Send a textJoin David Greene, EFF Senior Staff Attorney and Civil Liberties Director, as he joins Lisa Rein to discuss the latest about Pavel Durov's arrest in France and the implications of Telegram's unencrypted group chats for its users.Even Telegram's one-to-one direct messages are only encrypted if the "secret chat" feature is enabled by both parties. Another troubling issue is that Telegram stores its messages in the cloud, as plain text, as this Tweet from Signal Founder Moxie Marlinspike explains: https://x.com/moxie/status/1828464949703909574For these reasons, Telegram can't actually be considered a "secure messaging app" because real secure messaging apps, such as Signal and What's App, are end-to-end encrypted by default. A lot of Telegram users might not care if their group chats aren't encrypted, as they are using group chats to broadcast to the public anyway, but for those who might be using Telegram for more sensitive group conversations, it's an important fact to make note of.About David Greene, Senior Staff Attorney and Civil Liberties Director, EFFDavid Greene has significant experience litigating First Amendment issues in state and federal trial and appellate courts.

Send a textMeet Sequoia Alexander and Acorn, an open source autonomous solar powered farming robot designed to function within a regenerative organic farming system.Sequoia and Daniel Theobald are building Acorn: an open source general purpose solar powered precision farming rover, intended to be used in every step of the farming process. Acorn is just one small part of the "Solar Powered Farming Revolution" - but it is unique in its community approach, which lowers the cost and ensures broader access by using bicycle parts and 3D printed parts in its approach.Sequoia and Daniel started out designing a base vehicle that was solar powered, had four-wheel drive, and was lightweight, with the intention of making it accessible and easy to build in any location around the world. Using simple materials such as bicycle parts and 3D printable parts, they implemented a design that included a rectangular frame made from welded aluminum, with four-wheel steering on all corners.The prototype vehicle was successfully created and equipped with remote control capabilities, a small computer, and GPS for self-driving functionality. This base vehicle serves as the foundation for incorporating tools and computer vision systems to further enhance its farming capabilities.The Acorn project emphasizes the benefits of regenerative farming and aims to support small to medium-sized farms in implementing sustainable farming practices. By providing a platform for farmers to automate and streamline various farming tasks, the solar-powered robot has the potential to increase efficiency, reduce labor costs, and promote environmentally friendly farming methods.Creating a versatile and accessible farming robot opens up possibilities for innovation and collaboration within the agricultural community and paves the way for a new era of automated and sustainable farming practices. The key design decisions for the robot include its capability to handle various tasks involved in the farming process, such as soil preparation, planting, weeding, and harvesting.Sequoia and Daniel’s vision for the project extends beyond creating a single robot for their own use. They are now working on developing a production version of the robot that will be available as a kit for others to build and customize for their own farming needs. This will not only allow individuals to have their own customized farming robots, but it can also foster a community of developers and users who can collaborate and share features to further improve and expand the capabilities of the robot.#farmingrobots #regenerativefarming #autonomousrobotsACORN is:-low cost-precision farming rover-solar powered-4 wheel drive-4 wheel steering-lightweightThere is a design kit in development and you can learn more and get involved with the community at: community.twistedfields.comYou can read about the whole system here:https://community.twistedfields.com/t/join-the-solar-farming-revolution-support-acorn-and-empower-farmers-worldwide/370About Sequoia a.k.a.

