As someone with a light background in social psychology, I have to say that nothing presented here falls into line with anything I have ever studied or learned. I would love for the author to provide references or links to any studies or any proper research that corroborates the claims.

Note that holding one of several financial licenses, such as a series 7 license, makes one eligible to be considered an accredited investor. Net worth / income is not the only path to attaining this status.

I am curious as to how this works for filetypes other than text files- what are the contents of each node in the tree for, say, a PNG file?

I’ve heard about the bowl-less design pattern a few weeks ago, excited to hear that it pans out in real world scenarios!

Parent is joking with the meme of “but I could build this produc myself with open source libraries!”

Spot on. In theory, it is a fantastic idea to send mental health professionals, without any guns or self defense tools, or any bodyguards (police) to an ambiguous high-intensity crisis situation that seems like it involves psychological distress. In reality, when those professionals come face-to-face with, for example, someone high off of bath salts or PCP, they might have to abandon the scene due to the imminent threat to their lives, which then results in both the drug user and random passerby being placed into harms way due to the government not sending a full complement of healthcare + police professionals to the scene.

I disagree. All problems you mentioned are fundamentally hard. It is unfair to say that a logistical challenge is easier simply because it involves refrigeration at scale as opposed to research, weapons development, or computing at scale.

I agree. I think sometimes it is hard to fully understand how complicated logistics can be. I mean that’s why people study logistics in school and companies pay money for professionals well versed in logistics.

I feel like this is unnecessarily condescending towards the parent comment. There have been at least a few cases in US history of medications / vaccines having some amount of long term side effects that were not known until a few years had elapsed.

Random sample != representative sample

I wasn’t aware of this. Looked it up and this in fact true. I imagine people from other countries are in fact weary of the US vaccine for this or similar reasons
