Not sure what you mean. Are you saying later round investors in Uber are funding profits for early round investors? I could see some tech investment structures as possibly resembling MLM due to winner-take-all effects and outsized profits going to the earliest investors. Though this isn't a property specific to Uber

I think MLM is different. A small number of people might make a lot of money, funded by the losses of most of the rest. In that respect its more like gambling, and people can be more easily fooled to think that they'll be one of the lucky few.

Working as a driver for uber/lyft isn't really like that at all. You know approximately how much you can stand to make per hour. There isn't a small pool of drivers somehow making tons of money at the expense of the rest. Being a driver isn't predicated on mistakenly calculating your odds of winning big.

Were the misattributed authors aware that they were being given credit for puzzles they didn't write? I'm assuming they must have been.

Sorry... what? Why would you say the originality of the crossword has no value? And what on earth does that have to do with resisting arrest?

> The Usona Phase 2 trial plans to enrol 80 subjects, randomized to receive either a single active dose of psilocybin or an active placebo containing niacin.

Blind testing in this case seems silly. It’ll be obvious to both patient and doctor pretty quickly who got the high dose psychedelic and who got placebo
