Assuming people are rational actors, they would spend as little as possible and hoard the rest.

So then we need to ask: "how is holding bitcoin different than investing in a similar mutual fund".

Holding bitcoin decreases the money supply driving up value artificially, whereas investing in a mutual fund increases the money supply available for investment and drives economic growth.

Risk. The decreasing yield of mining ensures that the future value of bitcoin will appreciate (assuming demand stays flat). There is no risk that supply might suddenly increase.

"The system, which resembles a conventional tablet in appearance, comprises an osmotically active trilayer core surrounded by a semipermeable membrane with an immediate-release drug overcoat.

The trilayer core is composed of two drug layers containing the drug and excipients, and a push layer containing osmotically active components. There is a precision-laser drilled orifice on the drug-layer end of the tablet.

In an aqueous environment, such as the gastrointestinal tract, the drug overcoat dissolves within one hour, providing an initial dose of methylphenidate. Water permeates through the membrane into the tablet core. As the osmotically active polymer excipients expand, methylphenidate is released through the orifice. The membrane controls the rate at which water enters the tablet core, which in turn controls drug delivery."

Technologies, like the ones mentioned in this article, change the entire supply chain; fruits and vegetables become "in-season" all year round. They will no longer have to be shipped unripened, and should have a better flavour.

It's not really surprising to me though, at least in my neighborhood in Toronto there has been massive urbanization; there are no more wild fields. Parks and even hydro fields (land under power lines) are being mowed bi-weekly, destroying any chance of native plant biodiversity. I haven't seen a mosquito in literally years. But to be fair once you leave the city, not much has changed; insects are still plentiful.

I'd be wary to draw any conclusions from this study, since the areas the researchers set up their monitoring stations may have experienced a similar level of urbanization.

The idea of a 'flat' organization is laudable, but in practice it is usually a massive failure.

As a Canadian, it's baffling to see how divisive the US is. The irony of it being that social programs like this would actually reduce the feeling you describe ('different from me') by levelling the playing field. Provide everyone the same quality of education, healthcare, and access and what differences are left?

"Maybe we can build a cultural identity that sees fellow citizens as kin instead of just greedy, grabbing hands." - Maybe, if you can build a culture that doesn't deify money.

But, if gravity itself propagated as a wave (graviton + duality?) could interference explain dark matter/energy?

Would the constructive interference between gravity waves be significant enough to account for 'dark matter'? And what would destructive interference look like (dark energy?)

Turns out it wasn't depression, but type 2 bipolar. If stimulants are providing relief, you need to see a psychiatrist if you haven't already.

I am glad that your course is called 'computing' and _not_ computer science, since they are usually misconstrued (as in this article). I am all for teaching children how the digital world works, and introducing them to the concepts of electronics, programming etc. but it call it what it is.

Computer science != programming. Programming is an applied skill across nearly all scientific disciplines. Physicists, climate researchers, statisticians, etc, all require programming to do their research.

At a certain scale congestion is inevitable, whether automated or not, faster traffic will eventually need to merge with slower traffic...

For me, amphetamines actually allow me to productively switch my focus. 8+ hours of hyperfocus, while making me seem like a ninja unicorn rockstar, is just not sustainable and burnout is a real problem.

Your comment made me look into it since my intuition was that you were wrong (that personal transportation does not contribute _that_ much).

I've never considered the converse, using 'promotion' to control the population.

It is a perversion of science when a scientific theory is no longer subject to healthy criticism and skepticism.

Also, do some research on pricing models; I think some improvement could be made there; maybe a mid tier, ~8-10/mo.

All the competitors charge $10/mo or more at their starter price, and their free tier is all but unusable (some include ads).

I understand that $10/mo might seem unreasonable for some use cases.

BTW it is because your email is > 30 characters long.

edit: fixed.

Also, we are working on a duty calendar feature where you can create appointment slots.

Per-domain pricing seems very interesting, I will look in to it, thank you!
