Wonder where they got that definition of "invasive" because it surely wasn't in a medical textbook.

Madison thought it highly unlikely that people who held immense power would not choose to use it. The Framers' model (and fear) was Rome, and much of our Constitutional design is intended to prevent an American Caesar. (One of the reas

Most of the SF Property Mgmt companies are what Peter Thiel famously referred to as "urban slumlords".

Yes. ~5 years. Very very worth it though.

That's a fair point. I was responding to this idea of all of these being part of a single "process machine".

EMA and FDA make different tradeoffs. They’re not necessarily easier. But I agree with you in part, I wish we had more harmonization or at least regulatory overlap — approved in EU you can sell in US, and vice versa, for instance.

One counterintuitive thing to consider: poor air quality and allergies can contribute to bruxism by making it more difficult to breathe thru your nose. I fixed my allergies via immunotherapy and air quality via a filter and my bruxism dropp

There are number of conflated regulatory problems in this piece: 1) FDA needs to move its data ingestion into the 21st century (note: large industry can be as resistant to changing current process as bureaucracy). In no rational universe sh

Another dishonest false alternative from anti-growth advocates. There's an ocean of middle ground between "not a park or tree in sight" and the current state of affairs, wherein every new building is fought tooth-and-nail. An

Yes. Complaints are part of the Quality System Regulation that all device manufacturers selling in the US must abide by.

Yes but let’s assume we built free or nearly free housing. We can’t even do that in SF with any speed.

I’d settle for a lot more people saying what OP is saying. California has one of the most incompetent governments in the world but this is masked because it is home to tech and we’re in boom times. Jerry Brown’s one big accomplishment was r

Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted here because you touch on an important truth: SF is a globally important city with a massive jobs base run by people who wish it wasn’t.

California has an initiative system. If Big Tech wanted to get more housing built, it could do so, and it wouldn't require any changes in elected officials.

I disagree those two are decoupled. The DIY project has a much lower risk of getting sued, true. But lower of risk of death is highly dependent on edge cases and corner cases, and I'd challenge you to produce evidence that there is an

You can't tell corporations how to spend their money vis-a-vis political campaigning. It's a much narrower scope than what you're implying.

That is the usual refrain from the "die techie scum" SF denizens: "go back to the suburbs!" Unfortunately the suburbs are now hostile too: https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/New-Facebook-Offi

Ah, apologies to @FireBeyond if so. In the wake of Theranos I have heard serious criticism of CMS & FDA to this effect (we need more regulations because clearly they're not getting the job done.)

FDA is not omniscient. No regulator is. It’s hard to catch someone intelligent and cunning in a lie every time. The industry relies on a combination of individual integrity (i.e. not wanting to hurt people, which works fine in 80% of cases)

Holmes and Balwani still under criminal investigation per last report. We don’t know they yet if they’re going to get off scot free.

FDA may also have been tipped off by people within Walgreens’ safety division that vetoed the Theranos and were shocked when the CEO went ahead and signed the deal anyway.
