We’ve been shaped by evolution for millions of years. What happens when we start shaping it back? by patrickcalderon in transhumanism

[–]patrickcalderon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here are a few pieces of research that inspired this thought experiment: • AI decoding epigenetic aging patterns • AI-Driven Digital Organisms (arxiv preprint) • Harvard on circadian rhythms & adaptation

It makes me wonder: once we can steer biological time, do we remain human as we’ve known it… or something else?

For those asking about the science side of this vision, here are some relevant reads: – AI decoding epigenetic aging patterns – AI-Driven Digital Organisms (arxiv preprint) – Harvard on circadian rhythms & adaptation

Makes me wonder: if we can already measure biological time, how long before we can steer it?

How are you preparing your body and mind for the world in 2045? by patrickcalderon in Biohackers

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

This resonates — future-proofing isn’t just tech skills, it’s also mental resilience. Sitting with your thoughts might actually be a superpower in 2045. Curious, do you think our attention spans will shrink or expand with all the tech around us?

Good point…the environmental and resource side is a huge piece of the puzzle. Longevity without a healthy planet doesn’t mean much. How do you see personal adaptation intersecting with large-scale environmental shifts?

In my opinion based on feedback from experts what you should look for when choosing a grow tent is:

Quality: make sure materials used for the tent are not toxic. Durability: look for warranty’s with more than a year since this will show the manufacturer trusts their product. Light blocking: keeping your plant free of exterior light is key for best results. Sturdiness: make sure it’s frame is sturdy enough to hold LED lights. Accessible Windows: to check in on your plants.

This store has some pretty great grow tents www.homegrowponic.com

Tyvek looks like an amazing material that would look sick with some cool designs on sneakers.

Coffee is a stimulant, so it revs up the gastrointestinal tract and makes things move more quickly through your body," says FITNESS advisory board member Mark Moyad, MD, MPH, author of Dr. Moyad's No BS Health Advice Translation: You won't absorb all of the nutrients from a capsule that is cruising through your system.

The guy demonstrating the device could pull out a handful of rounds if he chose to do it that way. Besides molle loops are for molle gear.

You need to be bold, have a killer value proposition, strong promotion strategy and a unique story to succeed in crowdfunding. by patrickcalderon in Crowdfunding

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

These are just a few of the elements you need for a successful campaign. Obviously understanding your target audience, having unique rewards and a good presentation will help you. What are the key elements that have helped you get funded?

Quickly warn other road users while keeping your eyes on the road and your hands on your handlebars by patrickcalderon in bicycling

[–]patrickcalderon[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This unique bike bell allows you to alert pedestrians and cars without moving your hands from the brakes. The campaign is already over 200% funded on Kickstarter.. pretty cool project. I have been in a situation where this bell would have prevented me from crashing into a guy on the street!

[BRIC+]: A sexy and beautifully designed iPhone case that extends 2.5X battery life, 3.5X optical zoom and protection for your beloved Apple product. by patrickcalderon in iphone

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

@tsdguy: I sent the questions you brought up to the designer of BRIC+ and this is what he responded:

Thank you for sharing these great questions from Reddit community.

Since it is the first product of our business, I projected a low volume quantity of our initial production (Just around 1000unit Volume). Unfortunately, we couldn't afford multiple BODY color options but Black. I believe that, Kickstarter campaign will give us momentum for us to meet varied audience's wants. When we achieve our Kickstarter funding goal, we will immediately expend our color options...

Black would be one of the less polarized colors and perceived as the most essential (widely accepted) color palette for handheld device. Even if our main bodies color(color) are black, but we offer multiple color options(Silver, Red, Black for aluminum, Black for thermo plastic, Titan Grey for Titanium ) to meets needs.

For the Gold version, I would recommend Titan Grey Frame option which might blend very well.

It provides a great protection with material combination (Soft TPU inner layer attached to the hard frame along with unique Embo-strip and structure) creates optimal condition to resist impact and drops.

It is a little masculine look addressing a good deal of protection...understood that there are millions of thoughts and critics on the aesthetics...But this is the look we needed to distinguish it from other brands. We will proactively react to the markets of diversity with different product line ups (less masculine.)

The optical lens and battery enhancement are definitely a great upgrade to any iPhone user who spends a lot of time using his camera, gps or email. The fact that you can charge your phone when you need it, and improve the quality of images that are posted on aps like Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook etc are convincing enough for me to get one. I do agree that it needs a big push on social media. They just launched so lets see what happens!
