In a nutshell, the defect that causes the guns to fire when holstered occurs when there is a small amount of pressure on the trigger. If the slide (top part of the gun) is wiggled …

Semaglutide / GLP-1 compounding is not limited to just Hims. Lot's of pharmacies do it. The manufacturer (Novo Nordisk) charges 5x-10x for the exact same thing. The author calls th…

No, this doesn't imply an "infinite amount of money", it's just a pricing model. You still need the parameters of the distribution (brownian motion / random walk), and these are un…

Your post is completely off-topic. The paper includes a great discussion about how the property insurance crisis in Florida dates back to Hurricane Andrew in the 90s, not a court d…

https://www.hipaajournal.com/hipaa-compliance-for-pharmacies... The police are breaking federal law and the article is wrong. This is not a gray area.

When you buy health insurance, you sign a temporary HIPAA release (limited duration) to cover the period that they are underwriting. They can only query your specific pharmacy reco…

I work in this space, and your comment is completely wrong. Data covered by HIPAA is always covered by HIPAA. A covered entity would also include a health insurer, and all payment …

I think there is an additional reason here too. Software development work is (too often) seen as heads-down, anti-social work. Large corporations often bridge communication between…

Not if you factor in risk aversion and declining utility. Most investors would happily give up some upside for downside protection. This is where option strategies are not zero sum…

Conceptually, I agree that it's cool, but oh man are there going to be some indecipherable formulas showing up in spreadsheets once the power users start using it.

So here is my super simple understanding take on the long-winded article. If the duration of treasuries, or whatever you are basing the spread on, is equal to MBSs, the spread woul…

You seem to have very strong anti-establishment opinions. There are a lot of off-patent drugs (i.e. generics) that are dirt cheap and widely prescribed. Metformin is one example. U…
