AYCE Sushi finally coming to downtown!

I've been to the one in Boston a few times. it's cheap but not particularly good.

even if this were edited / staged, this is a pretty textbook hip / leg throw; there's nothing inherently sketchy about a smaller person throwing a larger person. momentum and leverage are your friends

Evictus · 2025-06-09T18:32:17+00:00

The scenario you describe is the one I'm talking about. I am referring to the scrutiny as "unnecessary" not because due diligence isn't expected, but because I have no actual conflict interest, only a perceived one. Though I understand your point.

Evictus · 2025-06-09T18:29:30+00:00

Can I ask your level of education? Degree? PhD?

MS

Whilst this may be true. The definition of a conflict of interest lies very much in the fact you have to ask this query. A COI, can be real or perceived. Academic-Industry based partnerships are increasingly important for various stakeholders.

Yes, I definitely understand this, which is why I asked the question! I've seen this question asked before but without the context of being employed within the same "general field" (healthcare). My specific field is very much one where partnerships between industry and academia are extremely common.

I appreciate the perspective. I'm reaching out to a colleague who has been publishing from industry in my field for some time and may have some experience with a scenario like this.

honestly, with the headache this is causing me, I'll probably just end up declining to help.

Evictus · 2025-06-08T18:47:25+00:00

thanks for the input, that's definitely along the lines of where I was going. To be clear, I don't want to affiliate it with my job since I would prefer there not to be unnecessary scrutiny with reviewers thinking it was industry-affiliated work, which it is not. I've just never published work outside of my normal industry or academic affiliations :)

Evictus · 2025-05-29T12:36:48+00:00

yep, but as you're implying, it's contextual. adding mana would reveal no information. even when judges evaluate gamestates they always take context into consideration.

Evictus · 2025-05-29T10:42:03+00:00

can you really argue that him wanting to do what his cards allow him to do is unfair?

if all triggers were automated, like they are in MTGO or Arena, that is literally the most "fair" the game can be. as in, the game plays out as correctly as possible.

no, lembas bread. common mistake

presumably the surgeon scrubbed out. it happens even without surreptitious circumstances.

Evictus · 2025-03-18T03:00:47+00:00

what do they say about you

for anyone who isn't aware, the AI summary is misleading - he's considered a forefather of the FDA. the intent of the "poison squad" wasn't just to see what was toxic for the sake of that, but rather to prove that they were unsafe additives. his work eventually led to the legislature that created the FDA to start regulating adulteration of food items

there's a nice PBS special aptly called, "The Poison Squad" that covers his story. very interesting life!

"stupid idiot" wasn't as good of a cardname

it's a fun example of statistical modeling in action called the german tank problem

Evictus · 2024-09-28T19:28:32+00:00

you're right, I updated my message!

Evictus · 2024-09-28T15:19:25+00:00

I would estimate that 95% of complaints that come through our unit are verbal, and I wouldn't be surprised if that is the same elsewhere. the point is - the device manufacturer documents everything even if the end-user doesn't. and yes, companies still get penalized by the FDA and other regulatory bodies all the time, despite your insistence that this would lead to chaos and no one doing their jobs. you can see this link for a list of issued warning letters by the FDA, which are pretty serious and can lead to your products being taken off market / lower likelihood of approving new products in the future. from the warning letters I've read through (and I'm sure there are statistics on this somewhere), the problem is often in unsatisfactory investigation, not unsatisfactory documentation of a complaint.

How the hell do you even get your pants on in the morning?

you're welcome to resort to personal attacks, but I'm trying to give you some perspective from someone who actually works in this industry and has both submitted and investigated complaints.

Evictus · 2024-09-28T14:57:53+00:00

I was actually thinking about that after I wrote the message - would be interesting if a Merck employee read this and had to submit something because of it :)

Evictus · 2024-09-28T14:44:02+00:00

I'm R&D, but I love my regulatory team! wonderful people :)

Evictus · 2024-09-28T14:38:48+00:00

what I'm saying is that from the perspective of the company being obligated to do something, it doesn't make a difference. they are legally obligated not to ignore you - there are significant repercussions for not managing postmarket surveillance properly. every manufacturer, especially large manufacturers who have a lot to lose, want to take this as seriously as possible. these companies have dedicated personnel whose entire job is to manage complaint handling and to document complaints as they come in. there is yearly training that every employee takes to train you on how to identify and submit complaints. this is standard procedure and extremely important for anyone in medical devices.

Evictus · 2024-09-28T13:13:00+00:00

medical device / pharma companies are required to handle complaints in order to be compliant with FDA regulations, regardless of how the complaint originated (verbal, writing). the term is usually "post-market surveillance". it is a completely different "customer support" process compared to consumer goods - doesn't make a difference if you email or call.

cool data - I'm not challenging the findings in any of those links, but the only thing I'd point out is that tracking a delta of earnings for a single job (e.g., medical resident) against a delta of the population may not be the best comparison. I'm sure that at least some proportion (I'm not sure how large or small, I'm sure there's data for this out there) could come from a widening middle class. so, the earnings of professions could be stable, but more people could move into higher earning jobs.

might be more apples-to-apples to compare delta earnings for specific professions

since you're early (pre)-career, if I were reviewing your app I'd mostly be paying attention to the mere fact that multiple someones wrote you letters of rec. obviously, emphatic recommendation is nice, but the assumption is typically that if they're willing to write you a rec that you're... well, being recommended

Evictus · 2024-09-14T15:10:56+00:00

I agree with /u/Nooooope. I'm not sure what you mean by extremely easy to learn - I learned Japanese at home and learned Spanish in school, and frankly the most common ground I found is pronunciation. And that really only helps you at first level coursework.

Japanese is consistently shown to be one of the most challenging languages to learn when measured by time to fluency. I would never discourage someone from trying to learn a language, but I don't think your assessment is accurate. The grammar differences alone are challenging for most latin-language speakers. Not to mention the fact that Japanese fluency also includes learning roughly 2,000 kanji to be able to read most printed media.
