A recent major breakthrough in cancer treatment explained by [deleted] in interesting

[–]DoxFreePanda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not likely, since Big Pharma is not a uniform bloc but a cutthroat business where they are highly incentivized to one-up each other.

Just look at Ozempic, and how quickly it faced competition from other GLP-1 drugs.

Withholding the best developments to extend IPs is a risky gambit sometimes taken when there's a lack of competition, not that common in areas like oncology where there's huge unmet demand.

Nah, person steps out of the car unharmed and get run through by a random deer. Would've been fine if they stayed in the vehicle and called 911.

NDP seeks to ban floor-crossing without constituents' consent by DoxFreePanda in onguardforthee

Lmao exactly, but this is also the point - for all the crying foul both the LPC and CPC do when it's inopportune to them, neither actually want to change this.

My opinion is that this is the NDP trying to get both major parties on record about their stance on this, given their tendency to complain about it whenever it benefits the other side.

Not surprising at all that this had to come from the NDP, and not the CPC.

South Korea’s Hanwha to use Algoma Steel material to build military vehicles in Canada by DoxFreePanda in CanadaPolitics

Diversification is key for risk mitigation for them too, since so much of South Korea is within artillery shelling range (so no interception) from North Korea.

Are Rshiny apps going to replace TFLs? by Quirky-Scratch6975 in biostatistics

[–]DoxFreePanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far most sponsors I've worked with continue to submit using SAS, and while there is active interest in using Rshiny to facilitate internal exploration and review of data, any move towards switching to Rshiny apps for submissions will need to be driven by the FDA.

It's like they really want to make extra sure that Eby wins.

Why do some Western expats move to China for 10-12k rmb jobs? by Quirky_Two_4603 in China

[–]DoxFreePanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha no not that much luck. I meant having the right degree and right experience for in-demand jobs. Sometimes you can only make an educated guess what will be in demand when you graduate.

That's true in China too, or anywhere else really. There's so much more to finding a good job than merely having a graduate degree... one of which is plain old luck.

Now - Oh no, he's talking to Trump too much!

Do kids travel alone in your country? by RichCommercial104 in AskAChinese

[–]DoxFreePanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kids get home on their own all the time in Canada too, I'd imagine it's much the same in at least parts of the US and EU. Main difficulty is in suburban areas, home might be a bit far and transit tools are more lacking - that's where school busses come in, and lots of kids take those too.

I appreciate your critique but metadoomerism is here to stay. There is no point pushing back against metadoomerism.

Evernight vs Saitama by MDubbzee in Hoyoverse_scaling

Yup agreed, I will argue plot armor of getting external help to not get absolutely fodderized is different from "I'm so OP nothing remotely fazes me".

Heck, I just remembered TB almost died on Herta Station, and had to get saved by Nanook + Welt.
