I’m developing a software solution that integrates w/ Zotero (sortcite.com). Their API is very easy to work with. Some of their competitors (Endnote) don’t even have an API.

Actually, Nevermind: Essays by Taylor Tomlinson

This article so very poorly written, to the point that I wonder whether this is real or just AI generated. One whole sentence in the 2nd paragraph is repeated nearly verbatim in the 3rd. In addition, I can't find the author elsewhere online. There is an Elizabeth Martin who comes up as a writer, but she is a script-writer. I am not sure that this is a real story. Is anyone else skeptical about the validity of this article?

This assertion seems light on sources. What evidence do you have to support your claims?

It seems prudent to me to not assume anything either way until you have more information

Wanted to point to the startup the author seems to be running, which is to sell insurance somehow tied to Bitcoin: https://meanwhile.bm/
For the record, that strikes me as seriously improper. Life insurance is a heavily regulated offering intended to provide security to families. It is the opposite of bitcoin, which is a highly speculative investment asset. Those two things should not be mixed.
Also, the fact that the disclosure seems to limit sales to being only occurring in Bermuda seems intentional. I suspect that this product would be highly illegal in most if not all US states, so they must offer this only for sale in Bermuda to avoid that issue.

> Take whatever job you can now while continuing to look for your next role.
This. And by any job I mean any job. McDonalds, book store, what have you. A good friend of mine dropped out of Harvard sophomore year. She found work at the COOP, then CVS, etc. It was definitely better than going back to an unstable and abusive environment while continuing to job hunt.

In THEORY yes, but in practice, there are not a ton of journals I think that will actually publish well done research that does not come to some interesting conclusion and find some p<.05. So....

Yeah but without a hardline how would you decide what to publish?
