Last Notes npub1ytc2mzamfyuvqpyvfv9ffxpz46rj8qj9f7huylwe0d6sh0jr5cfsrfz7k3 Garrett Wollman For some reason, it never seems to occur to American TV announcers that they could just shut up. npub1ytc2mzamfyuvqpyvfv9ffxpz46rj8qj9f7huylwe0d6sh0jr5cfsrfz7k3 Garrett Wollman @npub18hd…kf64 To any browser vendor who makes it possible to "disable paste", you are a bad person and should feel bad. npub1ytc2mzamfyuvqpyvfv9ffxpz46rj8qj9f7huylwe0d6sh0jr5cfsrfz7k3 Garrett Wollman @npub1rv4…ft5j Why did I immediately think of a particular Windows volume license key? npub1ytc2mzamfyuvqpyvfv9ffxpz46rj8qj9f7huylwe0d6sh0jr5cfsrfz7k3 Garrett Wollman @npub104e…r4uy How does that affect the *a priori* estimated time to complete a self-test? There's no prior experience on which to base an estimate, it has to be something supplied by the manufacturer. npub1ytc2mzamfyuvqpyvfv9ffxpz46rj8qj9f7huylwe0d6sh0jr5cfsrfz7k3 Garrett Wollman Can someone explain to me why new, identical hard drives report different time-to-complete for the extended self test, varying by as much as six hours? npub1ytc2mzamfyuvqpyvfv9ffxpz46rj8qj9f7huylwe0d6sh0jr5cfsrfz7k3 Garrett Wollman In SCOTUSblog today: "The legislature ultimately chose the 2024 map, Landry and the H.B.1 challengers contended, over other proposed versions because S.B.8 achieves the legislature’s political goals – specifically, protecting the districts of Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, Majority Leader Steve Scalise, and Rep. Julia Letlow at the expense of Rep. Garret Graves, who had supported Landry’s opponent." npub1ytc2mzamfyuvqpyvfv9ffxpz46rj8qj9f7huylwe0d6sh0jr5cfsrfz7k3 Garrett Wollman @npub1e9x…tdmt @npub1vu7…nmuv @npub1psd…9sr7 "Commercialization" is the biggest cost! What comes out of academic and government research is targets and mechanisms, sometimes an actual chemical substance (or natural product). A drug manufacturer still has to optimize the chemical structure, figure out how to manufacture it in quantity, figure out the best formulation/delivery system, and take the result of that through three phases of clinical trials to prove that it's both safe and effective. npub1ytc2mzamfyuvqpyvfv9ffxpz46rj8qj9f7huylwe0d6sh0jr5cfsrfz7k3 Garrett Wollman @npub1vu7…nmuv @npub1psd…9sr7 80% of promising, well-founded, evidence-based drug candidates fail after they get to the clinic, often after setting a billion ¤cy_unit()s on fire. The windfall from 2/10 successful drugs cross-subsidizes the 8/10 failures. Find a way to fix that and you're well on your way to lower prices and lower profits. That probably involves the public assuming more of the risk of drug development. npub1ytc2mzamfyuvqpyvfv9ffxpz46rj8qj9f7huylwe0d6sh0jr5cfsrfz7k3 Garrett Wollman @npub1f2y…m58m I don't really have much experience with what my mother has been cooking since my parents moved away and I only visit them once a year at Thanksgiving. It was much easier back when they lived close by and I could visit for Sunday dinner. The ones we're really going to lose are my grandmother's; now that the family Christmas party has gone by the wayside there won't be any big gatherings that would justify making them. npub1ytc2mzamfyuvqpyvfv9ffxpz46rj8qj9f7huylwe0d6sh0jr5cfsrfz7k3 Garrett Wollman Got the latest COVID shot today, but I still only have 4G. Had to wait about 45 minutes at Walgreens; the person administering the vaccinations said that the reservation system double-books them. No confusion over paperwork and the Walgreens computer still had my insurance data even though I haven't filled prescriptions there in about a decade.
