I wonder if there is any quantum theory that can be applied to prediction markets. The act of observation can change a system. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schr%C3%B6dinger%27s_cat

CZ has pledged to have binance do proof of reserves going forward. This is a positive development in what is overall a shitty situation.

This is a great reminder, thank you for pointing it out. Interestingly during the 1918 Spanish flu aspirin was a new drug and was given to people in an effort to reduce fever. The problem is they gave it in doses that we now know is toxic. There is some evidence that patients treated in hospitals with aspirin had a 30x!!! deathrate vs those treated "homeopathically". This YouTube video goes into the history and context of it ...

I beleive in modern medicine and science but we should be careful about being overly optimistic and harming people by giving them a powerful drug that hasn't been tested properly.

Edited to add time point in video.

Thank you for making such a great tool. Do you have any plans that will allow the death rate to be adjusted once ICU overflow kicks in? There is going to be a much higher death rate once we run out of ICU beds and it would be interesting to see how that changes things

And smoke more cigarettes, so you die sooner, faster people die the less they consume in a lifetime.

I agree with you. Another way of saying this is that corruption is a property of human nature.

It seems that the most persistent problems we face often are. We can change our system of economic organization and politics but in the end the system is made up of individuals. Individuals who have all the same sort of flaws and who struggle with their human nature. It takes a lot of will and effort for a person to behave honestly and ethically. The interaction of peoples behaviors and the system they are in is a two way street.

I guess what I am saying is that we need to do the hard work of behaving better ourselves if we want to make our industry, community etc a better place.

Does anyone know if this type of setup would be good for smokey air from California wildfires?

I lived in a small studio in a damp part of SF and we discovered mold growing behind a beureu, I had cold like symptoms for months before which I think was related to a mold allergy. We moved all furniture away from wall, cleaned with mix of bleach and water then invested in a $200 Frigidaire 50 pint dehumidifier (like this one Frigidaire FAD504DWD Energy Star 50-pint Dehumidifier https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AU7GYXA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_n8i7...) and it solved the problem for us. It would pull a gallon or more of water out of the air everyday. I tried some smaller/cheaper dehumidifiers but they really didn't compare.
