We should also not ignore the fact that USAID was responsible for many hundreds of millions (if not more) in fraudulently directed contracts and spending [1].
The problem is that the cancerous cells are themselves descended from healthy cells; other than the small differences that make them cancerous, they are in fact the same thing.
Many of the cutting edge immunotherapies for cancer essentially teach the immune system to target the cancerous cells.
However, in combination with an autoimmune disease like Chrons where the immune system has already learned to react to healthy cells, there is a much higher chance that an immunotherapy intended to target only cancerous cells also causes the immune system to target more healthy cells.
First is Hanlon’s Razor; “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity”. It appears to be especially applicable here.
Second is that this kind of information (with far richer data) is already accessible to and used by corporations at scale; think credit bureaus, background checkers, etc.
I have a bunch of related questions so I will drop them all here:
* You mentioned focusing the spectrum on humans, but I have always wanted to have light that works well for both humans and plants (e.g. houseplants) as they are also beneficial for human spaces. Why not do both?
* Exposure to near IR has significant health benefits and seems like it should be included in an ideal lighting fixture that attempts to replicate the sun:

What do you mean when you say IR can be produced in other ways more efficiently?
* How does your product compare with the Yuji Skyline?
According to one of my local pharmacies (that closed in the last year), there are laws in some states preventing brick and mortar stores from imposing additional fees over online pharmacies. Reference in a sibling comment.
> There is no law against a pharmacy owner from charging whatever they want.
On closing, one of my local pharmacies claimed otherwise and referenced the following:
> states have enacted legislation prohibiting certain PBM clients from imposing additional co-payments, deductibles, limitation on benefits, or other conditions (“Conditions”) on covered individuals utilizing a retail pharmacy when the same Conditions are not otherwise imposed on covered individuals utilizing home delivery pharmacies. However, the legislation requires the retail pharmacy to agree to the same reimbursement amounts and terms and conditions as are imposed on the home delivery pharmacies.
It’s not even legal for them to try to compete. Even if someone preferred to pay more for the convenience the brick and mortar shops aren’t allowed to charge a premium over the online pharmacies.
Yes, pricing regulations forced brick and mortar pharmacies to sell drugs below cost. Several closed in my area in the last few years and this was one of their cited reasons why.
Unless they are performing large scale sampling of the general population, the denominator (cases of confirmed influenza) is potentially much larger in practice.
Moreso because it seems likely that the confirmed cases are sampled from the sickest population seeking treatment.
And this article is further evidence of exactly this, since the "silent infections" here were previously uncounted.
Exactly the issue; inevitably someone will forget to follow those rules, at which point esoteric bugs will have been introduced.
I think it’s somewhat similar to unchecked memory access. Used correctly it works just fine and offers extremely high performance. Unfortunately, history has shown that over enough time mistakes will be made. As an industry we’re now to the point of actively denouncing entire languages over the risks of unchecked memory access.
Using software development patterns that rely on the engineers to follow a bunch of rules to do things correctly will eventually burn you. Better to avoid them entirely if at all possible.

> If you change observable state, restore it
I’m sorry but no. Humans are human and mistakes will be made. I’ve lost count of the number of esoteric bugs I’ve had to track down due to global state being changed and not put back properly.
If you have to qualify a pattern with rules that are easily forgotten or open to corner case bugs, it’s far better to just not use that pattern in the first place.
