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 / nudged, it will fire. Also, the gun can fire when dr

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 the GLP-1s used in compounding "Chinese Knock

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 unobservable. You can try to estimat

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 decision in 2017. The issue raised in the paper isn't c

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 records for the purposes of underwriting. So yes, this is a HIPA

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 intermediaries, this is straight from the HHS faq ( https:

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 software developers and the business/end-users via t

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

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 would be constant. This is not the case because of prepayments

Not defending this, but what you are doing is entering claims information exactly how a hospital / clinician would have to. A lot of this is done automatically by software now. This isn't a dark-pattern, it's just slapping a

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. Unfortunately, your world-view prevents you from seeing th

Consumers are cashflow (payment) driven. Assuming a $1500 / month payment at 1999 interest rates (8%) gets you 200K in principal. Assuming a 4% (even though it more like 3%) gets you 315K today in principal. Same payment, but instead
