Groupon has been growing some non-deals services in the past few years, I wonder if that's what's finally paying off? My restaurant uses their POS+payments platform moderately successfully (for certain values of success, the POS w

I expect someone who'd use this kind of service on a regular basis would have TSA Precheck/CLEAR and priority boarding/!coach seats, possibly reducing a significant amount of waiting before the flight. This isn't just ab

It's difficult to challenge also because it makes it even more difficult for the people who need help, and there will always be some number of rude people that squeak by too. In the case of ESAs, every fix for this problem will be more

You should ask your doctor about Intuniv. It's a non-stimulant option only approved for ADHD in children in the US right now, but my psychiatrist has been using it off-label with adults pretty successfully. In my experience, I've

Heyas! Love the idea behind this, but a question about the product itself - Is there going to be some way to ask for and filter out information for effectiveness etc. depending on the use that you're trying to address? For example, I j

Problematic generics seem to come up often about extended release formulations when hanging around ADHD communities. Judging from this latest one I remember, it takes a big push for the FDA to start looking into it and ask questions: http:

Ugh yes. I almost always dress up from tshirts+jeans due to a myriad of reasons (for one, tshirts aren't usually designed to fit boobs on the bigger side), and I've gotten negative comments as a result. I don't dress like a g

There's pubmed search in the readcube app itself and it works fine. I don't see that as a concern. DRM is frustrating but not the big problem right now. What I have a problem with, and I think most of the comments here are along t

One missed paycheck can turn into multiple missed paychecks, which can fuck over even the people with a rainy day fund. I'm a tech gal in SF, but there was a period of ~6 months or so where I had back to back to back upper respiratory

But turning an off-label use into an on-label one to promote it has its own nasty consequences, even if the drug is proven to work for the new indication (or whatever). Consider Lucentis vs Avastin. Ophthalmologists were using Avastin off-l

Caveat to others from my personal experience: take it easy and go see a doctor if you have any problems while transitioning to standing. Standing caused nerve damage in my legs. I have the stamina to walk around all day but not to deal with

In that sense, yes. It seems to be used (and I initially read your comment in this way) in a negative/shaming manner too often, in the "you can theoretically walk so why are you using crutches" sense. There's always degr

I'm not sure I agree with calling drugs a "crutch". Nobody in their right mind would tell me that Singulair or Dulera is a crutch for my asthma. Nobody would call albuterol inhalers overprescribed or asthma overdiagnosed eith
