Well they were still sending nontrivial amounts of ships that merely weren't full, so I'm not sure it was really any better.

It is interesting seeing Trump potentially getting the GOP to reverse their stance on negotiated drug prices as well as govt influence in setting prices. Those two planks have been waved around for decades and as recently as Biden's admin. I'm not sure what mechanism they'll try to use but 'medicare for all' embraced by MAGA would be hilarious in its own way.

Didn't Framework and others have to do the same with the tariffs making low margin models untenable?

Yes we could properly gatekeep it if we create an administrative apparatus full of govt employees that check paperwork submitted by new staff the school would have to bring on to submit it. That'll be efficient.

Depends how it works, if it is "just" higher enzymatic activity it might just take more energy e.g. food and a minor increase in some proteins secreted in urine. .

That's interesting, a lot of other mammals are crepsecular with two active periods per day with a napping siesta in the middle. We may well be wired a bit more for that.

You're not wrong but understanding the mechanisms better still can yield potential targets for people that might have legitimate medical problems. E.g. off the top of my head, if a person with chronic pain is unable to get quality sleep to the level they need, then understanding these processes could provide a drug to make sure what sleep they do manage to get is more productive for them. Of course, you're correct that the more lucrative market may be silicon valley CEO chowderheads that want to sleep less so they can scroll social media.

It's that Prosperity Gospel stuff: the successful are so because God has blessed them, so if they're amoral shitheels who will grind the poor to dust then, well, that's just God's will. With the Calvinism sprinkled in so there's no salvation by works then it suits them fine.

No, but they geared up for this marketing push long enough ago that inertia is carrying it forward even though use cases are flat. But who knows maybe they'll hit their sales figures as folks snap up what microelectronics they can find before tariffs empty the shelves.

They take whatever veterinary medicine is being hawked by some influencer fraud on YouTube or Twitter, from the looks of it. You can't trust Big Pharma, they made lots of money selling those drugs that were approved as safe and efficacious by the FDA!

For now there's still hope that the Trump admin is too stupid to succeed and this chaos is their high water mark that will roll back. But I'm certainly not the only scientist that has been keeping notes about what European employers sponsor visas for biotech and so on. The hard part would be that the 'nice' places to live in the EU are the same as the US with rising housing costs, varying sentiments about immigrants, and that while pledges like this 600M are great, they're not really a large amount of money compared to what various American universities have had to spend. Existing spending frameworks won't peter out for another year, at which time we'll see how things land for the rest of the scientific community.

Grants were being reviewed under extra scrutiny just for describing the ratios in the lab animals because it tends to use terminology like "female" and "reproductive age" and get flagged by the 1984esque anti-DEI purge.

No, plenty of vaccines cause you to develop antibodies against bacterial toxins, for example. They can't hit your binding sites if they're bound with antibodies.

It is the kind of thing that works in an enterprise where there is some person some place that can authenticate you and reset your account, but a home user is probably doomed if they break their laptop and phone at the same time (or their bag with each gets swiped)

As far as autism rates, with better diagnostics we're at the linear portion of the same sort of curve seen in left handedness when it stopped being discouraged in school: https://www.reddit.com/r/datai...
