Antiaging technology, like the research David Sinclair has done to reverse macular degeneration in mice, and more recently in monkeys, by using 3 of the Yamanaka factors.

New comment by freefrancisco in "Ask HN: What would be your stack if you are building an MVP today?"

freefrancisco — Fri, 27 Jan 2023 12:28:31 +0000

I would use IHP, it's basically Haskell On Rails using nix and Postgres, and it all works out of the box. You can autogenerate code for controllers, schema, views, etc. and have a running app in 15 minutes. You can then hack on the code and with ghcid you can always make sure your code is correct as you make changes. I used it for a project recently and I found it much better than rails, python, elixir, and node for this purpose. I am not even considering Java or C because those are not for MVPs.

One thing I would like to know though, is if I pay for this, do I get access to the raw data to download and analyze myself? That's one of the things I really like about the Oura, I can download the data into a python notebook and do all sorts of analysis on it. It would be cool to combine both data streams and see what insight I can get from it.

So it's the Oura ring plus body fat detection and analyzing your voice. Are these two extra things worth paying a monthly subscription? I will probably get it anyway, at least for the first six months, just to play with it and see how much extra value it gives me on top of the Oura.

We should back up Wikipedia in stone tablets and bury them in various places on earth and on the dark side of the moon, just in case our Library of Alexandria gets burned by an EMP during a nuclear war.
