The whole business of Stripe is based on that: it's so hard for developers to do, and so many regulations, that they would rather pay an another company to do so.
Crypto can be sent just using a contract.transfer() call

I personally have a stammer. While mine is less severe, and I doesn't need directly it, I know several people that would quite be glad of the benefits that it could bring to them. (Example: pass online interviews).
I agree however of the privacy concerns. We could limit it in a first time to medical devices for example, or have some privacy laws in place.

``` HTTP/1.1 303 See Other Location: /queries/results/f3a9c1d7 ```
And then you can access later `/queries/results/f3a9c1d7` using a pure GET call, and cache this instead
In the industry, almost everyone here is doing the exact same thing, outsourcing more and more of their thinking to LLM: so even if students learned how to manually write code, they will probably loose it later on (happening to us already, mostly can be seen when people are working on new solutions/frameworks... they now have the same issue than students).
Capital expenditures are easy to calculate, and it's easy to help raising money. As the current economical system is based on debts, it works quite well: if a company knows that productivity output will raise by 15% over the next year if they spend X dollars, it's easy to get investments (investments firms themselves are relying heavily on private credits, which more and more is coming from bank too). With a system based on debts, they care less about the amount spent, than the yield generated.
With investing in people, it's harder to predict.
