From this, maybe it is clearer (but not shorter) to say: ‘It’s not close’ - The inclusion of "Gaza genocide" to Wikipedia's "List of genocides" ends editorial debate
Alt phrasing: Wikipedia's editorial debate ends with the inclusion of "Gaza genocide" to "List of genocides" page
(I'm trying to not repeat "Wikipedia" several times.)
Somewhat related Wikipedia article regarding parsing sentences: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden-path_sentence
Boy, was that the truth. The agency has just granted that use expansion, and it turns out that it was all due to Peter Marks, who completely overruled three review teams and two of his highest-level staffers (all of whom said that Sarepta had not proven its case)."
[The article then talks about how this may be "A positive vote, which marks an undeserved and potentially hazardous victory of emotional rhetoric and relentless patient advocacy over the scientific and medical evidence."]
This is interesting. I didn't know about the influence of the CEO and this narrative around this medications approval/label expansion.
I'm not sure why I'm mentioning this (Devil's advocacy?), some users on HN have also commented that maybe it is good that the FDA approves medications more liberally to give clinicians and patients a chance to experiment with them (if their situations are dire).
Anyways, in this case, it is interesting to think about how much influence one person can have in the FDA.
Sort of related, does anyone remember the approval of aducanumab for Alzheimer's disease? https://www.npr.org/2021/06/11/1005567149/3-experts-have-res...
And now it is discontinued: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK573062/ This isn't really a good source for the full story, sorry.
All this FDA approval business is much less cut and dry than I would have thought 10 years ago.
Feedback: Desktop with trackpad, I swiped and my pointed ended out of the grid and it doesn't let this swipe occur.
Echoing others: - "the numbers of taps and swipes were too small for me to notice, I’ve discovered them quite late" - "The scroll down section felt odd." - on desktop I couldn't figure out what "swipe" meant for a bit (just click-and-drag)
Thank you again for this gift.
I tried entering a new video but I got a Heroku application error. Maybe it's a limits thing.
When I look at the Recent videos, a lot of them are not for instructions/tutorials. Perhaps people do not understand the purpose of this project. Maybe they are just testing it out with non-tutorial content.
Maybe you could add representative videos towards the top so that people would get a better sense of the use of this project?
I don't know why this isn't more popular here. It's a good idea. (Maybe it has already been implemented elsewhere?) Reading is much faster than watching a video for many instruction-based tasks. Good luck!
From Wikipedia: "The originator of the procedure, Portuguese neurologist António Egas Moniz, shared the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine of 1949 for the "discovery of the therapeutic value of leucotomy in certain psychoses", although the awarding of the prize has been subject to controversy."
