Okay, Before today, I knew Arnold Ventures funded Vinay Prasad - but I didn't know the amount. Today I learned that: - Vinay Prasad was funded by ~$4m grants from 2017-23, and continues to be funded by AV - Marty Makary was also funded by AV - $500-$1m in grants - Tracy Beth Hoeg was supported indirectly by Arnold Ventures while working in Vinay Prasad's lab So basically Arnold Ventures was able to place ideologically aligned people at the FDA. TO BE CLEAR, I think @Arnold_Ventures does great things. I agree with its goal of lowering cost of medicines. However, I disagree with its approach. I also think sometimes, they end up funding ideologues - people who wants to "prove" their biases rather than being evidence or fact-driven.









Train your mind to think everything is happening in your favour.

The planned changes include: - Faster File Explorer launch times - Lower overall memory usage - Fewer crashes and blue screens - More reliable wake-from-sleep behavior - Ability to move the taskbar to any screen edge - Less intrusive updates with improved pause options - Reduced notification clutter and "noise" - Scaling back unnecessary Copilot integrations in apps "These improvements will start previewing for Windows Insiders in the coming weeks."



Why aren't Biotech Raiders more common? This morning $RAIN missed on their Phase 3 MANTRA trial - down 87.7% Cash on hand = $110MM Q1 2023 Current market cap $43MM Why isn't this being raided and liquidated for cash? Even if it's $90MM that's an easy 2x completion.
