It might be just the normal process of capitalism in which you see take-over after take-over leading to ever bigger companies?

If you want to believe in divers blowing a pipeline in some 60m of water using a tiny 6-8 person sailing yacht as their home base… Not a very convincing story to me.

While I personally don’t believe in this Ukraine yacht story. It actually sailed from Germany, via Poland, if I am not mistaken. So not sure how the Swedes would have ruled this yacht hypothesis out?

I had similar experiences working in health tech. I am still shocked to have learned that it can take decades for new (proven) treatment procedures to make it into general application in healthcare.

This seems to be a rather superficial article: > When the FDA approves drugs and medical devices, it doesn’t need to keep tabs on how they evolve. The FDA clearly keeps an eye on ongoing developments. If your company produces an FDA appr

It’s regulated everywhere with sensible health regulation. If you intent to have your software to make decisions about diagnosis or treatment. You are a medical device with all that follows from that.

They do calculate a score, for use by their customers, which also includes your credit history. But if you don't have any, well.

Apparently Miele has started to have quality issues. But they still might be a good bet, if only for the fact that they are (probably?) the last family run business in the market.

2FA is usually time limited? So this seems not to be an issue?

One can easily structure an energy market to pay for redundancy. There is zero reason why we’d need crypto to fund expansion of renewable energy.

Other countries seem to be successful with this approach, so might just be Germany failing? Which would not surprise me at all.

No direct experience here, but afaik the solution is strict hygienic standards, constant testing and isolation of positive cases.

For Prostate Cancer screening, no x-rays are involved.

Thx, English is not my first language. Also I feel like it's actually getting worse, sometimes I am wondering if this is a covid side-effect thing.

Well, I interpreted your question 'How do you define "minimum safety, correctness and quality standard"?' as to be about the process, not about the outcome. I actually have not invested much thought into what the outcome

I don't think it would be the developers that would revolt. Well some would for sure, but the real opposition will come from the C-level, as this would give their employees way too much power to say no.

There's no hard facts separating a 3+3 from a 3+4, just one (or two if you're lucky) overworked pathologists and their subjective opinion on what they see on their slides.

For the very same reason, breast cancer screening is under discussion. We treat false-positives and low-risk patients that actually don't need treatment. As any treatment, at scale, invariably results in (averse) side-effects, that&#x2

Exactly, case management is the key problem here. Re-naming is just a band-aid.

Good one. The key here is how we manage the positive ones. And this is where the current system fails. We have yet to find a good way to manage them without doing unnecessary treatments causing more harm than good. But instead of fixing thi

Yes, I had a glimpse at current research, it’s being worked on, but it’s not yet there. Also sequencing is still too expensive for more general application.

There are good indicators yes. E.g. PSA (a blood value, easy to measure), if increasing very slowly over a long timeframe, is a good indicator that you may have cancer but that it is growing really slow, aka unlikely to be aggressive and to

One big problem today is, that professionals have voted to reduce screening because of the side-effects of treatment. Especially on those, non-threatening, low risk cancers, which would (likely) never have posted a risk. If removing the can

The Nazis made “great” use of the (comparatively) new technologies of their time: radio and movies. In the end technology is a tool, you can use it for either purpose: good or evil. The tool does not mind.
