I will not sign up for a service with a clause like this.

> But yes, ultimately the (U.S.) government is not able to tell businesses what content to moderate (or not moderate) because that would be a first amendment violation, so the only solution for people unhappy with current platforms is to migrate to new ones.

Migration is not what's best for society. The migration to silos creates thought bubbles, is a barrier to cross-pollination of ideas, and potentially creates extremist.

The ideal social network is a federated network with individuals selecting their own content filtering/moderator. It's possible for all nodes of the network to communicate, and the important responsibility of moderation is removed from the platform. Removing nodes form a network and adding them to a separate network (migration) doesn't solve anything at scale.

I concur with the core message -- that the current research on psychedelics is not strong. Some of the problem is that the research itself was not designed with an eye on earning FDA approval. This was hard to do because we'll never have a true double-blind psychedelic trial for psychedelics like we can have for SSRIs. Spravato recently showed a path for FDA approval, because ketamine treatment for depression closely mirrors protocols for psychedelics.

The US Forest Service is just wrong on this. Ergot does not contain LSD, although it contains very similar psychoactive alkaloids. Ergot cannot be called a mushroom, it is a fungus that grows on wheat, rye or other grains/grasses.

If I search for "Volvo XC 60" then there is absolutely no doubt I want to see information about that vehicle. Any information about Subaru is just irrelevant noise.

That's funny wordplay, but atmospheric carbo is clearly the intended implication.

> HPPD

I've had some experience with HPPD but luckily mine went away. My experience ranges from 'oh that is pretty cool to look at' to 'this visual distortion is hurting my ability to focus on an important conversation'. I wish we better understood HPPD.

I honestly didn't even notice the denominators were different. All of the fractions were in simplest terms, which is (imo) preferable to using a common denominator.

1. Why are wait times so long? Is there anymore we can reasonably do to reduce them?

2. How much would it impact the costs of goods to pay truckers an hourly wage during these downtimes?

Maybe we can encourage unionizing by generating a quality union management software package.

60s and 70s research does not meet modern standards. The validity of almost all medical and psychological research done in the era is very questionable. Some research done in this time was very good, but with psychedelics we are really starting back from square 1 because we've just begun researching it in earnest.

tl;dr If you're in medical or psychological fields and the only empirical evidence you have to back up a claim is from the 60s you are on shaky ground and need to collect more data.

I agree with everything you said, but would also advise caution for more experienced users as well.

Alcohol is not as effective of a treatment for depression as P. Cubensis.

I'm in this space as a hobbyist, a consumer and occasional producer (I've done some limited runs on simple projects). I'm specifically interested in jp coin-op and 16-bit home console. I see your concern.

There's always going to be the originals, which will almost definitely hold value for the lifetime of millennials at least.

This is always going to be a small market driven by passion. If you can write a PlayStation flash cart you can almost defiantly make something with a higher market value.

There is an active market for extremely high quality products in this space. Look at Analogue (analogue.co) which is building FPGA reference-quality reproductions of classic consoles (NES, SNES, GENSIS, and recently GB/GBC/GBA). These machines play original carts better than original hardware, they are widely critically acclaimed, and the company keeps outputting fantastic machines. Many speed running and other competitive organizations accept plays running on analogue hardware, but not other knock-off consoles.

Sure, the market for cheap imported goods is much larger. It's also more competitive. Do you really think Etsy is going to stand against Walmart, Amazon, etc?
