While sexual assault is serious if true, it's also the only crime that can ruin someone's life and livelihood with no evidence or actual crime taking place.

Additionally there is often large financial incentive for accusers (and their lawyers) via lawsuits and it serves as a fantastic method of hurting people politically even if they are exonerated.

Two weeks ago i was in San Francisco with a friend that works in "big tech" discussing "profit motives" in technology.

They told me that the lobby behind their company had all sorts of tricks to help government "ignore" all the clearly negative things they are doing in the name of revenue. Lobbying, anonymous stock trading "tips" (see Pelosi), influence pedding, etc..

Modern technology companies are all doing what the Tobacco companies did, only they have more plausible deniability.

Bun v1.0.0 3 years ago

As of today, what are the primary use cases for bun vs Node?

what type of project can I use Bun on without regretting it (due to unforeseen bugs, incompatibilities, etc)?

My friend Jake runs an analytics company.

He's faced enormous challenges due to Google's "privacy" policies... Google is removing nearly all access to user data, they don't even like you looking at the user agent string (which issues a warning)... not to mention its impossible to know about search traffic and even referring urls.

Meanwhile Google has access to all this data, so he tells me all this is just gaslighting so they can illicitly protect their monopoly on web data.

Let me tell you a story...

Years ago a friend of mine in SF started a review site, it gained traction by being fair and balanced. Once the website was a top 1000 site on the internet, my friend started to try and make money with advertising.

After a while, he grew dependent on a few select advertisers. Too dependent.

While he had built the business with integrity, at some point, he decided to start "helping" his advertisers get better reviews... to build goodwill and keep the checks coming.

This is fine, except it undermines the purpose of a review site. This is the time when his traffic plained out and started to decline.

I'm sure the same is happening here.

Summarized with AI:

- The study demonstrates that certain molecules can effectively 'reverse' the aging process in cells without changing their core identity.

- A system called NCC has been used as a successful indicator of biological age reversal, paving the way for broader research into rejuvenation factors.

- An important element, OSK, helps improve aging cell health, potentially leading to treatment strategies for aging-related diseases.

- Various interventions have shown to reduce signs of aging in cells by changing the way genes are expressed. Six specific treatments significantly decreased both biological and chronological age of cells.

- The study found that early stages of cellular 'reprogramming' can rejuvenate cells without making them behave like stem cells. One particular treatment, VC6TF, showed the most potent rejuvenation effects.

- Further research is required to understand how this cellular 'age reversal' works and how it compares to other similar processes, particularly one triggered by the OSK element.

- Certain compounds play a big role in the process of cellular rejuvenation by affecting the way cells express their genetic material.

- Safety tests in animals are crucial before these rejuvenation treatments can be tested in humans, especially to check for potential signs of abnormal tissue growth or cancer.

If I understand you correctly, Ive long thought about this as well!

Note you should clarify that by "slowing of light" you mean a lowering value of the absolute speed of light.

While Einstein assumed it was constant, yet said speed and time we're changing. It's actually simpler to say the opposite; speed and time change because speed of light (c) changes .

I'd add a caveat here: you guys were a Harvard founding team w prior experience and connections though...

Just like everything else, the real approach to this is nuanced. It's important to highlight that as many fundraisers are operating under misguided thinking on this topic.

Proper term is that it's a "false abstraction"...

It abstracts some work only to introduce introduce it's own API (which is ultimately more complicated, less documented, introduces limits and constraints, and comes with its own bugs and dev politics)...

But nobody asked me, keep using it
