    It won't impact the disclosure of key business details because it doesn't reduce the level of disclosure needed in the S-1 or the 10-K.

    I'm calling BS on this one. The claimed increase in ridership is modest (18%) off a low baseline (0 service on weekends) and occurred over a long time period (pre-pandemic to today…

    The belief is that MH370 was depressurized which would have killed the passengers. A better example is Germanwings 9525 where the locked door allowed the first officer to crash the…

    Your assertion runs counter to the original article, which says that acquiring external practice groups raises prices.

    These are two distinct issues. The study you linked concerns whether the hospital is owned by a nonprofit or by a private equity group. The question in this study is whether physic…

    IPOs aren't what they once were. The burden of being a public company has increased (SOX and related public company costs are $5-10M/year), so companies are far more likely to stay…

    Checkpoint inhibitors (which are the primary driver of improved cancer treatment over the last 15 years and generate > $50B/year in sales) generally don't look very good preclinica…

    This is an oft-refuted trope that does harm to patients. Numerous randomized phase 3 studies show meaningful survival advantages for modern treatments.

    This isn’t really an issue in biotech since companies don’t have any revenue until late in their lives. Ie if I’m doing discovery work for a drug candidate today, it won’t generate…

    Does this article actually provide evidence for the headline claim?

    Forested is not wilderness. Most forests have lots of roads, power lines running through them, etc. You're just trying to redefine a defined term.

    Western European countries are around 1 per 100,000 population per year. Seattle is 15x that rate based on those statistics. Seems bad.

    The comment you're responding to is incorrect. SBV was blown up by 10 year US bonds (ironically the quintessential safe investment): https://www.npr.org/2023/03/19/1164531413/bank-…

    That’s the freedom-to-operate side. But “Patent hell” could also be the lack of clear IP that would allow a commercializer to capture a return on developing this. Not much incentiv…

    In the US, I would assume generally positive. The mountain west gets more sun than the northeast or northwest.

    Severance is the best TV show I've seen in a long time.

    This would only make sense if the cost-of-living indicators were actually driven by ecological impact. Instead they’re largely driven by preferences of local residents.
