A new ultra-fast radiation therapy protocol may be a better way of delivering treatment. This could be great for places where access to radiation therapy is difficult, such as remote areas like eastern Oregon. There's no Spokane, as there is in eastern Washington, and Boise is not always an option.

- 80% of proposals never get funded, and this number has steadily grown over time.
- It takes roughly a year from the time the proposal is submitted to the time the funding goes out the door.
- Since ~90% of proposals are not funded in the first round, the typical timeline is actually two years or more. Then, once the proposal is funded, the work has to start more or less immediately.
- Two years is an enormous amount of time for science, and much of the proposed work will have either been done or needs to be substantially modified. ...hiring talented people for large-scale projects is hard, and having to do so quickly in response to a stochastic process is even harder.
It's amazing that science ever gets done. Maybe that's why private funding through pharmaceutical companies is often the way to go.

Great news! Backdoor Section 702 searches are unconstitutional. Interestingly, this hasn't made much of a dent in Palantir stock. Do they have a workaround already?

The best web browsers of 2025. On a Mac, I'm not surprised that Safari is the best. I still use Firefox, as the disadvantages are not that significant. Not surprised that Edge is the worst. Chrome seems to be on a downward trajectory.

Oregon apartments need electrical switchgears to connect to the grid, and they are competing with datacenters. Why aren't there enough of these things?
Sound Transit in Seattle has been having lots of breakdowns. Needed repairs are urgent, but aren't happening fast enough. Why would anyone want to ride them?
