When, in many areas, 90% of ICU resources are devoted to unvaxed COVID cases, most of the problem is the unvaxed. Should we build entire hospitals solely for the unvaxed now? When measuring negligence based on attempted mitigations taken to

No, it was the CFO explicitly calling out that they can't do something and then doing it anyways to deceive shareholders about quarterly costs. That should be obvious. Just because Enron had massive fraud doesn't make $3.3 million

You just seem to want to try to come up with a bunch of excuses to downplay or redirect attention away from nVidias culpability in what they did. It was not the SEC's fault they had insider traders and their CFO knowingly and deceptive

There's still more than "a few" people dying "from time to time", so even by your metric, it is not over, or anywhere near over.

The SEC didn't compare nVidia to Enron, the media did. That was because nVidia was the best performing S&P 500 stock for 2001, a title it took over from Enron. The unwinding of Enron's massive accounting scandal was still hot

They literally have you go through "Worry Less, Live More: The Mindful Way Through Anxiety Workbook", so it's at least building off of it in some way. Mindfulness with a pain-oriented focus is not new. Looking at their patien

That sounds a lot like a diagnosis of last resort. Especially if the best tool available for measuring stress is a yes/no question to the patient and a 5-question anxiety questionnaire. Hardly definitive evidence of stress/psychos

Sample size of 35 and mindfulness is not novel or new. It probably does help some people. However, a huge grain of salt should be taken with any diagnosis illness/disease being due to stress or psychosomatic. Some doctors immediately j

I have. I've skimmed through the PDF, and it seems he wants to highlight the "ineffectiveness" of cloth masks, and downplay benefit from other types. It is also odd to put "cloth masks" in the title, if that is not

His review is targeting the weakest mask type while cherry picking and downplaying even from studies showing benefits of masking, such as the Bangladesh study others have cited, to paint the picture he wants to paint.

Vinay Prasad seems to be a contrarian who recently compared the US COVID-19 policies to Hitler's Germany[1]. In the article you linked, he's citing his own study on cloth masks. Most would agree that cloth masks are the least effe

Do you reserve the restaurant exclusively for yourself? No. So this scenario is not really similar at all to skipping the line at a restaurant just because you visit often and tip well(which means you are paying a premium here). It's t

I think that restaurant analogy is pretty bad. Driving customers to a competitor is a risk you take when locking them out of your restaurant, and those customers could also be lucrative VIP customers as well, not just schleps from the stree

I don't think they would only need to pay slightly more. It is a bad move to be entirely dependent on a single customer to the detriment of your other customer relations. To gain exclusivity there would likely need to be a significant

In a system where you need money to survive, you inherently gain more power and more control with the more money you have. Maybe these people have more "social capital" than you, but that doesn't go far if you can't surv
