fast-acting

So you get a time effect where more fast-acting cancers do not end up in the measurement, biasing the data.

As such, they are practically useless without at least one of power storage, fast-responding power generation, or fast-acting power usage cuts when necessary.

Even some of the most fast-acting drugs still have a ramp-up.

Few if any infections are going to be that fast-acting.

Yeah this is due to high GI, fast-acting carbs.

This created a serious problem of wanting to give myself insulin for a meal, my blood sugar only being around 90-100 mg/dL, and then being unable to decouple the fast-acting from the intermediate since it was pre-mixed.

I guess an argument could be made that fast-acting monosaccharides are more problematic for diabetics since their bodies can't deal with spikes easily, but for the rest of us there is really no (scientifically accessible) difference at all.

As a species so far, we're pretty good at responding to fast-acting risks on short timelines, but as the risks' effects become more diffuse to detect over longer timelines, our capacity to respond, especially through committee-heavy organizations, is sharply diminished.

Our limbic, fast-acting system works like this, when it spots a pattern that matches some kind of known "threat" reacts to it quickly.

Even the best, most streamlined ordering UIs are clunky and time consuming compared with "I want a cheese pizza from Johnnie's" I think what you, and the parent article, are responding to is that it's really hard to actually have an always on-call, fast-acting butler at your service.

Fast-acting power line protectors exist though, and are cheap and ubiquitous.
