   I'm impressed by Eugen. Giving up full ownership is absolutely the right thing to do. But most people in this situation would become too greedy and start rationalizing why they should be in control (benevolent dictator). Hats off! Mast

    This is correct. But a public benefit corporation is still for profit. And the "benefit" is very vaguely defined. It might be defined in their charter, but the only people who can hold them responsible to it are the investors. And

    Thanks! Yes, so hard to say how things are correlated... Interestingly, my throat has been feeling better the last few days. Anyways, I'll keep trying stuff, your comments were already very helpful. Thank you, again!

    Intersting, thanks for sharing! For me it's also better a few days, than worse a few days, and I can't figure out why. Does not seem directly correlated to food or alcohol (sometimes I drink a few beer and feel great the next few

    I mean it's hard to rule out GERD 100%. But I did try careful eating and Omeprazole (and other PPI) for a few months, too, and it did not get better. Did you notice gradual improvement or did it just go away one day?

    Very interesting, nobody mentioned this to me before. I'll try and see if there's a correlation in my case. Thanks!

    I don't snore. What do you mean by "post-nasal drip"? I do have allergies to environmental stuff like dust and hay fever, and my nose is running / sneezing from this. Some weeks more, some weeks less. But it's not n

    LLM proponents really have succeeded in moving the overton window on this discussion. "Sure, you cannot trust LLMs, but you cannot trust humans, either".

    I doubt that the reason public transport is not as prevalent e.g. in the US as in some European countries is the cost of the driver. The fixed costs of operating a train or a bus must be many many times more.
