AWS needs to be spun. That's the largest enabler for a monopolistic company I can think of right now.

I left Android for iOS because of this type of behavior. Google is fickle with what it's policies and goals are.

Signaling within the body is a cascade-like phenomenon where every step gets progressively more enhanced. It makes more sense to target upstream events since one can use less to have a stronger response. A classic example of this is nasal s

I'm optimistic that a few things will help save us from ourselves: lab grown meat, electric cars, and solar power. My undergrad degree is in biology and it was depressing to learn how humans have eviscerated nature. I remember joking w

I'm not who subscribes to self help gurus, but this article has some parallels with Jock Willink's extreme ownership. The older I get the more I've developed an attitude of every personal outcome has been predicated on my lev

I used to use Google shopping, or whatever it was branded back then, all the time as a second opinion. But its results became convoluted and simply bad. Slowly I drifted away in an unconscious decision until I read your comment and now I re

What about Facebook ads doesn't mean that they're an adequate sample? Is there a confounding factor that you have in mind?

I'm not going to comment on that because I have a basic understanding of public health and epidemiology on the diagnostic side of things. Why do you think that this isn't a "good" random sample?

Antibody tests are not as accurate as RT-PCR, but the sensitivity that was observed here was 91% and 99% specificity when compared to confirmed COVID cases. I just want to point out that these researchers are using the corrects tests to do

Potentially, yes. But again, we need more data before we can establish lucid guidelines on this therapy. My hypothesis is that it's not going to be hydroxychloroquine that will be the miracle drug. There are better "hypothetical&q

It was observed that between 7% and 28% of hospitalized have acute myocardial injury [1-4]. When one looks at Epocrates (database for drugs which is why I'm not linking anything here) the severe adverse reactions of hydroxycholoroquine

I haven't been impressed with Masayoshi Son. Although I think that the majority of successful people put hard work into their idea, a significant reason of why they got to the level that they're at is because of luck.

I'm going to go ahead and say probably not. Viruses that originate in animals spread to humans all the time. One time I had a patient who got pneumonia from lactobacillus gasseri. Do you know where that is commonly from? The lower repr

>You're calling whats happening now, easy? I'm saying that the response to COVID-19 is easy. You know why? Because all it would have taken is surveillance and proper quarantine. I'm going to say it again: if you give me a

>Even if this isn't a bio-weapon, it actually would be pretty effective as one assuming you already had the vaccine, which no one does. Not even close, not even a little close. With proper containment COVID-19 is easily contained. T

I'm annoyed with the connection between SARS-CoV-2 and bioweapon. This is such a garbage bioweapon for two reasons: This doesn't kill military aged men and it cannot be readily shut off. American scientists have nailed down when t

I've always assumed that my chancellor/boss/attending will read every single email that I write. It changes the paradigm for how I write and I think for the better.

Of course there's always a scenario that could be malapropos; yet most of the time we're not comparing $20k to a figure that has a larger GDP than many countries. I always get a kick out of people on the internet who take what I s

I thought it was so outlandish that no one could actually believe it. Then I thought about my crazy uncle who still thinks this is a bioweapon released by the Chinese on its own citizens.

China quarantined 700 million of its citizens for fun and it still killed thousands. I'm sure that they regret the policies they implemented right now as they've finally gotten a hold of the outbreak. Edit: I was being sarcastic h
