Hi /u/toufka, do you have any papers or summaries of CAR-T you'd recommend? The first-level Google results are all PR-heavy so I'm hoping you can share something more granular and explanatory.

I was about to type this depressing sequence of roadblocks myself so I thank you for already having done this. The drug development ecosystem in America makes me sad.

Is there a well-cited 1200-1800 word categorical debunking of trickle down economics somewhere on the internet? Please tell me so that I can bookmark it and paste when I see comments like this on the internet.

You're entirely correct and I apologize for not acknowledging this in my original comment.

For all the democratic aggregators, there seems to be a inflection point beyond which they stop being as useful. In their earliest days, the primary user base is made of enthusiasts. They bring opinions and experiences not available through

Yes, the more grandiose idea is to be open to shutting down unsustainable towns and suburbs. This does not mean abandoning the people who live there, but the opposite. It requires us to take seriously the people who find themselves living i

I appreciate the full throated defense of cyclists, but there are days when I max out above both 200lbs and 20mph with my bike :)

Given the entrenched nature of the American pharmaceutical industry, I'm unconvinced that any of them have actually tried to solve the problem of cheap antibody manufacturing at scale.

They have the DNA. HTC made the first Android phone (G1). They made the first 4.3" smartphone (Evo for Sprint). They made the first 4G (albeit WiMAX) phone sold in the United States (Evo again). Their newest phone the HTC U 11 is argua

The mistake is in thinking of this as an overt control instead of a system of subtle nudges. A professor known for harsh grading gets a question from his department head and next year the curve shifts a little. And that is how your undergra

While it is a complex socio-political issue, there is a valid position that China has parallel cultural norms - political structures that maintain significant control over the private sphere, a high social premium placed on order and low in

Hi, I think you could have massaged the snark in the sentence that says "Beyond software developers who have programmed in the 1970s, most people do not have experience with a true UNIX OS" but other than that I think you should w

It's not just the size of the population, but also how young financial markets are in China. For the vast majority of Chinese citizens, any kind of financial product is new or at most a generation old. They don't have 1930s collap

The bar for something that roughly has the right muscle and fat blend for you to throw on a hot fire and eat is very different from the one that has to be biocompatible with a living being. That being said, I do favor the Impossible Foods a

The Chinese mobile gaming market is one of the hottest in the world right now. Tencent (the people who make WeChat) pull in USD $1BN each quarter just from games. There was and possibly still is a lot of dumb money in that space right now.

You're absolutely correct. 1. It's unlikely that Impossible Foods will ever match the quality of a grass-fed, grain-finished 80/20 chuck + short rib blend from a purveyor like Pat LaFrieda. 2. The dish is heavily spiced and t

I'm afraid they've taken the Impossible Foods version off the menu :( They do they same pork version at both lunch and dinner now. I'll ask why they switched next time I stop by. Aside: I too live very close to Ssam Bar and w

I remember reading the original impressions of the Impossible Foods ground meat and thinking it was just media buzz. I promise you it is not. At Momofuku's Ssam Bar in the East Village of NYC, you can order an off menu item called Spic

I agree with your position. But I want to add a warning against the humanization of the brain. Many parts of it are complex in unknown ways, but some parts are truly mechanical. The parts of your central nervous system that respond to refle

My mental model for this is as follows: 1. If you are a company based in and operating as a legal entity in Country X, the laws of Country X apply to your business as a whole, including services you offer in Country Y and Country Z. 2. If y
