Colorado health officials turn people away from drive-up coronavirus testing site in Denver because of high demand

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, health

At 11 a.m., one hour after the lab opened, the wait time was three hours. The site is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Health officials will create a cutoff point in line. Those on the wrong side of that cutoff will get first preference tomorrow when the lab reopens, the Colorado Department of Health and Environment said in a statement.

The state urged people with symptoms and people who believe they have been exposed to the novel coronavirus to ask their doctor about getting swabs analyzed by private providers who now have the capacity to complete testing.

If this era of automation mirrors the past, we’re in trouble

Posted by in categories: economics, food, robotics/AI

“In the case of the Industrial Revolution, people’s lives didn’t improve for seven decades,” Frey says. “That’s two generations. I think we need to be very concerned about some of these short-term effects on people.”

Frey says for seven decades wages were stagnant, food consumption decreased and “people’s living standards deteriorated.” The economy was doing quite well, but most of the workers weren’t seeing the benefits of that economy.

“Because people’s living standards deteriorated, people rioted against mechanized factories. The Luddites are often portrayed as these irrational enemies of progress, and to some extent, that’s right if you take a very long term view,””

Researchers accidentally solve decades-old puzzle that could help create entirely new kinds of computers

Posted by in categories: computing, quantum physics

Scientists have accidentally solved a decades-old quantum puzzle that could lead to new breakthroughs in entirely different kinds of computers. The breakthrough discovery not only solves a mystery that has perplexed scientists for more than half a century, but could allow researchers new capabilities when they are building quantum computers and sensors. It means that.

Something strange is going on with the North Star

Posted by in categories: internet, neuroscience, surveillance

Electromagnetic radiation, radar, and surveillance technology are used to transfer sounds and thoughts into people’s brain. UN started their investigation after receiving thousands of testimonies from so-called “targeted individuals” (TIs).”


Magnus Olsson, Geneva 8 March 2020

UN Human Rights Council (HRC) Special Rapporteur on torture revealed during the 43rd HRC that Cyber technology is not only used for internet and 5G. It is also used to target individuals remotely – through intimidation, harassment and public shaming.

Novel error-correction scheme developed for quantum computers

Posted by in categories: computing, particle physics, quantum physics

Scientists in Australia have developed a new approach to reducing the errors that plague experimental quantum computers; a step that could remove a critical roadblock preventing them scaling up to full working machines.

By taking advantage of the infinite geometric space of a particular quantum system made up of bosons, the researchers, led by Dr. Arne Grimsmo from the University of Sydney, have developed quantum correction codes that should reduce the number of physical quantum switches, or qubits, required to scale up these machines to a useful size.

“The beauty of these codes is they are ‘platform agnostic’ and can be developed to work with a wide range of quantum hardware systems,” Dr. Grimsmo said.

The 2020 Undoing Aging Conference is rescheduled to October (21−23)

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension

We will be issuing ticket refunds to attendees, who cannot attend the new date.


Berlin / Mountain View, March 12, 2020.

Forever Healthy Foundation and SENS Research Foundation have decided to reschedule Undoing Aging 2020 to October, 21–23. Following the WHO’s declaration of COVID-19 as a pandemic, we will do our share to prevent it from spreading further. We will be issuing ticket refunds to attendees, who cannot attend the new date.

Is Aging a Disease? | LifeXtenShow

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension

Nicola Bagalà is one of the best advocates of rejuvenation therapies that I know. I follow him since he did a blog called “Rejuvenaction” some years ago. In this video, he discusses in a profound way a very important question. I ask everybody of the rejuvenation community: don’t miss this video, let’s spread it on YouTube, Facebook and social media, and let’s give this video the audience it needs and deserves. It’s not everyday we have such opportunity.


Does biological aging qualify as a disease? Does this affect the development of therapies that treat and prevent age-related diseases? Here’s Nicola’s take on the subject.
