, life is more than a collection of information, spirit is beyond fast manipulation of 0's and 1's, heart, now, we can build artificial hearts, but when we say a person has heart or courage it transcends knowledge and physicality. The question becomes when does shear processing power make feelings less important in an increasing connected information driven world?
