DENVER (AP) — Patrick Mahomes showed up to the stadium feeling ill and out of sorts. It only got worse after kickoff.The Kansas City quarterback couldn’t shake off the effects of flu-like symptoms or shake free from a buzzing Denver defense as he turned in one of the most pedestrian performances of his career in a 24-9 loss to the Broncos on Sunday. “Worst I felt walking out of the stadium,” Mahomes said after his first loss in seven starts in Denver and the Chiefs’ first loss to the Broncos since 2015. “Obviously, it wasn’t our day.”He doesn’t have many off days, especially on the road against AFC West teams. Mahomes was 16-0 away from Arrowhead in divisional games until a bitterly cold Sunday afternoon in the Mile High City.He was a late entrant on the injury report due to being under the weather. It was nothing but downhill from there. Mahomes was out of sync (first game without a passing TD in nearly two years), off target (throwing two interceptions, los...

(CNN) — Apple celebrará su segundo evento de productos de la temporada, un mes después de presentar su nueva línea de iPhone 15.El evento, que es solo en línea, comenzará este lunes a las 8:00 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m. PT, una hora inusualmente tardía para las presentaciones de Apple. Algunos analistas afirman que la decisión de celebrar un evento nocturno puede subrayar el hecho de que probablemente este no será uno de los anuncios más importantes del año por parte de Apple.El eslogan del evento, “scary fast”, es un guiño aparente a la probable presentación de su chip de silicio de próxima generación, el M3, así como a Halloween. Se espera que la empresa presente nuevos ordenadores iMac con el nuevo y potente chipset, lo que también debería impulsar las ventas de la Mac. Las ventas de Mac han descendido este año debido a la menor demanda, el exceso de existencias y el empeoramiento del clima macroeconómico.En los últimos años, la progresión de Apple Silicon -el chip de si...

Biosimilar matters

Biosimilar competition is getting fierce. A biosimilar is a biological medicine highly similar to another already approved biological medicine, or also known as the reference medicine.​ With eight biosimilars of a blockbuster drug Humira, used to treat inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, or adalimumab biosimilars, entering the United States, we expect to see the market embrace biggest biosimilar competition. This is more evident in Europe. In the five years prior to 2022, a total of 18 molecules have direct biosimilar competition with an average of 3.8 competitors, led by adalimumab, which alone has 10 marketed biosimilar medicines authorized in Europe, according to IQVIA’s report.

Feldman: Israel-Hamas war tests left’s views on cancel culture

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 20:49:55 GMT

Most people seem to think that free speech means saying whatever you want without consequences. But that’s never been true — at least, legally speaking. The First Amendment stops the government from punishing you for your opinions. Beyond that, you’re on your own.Some institutions, like universities, promise their members they won’t be punished for free expression. But for-profit employers rarely promise to protect employees’ speech, for market-oriented reasons. Because companies care about what customers and clients think, they typically reserve the authority to make workers comply with their preferred speech policies.So-called “cancel culture” offers a clear example of how what you say can have consequences. Those canceled in recent years mostly found they had little recourse other than abjectly apologizing and hoping the cancellation would have a sell-by date. Consequences ranged from getting fired to losing work to simply being criticized — albeit brutally.As it happened, most c...
