Avoiding another thalidomide would be all well if weren't for the fact that for many disorders the prognosis provided by standard practice is absolutely terrible.

Avoiding another thalidomide is not the only objective in drug discovery. Arguably the pace of progress[1] in medicine has been made slower because of the extreme cost of regulation. How many thousands are dying because they will be treated

But we are talking about what it takes to get lazy Americans to bike. I am well aware of how popular biking is in Copenhagen even though they have comparatively terrible weather. Davis truly has an unusual confluence of factors that make bi

There are arguably two competing directives, one is too get the most revenue per disutility generated, in which case the flat tax is definitely not desirable. But another is fairness, it seems unfair to only make certain people suffer disut

Your logic does not justify your conclusion. Having too much of a good thing first of all brings the obvious opportunity cost. But there may be (and are) additional costs with too much infrastructure.

Tesla cars are probably the only thing you could have picked to not show that point. They can’t make cars fast enough despite charging crazy prices.

For the curious, look up the kelly criterion, it formalizes this thinking.

My guess is that as long as the orbital periods of the involved planets are sufficiently different (not being rational multiples of each other for example) , making the system ergodic . Then Mercury will always be the closest by the metric.

Arguably if people try to game the system in that way it would be socially good. Don't we want the privileged people going to the same schools as poorer people?

I interpret root cause to mean a causal variable that is not dependent on other examined causal variables. If racism can exacerbate something, it is playing a causal role. Since the racism does not depend on other mentioned variables, (raci

The evidence is the podcast/interview. It is not known the extent to which generic drugs are affected. But in almost all the Indian plans investigated there was evidence of fraud, and I believe evidence of fraud was found in 80% of Chi

It's not a technical podcast so listening at 1.5 or 2x speed can really shorten the time demand with little lost information.

I recently listened to this podcast. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21051174 It is about widespread fraud in the drug industry. During the interview it was mentioned that some people are seeing organ failure due getti

Communicating with gravity waves would be very inefficient given how weak Gravity is. I don't see any reason why you would want to use gravity for communications... but who knows.

This is so wrong. Objects can have enough energy that will become arbitrary far apart as time passes. In no sense are the objects bound together in that case.
