Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett Could Help Fund World’s First Human Head Transplant - http://clapway.com/2016/01/26/mark-zuckerberg-bill-gates-and-warren-buffet-could-fund-head-tansplant-operation-123/

Doctor Sergio Canavero is raising funds to conduct the first ever human head transplant, and it could be funded by Mark Zuckerberg. The Italian neurosurgeon has already conferenced with doctors in Russia who are willing to carry out the surgery.


Billionares Bill Gates Clapway


Doctor Makes Video For Support Towards the World’s First Head Transplant


The patient and recipient of this procedure is Valeri Spiridonov, a 31-year-old Russian computer scientists. He was born with Wedin-Hoffmann disease, a rare degenerative illness. He wants to become the first person to have a human head transplant, which would be carried out by Dr Canavero. Canavero has declared that he has a 90% chance of success. If the surgery is actually successful, he could make medical history.


This surgery could cost about $12 million, so Canavero is calling for the world’s billionaires, like Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, to help fund the surgery.


Doctor Calls Out Mark Zuckerberg to Fund Head Transplant


Dr. Canavero specifically called to Mark Zuckerberg, saying that ‘he comes to mind since he has just been sponsoring live extension research and this is certainly a step toward live extension’. Apparently, the doctor has already been in talks with another team of surgeons in China, who have been carrying out the surgery on cadavers. They claim to be making true progress toward the first successful human head transplant.


What Would Happen if Billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates and Warren Buffet Get Involved


This breakthrough would bring medical surgery to an entirely new level. If billionaires such as these invested in this surgery, then the technology needed to carry out this surgery can definitely be developed.


This surgery is ambitious to say the least. This call to arms is a great step forward, but the medical equipment available is probably not good enough to make this a successful surgery just yet. There’s probably a lot more research and development that needs to go into this, and the world is probably not ready for what comes after this kind of procedure. The patient is getting his entire head replaced, and there’s a lot to be said about the ethical repercussions of this kind of surgery. Word from these billionaires has yet to be heard.

Bill Gates and Elon Musk Will Save the World from AI? - http://clapway.com/2016/01/21/bill-gates-elon-musk-stephen-hawking-will-save-the-world-from-ai-123/

Bill Gates, Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking have all done their part in warning the world of the true power of artificial intelligence. All three men were actually awarded the 2015 Luddite Award, which is given by the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation.


Luddite Award is Given to People Who Stir Fear and Hysteria


Because of their honest assessment on the power of new technology, these three men have been called alarmists who spread horror. There were 10 total nominees to the prices, and all three received them after getting more 3,680 votes.


Luddite is a word from 19th century England, and it is used to describe someone who is opposed to advances in technology. This is hardly an appropriate denomination for any of these men. Bill Gates is almost single-handedly responsible for putting PC computers in homes, Elon Musk has made a revolution with electric vehicles. Volumes can be written on the impact Stephen Hawking has had on the world.


Artificial Intelligence Can Ruin or Save the World


None of these figures have been shy about their opinions on the potential of artificial intelligence. Elon Musk has publicly claimed that he believes AI to be more dangerous than nukes, and Hawking co-wrote an article where he expressed that there may come a point where AI can’t be controlled at all.


Musk and Hawking actually signed an open letter from the Future of Life Institute. The letter pledged that advancements in artificial intelligence would not be able to grow beyond human control. They later signed another later banning the use of automatic weapons that were able to choose and shoot targets without approval from a human. Gates has claimed before that he is in full agreement with their beliefs.


Unfortunately, Gates, Musk and Hawking Are Quite Right


Artificial intelligence is a lot more dangerous than people give it credit for. It could well exceed the control of humans. Soon enough, it won’t need it. We already see this in self-driving cars, which need no input from humans to work. Will machine win over man? Probably not anytime soon.


The truth is that Bill Gates, Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking are right on the money on the potential of technology. They are only encouraging caution.

Top 7 Tech Skills That Could Turn You Into Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates - http://clapway.com/2016/01/20/top-7-tech-skills-that-could-make-you-another-mark-zuckerberg-or-bill-gates/

Who would not enjoy as much money as Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates have? Everyone would love that honor, and here are seven tech skills that could accomplish this:


#1 UML


Unified Modeling Language (UML) can be thought of as a program for constructing complex software designs. This skill could garner you over $101,000.


#2 POWERBUILDER


We come to another software development tool, and this one is intended to develop Windows apps. PowerBuilder is a little older than other tools, but it could get you, at least, $102,000.


#3 SILVERLIGHT


Silverlight is basically Microsoft’s version of Adobe Flash, and is another skill that could make you Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg Jr! Unfortunately, the company has made no bones about the fact that Silverlight is limited. It could still get you over $103,000, but if you do not have the skills now it might be too late.


