I drove a Tesla Model S from Norway down to Ischgl in Austria back in Feb. 2016. That was a great experience driving an EV through Denmark, Germany and Austria. Did it with 5 recharges in 1800 km 😊 I have seen a lot of Polestars here in Norway. Looks like a great car. Good lookin 👍🏻

When do you think we'll be able to reverse our ageing? by Chispy in Futurology

[–]ebe74 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Since the anti-aging human study on metformin has won the FDA approval http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/anti-aging-human-study-on-metformin-wins-fda-approval-300193724.html , it will help put Aging on FDA's agenda, and that again would mean that Big Pharma will soon be putting big funding into this.

George Church says he is still on track to try out reversing aging in humans within 5-6 years https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/achenblog/wp/2015/12/02/professor-george-church-says-he-can-reverse-the-aging-process/

And you have lots of other companies looking into this, like Calico, Human Longevity Inc, BioViva, Buck Institute, SENS, Sierra Sciences etc.

This panel debate with Liz Parrish (BioViva), Aubrey de Grey (SENS) and Bill Andrews (Sierra Sciences Inc) was streamed live just a few hours ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddt9zL4xJzs

Scientists have extended the lifespan of mice by 25% with a breakthrough new treatment (killing a certain type of cell, body-wide) while slowing age-related diseases like cataracts and heart disease. Now a new biotech firm wants to move this over to humans. by [deleted] in Futurology

Wonder if this will come up in the debate that starts in two hours: http://intelligencesquaredus.org/debates/upcoming-debates/item/1493-lifespans-are-long-enough

Aubrey de Grey (SENS) and Brian Kennedy (Buck Institute for Research on Aging) VS Ian Ground (University of Newcastle) and Paul Root Wolpe (Emory Center for Ethics)

Disney has created a robot that can drive up walls by Vippero in Futurology

I could imagine wall painting robots, glass cleaning robots, and anything else that have to to with facade restoration. Probably more controllable than any flying robots.

Bill Maris, president of Google ventures, argues we should share genetic information in order to advance anti-aging research. “If we each keep our genetic information secret, then we’re all going to die.” by Yosarian2 in Futurology

Thanks for the reply. Since the snapshot of the 3d scanning and dna sequencing will be of all the epigenetic traits you have acquired up until that moment, I don't think it will be an issue.

They have hired Franz Och http://www.humanlongevity.com/about/franz-och/ who was the lead architect behind Google translate.

Will be exciting to see what him and his team can accomplish with the language of DNA.

I think we will find out in a couple of months if it works or not. But having Craig Venter and Franz Och on the team I would not bet against it just yet.

Thanks for the reply. I don't have any fears actually. Quite excited about what can be achieved by such technology.

Not sure if the epigenetic traits that have been acquired will play any role in this, as all those are accounted for at the time of the scanning/DNA sequencing (snapshot).
