Global, regional, and national burden of HIV/AIDS, 1990–2021, and forecasts to 2050, for 204 countries and territories: the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 by Austin, Carter

“…Additionally, we introduced two new metrics to our reporting: prevalence of unsuppressed viraemia (PUV), which represents the proportion of the population without a suppressed level of HIV (viral load <1000 copies per mL), and period lifetime probability of HIV acquisition, which quantifies the hypothetical probability of acquiring HIV for a synthetic cohort, a simulated population that is aged from birth to death through the set of age-specific incidence rates of a given time period. FindingsGlobal new HIV infections decreased by 21·9% (95% UI 13·1–28·8) between 2010 and 2021, from 2·11 million (2·02–2·25) in 2010 to 1·65 million (1·48–1·82) in 2021. …”

Can bitcoin’s volatility be tamed? by Ammous, Saifedean

“…As Bitcoin begins to attract attention as an investment asset, major questions remain about its volatility, whether that volatility can be reduced, and whether or not it could stand in the way of Bitcoin gaining a monetary role in society. This article explains Bitcoin’s volatility as a consequence of its completely inflexible and constantly decreasing supply growth, and describes why that is a design feature necessary for Bitcoin to operate successfully. …”
