Billionaires are wasting money on anecdotally testing longevity hacks. Here are the best longevity hacks that you learned in high school but forgot as an adult and then some. Avoid tobacco. Avoid alcohol. 3 cups unsweetened black coffee a day. Adhere to vaccinations for age. Take your booster shots too. Predominantly plant based diet. Minimum 8000 steps a day. Min 154 min of aerobics/week. Find and do work that makes you happy. Keep and care for a pet. Play video games. Avoid bro science. Avoid alternative medicine. Follow real experts. Not role playing ones. Listen to your doctor. Not the internet.

Yes! Long, but one of the best conversations I've had on medical and health was with @amitvarma. Its here: seenunseen.in/episodes/2023/…

Sneek peek! Starting Lies of P.

Many thanks to Prof. Steven Novella and The Science-Based Medicine for writing on and highlighting our work! This means a lot to me and my team of researchers who spend our own money and resources to improve public health education and safety. You can read Prof. Novella's write up here: sciencebasedmedicine.org/liver-failure-… You can read our original work here: frontiersin.org/journals/gastr…

All major central/state government medical institutes in India including apex hospitals such as All India Institutes of Medical Science (AIIMS) and National institute of mental health and Neuro Sciences (NIMHANS) promote and treat serious diseases with integrative medicine.

Online debate (English) today at 3 pm Is Ayurveda a Pseudoscience? Modern Doctor vs Ayurveda Vaidya Dr. Abby Philips vs. Vaidya Vasundhara Sadineni Moderator - Chandrasekhar Ramesh @ neuronz youtube channel LIVE link : youtube.com/live/z1_zou2Vi…

@theliverdoc Watched for 10min : 1. Doc, 🫡 for doing this. Liked your pi-day thing. 2. Stop, debating with POS which amount to nothing.

@tessak22 @tabstack Congrats, 👏🤝. Welcome Mozillian, Tessa 😁

April 7 I’m starting at Mozilla! I’ll be the first GTM hire for @tabstack, a new browser automation infrastructure platform. Getting to pave the way towards market success. It’s a little bit of everything I love to do from coding demos to writing marketing copy to building partnerships. It’s a role I never thought I’d find, yet here it is. Best part, I didn’t even apply! Someone amazing at the company referred me and the hiring manager reached out. It’s almost like it was divine intervention. 😏

@Kostastsale On it… 💳

@decode_dev Sign up is open tho at the moment, you don’t have to wait for another invite 😉 threathuntinglabs.com

Today I’m launching Threat Hunting Labs. Over the years I’ve analyzed many real-world intrusions. One thing became obvious: most training platforms don’t resemble how investigations actually happen. So I built something different. Threat Hunting Labs focuses on investigation-driven learning using real telemetry and structured investigative paths. If you want to get better at investigating breaches, you should practice investigating breaches. More details here: threathuntinglabs.com/blog/introduci…

@Kostastsale Ahh, damn. Got the beta invite. Tried but the link didn’t work. Dropped an email.

@decode_dev You ca sign up for free in the platform. Invites will be sent shortly for the official release. If you have an invite for the beta, it won’t work. Beta is no more 🙂

VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT. Dear friends, we have published the largest analytical study of Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Siddha, Unani and Folk-Traditional Medicinal products that have harmed patients - presenting with liver damage - to our department. This is the most exhaustive analytical study that correlated clinical outcomes in such patients. Interestingly, one of the Reviewers who peer-reviewed our paper (notification after paper publication) and cleared it for publication is a senior professor of Ayurveda (Rasashastra and Bhaishajya Kalpana) at All India Institute of Ayurveda. This makes our paper even more impactful. Here is a plain language summary of the study's major findings, highlighting what patients and the public need to know about the safety of alternative medicines: Severe Liver Damage is a Major Risk: The study looked at 386 alternative and complementary medicines taken by patients who experienced liver damage. It found that these products frequently triggered a severe, life-threatening form of liver failure, called Acute-on-chronic liver failure (or ACLF) which resulted in death for nearly 40% of the patients who developed it. Unlabeled Products Can Be Deadly: Taking "unlabeled" products—those sold without proper ingredient lists, manufacturer details, or batch numbers—was a strong predictor of death. The risk of dying increased the more unlabeled products a patient consumed, showing how dangerous an unregulated supply chain can be. Data revealed a dose-response relationship where death rates escalated progressively, reaching 42.9% among patients who consumed three or more unlabeled products. Dangerous Levels of Heavy Metals: A shocking number of the tested products were heavily contaminated with toxic metals like mercury, lead, arsenic, and cadmium, often at levels far above safety limits. Exposure to cadmium, in particular, was strongly linked to patients developing the most severe form of liver failure. Exposure to cadmium was strongly and significantly associated with the development of ACLF (75.9% in exposed versus 22.6% in unexposed patients). Hidden Prescription Drugs: Almost one-third of the products secretly contained modern pharmaceutical drugs, meaning patients were taking them without knowing. These hidden drugs included steroids, antibiotics, and painkillers, and some were even banned or well-known to cause liver damage. "Natural" Doesn't Always Mean Safe: Over 40% of the products contained plant ingredients that are medically documented to be toxic to the liver. Well-known herbs like Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia) and Ashwagandha were among the most common potentially harmful plants found in the products. Secret Animal Ingredients: Testing revealed that nearly a third of the products contained undisclosed animal ingredients (such as dairy, marine products, or animal extracts). This is a major concern for vegans, vegetarians, and people with religious dietary restrictions who believe they are taking plant-based medicines. Risks from Concentrated Plant Extracts: The study discovered that high concentrations of certain common plant fats and compounds (called phytosterols) were tied to higher rates of severe liver failure. This shows that highly concentrated "natural" extracts can act differently in the body and become harmful, even if they come from everyday plants.

