danielsokilon Drag Racers Are Ditching Superchargers for Scuba-Style Tanks and Compressed Air

I planned to implement this system in a project car years ago, but never got to it. Do have a parts list, and the overall cost is quite reasonable. My goal focuses on in-vehicle recharging rather than tank-swapping approach.

danielsokilon FreeTube – A Private YouTube Client

YouTube has a hidden button labeled "New to you". I've recently discovered it, seems to do a better job of recommending new videos, compared to the home page recommendations.

danielsokilon Gen Z does not dream of labor

I've been thinking a bit about this problem lately, And one thought is we could have a different structure for organizations, where everyone participating (employed) automatically becomes part of the company as a shareholder. However, it's not clear yet how many shares should a person hold? Can we relate the value a person brings to the amount of shares? This structure could motivate people to be part of a company, as the company grows, the value of your shares increases.

Let's say that model does work, I'm going to guess it won't be that beneficial to most. The majority will probably sell at any opportunity they get, and a small percentage will continue to hold as the company becomes more valuable.

danielsokilon Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2021 – Show and tell

One of the problems I have been thinking about, people can still solo mine when they have lots of capital to buy hardware. Now, most crypto miners are using pools that reward them for their hashrate. However, there are only a handful of pools that the majority of miners use, which means centralization.

danielsokilon Multivitamins' 'benefits' are all in your head: study

From what I understand, the basis of placebo is brain convincing the body. How else could this be achieved besides consuming the vitamins? It seems to me that we haven't gotten that far yet.

danielsokilon Multivitamins' 'benefits' are all in your head: study

I'm not sure of another method to achieve similar results considering that this could be a placebo effect.

danielsokilon Multivitamins' 'benefits' are all in your head: study

For the past few years I've consumed vision health vitamins on a daily basis, and can't say that there was any noticeable improvement in my vision. On the contrary I did notice that they reduce eye pain. Some weeks I could not afford the vitamins and after hours of exposure to the computer screen, an intense pain would hit the eyes making it very difficult to continue looking at the screen. When I can afford the vitamins, I continue to consume them, with the expectation that they will continue to reduce the pain.
