Thankfully, USB4’s changes are internal only—the connectors are still USB-C.

Ira Pastor Comments:
On the last several shows we have spent time on different hierarchical levels the biologic-architecture of the life, disease and aging process. We’ve spent some time talking about the genome, the microbiome, tissue engineering, systems biology, quantum biology, organism hydrodynamics, biosemiotics, and chronobiology.
As exciting and promising as all of these research paths are, at the end of the day, in order for them to yield what many of us are looking for, radically extended healthspans and lifespans, and for them to be translated at scale, that is: approved by regulators, marketed by large pharma and CPG companies, and prescribed by a millions of clinicians (especially as the target market is all 7+ billion inhabitants of the planet), there needs to be an appropriate system of advocacy, education, awareness, and networking built around them to spread the word of the possibilities and the beautiful future that they can bring.
A new study in healthy adults suggests that antibiotics may reduce the effectiveness of the flu vaccine.
The depletion of gut bacteria by antibiotics appears to leave the immune system less able to respond to new challenges, such as exposure to previously unencountered germs or vaccines, said Bali Pulendran, Ph.D., professor of pathology and of microbiology and immunology at the Stanford University School of Medicine.
“To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of the effects of broad-spectrum antibiotics on the immune response in human—in this case, our response to vaccination—directly induced through the disturbance of our gut bacteria,” he said.
Small study is ‘not rock solid’ but could have huge consequences for ageing, experts say.
Bitcoin and cryptocurrency prices are well known to be closely tied to media and general public interest –-though that could be changing.
The bitcoin price has been climbing so far this year, rising some 200% since January, though has recently plateaued at around $10,000 per bitcoin after peaking at more than $12,000 in June.
Now, it appears Google searches for bitcoin and BTC, the name used by traders for the bitcoin digital token, could be being manipulated–-possibly in order to move the bitcoin price.
After being hit by a ransomware attack, Massachusetts city New Bedford faced a payout demand of more than $5 million – one of the largest known ransoms ever.
After a ransomware attack slapped a hefty payout demand of $5.3 million on New Bedford, Mass., the city announced that it is instead opting to pick up the pieces and restore what it can from backups itself.
If the city had opted to pay, the payout would have been the largest known ransom payout for an attack yet.
The high pollution in the oceans is a big problem on the planet. According to recent research, it is likely that in the year 2050 we will find more plastic than fish in the waters of the seas, and for this reason there are many people working to generate solutions to this problem, some very imaginative to reverse this situation.
He did groundbreaking work toward finding a “theory of everything.” He died in an Alpine rock-climbing accident.
