Do you have an issue with saving lives? Have these people transgressed in your eyes enough to earn death? The fact that these are children means nothing to you? If someone has anything that can help, you're with the AC thinking that because it's Musk (for all his many-many faults) that screw him and if he happens to be able to assist they should say no 'because he's Elon Musk' then really? Think before spamming reaction one liners that you think earn you imaginary internet points maybe.

Have you actually read the reports of incoming heavy rain, and monsoons? And the fact that we do not know if they can keep the floodwaters in the cave complex low enough to keep them alive? Do we know if their air supply is going to hold? A diver died returning from resupplying them a few hours ago. Resupplying them for months could well be at the cost of a loss of lives of the people trained well enough and with enough experience to get to/from them in these situations. How many lives of divers do you think it'll take to keep them resupplied? This isnt Scuba diving off the reefs, there's only a finite number of people available, if most of them lose their lives who is going to go in instead? This is not a done deal in terms of saving them by any stretch of the imagination, heavy rain is apparently coming tomorrow. How many hours before this happens does it become urgent?

Rather than get on your high horse mister AC, try this on for size: If any product that Musk's companies have made can help to either save those children's lives, or get them out quicker and more safely then he should get them sent over. Playing your favourite game of Musk Hating (tm) is not for this situation. They're children. Their lives are in urgent danger. Take yourself outside and have a stern word with yourself

I suppose the ad agencies will never get it, and nor will websites that show their product. Either you're 100% liable for the damage wrought from malware spread from your servers (and then you might give a damn about making sure the ads are properly vetted), or sensible people will block the garbage your adserver outputs.

Using the same dataset if it was published with the article would lead to manipulation of that dataset to meet the already decided upon conclusion. Taking the idea/theory and using an independent dataset is the only way to stop this.
We've seen the results of this before from just about every lobby group with something they are trying to spin into something more positive , for ex Tobacco lobby, NRA, AGW, the list goes on. Marketting droids meet persons with personal agenda. Having no peer reviewed science publishers would be markedly worse. If you had said 'paid peer review publishers' then I would agree.
It's interesting how you turned my question of over your independence into an 'allegation'. You see that little round punctuation mark at the end of my sentence I guess, that denotes a question.
Those of us that are genuine, tend to not hide behind the ac button. Try it some time

To wit, hideous spamware/malware slinging racket bans something or other meaning we wont get to block said ads from said hideous spamware/malware slinging racketon website not many of us will visit anyway. ttfn ps. get a clue webmasters, you want people to accept ads on your webpages? Try this: sell, vet and host the adspace yourself, and be prepared to take full responsibility if you end up serving malware!
