I have a nice 50 (or mayr 55) HDTV. I ewas frustrated by the mandatory software updates the TV woud do randomly when I wanted to turn it on. SO, I simply unplugged it form my internet and now I have a great TV the is not collecting any data.
No "software update" in the least 5 years. Basically, it is great monitor to watch DVDs (thank you Netflix) and run an HDMI for whatever screen I device I want it to show
It is too much for us to all become data-producers every time we make a purchase.
The FDA regulates prescription drugs. Everything else ( especially in this corrupt administration) gets OKd with little analysis. Thatâ(TM)s why people are taking âoe fish oilâ supplements which have no health benefit and likely will kill a subset of people, like vitamin E was doing a few years ago.
For some reason, Apple believes that people want "a lot of iPhone for my money". Once upon a time, small was "in". Ever since the iPhone 6, I have a phone I can not use with one hand.
I skipped moving from my 7 to an 8 or a X. I will "downgrade" to an SE if it has the same nice 4 inch size and a bit more performance than the current one. My 7 will then become my camcorder ( I uses a separate device for filming and at present , it is my old 6)
Part of the importance is that they use a "small molecule inhibitor" (SMI). This class of medical tins are usually easy to manufacture and ingest. In contrast, most of the other "breakthrough"molecules ave been genetically engineered proteins which are more complex. In addition, SMI drugs can be easily modified to have better profiles.
What is there to hide, really?? 99% of people have absolutely uintetersting medical data. Moreover, 100% of drug companies already have access to your PHI / medical information because pharmacies and health insurance companies sell it.
All the EMRs are a failure for two reasons : 1. interoperability does not exist (sending a CCDA yes not work) 2. patient data is not centralized. Maybe Apple is fixing this?
"...A new study, published in Geophysical Research Letters and undertaken by the University of Florida analyzed tidal and climate data for the southeastern seaboard of the United States. They found that between the years 2011 and 2015 sea level rose more than six times faster in the southeast United States as compared to global average sea level rise...... Sea level rise in south Florida has accelerated over the past 10 years, studies show. A 2016 University of Miami study found that the average rate of sea level rise was about 3 millimeters a year before 2006, and then rose to 9 millimeters a year on average after 2006......"

FL voters already voted to pay for this clean up. The republicans (absolute majority fo both the state senate and reps and the governor) are instead (surprise, surprise) using the money for anything but.

"Two years after Florida voters overwhelmingly endorsed a trust fund expected to raise $10 billion over two decades to save the state’s stalled conservation efforts, lawmakers are again proposing spending a big chunk of it on more mundane matters like risk management insurance.
In twin bills that lawmakers will hammer out this week in Tallahassee, only a fraction of the $880 million allocated under the Amendment 1 constitutional measure is slotted for conserving new land. Instead, lawmakers divvied up the money to cover salaries —including paychecks for the entire staff of the state’s forestry service — and shifted much of the costs covered by the state’s general fund to the trust.
In addition to human resources and expenses, lawmakers also propose using $20 million to treat sewage sludge in central Florida and $25 million for a wastewater treatment plant in the Keys.
Everyone relies too much on tech. I think semaphores is no longer taught in the NAVY. Same for morse code, even though in nearly every bad-guy movie, there is a 5% chance that the hero will tap-tap-tap a message to someone
The most disgusting thing I have eaten recently is the "beyond meaty" burger at our local chain. As gross as eating raw meat and a repulsive as eating something that has been processed and reprocesses. Like eating vegan " pink slime "

".....classifying academic performance as central to a child's long term health....."
This is a great point. I strongly suspect that the above has already been demonstrated in that poor performing kids probably have poorer long-term health outcomes.
The question would need to be "is drug-enhanced academic performance at the grade school/highschool level associated with improved long-term health?"
Very interesting....
VoIP is at least as important as good roads. I can't of my medical work in Africa without a reliable inexpensive communication system. Shype is great (for now, until M$ creates a Vista version....)
Ethiopia could become (or...could have become... the regional economic power. The universities are excellent. The streets are clean. People are hard working and well organized. Even the rural peasants speak English (a legacy from Jah). However, there is holdover from the former socialist system coupled with the short-sighted vision (oh, thats quite an abuse of language) of state control that thames an essential infrastructure tool and crushes it.
For/. readers who don't understand the importance of Ethiopia, it is the country of Coffee and the 2 hour offer ritual. Hmmm I'm going to go roast some beans and popcorn...
My PhD (Molecular Bio) was 6 years post BS. I was fast (2.5 years below the median)and worked my tail off. Most of my fellow grad students, however, were hardly early risers or late night workers. Nonetheless, the analytic thinking that I received is terrific and probably a part of every PhD which should make them great employees in a variety of fields where clear, logical thinking is essential.
The job hunting problem is that there is not a concrete skill that comes with PhD training. Why not have PhD/MBA or other practical degrees? It is ironic that hands on professional schools (Law, MBA, Medical) all have dual program as a recognition of the varied career trajectories. Why not add one in for PhD?
I am a physician and I work in africa sometimes. The real treat here is potentially using optics (confocal or OCT) to produce better contrast in a small package. Processing tissue for light microscopy requires a big lab; this device uses reflectance data, not transmission, making it ideal for a hunk of flesh
