I've been writing an article in the past few days that explain why movement is so critical to fighting depression.
Still, this author's experience resonates with me in the sense that I get that taking drugs is a way to fix the depression problem.
When depression is that crippling and intense, it just doesn't seem like any one thing can help. Like you said, it's baby steps, and if drugs and therapy are on the menu along with exercise and nutrition, then all the better.
At some point, I'll be exploring the really hard causes of depression, those that come from society's own anguish.
In any case, being personally fit will add immeasurably to your mental fortitude, and events that would otherwise bowl you over won't.
Proposed causes of Alexander's death included alcoholic liver disease, fever, and strychnine poisoning, but little data support those versions.[15] According to the University of Maryland School of Medicine report of 1998, Alexander probably died of typhoid fever[16] (which, along with malaria, was common in ancient Babylon[17]). In the week before Alexander's death, historical accounts mention chills, sweats, exhaustion and high fever, typical symptoms of infectious diseases, including typhoid fever.
Also true, but I was saying that he probably could have performed even better through war, if he hadn't been as injured as he was at the end of his campaigns.
His decreased health at the end of his life was largely due to wounds from fighting. He probably would have been able to carry on his campaign longer, and would have made better decisions at the end of it, if his health were better.
I feel bad for this developer. He's clearly quite driven, and that might have inspired his family to reach for the same success. And wanting to help, he gave his card, and now his program has been terminated.
I'll keep using Dash, but I hope the dev will clear himself out from someone that is not helping.
Interesting. Any ideas on how the bacterial flora interacts with the sensing small intestines? Would they react as well when the sensation of sweetness goes over them?
I don't know a lot about the flora of the gut, especially the flora in the small intestine. There is a lot of really interesting research going on in that area though. I'm really interested in the relationship between diet and the flora in the gut myself.
Honestly, it hard to see why. She does have name recognition, but it's like Martin "I'll jack up the price of your drug and laugh about it"-type notoriety
I imagine it was because the technology that they were pushing didn't work. So even with Holmes out of the way and the ability to continue doing what they were doing g there was no point, it didn't work they were never going to get it work the way it was supposed to, so they pivot and keep her on as the oonly way they could potentially still make a return for investors. I imagine a lot of people have invested a lot of money and now want to get some sort of product out the door and an IPO or Military Contract to recoup some costs.
What is an investor saying if they choose to fire a CEO? Fundamentally they are saying that they misjudged the CEO... they're a poor judge of character.
* CEO gets sued: bending the rules seems to be totally ok. Just another risk factor.
* Company spending years in R&D: Science takes time.
* CEO runs out of money: There's always an element of risk. Was an interesting play but didn't pan out, NEXT!
Here's the best possible exit for a failing science based startup:
* Acquisition with large dollar value in the press release based on "reaching certain technical milestones".
But anyway... I think in Theranos' case the investors are still... invested.
There's still a lot of money coming in from China, maybe they think someone in China will buy them for a huge chunk of change regardless? (does happen, and acquisition and investment often don't reflect how good the basic technology is).
Maybe there's already a private market in Theranos shares, giving them some liquidity?
Maybe they still genuinely think it's a good idea. Honestly, neither you nor I would have invested in them. But they already DID!
Surely there are enough negatives surfacing about Holmes and Theranos in general that... while firing the CEO may admit that they had been a bad judge of character, not firing her indicates that they still are.
Maybe. Or perhaps now they're going to keep her on a very short leash. In their shoes I could see bringing in a strong executive team, people with significant health care experience, while putting her in the role of visionary founder who does a lot of PR and rah-rah but has very low operational control.
Exactly. You have an individual at the head of the corporation that has done fraud. Do you really believe that's going to change from this point? Most people would have enough sense to let shame see them out. That's even more alarming.
Tangential, but what's really bad is even Martin Shkrelli commented that the EpiPen pricing was outrageous. That's kinda like Hitler saying you're too much of a tyrant.
While true, aerospace is still probably one of the best skilled labor/manufacturing jobs available. There are quite a few regulations and certifications that need to be followed/held which makes it more difficult/costly to outsource.
In the case of SpaceX or similar companies that fall under ITAR or do classified work, meeting those security requirements is an additional hurdle to outsourcing, although automation will still have an impact.
As long as the founder(s) know what they're doing. I've seen way too many AI startups with founders who don't even have the most basic ML knowledge but are doing it because it's the trend.
Replace "ML knowledge" with "CS / SW Eng. knowledge" and I would say this has always existed in the start-up world. My personal opinion is that lack of basic technical knowledge is a major no-no unless at least one of the other co-founders is technical.
