Sure it might have an impact, but again the culpability of harm isn't on the consumer or advertiser. If people able to shop around for doctors to get any prescription then isn't that the problem, not the advertisement?…
>Eventually, doctors that resist the pressure loose in the market, because they end up less liked and more criticized. And that is about it. Sounds like the incentives for doctors are misaligned. They shouldnt be…
>If these ads didn't do much the industry wouldn't be spending billions of dollars on them. Thats speculative. Companies spend exorbitant amounts of money on things they lose money on all the time. What's not…
Consumers can directly buy alcohol and tobacco, they cannot buy prescription drugs directly. If there is a problem isn't the primary culprit the prescriber?
Why are prescription drug ads bad? Its not like consumers can prescribe or buy it for themselves. If there is a problem with overconsumption or misuse of prescription drugs isn't the blame on the medical professionals…
>Is there some good reason for this approach (need to get config updates into the wild as quickly as possible to combat zero-days or zero-hours?) or was this just a massive oversight? I'm curious of this too. Has there…
I'd guess that's part of why they get thousands of applications per role?

Here's a hypothesis: no positive number is evenly divisible by 3 trillion one. True up to 3 trillion then false at 3 trillion 1.
I don't think that necessarily is a a bad thing. Just because someone can theoretically afford a mortgage payment now its pretty difficult to predict say 5+ years out whether or not that steady job will hold, especially…
This analogy is interesting do you think there are some lawyers that consider themselves 10xlawyers haha. It make sense that a lot of it would be similar to documentation and meetings and various agile ceremonies and…
The Harry Potter game was a little bit more complicated, I think PoGo was probably the simplest, at least at launch, I'm not sure what its like now, and other than being a super well-known IP is partially why it was…
You haven't shown its extra spending with just that one stat. Does $50 USD buy you the same things in the US as $50 USD in Venezuela?
You can't judge how much of a burden healthcare costs are unless you account for how much of a person's income or some proxy of it healthcare is. Just saying that the US spends more per capita than other OECD countries…
There's a very consistent definition for what that means with plenty of papers and institutions that use use roughly the same definition. Here's one phrasing of it by the OECD[1]. Basically it's just income minus taxes,…
Let's say the US spent 2x on healthcare as some country, but had 4x the disposable income, would this still be overspending or would it be more efficient given the amount relative to income? Healthcare spending in $ per…
Every time this stat is brought up I always think it doesn't convey the full context. Even though its in terms of per capita, it's still an absolute amount, I think a better data point to illustrate if the US was…
The problem is you can't practically do that for many compounds either because of ethical reasons or because it would take far too long and would in the mean time impede progress significantly. Take plastics for…
When those materials were the standard we also didn't have a lot of the medical and technological equipment today that arguably reduced both mortality and morbidity across large swaths of a much, much larger population.…
Are those the same as ghost kitchens?
It really is not. No where in that article does it even hint at patents being a primary limiting factor for the availability of vaccines in developing countries. Of course not all companies are going to release their…

I think this is only a half-truth. There certainly are examples of academic research being translated into lucrative products by industry (there are even prominent examples in software/systems engineering) but I think…
I think the author was in a tough position to try and pursue this in the first place because, as they admit, they didn't have a direct background in the topic. That makes it difficult at the onset to look for programs…
