A good place to start would be to see if there's anything on NCBI Bookshelf, and then search pubmed for recent review articles. And then you can drill down further using their citations.


No one says that outright but poverty and violent extremism are pretty closely linked. Its not the only factor ofc, and youll always have outliers, but comfortable people with things worth losing are less likely to do something to endanger that.


Income inequality and violent crime are linked. Absolute poverty is tolerable to the psyche so long as everyone is in the same boat.


This was a suicide, not violent extremism.

Might be relevant as an decentralized alternative https://ethlance.com/


Eth lance is garbage, tell me, what recourse do you have when someone decides to simply not pay for completed work?


Payroll tax. And cutting perks is easier than cutting salaries.


There are, see Etherdelta. And also projects like 0xproject.com are working on going entirely trustless.


Alot of companies do exactly that. Using systems like: http://www.tapbiosystems.com/

But it's not cost effective when producing millions of liters.


TAP Biosystems is the manufacturer of what is now called the Sartorius.

Also, if you look carefully at the Lygos website photos, you'll see the Sartorius.


It is. But technically they are correct.

If you just handed out phage freely, as you do abx, bacteria will "eventually" evolve resistance to phage....at a 2-3 orders slower rate, but it will eventually happen.

Of course, the solution is easy, you don't develop a phage therapy like you would an antibiotic, but rather like a constantly updating flu vaccine.


The 'therapy' might not be handing out pre-grown phages, but literally doing the labwork to isolate and grow phages right in the hospital for each patient.

This was how phage therapy was originally developed, and it's still being done that in some surprising places like Georgia [1]. They have phage 'banks' for common bacterial species, and it's not effective, they end up taking bacterial samples from each patient and isolating more phages.

Why are researchers, who are supposed to be pushing the boundaries of what is possible, so averse to taking risk? or failing?
