Trusting a professional's recommendation is not treating them as infallible, it's called "using the advice you paid for". No I don't blindly trust my mechanic, you shouldn't blindly trust anyone but generally when you seek out a professional's opinion on something it's because you value their expertise.

> You should be double-checking absolutely every single thing a doctor is telling you

Right, because the average person who knows next to nothing on mental health is going to make a better judgement call on which medication to prescribe their child than their doctor.

Guess what, if that were the case we wouldn't have a story here.

Nobody said they need to find the absolute last day the drug expires before they can get it to market.

If it's a new drug and they can only say for sure that it lasts 6 months then put that on the label and ship it out. But assuming the drug will be out for 10+ years they should be continually testing the expiration date and updating as they've had more time to make that determination.

But like I said initially (and as you nicely pointed out) that costs money so why bother?

This happened quite some time back? Forget about it man, why bring this up now?

You guys know what would be really cool? An adblock plugin that worked on page popups (not on the ads, just the shit that takes up your screen asking for your email or other random thing)

This wouldn't help you on your phone but at least if you were in front of a computer maybe it wouldn't be as bad.

Ramit is that you?

This is making me paranoid. How do I check if my website has listing enabled?

Seems simple enough, just extend the expiration dates on the meds that don't turn toxic and that still work.

The issue here though is that it's not in the drug manufacturers interest to have super long dates. Putting labels that expire sooner means they can push higher volume.

Why consult a health professional if you're not going to trust what they have to say?

When a doctor tells a parent that their two year old is suffering from bipolar disorder and the way to treat that is to take a cocktail of meds then it's not the parents fault when they follow that advice.

Thought that'd be obvious seeing as how the text I quoted and entire article is referring to psychiatric drugs.

This is the saddest part to me:

children as young as two years old are now being diagnosed with bipolar disorder and treated with a cocktail of powerful drugs, many of which were not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

Why are we giving psychiatric drugs to people whose brains aren't fully developed, especially when there is still so much we don't understand about how the brain works?

Yea, also notice how in the Glass wearing video the technician brings up the tools he needs and sets them on the floor whereas in the other video he sets each tool back and forth.

Pretty lame comparison.

The value engineering he just described. Read his comment again

I did not know they invest in Uber! That makes this even more interesting.

Why would Uber be awarded licensing terms they could "live with" for code they (allegedly) outright stole from a competitor?

Your point?
