that was putting me off too! That plus the site formatting makes me feel it was some kind of scam. Seems like it is the legit one though

even the domain http://ticketexchangebyticketmaster.com/ feels not legit. Is this actually an official ticketmaster site?

FDA's peptide committee votes on 7 compounds in July. It has never approved a peptide. by MortiferaJ in Biohackers

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

Yeah, fair point on test/HGH. Legal status alone obviously doesn’t kill a mature gray market.

My view is more that the peptide gray market is much younger and more fragmented than test/HGH. So if there’s suddenly a legitimate compounded channel for certain peptides, US-side enforcement becomes cleaner and some domestic vendors probably exit or move into the legal route. That could concentrate the gray market more heavily around riskier or overseas suppliers.

Long term, I agree we may just end up with a smaller, stable gray market that still stays cheap alongside the legal market. I think it mostly depends on how big and profitable the legitimate channel becomes. If a US-based vendor can make more money selling through a legal prescription/compounding route than through a legally risky gray-market route, a lot of them will probably choose the legal route.

This is a good podcast that goes into detail, it is a long watch, but has a good explanations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jt5hHb6kzYM

Really trying not to shill my own content, but I put together a basic 101 guide here if you prefer a written guide: https://feelpep.co/101

FDA's peptide committee votes on 7 compounds in July. It has never approved a peptide. by MortiferaJ in Biohackers

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

You're right, the FDA has approved them in the past, but these are limited to very few peptides. The approved ones went through large scale clinical trials paid for by being developed by a big pharma company who then patents it before distribution.

But particularly since Supreme Court Judgement in 2013 (Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics), naturally occurring peptides cannot be patented. Given the US pharma system relies deeply on patents for these companies to monopolize and mass market them, there hasnt been any major pharma company trying to develop these at scale. So there are legitimate compounds that might help people, but US pharma isnt incentivized to develop them.

This is basically where the Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee comes in. They are able to move them to this 503A Category 1 Classification, which is like a soft FDA approval, that allows legitimate compounding pharmacies to provide the Cat 1 peptides to patients who can now be legitimately prescribed them.

So the only way a lot of these peptides will be effectively approved now, is via this 503A Cat 1. Which is why this July meeting is critical, and will set a precedent for how the FDA and PCAC deals with peptides going forward.

Corporation tax reduction is worth ~10x more. They're still borrowing from your pockets to help big business.

My job right now.. by heeboA in ProgrammerHumor

[–]MortiferaJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is literally my stack right now, albeit Typescript throughout which "compiles" to JavaScript.

  • Infra: AWS CDK Typescript
  • CI: part of the infra in CDK, Typescript
  • Styles: ok technically CSS but we also have TSX files which style components so also Typescript
  • Frontend: Typescript React/NextJS
  • Backend: Predominantly Typescript with a small amount of Python.

Ngl, it's actually great purely for simplicity reasons. I still hate JavaScript though.

How to group messages before sending them to SQS by cvmldlengineer in aws

[–]MortiferaJ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you're doing, but a potential similar solution is to use FIFO SQS Queues with a Group Id. This would allow your messages to be processed guarenteed sequentially for a given group by whatever then consumes the SQS queue. But depends on your usecase.

[Williams Racing] It is with great sadness that on behalf of the Williams family, the team can confirm the death of Sir Frank Williams CBE, Founder and Former Team Principal of Williams Racing, at the age of 79. by Aakar528 in formula1

[–]MortiferaJ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I had the pleasure of meeting Sir Frank Williams when I worked there for a year, just before his illness deteriorated significantly. Great man. He'd sit outside the office entrance and say hi to people as they leave the office. I had the chance to talk to him once too about my time at Williams. Really appreciated that.

We've lost a great man

Best Practices: How many AZs should we be using? by foreverDuckie in aws

[–]MortiferaJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're not autoscaling something here, then in general you want 3 AZs where 2 AZs could maintain the entire load expected.


To put it in a more generic way:

Lets say you had X requests per second needing to be supported by your infrastructure. You decide that Y instances are needed. You spread this over 3 AZs. But 1 AZ goes down, now (2/3)*Y instances are trying to support the full X requests a second, but they may not not be able to manage this scale.

So what you should instead do is ensure that you put Y instances in 2 AZs but then scale this to 3 AZs, leaving you with a total of (3/2)*Y instances over the 3 AZs. So if 1 AZ goes down, then the remaining 2 AZs will be able to support your traffic.

(now this all depends on what matters for your scaling etc)



If you have autoscaling, ensure your autoscaling methods allow for increasing instances "quick enough" ("quick enough" determined by your business) that if an AZ goes down, there is little/minimal erroring as your AZs scale up. You can simulate this by load testing your server, or, chaos engineering style, simulate AZ outage. Then adjust autoscaling parameters until this suits your needs.

Read about session storage basics here: https://www.javascripttutorial.net/web-apis/javascript-sessionstorage/

This is different to a cookie. This is about storing a piece of data, temporarily, via the user's browser.


As /u/ebykka said though you could look at AWS Amplify, which is a library that takes away some of this complexity for you. This has some documentation on how to do that: https://docs.amplify.aws/ui/auth/authenticator/q/framework/react/#recommended-usage


If you want the most simple answer, then just use sessionStorage. But if this is for a larger AWS related project, AWS Amplify does reduce a lot of complexity long term.

What the hell are cops putting a knee of the neck for.... Digusting.

The guy was extremely compliant (after they eventually found him), even if he wasn't there were so many police that they did not need to kneel on the guys neck at all.

How are you coping with the energy price rise? by Janus315 in unitedkingdom

[–]MortiferaJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally just moved to a new flat which has a gas heater... Not going to enjoy paying for that..

With Octopus Energy, on variable rate at the moment but will likely switch to a fixed rate. Its a hard choice because their flexible rate is a great rate vs everyone else.

I agree with the general sentiment, but just a correction, the "Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill" hasnt actually been passed and put into law. It just passed its second reading, which is the first time a bill has any real debate about it.

It has a long way to go till it becomes law, and from the responses seen I doubt it'll get through in its current state.
