Melanoma grows from incredibly fast. Like you can watch it grow fast. That type of response is pretty incredible. The details of each patient isn’t known, and obviously there is a lot of work to do. But this is an amazing result and a futur

I’m both sad and incredibly happy to read this. I lost my wife recently to a recurring metastatic melanoma. She was treated at MSK by an amazing team. It was a terrifying diagnosis and literally would have been a guaranteed death sentence i

How you can characterize this type of threat as a “James Bond” fantasy in 2025 is breathtaking. The Federal government is forensically collecting phones during routine border crossings to see if you reposted Fat JD Vance memes. That’s publi

It’s worse now because fast food isn’t fast, and you end up committed with online ordering. You need to online order or pay a big premium, then you discover the drive through line is a trip to narnia only when you arrive.

Lee was over his head. Grant saw that you have to kill everyone or kill their ability to kill, or both. Lee was looking for the illusive decisive victory to create a political end to the war. In fairness, the Confederates had an incentive t

The generals were looking for the 1914 style maneuver warfare. They didn’t understand and didn’t learn the lessons of the us civil war that the capability of production made defeat of the enemy in the field impossible. French strategy was a

A lot of criminal incompetence was erased by the ultimate victory. The insanity of the bombing campaign is one, others include the defective torpedoes that plagued the Navy for the first couple of years and killed countless sailors and airm

Unless you can sustain a fork, it is a rug pull if you’ve incorporated the software in other projects. Imagine if a non-trivial critical project like OpenSSL had this happen. Shitty behavior like this is more common with software both OSS a

I agree with you, except that you’re too positive. The United States is already a banana republic. The federal courts are a joke - the supreme court now has at least one justice whose craven corruption is notorious — openly accepting materi

My experience is pretty close to yours. I’ve gotten to know a few people via internet fora, and learn a lot. I got the opportunity to join a city commission as a direct result of participating on Nextdoor of all places. There’s also another

It’s going to ramp. I have a team where 60% of the staff (6/10) is retiring in a year. Their function is around reconciling utilization and bills from multiple related suppliers with different internal stakeholders. They do a bunch of

The parents hate homework because little Johnny has travel baseball and AAU. My son goes a fancy schmancy school. The average kid is easily working 10-11 hours a day. Football kids start their day at 5:30 AM.

That’s the polite way they state it. The under the line philosophy comes from some reading of pre-determinism. People who are guided by this see the negative fate of a child as a measure of the parent’s rejection of god’s grace. That’s why

I think it’s coming soon. The data center demand is just one aspect. In New York, a combination of half baked policy to go carbon free by 2030, and 100% EV a few years later, combined with insane political decisions (Gov Cuomo decommissioni
