It's more about how the buyers intend to use the media themselves. The Ellisons are personal friends of Trump and Netanyahu. Netanyahu has spoken repeatedly about media as a weapon, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/shorts&

I know someone who was in a similar situation at your child’s age, in the Stanford CS program. He was able to pause his studies and secure some kind of agreement he could come back when he felt ready. He worked on his issues for about 15

There’s a full-color dimming filter in Accessibility -> Zoom -> Zoom Filter -> Low Light. You can assign it to the accessibility shortcut for quick access.

Agree on both points, and quite possible the “small financial firms” thing the OP has been doing is a targetable niche.

When I was younger I tried the generalist consultant thing. Did a bunch of interesting jobs and patted myself on the back for being able to tackle so many different types of problems, stacks, stages of the business, etc. It actually was re

I forgot which numbers I saw, but yeah their overall rate is high. The problem is that so many of the remaining unvaccinated are elderly, so if they start getting sick they’ll get it bad and overload the system.

That’s not how it works. Plenty of negative stuff shared online.

That’s the question a lot of people seem to have, but think about it: they’ve already bought themselves 2 extra years of vaccine + therapeutics development, and beefing up of medical infrastructure. There’s no way they can do lockdowns for

Sounds like they’re only advocating incremental improvements to the current policy? Compare China death rates over the pandemic to basically anywhere else. If saving 5-10 million lives (estimated based on % of US population lost to Covid)

Sadly that logic doesn’t work here, though it’s tempting. There’s a portion of the population that refused vaccines, due to a combination of factors including misinformation. Omicron going wild would put millions of elderly people into th

Where is the evidence that it didn’t work?

China is on Earth, not in some other solar system. If their excess deaths per capita were a fraction of the numbers in the West, there would be no way to hide it.

I’m in Shanghai too. It’s a city of 25+ million people: there will be some bad stories. But overall it is running remarkably and the vast majority of people aren’t thinking about how oppressed they are by having to eat fish. They’re helpin

In a similar vein, there’s one called brain.fm which I’ve used for years now and it gets me in the zone every time.

My favorite talent of hers is galvanizing people so crisply into “decent” vs “self-important and looking for an easy target on the internet”.

Every interaction I’ve had with them over 15 years has been above-and-beyond helpful. It’s been so nice to see the market catch on to them.

I’ve worked primarily with Chinese for years, both inside and outside of China. They consistently poke fun at and speak thoughtfully about the government and policy. It’s possible they just had learned to avoid being baited by westerners

His alien thought experiment in the “Political Takeaway” section at the bottom is a masterpiece. If you’ve struggled to explain where science lost democracy, this must be as crisp as it’ll ever be described.

Parsons knew what he was doing, he won’t be embarrassed. It’s a Trumpian move to stir up resentment against the “liberal media” – not something meant to be evaluated critically.

The choice isn’t between perfect rationality and hypocrisy, it’s between useful norms and harmful ones. People of every intelligence level defer some decision making to the community and culture, it’s how the species moves forward without h
