Really happy about this - literally just ranted to my partner this week about how we should ban antibacterial soap. It has no place outside of a hospital, and is only contributing to the problems we're facing.

That's been a question for a while, and comes up every time an anti-amyloid antibody reduces plaques but doesn't affect memory impairment. A number of people believe that we need to work on early detection and to start treatment a

It shares the same name, and some scenes are more faithful - like the squirrel room, which became a room full of geese in the original film.

Yes, these are problems that are present for some other schools, but ITT Tech is far worse. For-profit schools aren't even in the same ballpark as other types of schools, in terms of the default rate. These are businesses where the &qu

Depends a lot on the bootcamp, and how motivated the person participant is. Some of my coworkers are bootcamp graduates and all are fantastic. I met someone when I was at college who went to ITT and said that he paid $30k and learned nothin

The government is better able to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies because of its size, which is part of why medicare pays them less than even private insurance companies do. Individuals, in comparison, often don't have time to d

The article states that, at its highest, the annual expenditure was about 420M, so this is nearly a 25% cut in spending. Florida also ranks 49th in spending for mental health services [1], spending less than 1/3 annually per person tha

When mental health services are cut, the burden doesn't go away but gets picked up by police and hospitals, who aren't properly equipped to handle those challenges. The SFPD and ambulances spend massive amounts of time responding

He never does state that, he says "not saying winter is coming". I.e., regardless of what the future has in store, put yourself in a favorable position.

They expanded to several cities to satisfy investors, and they were renting space to store furniture, which ended up being far more expensive than they expected. But yeah, burning through 19M in about 14 months is nuts. They were really bet

This is almost never about proprietary information. Typically it's accessing and selling user/cc info, infecting users, or defrauding the company (rebate scams for fake items).

Appreciate the transparency, but they mention that they let people off on a "last in, first out" basis, and their flowchart seems to suggest that if they like an employee they'll move them to another role. I don't blame
