I also thought flights were a compelling use case until I saw that the battery life was “up to” a whopping 2 hours

For starters, one of the ones mentioned in the article…

There was blog post on HN recently about the upbringings of great scientists, physicists, polymaths, etc. They almost invariably had access to near unlimited time with high quality tutors. He cited a source that claimed modern students who had access to significant tutoring resources were very likely to be at the top of their class.

Personalized learning is highly effective. I think your idea is an exciting one indeed.

It's different for everyone, it may be that it works better for my neurochemistry that it does for yours. And for what its worth its never really helped my anxiety, only the depression. You can also try doing it in a more clinical setting with a therapist, that makes a big difference for some people. It can allow you to work on deep-seated emotional issues in a very profound way.

Five nights a week is extremely frequent, if she does not tone it down she will likely develop moderate to severe bladder problems in the future.

In my personal experience marijuana only makes depression worse. It can make it more bearable in the moment and treat minor anhedonia, but at least for me it only bolsters my unhealthy habits which in turn makes the depression worse. I don't think there's any evidence that it can lead to long term remission. It's the neuroplasticity provided by psilocybin and ketamine that really helps.

I think psilocybin is promising, but doing it when you're depressed can put you in terrifyingly bad places. I think in the long term psilocybin and ketamine will both end up being valuable tools in combating treatment resistant depression. My guess would be that psilocybin will be used more in clinical settings with a guide and ketamine will be something you can do at home and talk about with a therapist later.

How often were you taking it? I use ketamine for depression and I don't think I've experienced tolerance before. While I usually feel less depressed during the high, I don't feel the long term anti-depressant effects for 2-7 days after treatment. Once it comes, it lasts for 3-6 weeks. It makes me a completely different person. I can go from borderline suicidal to living in the moment and relishing the simplest parts of life in an unbelievably short time. I fully realize that depression is more than just neurochemistry and that its just as important to use these windows of joy to create healthy physical, mental, and social habits to prolong wellness. I'm still figuring out how I can create a long term regiment using ketamine, but for the time being it seems like using it once every month-ish is making me feel well enough and is not leading to tolerance or addiction. This is after over a decade of constant crippling depression. If I were you I would definitely not think about it as a "feel better in the moment drug", that will only lead to overuse and potential psychological addiction. I was briefly prescribed anti-anxiety medication I can tell you that having a pill that instantly stops chronic symptoms is unbelievably addictive. Ketamine is different in that the effects can last longer than the high itself when used correctly. It takes time, research, experimentation, and understanding of contemporary ketamine assisted therapy methods to really figure out what works for you. I wholly believe that this is going to replace the majority of antidepressant use in the next twenty years.

The implication is that additional perks will make other stores less likely to unionize. One store successfully unionizing is certainly enough to cause Apple to take such measures, they're likely trying to prevent a domino effect.
