@kanzurewhat?11:12

eudoxiai think that's a new record13:47
@kanzurewtf why are you reading that13:48
@kanzurealso did you check out the mocking branch in nanoengineer?13:48
eudoxiasometimes my blood pressure gets too low13:48

@kanzureeudoxia: it disables all of the graphics libraries and makes nanoengineer run on modern linux with python2.613:55
eudoxiawhat do you mean 'disables the graphics libraries'?13:55
@kanzurehttps://github.com/kanzure/nanoengineer/commit/697d64c22b457b8470608c7de8d5540785a81c8513:56
eudoxiakanzure it looks like it couples some of the OpenGL with a python testing library?13:59
@kanzurecorrect. this way the gui stuff doesn't get in my way.13:59
@kanzuredon't pull that branch because it's craptastic. i might make it a mode or something before i start moving things into separable modules.14:00

@kanzurere: pharma costs22:48
@kanzure"it's closer to $1 billion on average."22:48
@kanzure"In the March 2003 edition of the Journal of Health Economics, a trio of economists from the United States wrote about a number. Soon after, that number began popping up all over the place — in newspapers and political speeches, on television and the Internet."22:48
@kanzure"But the figure, despite reaching near-canonical status, drew criticism. Some said it was inflated. Less diplomatic detractors said it was a 9-digit fairy tale."22:48
yashgarothoh, per drug? yeah22:48
@kanzure"That number was 802,000,000. It was, according to the 2003 study, the number of US dollars that pharmaceutical companies spent, on average, to bring a new drug to market (J Health Econ 2003;22[2]:151-85)."22:48
@kanzure"Now there are new numbers. Some health economists peg the current cost of drug development at US$1.3 billion, others at US$1.7 billion.22:49
@kanzure"... the data used to come up with the original number came from an industry financed source and was not made public."22:49
@kanzure"When I was working at a big pharma company, I heard about a new manufacturing site they had built in anticipation of a really big drug being approved. The cost? Several hundred million dollars."22:50
@kanzure"What happen when the drug got rejected by the FDA? The manufacturing site was written off (couldn't really be used to make anything else)."22:50
@kanzureuh.. someone needs to go hijack those phantom pharma factories.22:50

yashgarothwell I'm only gonna read that last article cuz it's late, but they don't seem to consider the cost of the ~90% of drugs that fail in clinical trials22:55
@kanzurewell, let's consider commando pharma22:56
@kanzureguerrilla pharma22:56
@kanzureso let's say we ignore the FDA, and uh, ignore phases 3 and 4?22:56
@kanzureand possibly ignoring phase 222:57
@kanzureand let's also say that you don't include all your failed terrible decisions in the price of it22:57
yashgaroth10 mil, maybe 5, which I base on very little22:58
yashgaroththat also depends on a how much basic research has been done on the target22:59
yashgarothI can neither confirm nor deny that a phase 1 trial's worth of drug will cost approximately 1 mil to produce at GMP specifications, and 5 mil for a phase 223:00
yashgarothand that GMP costs about 5-10x more than quasi-GMP production, ignoring the large equipment capital23:02
yashgarothby 'quasi' I mean 99% safe, rather than 99.9%23:03
yashgarothfor true underground pharma, or whatever we're calling it, I suppose you could look at certain large asian countries that don't respect foreign patents23:04
yashgarothfor a more accurate portrayal of cost, anyway23:04
yashgarothnot that they do much reliable basic research there, no offense to said countries23:05