#4 CISSP


Now, we move to a very important aspect to computing, computer security. This is not an easy process, and if you can garner the skills for it then Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg could become jealous of you!


#5 CLOJURE


This next money-making tech skill is an old programming language. Well, it is, at least, a modern version of an old programming language. Clojure is a 2007 version of the language known as Lisp and is worth at least $108,000.


#6 PMP CERTIFICATION


A certification that could gain you, at least, $108,000, the PMP is a very high-level document. The only way to achieve this certification is to complete at least 4,500 hours of project management. It does not stop there because once you get it, you have to work hard to keep it.


#7 PEOPLESOFT


The best tech skill to have to achieve the status of Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg is PeopleSoft. The demand for IT’s who can manage these apps is high, and could give you, at least, $110,000.

Top Three Reasons Why Bill Gates is Better Than Steve Jobs - http://clapway.com/2016/01/17/top-three-reasons-why-bill-gates-is-better-than-steve-jobs/

There is no doubt that both Bill Gates and Steve Jobs will be remembered forever. However, we think that Bill Gates is the better of the two.


THERE ARE Three Reasons Why Bill Gates is Better Than Steve Jobs


REASON ONE: PRODUCTS


There is no denying that Steve Jobs created some of the best products of all-time including the iPad, the iPhone, and the iPod. The problem, though, is that these types of products were already in existence when he created them. Before the iPod, there were MP3 players. Before the iPad, there were several tablets. Lastly, before the iPhone, there were several smartphones. On the other hand, Bill Gates created the MS-DOS which became the standard system for running computers. Without this, computers would have probably never been the same.


Bill Gates Clapway


REASON TWO: PHILANTHROPY


Philanthropy is something that Bill Gates is extremely well known for, and something Steve Jobs was not a fan of. Gates started the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and he has donated more than $25 billion to philanthropy. He also convinced Warren Buffet to donate several billions of dollars toward it. Steve Jobs, on the other hand, actually was notorious for closing down his company’s philanthropy program.


REASON THREE: THE WAY GATES GAVE HIS MONEY


Gates is better not just for the fact that he donated so much money, but because of the way he donated the money. He does not slap his name on huge buildings and large institutions, instead, he figures out the best way to give his money away. He used the idea of return on investment to donate to philanthropy. Both of these creative geniuses deserve praise, but in the end, Bill Gates will be remembered as the better of the two. Is there really any shame in that? Think about it…

Lil Wayne Could Weigh Into Snoop Dogg Feud with Microsoft, Bill Gates and Xbox - http://clapway.com/2016/01/16/snoop-dogg-lil-wayne-bill-gates-microsoft-and-xbox-on-instagram-123/

Xbox One servers were down for a while on Wednesday, and Snoop Dogg took to Instagram to diss Bill Gates, Microsoft and the Xbox One. The temporary outage fueled the rage of many.


Lil Wayne Clapway


Snoop Dogg Goes to Instagram to Rant


The short video has him ranting about the server being down for over seven hours. He even threatened Bill Gates himself that he would switch to the PlayStation 4 if the man didn’t take care of the problem. The PlayStation Network is no stranger to server outages, but it’s important for Xbox to remain popular with celebrities if they hope to ever outsell the PS4.


Snoop Dogg: ‘What the F*** Is You Doing, Bill Gates?’


The video, while not super aggressive in tone, was very aggressive verbally. The rapper urged Bill Gates, who is the founder, advisor and a board member at Microsoft, to get to the root of the problem. In the end, the issue wasn’t fixed, and seven hours later, the rapper reposted the video.


Other Celebrities Like Lil Wayne Could Also Quit


Microsoft made a single announcement on the outage, and it was to declare the server issue resolved. Still, taking so long to fix this kind of issue and causing this reaction can impact Microsoft negatively. Even other noted gamer celebrities like Lil Wayne could give the company bad rep, and bad sales.


Will Snoop Switch to the PS4?


Regardless of whether or not Snoop decides to switch to the PlayStation 4, his video can cause Microsoft a lot of harm. The company hasn’t been doing well in shaping up to Sony with their video game console. They need all of the positive representation they can get. Snoop Dogg is a man with a lot of hype on social media platforms. Making him angry is probably not something Microsoft wants.


It’d be no surprise if Snoop makes a follow-up video on Instagram after Microsoft sends him some kind of ‘sorry we screwed up’ presents in the form of some awesome merchandise. After all, business is mostly about marketing and advertising. Hopefully, Microsoft can find a way to use this to their advantage and get people excited about the Xbox. This isn’t the kind of kick off to 2016 that the company needs, especially when there are so many awesome things ahead for the Xbox console.

