  1. > 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."
  2. It wasn’t a simple texture swap. They added 40 new levels.

    “ ZEISS® Vario-Sonnar® T* 24–600 mm F2.4–4 large-aperture high resolution high speed zoom lens”

  4. 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.
  5. 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.

    Clearly, too long, didn’t read.

  6. 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.

  7. Physician here, and I cannot emphasize this enough. To the point where I actively avoid most medical/healthcare threads - it’s oppressive to contribute.
  8. This is incorrect.

    Phase I is “is it immediately dangerous?”

    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.

  9. In short:

    A common adverse effect from oral polio vaccine, occurring at a far lower rate in the new vaccine than in the one it replaced.

    Headline link makes it sound like -bad- news.

  10. > “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.

  11. Stephen King’s tweet on that topic, to summarize:

    “ $20 a month to keep my blue check? Fuck that, they should pay me. If that gets instituted, I’m gone like Enron.”

  12. You’re more literate than most patients. You’re right, it should list all of the above. I think your post reads (and per other poster, I’m not alone) that you had a $1300 normal outpatient visit, so I read that as you misreading your bill.
  13. When working for a hospital, it’s an admin somewhere. When in private practice, the insurer generally has geographic monopoly, so I sign off on whatever they shove in my face if I intend to accept their patients. The only time I have a real say in price is in private practice for uninsured patients, which is where I set aside a piece of my time for charity care.
  14. That’s not what the doc gets paid. That’s the pretend amount that the insurer and doc have agreed upon, before their agreed upon discount.

  15. My issue with my wife is not having 45 mins a day with her. If I had that, the note would be supernumerary.
  16. They’re addressing a real pain point that real people actually have and regularly fork out money for. The fact that they didn’t do it out of altruism means diddly squat.
  17. Scihub seems to have stopped updating. I haven’t gotten a recent article out of them in a while.
  18. Any chance whatsoever they’re going to actually reimburse doctors for their massive school loans, while forcing them (“no network restrictions”) to work for this insurance plan? Especially if it’s anything like Medicaid, and reimburses physicians and hospitals -below cost-.
  19. Obsidian needs to acquire you guys asap
  20. > Many WGU students HATE these types of articles, because they undermine the legitimacy of WGU.

    > Their model is competency-based, so you must demonstrate you posses knowledge in any given domain.

    The guy took courses at college, online, and worked in the field for over a decade before speedrunning WGU. It seems to me he’s the exact model of “demonstrating competence” that you mention - I don’t see how that makes WGU out to be a degree mill.