Send a textJoin Kennedy Schaal (CEO) and Axel Schumacher (Chief Biotechnology Officer) of Rejuve Biotech to learn how they are using cutting-edge AI and innovative drug discovery methods to improve our health and extend our lifespan. With Ben Goertzel, Lisa Rein and Grace Robot.#Longevity #PrecisionMedicine #AIAbout Dr. Axel Schumacher:Dr. Axel Schumacher is the Chief Biotechnology Officer of Rejuve Biotech, which combines state-of-the-art machine learning and artificial general intelligence methods with a continuously updated biomedical knowledge graph integrating human and model organism databases. He has over 25 years of R&D leadership experience in genomics, epigenetics, biomarker discovery, Bio-IT, ageing & longevity.In 2010, Schumacher proposed the ‘epigenetic theory of aging’ a new unifying model of aging and the development of complex diseases, incorporating classical aging theories and epigenetics. His foundational work on epigenetic drift and age-related epigenetic changes in mice and humans led to the "epigenetic clock" theory of aging. Earlier in his career, Schumacher invented the technology of ‘epigenetic microarrays’ which led to hundreds of research discoveries across the world, including the first worldwide proof of whole genome epigenetic changes in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.About Kennedy Schaal:Kennedy Schaal, CEO of Rejuve Biotech is the visionary force behind Rejuve.BIO and a true pioneer in the field of longevity science. With a strong leadership track record in applied genomic research and artificial intelligence, Kennedy has earned the moniker "Fly Queen" for her groundbreaking work with Drosophila melanogaster Methuselah Flies. Her expertise in genomic selection and breeding, combined with cutting-edge AI, has positioned her as a world-leading expert in the quest for extended health and lifespan.Kennedy's contributions to the science of longevity are not only theoretical but also practical. She is a multi-published author, sharing her insights and findings on applied genomics trials and the science of aging. About Rejuve Biotech:Rejuve Biotech is a partner company to Rejuve.AI and is building an innovative AI-powered drug discovery and development platform. The project is developing a translational medicine service that combines an in-house model organism population with a unique AI-based analytical platform. The platform combines state-of-the-art machine learning and artificial general intelligence methods with a continuously updated biomedical knowledge graph integrating human and model organism databases. The Rejuve Bio Flybase (fly genetics Atomspace database) and longevity drug prediction and discovery engines will be some of the first use cases of the OpenCog Hyperon AGI framework.The Rejuve Biotech animal model of choice is the long-lived Methuselah Fly, a type of Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly), selectively bred over hundreds of generations to live at least 5 times longer than wild-type flies. These flies offer an expedited mode for generational longevity studies and for early evaluation of potential therapy candidates — faster, less expensive, and more scalable than human or other animal models.FOLLOW Mindplex Podcast: WEBSITE → https://magazine.mindplex.ai/Mindplex News → https://magazine.mindplex.ai/news/ Mindplex TWITTER → https://twitter.com/Mindplex_ai/FACEBOOK → https://www.facebook.com/MindplexAI/ YOUTUBE → https://www.youtube.com/@mindplexpodcast/

Send a textMichael Lustgarden explains how he uses aging biomarkers from a basic CBC panel to track and, with course correction (supplements or diet changes), gradually slow down one's rate of aging. Michael's basic premise is that aging and disease are biochemical processes that happen over many decades. So if we can track just even the standard biomarkers of organ and systemic function, that's the things you usually get at a yearly physical, even just starting there, if you can track and then knowing how these biomarkers change during aging, and how they relate to all cause mortality risk, or risk of death for all causes, then in theory, you can slow the rate of aging of multiple organ systems down slow your rate of disease and potentially maximize longevity. Since 2015, Michael has been blood testing up to seven times a year, in order to get a year to year change, to see where his status is. Tracking diet every day, fitness related metrics, cardiovascular system, sleep, the oral microbiome now and epigenetics. He is looking at correlations between the outcome variables with the diet and everything else then, of course, correcting after every test, with the goal of slowing the changes in these biomarkers.About Dr. Michael Lustgarten:Dr. Michael Lustgarten is Scientist II on the Nutrition, Exercise Physiology, and Sarcopenia (NEPS) Team at the HNRCA (Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging) at Tufts Medical Center. His current research focuses on the role of the gut microbiome and serum metabolome on muscle mass and function in older adults. He has been a guest lecturer at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy on topics such as the gut microbiome, serum metabolome, oxidative stress, exercise, and sarcopenia and has contributed to 25 publications in leading peer-reviewed journals that have been cited more than 2,400 times, including 17 manuscripts as the first or last author.His YouTube channel is here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT1UMLpZ_CrQ_8I431K0b-g#longevity #aging #biomarkers FOLLOW Mindplex Podcast: WEBSITE → https://magazine.mindplex.ai/Mindplex News → https://magazine.mindplex.ai/news/ Mindplex TWITTER → https://twitter.com/Mindplex_ai/FACEBOOK → https://www.facebook.com/MindplexAI/ YOUTUBE → https://www.youtube.com/@mindplexpodcast/Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/3RbGNlj9SX8rYOVblnVnGg/
