Well products like the ones you describe do exist. But apparently you don’t know them because you listed Bloomberg as high value when it’s a pay to play publication.

Ayahuasca is really cool, but many people trying to escape addiction use it only to find it doesn’t solve their problems and as a result they experience suicidal ideation. Be careful, the anti addiction effects of the drug definitely aren’t permanent in any case.

The two talks about the Gil removal were great. Also pyscript is great though they had 3 talks for some reason and only one really explained it. I did not watch the keynotes, but I heard they were bad and not technical. The general friendliness was good, masks didn’t feel annoying to me as it was okay outside and when eating and it was easy to just go outside.

No these superspreaders know what they’re writing is lies. I don’t really understand how holding people accountable for their actions is censorship, unaccountability is just censoring the victims.

No, you can invent this idea that open access is a boogeyman, but it’s flat out corporate lies. This is free speech. I’m allowed to say I think a statement is untrustworthy.

Or you could do all those things by doing something that people pay you to stop. I think is kind of language is dangerous any American adult knows this isn’t really true because most people have choices because they have money and money gets you more money. This is free speech.

What country is this? There’s no plan in America that’s anywhere near that good, where the catch?

But private equity objectively does jack up the prices on those things. It just doesn’t own those businesses. The whole point is that it’s unsustainable to run a business that way. Look at these absurd restaurants prices, it’s private equity jacking up the prices on food and labeling it as “inflation”.
