> the possession of such devices will generally be prohibited by March next year. The police are currently conducting a free collection campaign, urging individuals to turn in coilguns at their nearest police station."
I have a hard time picturing the radiologist whose reputation and malpractice rely on catching small anomalies being comfortable using a machine predicated on inferring the image contents.
The SEC only found wrongdoing in eleven trades, whose profit netted approx $272K. They did not penalize him for trades not found in violation of the law.
The issue of which particular trades were in violation of the law doesn't appear to be that clear cut:
> Michael Lewis, writing for New York Times Magazine, acknowledges that there were victims who suffered from Lebed’s actions, yet asserts that the SEC only settled because they believed they would not be able to win in court, and that its evidence was not as strong as it had alleged
We have known about sleep deprivation causing a remission in suicidal ideation for a while - we have inferred a depression benefit as well, but it’s nice to have it quantified.
However, we also know resumption of sleep pretty quickly ends the effect. It’s not a sustainable intervention, so much as it an interesting finding for hypothesis generation.
We also see the reverse effect in mania; on balance, regular healthy sleep wins the day.
Physician here, and I cannot emphasize this enough. To the point where I actively avoid most medical/healthcare threads - it’s oppressive to contribute.
I feel the same way when threads come up where I know the area very well. The ignorance and strong opinions from people that don't know what they're talking about can be maddening.
But, the small signal to noise (maybe 1/10 or 1/20) that I often find on HN makes it worth it. I for one appreciate attempts!
Anything non tech related is a drain to read because people here fall for propaganda so easily, or just don’t have any ability to think about topics outside of tech.
Phase II is assessing side effects at various dosages, to dial in possible dose ranges. There is some measurement of clinical effect here, to assist in dialing in dosages.
Phase III is does it work / what is the effect size.
The injectable polio vaccine does not stop the transmission. It only make the virus not attack the nervous system, so you don't get paralysis. This is good, but it's impossible to erradícate polio with it.
Yes, the COVID vaccines is what i am referring to. Well, i don't remember the specifics, but i do remember after that, some other countries started slowly changing route as well.
Actually, a medicine, a vaccine causing the disease it is trying to prevent, is such a strange concept. Imagine hiring someone to keep backup of a database. After some work, installing some programs, and moving some files around, you end up some days later, with a corrupted database and no backup. That person at the start, assures and reassures that everything will go correctly, your database will be safe forever etc. How happy you would be knowing that the person most probably responsible for the corrupted disk, is the expert disk engineer?
> “I thought using these Fitbit-like devices on the neck collar was a creative way to understand resting, flying, or foraging behaviors. And when Ryan was doing all this physical work to figure out what this accelerometry data would tell us, I was very eager to see what the results were,” Ward says. “But when it was all analyzed, I was like, ‘Wow, that's not too exciting.’ Basically, when you harass, they fly a little bit more because you're scaring them, or they might be alert a little more, but it wasn't a fundamental difference.”
Well, that’s one way for a PI to publicly skewer their former grad student.
