s/no right/the right?


To me, it seems pretty obvious this can't work. The cancelling signal from your seat will have to be cancelled by all the other seats and vice versa, creating a feedback loop.


His trade was another pretty obvious inside trade (timed the announcement of their successful trials with the scheduled sale)


It was a sale that had been scheduled months previously, and it should by now be obvious that the trial really was successful!


I don't know about this sale in specific, but isn't it a common trick for execs to schedule sales in advance and then cancel if it turns out not to be the right time to sell?


No, the SEC also considers that illegal insider trading. They actively monitor for this "trick" and aggressively pursue an investigation if there isn't a very good reason for a scheduled trade to be cancelled.


You think it's hard to schedule a well timed press release in a way that works in well with your predetermined share sales?


So he didn't know this was the date that the trail results would be announced months previously?


This chain of thought would make sense if the press release were overly optimistic or otherwise misleading... But he didn't even sell at the peak?


Or he could've influenced the announce date to coincide with his sale.



Does it redraw the entire thing every frame? It seems to get slower the longer you draw.


1. Not a low dose (400mg/week should be enough from what I've read)

2. No mention of zinc supplements, which seems to be the key to make the Hydroxychloroquine effective


> No mention of zinc supplements, which seems to be the key to make the Hydroxychloroquine effective

Clearly not.


To my knowledge there has not yet been a trial completed with HCQ+Zinc. There are several doctors stating positive observational results with HCQ+Zinc. I’m waiting for this study to complete: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04370782

Zinc has antiviral properties. It has been shown to stop Sars Cov2 replication in-vitro. Cells limit their Zinc intake. HCQ facilitates Zinc getting into cells.


Yes, it's been amazing to me how nearly everyone with continuing interest in HCQ has emphasized Zinc as an important factor, while so many studies have ignored it: neither supplementing it nor even checking enrolled patients for zinc deficiencies (which may be especially prevalent in the aged or those with known Covid comorbidities).

So I'll see, for example, some otherwise-highly-credible UCSF researchers mention a bunch of evidence they think puts the potential of HCQ to help to rest, without any mention of Zinc considerations (even in passing, or to ridicule, or to share why they don't think the link credible). But even coincident upon the very 1st discussions of HCQ as having potential, Derek Lowe shared an anecdote about how carrying-Zinc seemed essential to Chloroquine-related-compoounds' bioactivity (https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2020/03/20/ch...).

And, in many parts of the world, HCQ – as a cheap drug that, in moderate doses with proper monitoring, is very low-risk – is already considered part of the Covid-19 "standard-of-care". So, it's given even to the 'control' arms of trials for other compounds – making both its effects, and those other compounds' effects, harder to disentangle.

All I want now is true randomized trials - and can't at least one of those monitor, or vary the supplementation of, Zinc as well?


In vitro means a petri dish. Bleach has antiviral properties in those conditions.

In vitro results are much less meaningful than in vivo results. It can be a useful early validation step, but is far from telling us anything about real world efficacy.

There's enough in vivo studies at this point that in vitro studies should no longer be part of the conversation.


A subgroup analysis by self-reported zinc usage was done in the post-exposure prophylaxis RCT . No effect.

Many sites have horribly broken/nonexistent print styling. Any tips on how to get good prints matching what you see in the browser?



Why would your collaborators have to install any software to use Jitsi? (It should work in a browser AFAIK)


> Why would your collaborators have to install any software to use Jitsi? (It should work in a browser AFAIK)

Honestly, I didn't know that there was in-browser capabilities. The last time I used jitsi was via the java desktop client, probably 3-4 years ago. It was a year or so later that I started using Zoom, so I didn't revisit jitsi.


I'm still using my 2012 macbook pro and doubt I will buy Apple's new Impossible to repair™ "Gree[nd]™" machines when it finally dies.
