~~Nobody was saying it would be. The headline and article are about production costs at different scales, not prices for anyone buying it after that.~~

Hill had calculated a generic price of $40 annually last year, but said the interest from generic manufacturers had warranted new analysis. This showed lenacapavir could be mass produced for $35 to $46 a year, if there was annual demand for 2m doses, falling to $25 at scaled up production of 5m to 10m doses each year.

Oh wait, I missed a line where the article actually suggests this...

Dr Hill’s research indicates that this gamechanging innovation could – within a year of launch – be produced and sold for just $25 per person per year.

But you're right, they won't sell it for $0 of profit. It would be nice.

For sure. But at least those images aren't kept in a secret location where users can't see or delete them. Even if Recall makes this harder, there's a meaningful difference here.

That said, neither one is doing you any privacy favors...

Too bad. You'd think humor like that would have wings.

The browser has Adblock Plus built in (which is admittedly not perfect), and I see SponsorBlock listed. But yeah, no uBlock (yet?).

I know this isn't critical to your point (which is a good one), but since tetanus is deadly, I feel obligated to mention that tetanus and rust are unrelated: https://www.discovery.com/science/Tetanus-From-Rust. Make sure your vaccination is up to date even if you aren't dealing with rusty metal.

They did not limit themselves to one monkey. From the article:

As well as a single monkey, they also did the calculations using the current global population of around 200,000 chimpanzees.

That explains Drain, OR. I always wondered what the actual drain looked like!

Also, it's "Dragostea Din Tei" by O-Zone and you better not erase it.

At my partner's house, there are two cats: Mr. And Mrs. Rizzler. The teenagers in the house started calling them that and everyone went with it. Before then, the term was used basically every single time I saw any of them. It seems to most often be used as nonsense or just a word to shout at each other while trying to be annoying, but sometimes in the actual context of charisma (for example, a charismatic classmate was described as a "rizzler").

So yeah, it's a thing in some circles, but I'm hopeful this is an isolated incident.
