General practice funding is inequitable: the Carr-Hill formula, which decides the distribution of funding, is outdated and fails to take account of socioeconomic deprivation. Our briefing, proposes replacing Carr-Hill with a modern, needs-based formula.

In any other industry this rate of failure and this kind of utter ignorance and incompetence would get you fired, but we're supposed to believe techbros are somehow better than all of us at deciding what society needs

When it first announced Moxie in April 2020, Embodied described the robot as a “safe and engaging animate companion for children designed to help promote social, emotional, and cognitive development.” It advertised play built around “best practices in child development and early childhood education”; changing weekly themes, like empathy, friendship, and respect; and activities like meditation, reading, and drawing with the bot.

But soon, none of those features will be available, making the pricey children’s toy virtually useless. According to Embodied, Moxie can’t perform core functionality with cloud connectivity. Worse, owners apparently have an uncertain and limited amount of time until the devices are bricked. Per Embodied:

We don’t know the exact date when services will cease. It is likely to happen within days. However, we are exploring options to keep Moxie operational for as long as possible, although we cannot provide any guarantees.

Abstracts authored by all-female teams are less likely to get accepted for presentation at economics conferences than those authored by all-male teams, even after adjusting for the authors’ prior track records and institutional prestige

Tweet from JohnHolbein1:

“All-female-authored papers are less likely to be accepted at economics conferences than all-male papers even when adjusting for...
1. the number of authors on a paper,
2. referees' traits,
3. subtield,
4. # of cites,
5. previous record of the authors,
6. connections between the authors of a given paper and the referees that evaluate it, AND
7. authors' institutional prestige.”

Just a reminder: All vaccines used in public health have been rigorously tested. Their benefits greatly outweigh their risks. While a few people have a medical reason for not taking vaccines, most people (and the population overall) will benefit. Doctors who claim otherwise are irresponsible.
