While I agree with everything you just said, it seems to be true that in China you can get arrested for basically arbitrary reasons if someone doesn't like you. While it's not one man saying "I am the law", there is stil

This reads like CCP shill material and is logically absurd. If it's not OK to attack a group of innocents (the murdered Han) in retaliation for actions committed by others (the government) which they did not participate in, then why is

When I started my diet I was a very obese, 300 lbs, untrained (no lifting or running experience), 6'2" male in my early 20s. I am now 225 lbs and have put on significant muscle mass. I don't know what my BMI is, but BMI for a

You're speaking with someone who has had success. I've had success using both keto / Atkins and if it fits your macros (basically calorie counting with more tracking). I would be happy to share my experience with you / p

Calorie restriction basically categorically works. If it is not working for you, you are either not accurately measuring your intake, or you need to restrict more aggressively. It's that simple. Now, is calorie restriction the OPTIMAL

Could a similar technique be used for defense? Program hundreds of drones to track and collide with enemy drones at high speed?

Has anyone done a thoughtful comparison of PW managers? I moved on from keepass because it was a huge hassle to use, but LastPass and 1password both have some detractors as well.

Actually I find the high tier journals such as Nature do add value through editorials, keeping tabs on industry trends, and various programs. It's the low impact factor journals that are glorified FTPs that have to go.

What are you talking about? Pharma conpanies want therapies to work because billing insurance companies at scale is where the money is, not individual patients who can't pay. That requires FDA approval. Historically iirc compassionate

I totally believe right to try should be a thing. Who is the FDA or anyone else to tell dying patients that they can't put something in their body to try to save their life? The reason this is necessary is because under the previous co

In an insurance context a CMO would be someone orchestrating coverage policy rather than serving in an advisory capacity iirc. It's a different role for the title.

I love Gawande; he's an amazing author and very thoughtful, systematic physician. That being said, to my knowledge he has never actually run anything before or operated on the back end of healthcare, so it seems like sort of a strange
