The United States spends more on HIV research than it does on Alzheimer's. Federal law protects PrEP coverage. It is easily the single biggest QALY/$ outlier in US health-related spending. You cannot look at HIV in the United States today and say liberals want people to quietly die of AIDS.

I work in manufacturing. I know everyone loves to complain thst βthey donβt make them like they used toβ but in most cases things are made both better and cheaper, as well as much more safely for the people building them.
Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But whatβs something that youβve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

I had to read the sentence "Astonishingly, the private keys were 4, 56, 66, 115, 155, 156, 230, 237" several times, because despite knowing @dangoodin.bsky.social superior attention to detail, my brain was *certain* that could not be correct.
Security personnel around the world are on high alert following the discovery of eight TLS certificates with private keys so weak they could allow anyone to mint trusted browser and app credentials for any site on the Internet. arstechnica.com/security/202...

Dear peace negotiators, My home is not a bargaining chip. My childhood memories are not a diplomatic concession. And my country is not something you can divide over dinner.

βCould you see if my home is still standing?β For @newlinesmag.bsky.social, I write about how satellite imagery became one of the only ways Palestinians could see what remained of home. I spoke to four, two from Rafah, about what these images show and leave out.

While writing this piece and speaking with the Palestinians in it, I struggled, as I think we collectively, as humanity, do, to grasp the gravity of destruction. What it means for an entire city to be destroyed, and for people to lose their homes and the lives they built there.

this is, genuinely, extremely normal for rapidly growing companies. if your revenue is growing very quickly, then you can pay off any debt you take on today in a pretty short time frame. reminded of cory doctorow claiming uber wasn't and would never be profitable right as it became a money printer

I don't think this is right - see example here: www.eschatonblog.com/2008/05/pelo...
you have to give voters a fucking choice and you have to explain to them why your way works. its just politics
I know there are a million problems / downsides with this compared to typical aviation, but if you don't think it's super cool, you're just a liar. And materials will only get lighter, batteries will only get denser, etc.
The worldβs largest battery-electric aircraft flew for the first time on the 12th of August, a 27-minute test flight over upstate New York that cost about five dollars in electricity. Heart Aerospaceβs 30-seat prototype is a big step toward a commercial version. buff.ly/i3f0PhR #ShareGoodNewsToo
