> 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.
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.
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'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?
It's ironic to me because flashcarts are widely used to pirate console games. Someone making a tool for pirates is complaining about their IP being pirated.
Yes, I know flashcarts are also commonly used for homebrew, and I use mine exclusively for homebrew. I also understand that many of the older games have become collectors items, and wanting to play backups instead of the original is another use case. This doesn't change one of it's most common use cases, which is playing illegal roms.
I disagree. Having a reputable online handmade trinket shop was very valuable because it was the largest and had the best brand recognition. Being a Chinese factory retail outlet is less valuable because _everyone_ is a Chinese factory retail outlet.
It’s moot in practice. The people inside the house are caught off guard while the people kicking down the door are well trained, staffed, and practiced. Their zero injury success rate is impressive.
Nah. No one gives a shit about a nice suburb in Dallas. I’ve seen feds execute warrants in very nice neighborhoods. The FBI canceled because the neighborhood was a nice one in DC, where people with external influence live.
