Mylan’s market cap is $19.22 billion, so a 10% stock rise increases its total value by about $2 billion. If C-suite executives as a whole held 1% of Mylan’s stock, they would have made about $20 million this afternoon.

Seems like this post could’ve mentioned that Blizzard already nerfed Anna’s ult in the PTR: https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/blog/20294485#patchnotes 

It’s exactly like TF2, but with more variety in the style of play. Support is a way bigger part of overwatch.

Consumers don’t have equal information and can’t refuse to participate, so the conditions for a functioning market do not exist in medicine. The rest of the developed world put some form of price control on pharmaceuticals a long time ago, and availability of EpiPens is not an issue in western Europe or Canada.

in my honest/humble opinion

That the Tesla didn’t change speed or direction at all and hit the middle of the semi makes it pretty clear that the truck driver is at fault here.

The “bites” in episode one are actually on Scully’s lower back (tramp stamp area), and it’s a bathrobe (not a trench coat). Mulder kneels down to get a good look at the marks and is face-to-underwear with Scully as he traces the outline of the bites with his finger. So yeah, they definitely would have boned there.

Ridiculous waste of money. In the current drought these canals wouldn’t have helped farmers south of the delta because there just wasn’t any water to send out of the Sacramento River. The major earthquake risks are (A) all canals moving water to urban Southern California cross multiple faults in the Transverse range…

Because that’s where the good engineers are (and the VC’s, Stanford, and all the other tech businesses). Most importantly, living in a newly built corporate community in rural Virginia is no exactly “fantastic living conditions”.

First sentence is not a sentence.

The condom thing though... Willingham found a bloody condom, which was hers from a previous encounter, and accused Winston of using it while raping either herself or her friend. This whole thing is a murky mess, but that bit there seems pretty bad for Willingham’s credibility. KF lost months working with lawyers.…

Once these puppies get out of testing we’ll be able to shoot a 30mm shell right through the window of an MSF hospital!

Mirrors have (or had) higher efficiency for utility-scale generation and can provide smoother output (the heated liquid holds heat for short periods of cloud cover) relative to photovoltaic. Photovoltaics have improved quite a bit since this plant was designed and all the new construction plans I’ve heard of are now…

Fun fact: the bird kills are the result of birds flying too close to the tower and getting into the area of concentrated light, then being vaporized. The biologists working at the site call them “streamers” because of the vapor trails left by the fried birds. Pretty intense! A single plant like this will do nothing…

You could save more money by commuting from Oakland.

Portland has winter, a tenth the jobs, and no beach.

One problem with this is that the pieces of your genome that are sequenced for ancestry analyses are different from those used to get forensic ID’s. ID’s are typically based on a panel of very fast-evolving microsatellites, but companies like 23andMe sequence a panel of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP’s). The…