Five Facts Besides Steve Jobs and Bill Gates that You Didn’t know About LSD - http://clapway.com/2016/01/14/5-facts-besides-steve-jobs-and-bill-gates-that-you-didnt-know-about-lsd/

Many people are fully aware that Bill Gates and Steve Jobs have used LSD. A long time ago, Bill Gates did an interview with Playboy, and it was hinted that when he was young he used LSD. Steve Jobs actually went on record and said that doing it was one the most important things he has done in his life. Well, here are five facts that you probably did not know about LSD.


There Are 5 Facts Besides Steve Jobs and Bill Gates that You Didn’t know About LSD:


FACT 1: LSD IS NON-TOXIC


LSD is actually not a damaging toxin to your body. As a matter of fact, all that it will do is make you feel a little tired and worn out. However, unlike alcohol, cannabis, and cigarettes, LSD is not bad for you.


FACT 2: LSD IS NOT ADDICTIVE


The problem with drugs and cigarettes is that they are addictive. However, you will not have that problem with LSD. There is no ingredient in LSD that makes you addicted to it. So, this can easily be taken in moderation. This probably helped Bill Gates never do it again. Of course, Steve Jobs frequently used this, but that does not mean he was addicted.


FACT 3: LSD IS CHEAP


LSD is a very potent product, and as such does not require that many chemicals to produce it. Given this potency, LSD is extremely cheap. There is no doubt that you will get your money worth when it comes to this.


FACT 4: RESEARCH SPONSORED BY THE US ARMY


There was a project that was taken place back in the 50’s, and it was named MKULTRA. The point of this project was to find a drug that would act as a mind-controlling device. This then led to the development of LSD, and it is just ironic that it was actually sponsored by the US Army.


FACT 5: ELEVATES ORGASMS


OK, so this one might be a little inappropriate, but the effects of LSD will make your orgasms even better. Overall, LSD is really not such a bad thing.

Gene-Editing: Design Your Own Baby, Smarter Than Bill Gates - http://clapway.com/2015/12/02/gene-editing-design-baby-smarter-bill-gates-123/

The idea of gene-editing is very controversial and some people have expressed their dislike towards it. However, the reality of the situation, it is being practiced and it could potentially come to fruition in the future. Let’s take a look at how some people do not believe in it, as well as why it might just be worth it.


Gene-editing Clapway


THE EXPRESSION OF DISLIKE FOR GENE-EDITING


The dictionary has gene-editing defined as a developing technology to modify human DNA. A team at China’s Sun Yat-sen University announced that they are currently altering inheritable genes in non-viable human embryos. They say that they are the first one’s to do anything like this in history. However, some have already expressed their dislike. The biggest entity that has expressed their feelings about gene-editing at the time is The White House. They have stated that altering the human germline for clinical purposes is a line that should not be crossed at this time.


THE SURVEY BY PEW FOR GENE-EDITING


Also, Pew Surveys took a survey and asked Americans if they believed in modifying genes to improve baby’s intelligence. Pew says that 83 percent of people were against it. That means only 17 percent of Americans thought that it would be a good idea. However, they did say that 50 percent of the Americans were not against using it to prevent disease.


GENE-EDITING COULD MAKE A BABY GROW UP TO BE BILL GATES


Even though some people do not believe in gene-editing for improving intelligence, the fact that people could be made to be more intelligent is intriguing. Who knows, if this is done the children who receive it could end up being as smart as Bill Gates. The world having people more like Bill Gates would be a good thing indeed!

Zuckerberg Thanks God With $45 Billion - http://clapway.com/2015/12/02/zuckerberg-thanks-god-with-45-billion/

The chief executive of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, has officially announced, via a letter, that he and his wife are going to be donating 99% of their total Facebook shares during their lifetimes. Zuckerberg said that that amounts to $45 billion of donations. This type of unselfishness and generosity is exactly what makes this world great and it can be rest assured that it puts a huge smile on God’s face.


Zuckerberg 2


ZUCKERBERG IS A NATIONAL HERO


Zuckerberg announced in his letter some of the reasoning behind why he is deciding to donate so much of his shares. He said in his letter that he wants the children of the world today to grow up in a better world. The fact that he is willing to donate so much of his money is amazing. Zuckerberg also mentioned in his letter that he would not dispose of more than $1 billion of Facebook’s stock in a given year. This would ensure that he is not putting himself in debt with as much money as he is planning to donate. Zuckerberg is also getting some recognition from one of the most successful men in the world. Bill Gates stated that he admired the fact that Zuckerberg is already starting to give back at such a young age, being only 31 years old. Anytime you get Bill Gates to give you recognition, you have done something right.


