And microplastics don't just mess with digestion, they're also theorized to be part of the reason fertility is dropping in humans over time.

Yes, and gold and jewelry are worth a lot because people have bid up prices for them. That is how worth is determined on a market.

Yes, and generating more revenue would tend to instead demand for your skills, no?

I didn't know what playdate was. From the website:

Sounds neat!

>geometric patterns appearing in textures

Is it similar to the kinds of visuals a person using psychedelics might experience?

> stocks in companies, bonds in governments

Being pedantic, but governments aren't the only entities which issue bonds. Private bonds exist as well.

Wouldn't it also be much, much more expensive than building the line on the ground?

As a student, I've never had any edtech site or "online textbook" that had good UX. It wouldn't be so offensive if I didn't have to pay $80 per semester per course for the privilege of using something that is never as good as a real textbook.

Perhaps if the system was given more resources it might have a chance to become less broken. Of course just pouring money into the problem alone won't fix it, but I think it's clear to see the IRS cannot continue to operate on the level of funding it currently gets.

> but of course there are laws about insurance

In the U.S. at least, you don't need to insure your own car. You just need liability insurance that will pay out to someone else if you're at fault in an accident.

The difference is that in many cases, universities are a business that's also subsidized by the government, which makes it even easier for them to engage in monopolistic behavior.

Assuming you mean harder than it sounds. Or, easier said than done.

I honestly thought Reddit would die when they introduced Reddit awards, it seemed like such an obvious cash grab. You can't underestimate the amount of community momentum that the site has though.

I'm sure in any case the lawyers took a hefty sum.

Source on the statistics? I'm curious.

Does the stock market work similarly? From what I understand about 4/5 of all trading done today is automated.

I think this is true, but all things being equal employees will value $1 in salary much more than $1 in equity. So to get the same impact of higher salary, you have to give a large amount of equity. There are pros and cons.

Especially interesting because you can just mechanically press the oil out, which is very easy to turn into diesel. Unfortunately the cost/benefit doesn't seem to be there yet.

My grandmother has about 10 acres with lots of >100 yo trees on it. It's fairly common around where I live.

Do you think that smart contacts could be useful in this area?

What is your explanation for the explosion in asset prices over the last year, if not inflation? Do you think the assets have become fundamentally more valuable?

Personally I value my time at $13.50 am hour because that's what I'm paid (part time retail while I go to school).

There's many different kinds of people on this site.

Many people buy real estate and let it sit empty, to sell at a later date when the price increases. This is actually a destruction of value as the house is no longer being utilized for it's intended purpose.

In my opinion, location names are the easiest and most memorable way to refer to variants. The tradition is as old as the "Spanish flu"... which isn't from Spain at all.

For example, the Chinese constitution guarantees it's citizens the right of free speech.

Yep. The inventory drift from wrong shipments and damaged items varies from store to store, but in the store I work at inventory numbers are often off by 5-10%. And much higher numbers aren't unheard of. Most stores completely re-count every item they have quarterly.

Inventory management is something that's easy in theory, and very very hard in practice.

Well, not all libre software is gratis.

I wonder why one brand of clothing doesn't just start making women's pants with deep pockets, and put "deep pockets!" on the tag. Seems like a huge profit opportunity.

By the way, the data visualization in the article is great.

Very cool thread, and encouraging to see that they could open-source a good bit of the satellite code.

Benzodiazepines are such cursed drugs. Their withdrawal symptoms can be so severe, I don't understand why they would be used for anything other than a last resort.
