Appetite suppressing molecules are no surprise. In fact, we have one on the market called GLP-1 that works so well, it almost works too well. The big story in the TFA is that this is a "small-molecule" - a relatively simply organic compound that you could synthesize in bulk in a chemistry lab or pharmaceutical plant.

By contrast, GLP-1 is hormone - specifically, a 30-amino acid chain of amino acids called a peptide that folds into a particular tangled shape that makes it work. Peptides are much more difficult to synthesize, and are quite unstable. Our bodies also tend to get rid of peptides quickly, so they don't last very long in the bloodstream.

Just compare how the two look:
GLP1 versus p-Tyramine-O-Sulfate and it is obvious which one is the harder one to deal with.

Almost nobody actually laid of employees because of AI, that was just an excuse to downsize in slow markets. If sales were growing, the same number of employees could do more work via bots such that they wouldn't actually reduce head-count. The proper business move under gained efficiency in a normal economy is to chase market share, not lay off.

Smells like ... recession.

Maybe God does work in mysterious ways. I thought She sent him as a substitute for a locusts to punish us for mistreating the planet, but maybe Don's dual-purpose. She's good!

There isn't one. But there IS a need to be able to edit a single document with collaboratively with multiple people, and have decent reliability in changes being preserved and getting updated asynchronously.

At the moment, only Microsoft Office and Google Docs allow that. The browser is just a side-effect/perk of using web technologies to facilitate the above, and the fact that Google does everything in the browser as far as possible.

...get elected. Brains are optional in politics.
