@garrytan It's super cheap for a YC partner to write a small check and bet on your life. How much is each of your minutes actually worth? They get 80+ hours/week of your grinding, multiplied across years and multiple batches, for that one bet. Now the AI cos get it also. Double rainbow 🌈

@garrytan Bullshit jobs suck, but replacing them with bullshit forced entrepreneurship is a huge downgrade. The view from YC's filtered winners' circle misses the human cost of gross coerced volatility. Progress shouldn't require everyone to play this game.

@jasonfried Extremely well said @jasonfried. Many founders/entrepreneurs don't realize just how much they're risking for the job they created as compared to others on the cap table with orders upon orders of magnitude more diversified risk.

@parismartineau @ConsumerReports Microgreens have hundreds of times less heavy metal than mature plants - plus uniquely high nutrient density. That’s why we built our company around them, and why @LakeForestFarms can post real test data instead of “below detection limit.

@ValerieAnne1970 Spreading these false claims discourages potentially beneficial treatments and promotes dangerous misinformation. Medical decisions should always be guided by rigorously tested scientific evidence and professional healthcare advice.

[Elliot Hirsch @ElliotHirsch]

@ValerieAnne1970 1. Misrepresentation of Ebola Trials: Remdesivir had lower effectiveness for Ebola specifically, as compared to other treatments, not because it caused harm or death. The trial was halted because other tx showed better outcomes, not due to toxicity from Remdesivir.

[Elliot Hirsch @ElliotHirsch]

@ValerieAnne1970 8. Remdesivir has been proven dramatically effective in reducing the rate of hospitalization and death from COVID-19 if taken within the first 5 to 7 days of symptom onset, with effectiveness on par with Paxilovid. This is especially important for those who cannot take Paxlovid.

[Elliot Hirsch @ElliotHirsch]

@ValerieAnne1970 7. Misuse of RFK Jr. Quote: RFK Jr. has a known history of promoting debunked theories about vaccines and medical treatments. His claims about Remdesivir are not supported by peer-reviewed research or legitimate medical evidence.

[Elliot Hirsch @ElliotHirsch]

@ValerieAnne1970 6. Hospital Financial Incentives: Allegations of hospitals being financially incentivized to use Remdesivir are unfounded. Hospitals received additional Medicare reimbursements for COVID-19 cases broadly due to increased care costs, not as a "bonus" for specific medications.

[Elliot Hirsch @ElliotHirsch]

@ValerieAnne1970 5. Claims of Organ Failure: Remdesivir can have side effects which are closely monitored. Severe side effects occur rarely and are similar to other antiviral treatments. There is no credible scientific evidence supporting widespread claims of Remdesivir-induced deaths.

[Elliot Hirsch @ElliotHirsch]

@ValerieAnne1970 4. Remdesivir and COVID-19: Clinical trials, including double-blind randomized studies, found Remdesivir to modestly reduce recovery time and severity of COVID-19 symptoms in hospitalized patients. It remains FDA-approved based on extensive scientific evidence.

[Elliot Hirsch @ElliotHirsch]

@ValerieAnne1970 3. WHO Guidance Context: The WHO recommendation against Remdesivir in November 2020 was based on cost-effectiveness and limited evidence of substantial benefit—not due to harm or organ failure concerns. WHO never classified Remdesivir as deadly or harmful.

[Elliot Hirsch @ElliotHirsch]

@ValerieAnne1970 2. Incorrect Mortality Figures: 53% mortality rate attributed to Remdesivir in Ebola trials is misleading. In reality, this rate reflected the severe nature of Ebola itself, not Remdesivir’s toxicity. Mortality was lower with other more effective treatments for Ebola.

@elonmusk Bro!

@SecRubio You haven’t just revoked visas, @SecRubio—you’ve revoked any pretense of moral leadership. You’ve revoked your conscience, your humanity, and every shred of integrity you once pretended to have. This is cowardice dressed up as policy. History won’t forget what you have become.

@jasonfried My brother did this. His teeth were visually straight but he wound up with a horrible case of "malocclusion" - where the top and bottom teeth do not mesh properly together. He wound up needing jaw surgery to ultimately correct the damage.
