Comment another way around internet blockage (Score 1) 123

Known VPN services have identifiable server addresses that can be blocked. Instead, you can set up a cheap raspberry pi (or other) at your home and use an encrypted SSH connection to that [raspberry pi] from far away. Then turn on your SOCKS proxy (part of WiFi Details on Macintosh) and check to see that your IP address shows to the world you access as that of your raspberry pi. I do this all the time, including right now. It also helps to watch sports events.

Comment Price v Benefit (Score 1) 20

These drugs have price tags of > $30,000 per year. Given the modest demonstrated benefit I would suggest overall health and quality of life for Alzheimer's patients and their families would be better served by offering them $30,000 worth of supportive care (ie support cost of memory care residential facilities, respite care for care givers, etc.). But then of course pharmco CEO's might have to give up one of their yachts. Imagine only having a boat only the Atlantic. Just a horror.
