Gan jau daži būs padzirdējuši par pasaulē vecākā divpadsmitgadīgā CEO, 32 gadus vecā Martina Škrelelel 5500% cenu paaugstināšanas izdarībām ar toksoplazmozes zālēm priekš cilvēkiem ar imūno deficītu (HIV slimnieki, vēža slimnieki un jaundzimušie).
Nedaudz nesaistīti, bet man ļoti krīt uz nerviem, ka tekstā izmanto "palielinājās par 5500%", nevis "palielinājās 55 reizes". Procenti normāli tiek izmantoti nelielām relatīvām izmaiņām. Nevajag skaitļus padarīt vēl neuztveramākus. Tikpat kaitinoši, kā dažviet atrodamie "zerolemon 11k mAh baterija".
Elektronikaa tam ir praktiski apsveerumi - lai vienmeer buutu viena meervieniiba un nejaushi nesajauktu ar 1000 lielaaku vai mazaaku pretestiibu/ietilpiibu w/e
Pārāk daudz ciparu un 3 kārtu reducēšana uz "k" burtu rada tādu pat varbūtību kaut ko sajaukt kā pāreja uz Ah, manuprāt. SI sistēma tāpēc arī ir brīnišķīga, ka tur mērījumu kārtas ir viegli atšķiramas un pāreja uz citām mērvienībām ir vienkārša. Pie tam, elektronikā plaši izmanto gan ampērus, gan miliampērus; ar vatiem, milivatiem un kilovatiem arī līdzīgs stāsts.
*khe-khemm*
Starpība ir 6 kārtas. Keramiskajiem kondensatoriem ir vēl sava notācija, ja nemaldos.

Iekopēšu te postu, kurš bija kā atbilde threadā, kur šis vīrietis tika salīdzināts ar Džonasu Salku, kurš izveidoja polio (nav ne jausmas kā latviski) vakcīnu, un dalījās ar to par brīvu.
A) It's not an AIDS medication. It is Daraprim a pill used to treat toxoplasmosis which is only a dangerous parasite in people with a weakened immune system like those who have HIV. www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-634/daraprim-oral/details (And I didn't know this but apparently the number of people who have both HIV and toxoplasmosis is incredibly low. Claimed to be only 180 per year, but I haven't done the adequate research to back up that claim.)
B) The price of the copay (The amount that the customer pays) will actually be reduced down to $1 per pill while insurance companies will cover the rest and even claimed to be free in dire situations. (Though that is to be believed with caution) www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2015-09-21/why...aprim-over-500-
C) Daraprim is already on it's way out as a useful means of treatment due to it's high number of side effects to the point that most of the time you need to take other medications along with it and missing even one day of this medication actually makes the parasite stronger and harder to kill. (See first link again)
D) Average development cost of a new drug is around 2.6 billion dollars. This is what the CEO is claiming he is attempting to do. I am cautious but willing to give the benefit of the doubt. www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonkblog/wp/2014...lop-a-new-drug/
E) In order for his business to remain competitive he has to start developing a new drug or he's going to take a loss on the acquisition of the medicine, and since he is a businessman he wouldn't go in knowing he would take a loss. The only way for this to be a profitable acquisition is if he spends the money towards development of a new drug.
F) He has stated that he will actually be lowering the cost due to public outrage, so now perhaps even lesser insurance companies like Obamacare will be able to take care of covering the cost of Daraprim.
G) Martin Shkreli is a businessman. Jonas Salk was a doctor. Martin Shkreli's job is to keep his company afloat so that this medication would continue to be produced. Jonas Salk's was to make sick people well again. While this doesn't excuse the behavior, it IS worth knowing their individual motivations and why the two aren't comparable.
