Some labs do but that is a bunch of extra labor that they need to manage. Sometimes some labs do more sequencing than others and they might have more researchers to do the regular sequencing. Many labs are smaller and can't afford to hire so many people or buy so much tertiary equipment. Grad students are already overloaded so they probably don't sequence unless its directly a part of their project


MDMA generally wouldn't cause the brain zaps after normal use (one 120-180mg dose), its usually high doses or abuse over multiple days that causes the changes necessary to feel these symptoms


>The majority of people who are accessing this drug have endocrine systems that work just fine, but problems with controlling themselves around food

Quite frankly this is an incredibly absurd statement. Do you realize that our brains entirely control our behavior? An issue with self control is a brain issue, and very well may be an endocrine issue. Are you an endocrinologist?


Money and greed naturally get in the way. Is that not obvious? People are finding any way to game the system just to get more money

You're thinking of using money as a measure but everyone else is using it as a target...


No, greed (or wanting money) is one of the reasons some people with brains get paid better. if they can think of things or ways of doing things that save money or create value, or both, then they will get paid lots. They could still agree with their employer that they get paid the equivalent of a postgrad stipend, but they probably don't. You don't need to game a system for that to happen.


So why does a PhD university professor make less than a wall st trader frat bro


The answer is a wealth tax. The inequality grows leading into a need for investments like these. If all other assets weren't so inflated then we could at least wish PE wouldn't need to do things like this but this is what will happen. Excess capital keeps buying up assets lower classes need due to lack of options otherwise.


I'm still an advocate of the old-school top income tax bracket of 85-100% i.e. a maximum income. A general wealth tax always seems like double-dipping; today I take $1 out of your $10, and a year from now I take 90¢ from your remaining $9. It's more of a motivation for one to continue accumulating (a floor, even) just to tread water.

Property taxes are different, because more services get provided to people with more property. Income taxes are fine because we take it as a given that the state has the ability to regulate every aspect of domestic financial transactions and financial lives, at least in our currency (even if we don't or shouldn't, we of course can.)

A yearly individual income cap means at the least people would have to put money in more hands. Being corrupt on a large scale would hopefully require a larger conspiracy.

I'm fine with arbitrary wealth taxes and taxes on capital, with arbitrary justifications, so I'm probably not saying much here; but I'm not in support of a revolving wealth tax.


This is because its the profit focus of capitalism that is exactly the problem

Its a disconnect powered by propaganda of the definition of "success"


I think the people getting salaries are doing just fine


Then you get loopholes being abused


And conveniently, court cases that will inevitably be appealed to a supreme court.

The ambiguity, of course shifts the power to the courts to resolve.


From what I'm aware they can get the key by physically milling a chip on the board to get access to memory, but they take evey opportunity to complain so that companies might be forced to install backdoors


Right aft3r crowdstrike showed the world the results of a hollowed out security. The true hostile actors were the paranoid inside the house.


Both of these comments show the incredibly sad state of affairs when it comes to law enforcement worldwide


Worldwide, or America?
