That said, these days I slightly prefer the much cheaper Ikea Markus with the arm rests removed and angled at approx 135 deg.

Ive been itching for a scriptable personal knowledge base where I can store arbitrary datastructures and executable code in addition to the typical richtext note taking. Will be diving into the code asap. Cheers!
p.s. notably, the author of Build your own Mint project is also the creator of Vuejs
What about these guys?
So you think digging tens of millions of miles of fiber trenches to bring gigabit internet to everyone is a more capex efficient solution than a few hundred nano-satellites in LEO blanketing the earth with connectivity? It will be low bandwidth but enough for farmers (what most people in the world do) to check weather, crop yield predictions, and market spot prices, or do remote banking from their village, or check medical information.

You can't eliminate the need for insurance. As long as there is risk in the world, there will be the need to insure against it. > Air conditioning: A problem easily solved by getting people to live in better climates.
Yup, let's move billions of impoverished people living in
tropical countries to cooler climates up north. Maybe we can fit them all in Denmark. > Some of this list seems silly and easily dismissed as "because physics". Electric aircraft don't make sense and I doubt they ever will.
Elon Musk seems to disagree. And so do all these folks: https://techcrunch.com/2018/07/08/the-electric-aircraft-is-t...It's so easy to be an armchair critic and be dismissive of other people's ideas. The only difference is, some people break down large problems step by step and overcome obstacles for over a decade to solve them.
Would be interested in hearing from Adam[2] the trade-offs between fully and partially decentralized architectures
Some advice: focus, above all, on fit. Learn what each of the basic garments should fit like for your body type. Even the most basic budget wardrobe tailored to fit well will look great compared to expensive but unfitting clothes. Then focus on fabric quality, color combinations, and experimenting with your own styles (pinterest is great for exploring this).
Good luck!

I have no affiliation with Ripple or XRP, just enjoyed the fairly technical nature of the talk.
In the longer run, you can imagine not just credit history data being exchanged (with the permission of the borrower perhaps) but also the ability to trade the loan products themselves, most of which is done OTC right now. Fixed income contracts can be described as "smart contracts" [1]
