Given that the raw materials are incredibly cheap compared to the resulting medications, charging often $10+ per pill for what costs a fraction of a cent with all costs included, patients ought to consider banding together and forming an employee- and customer-owned co-op generics pharmaceuticals co. that charges cost plus X%.
Except they can't manufacture drugs if someone else owns the patents. Drug prices drop significantly after generics come into play, at least for those drugs that are very easy to produce.
Yeah, but Joe Startup can address that as much as these hospitals -- and will potentially be better at it since manufacturing drugs isn't the core business of these hospitals.
That's too bad because it's my opinion, not yours. The purpose is that people in hard times need to focus on getting one's life in order before bringing anyone else into theirs, not on love as a panacea or escape because the drama and chaos will lead nowhere good. The overriding principle is no one else can save them and it's an unhealthy mindset, they must be their own "hero."
No, one gained notoriety by making incredible food. Incidentally, he was also an abusive asshole boss, but that was not how he made his fame. Eventually Gordon was so famous for his skills that people would volunteer to be abused by him on TV just to stand near his light.
The other is just a liar, blowhard, asshole. Alex Jones has never done anything else of note besides the aforementioned.
> Crossfire, Alex Jones and Gordon Ramsay need their own shouting as a service platform.
Jones already has one, but the problem is, not enough people listen to it. So he wants to get on everybody else's shouting platforms as well. He could make more shouting platforms, but... well, "a platform for Alex Jones and Alex Jones wannabes to shout at you" isn't really much of a compelling MVP.
Google may not be the best model to aid researchers, or the most useful and profitable. An AWS meets Coursera meets helpful tech and engineering consulting/support shop seems like a better, full-service model to help bio people accomplish their work while having the support of a top-notch IT/engineering organization. Professional services without the delay, cost or extractive tendencies... more like kick-ass support that gets things done right now.
Smh. Zero tolerance is zero thinking is zero humanity. Common-sense by discretion must prevail where 8+ million are locked-up, the most overcriminalized country with the most prisoner per-capita in the world, save Seychelles. As John Oliver pointed out, DA's are elected based on "tough on crime" nonsense, have all of the power to decide whom/how to prosecute and there aren't enough public defenders so the majority of people plead guilty, even if they're innocent, because they have no hope of fighting a system that is broken and doesn't provide either a speedy trial or adequate representation.
Nuance, thank you. Black & white thinking makes me suspect a person maybe either fresh off the turnip truck, tending towards dramatic narcissistic or never slept rough. The world is only easy and mertiocratic for the relatively rich.
In real life, the very poor are put-upon, berated, judged, harassed, kicked and even murdered for the crime of being poor.
Lenovo Thinkpad T series laptops are built like tanks, have proper keyboards, some have water-resistance, most have easily-removable batteries. The T480 has a 30 hour runtime with dual batteries, and starts at about $800 USD. I'd try to turn that into a hackintosh or find an A1278 because it has 2x drives (optical turns into second drive bay), works with 16 GiB of RAM and the battery isn't glued in. On the latter, I'd send it to Rossmann in NYC just to have the JTAG header removed and exposed traces sealed (Apple BOOO, poor craftsmanship)... yes, Apple sells computers with logic boards that are prone to corrosion, shorting and other damage due to substandard engineering and manufacturing.
But the Lenovo is coming from a company who has repeatedly shown that it doesn't give a shit about user privacy. Remember superfish? Or Lenovo Service Engine?
I find fasting for a week easier than for 12-16 hours.. eating makes me hungrier; whereas fasting for a few days, the extreme hunger goes away after 3-4 days.
Ironically, a friend of mine whom runs a restaurant and works long hours eats like the suggested diet unintentionally: one normal-sized meal a day in the evening because of working nonstop since 5 am.
The downside of fasting is that it stimulates the SNS and increases stress and cortisol... which may well cancel out any "good" effects.