@theliverdoc OD symptoms of Vata-Pitta.

My debate with Ayurveda practitioner Vaidya Vasundhara Sadineni is happening on 14th March, 2026 (this Saturday) at 3PM on Neuronz YouTube channel. youtube.com/c/neuronz I am prepared. But also brushing up on data and studies....while my opponent is also gearing up for the debate like this....🥲 instagram.com/vasuvedaoffici…

Goodmorning. Just to remind the public and patients, I (we) have got your back. This is just a glimpse of the ongoing cost of fighting the alternative medicine misinformation industry. We keep publishing high-quality, peer-reviewed clinical practice changing medical papers on harms of alternative medicines... ...and they keep serving us criminal lawsuits, legal harassments, gag orders and police cases. I am not complaining. I love what I do. And I have good help. But sometimes, there are personal costs and sacrifices. We have one of the best, biggest and most shocking paper on Ayush-products and practices currently accepted for publication: frontiersin.org/journals/gastr… Once the paper is fully online, I will discuss in detail about it. But for now, its time to pay my lawyers who are working hard to defend me, and in the process, the public and patients from the alternative medicine vultures.

Our WireGuard implementation, GotaTun was recently audited by Assured Security Consultants. Two identified low severity issues were fixed prior to the completion of the audit. No major vulnerabilities were found. Read more here: mullvad.net/blog/a-securit…

@ivanburazin Wait, it’s been 8 years already 😳🫢 from ShiftDev. The venues and the places are effing 🤌.

My first job was selling popcorn on the boardwalk. Then shoveling snow. Then systems administrator. Then IT manager. Then pitched my boss: "Let's spin out the IT department as a company." Expected him to say no. He said yes. First entrepreneur experience: stacking servers, pulling cables across ceilings, building data rooms from scratch. Sold that company to a local competitor. Then started a developer conference and scaled it to thousands of attendees with events held across the world. Sold it to a global comms company with a $2B run rate. Then got back into infra and sold runtime dev environments to enterprises and scaled it to $300k ARR. Realized building for agents presented a far bigger and meaningful opportunity and pivoted. Started selling sandbox infra across the spectrum (from early stage YC companies to F100s) and scaled to $3M ARR in 90 days. Love the trajectory so far and can't wait to make it look even crazier.

@akhmxt Excellent points. Also sessions at SSB were more good than at BM. Also less chaos, place to unwind. The brutal truth is : China, USA far ahead in AI. R&D is need of the hour. Energy, depreciating water levels is a concern.

Resharing: my reflections on the India AI Summit - where I tried to be charitable to the aspirations of the Indian bureaucracy

Today evening. 7.45 pm (India time) on my channel. Please watch. All the science on new weight loss drugs - minus the fearmongering. Just what's useful. youtu.be/ra2ovZVpApU

@agneevX @mistyHarsh Big players are quite restrictive for customers controlled devices. Since there are very few people who does all this stuff. Have a chat with them, since had a friend who spoke to Senior Engineer and got it sorted.

@mistyHarsh @decode_dev Also haven’t come across a provider that uses Jio for transit other than Hathaway which Jio now owns.

Freaking cool to see this extensive work on DNS Blocking in India. Tech-savvy peeps : Get a powerful router, flash it with OpenWRT. Since most of the Indian ISP routers use TR-069 protocol in their firmware.

@bnchandrapal @nimishkarmali Sorry, missed this. I bought it from md-computers. Since Amazon didn’t have them. RT-AX53U [AX1800] Dual band. This is ok for running OpenWRT. There are better options but not easily available here.

@decode_dev @nimishkarmali iirc ASUS RT-AX53U has two versions one that doesnt support openwrt. Did you buy this device from Amazon India?