It takes a lot of unselfishness to donate 99% of your total revenue. Now understandably, even 1% of all total shares, for a company as huge as Facebook, will be enough to live on. If 99% of Facebook’s total shares is $45 billion, then 1% would most likely suffice. However, $45 billion is an amount of money that several people could not even dream of having, so donating it all to charity is masterful. Zuckerberg should be considered a living legend after his amazing generosity.

Bill Gates has a better solution for Climate Change than UNN - http://clapway.com/2015/11/28/bill-gates-has-a-better-solution-for-climate-change-than-unn-123/

One of the richest men in the world, if not the richest, has decided to help out with the issue of climate change. Bill Gates will reportedly announce one of the biggest partnerships ever on Monday to give his assistance with the world against climate change. With as much money as Bill Gates has, to do something this helpful is really cool.

BILL GATES FOCUSING ON HELPING CLIMATE CHANGE


It has been reported that this new partnership will focus on researching and deploying brand new sources of carbon-free energy. Bill Gates has announced that he will be funding it along with several other philanthropists. On top of this, the United States and India have reportedly agreed to double their research and development for clean energy research. He has almost started a new revelation with this as everyone is seeming to join him in this quest. Bill Gates said in a 2010 TED Talk that his sole purpose is to allow humanity to reach zero global carbon emissions within the next 35 years. This goal will require a lot from everyone and Bill Gates donating a reported $2 billion will help tremendously. It is clear that he is ready to advance this project and there is probably not a man alive that has more money to spend them him.


BILL GATES IS THE MAN


For Bill Gates to accept this partnership and donate as much money as he will do is completely awesome. It is clear that his goal is to help the world become completely free of any global carbon emissions. Isn’t that what it is all about? Helping each other for the better part of the nation. He should be honored for doing this because $2 billion is a lot of money no matter who you are. Hopefully this partnership will lead the US to be able to deal with climate change better and hopefully erase all global carbon emissions, or at least most of them. Not enough can be said on how unselfish of a move this was by Bill Gates to do this and he should be honored.

Bill Gates Funded Malaria Vaccine Earns European Approval - http://clapway.com/2015/07/24/bill-gates-funded-malaria-vaccine-earns-european-approval335/

Malaria, one of the greatest threats to human life in places like Zambia, Kenya, and the broader sub-Saharan Africa, may have met its mortal match. A malaria vaccine that Bill Gates has backed whole-heartedly (which is to say, affluently) was just approved by the European Medicines Agency. It’s called Mosquirix.


FINAL TESTING GROUNDS for the malaria vaccine


The next step for this malaria vaccine is for it to be reviewed and tested by the World Health Organization. In order for Moquirix to pass, consent and support must be gained from individual countries.


aFFECTED DEMOGRAPHICS


Initially, trials completed thus far have shown the vaccine is most effective in infants and toddlers, between the ages of 5 and 17 months. This would cut the number of present malaria cases by nearly half. For babies younger than this, the malaria vaccine caused the number of cases to drop by 27%.


WHY THE CHILDREN?


Mosquirix is best suited for the youngest children for a few reasons. Firstly, their immune system is still developing, so the malaria vaccine can be made a part of the child’s immune system’s fundamental structure, instead of an added misnomer in adulthood. Secondly, since a child’s immune system is weak in this stage of their life, it is also when they are most susceptible to malaria.


HOW DOES THE VACCINE WORK?


malaria-cover-sized


Mosquirix is rather unique. Most vaccines go straight to the bloodstream, but Mosquirix, having been designed to preclude disease from a parasite, actually prevents Malaria from producing and multiplying itself in the liver, before it ever has a chance to enter the patient’s bloodstream and cause the symptomatic signs .


PRESCRIBED DOSAGE


The new vaccine is administered in four doses: the first three occur one month apart, and the final booster dose is administered one and a half years later to reinforce protection from the disease.


WHY PREVENT A DISEASE THAT’S CURABLE?


Despite this disease’s being completely preventable and perfectly treatable, Malaria has killed 584,000 people in 2013, ninety percent of which happened exclusively in sub-Saharan Africa. What’s worse, 83% killed were under the age of five.


According to the World Health Organization, Malaria is the fifth largest killer in sub-Saharan Africa.


The project responsible for bringing this vaccine into successful project, Path, is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which pumped over $200 million into the vaccine’s development and testing.


HARROWING WAIT


Unfortunately, this vaccine is not yet licensed in countries where malaria is most widespread. The World Health Organization anticipates that, until 2017, these countries will be on their own.
