I looked into your O2 theory recently but under the idea of " Is more oxygen better". From what I learned, your blood is 99% saturated at 21% oxygen; so, I don't think that would work. Maybe just try breathing more? Expel twice as much Co2 as you usually do.

But my tips, drink more water, eat less and move more. If you do a combination of these things relative to where you are now, you will lose weight.

And why were they all stock trading? "We are cool and do donuts in our chargers"... lol Like at least have etherscan up ? "Did you get that address?" XD I mean, if their aim is to help people get stolen funds , ok. But, that is a slippery slope. The whole idea of crypto is self sovereignty.

Contactless payments are great but there are many intermediaries in 1 simple purchase in the current payment processing system. I would like to see digital payments evolve into true p2p transactions. Let me pass you my bits. I don't want to pass them to bob, jessica, then larry and then have larry pass you the bits.

This is my first time encountering this and I like it. I am looking forward to completing these this month.

"kWh Analytics’ most recent figures place the median annual degradation for residential solar systems as 1.09% and non-residential systems at 0.8%. The report states that over a 20-year asset life, project degradation could therefore be underestimated by as much as 14%, resulting in severaly overestimated performance and revenue forecasts produced within a P50 model."

I will now be using my Friday morning to have a deep refresher into CSS. Thank you

To me it seems to be more of a volume data point rather than storage. So, it might only be terabytes of data, but for instance in ML algorithms, you could be running that data through the algorithm many times every two minutes. So by the end of the day, you've processed "petabytes" of data. This is just my interpretation of it. I could be wrong to.

I've been thinking about this a bit lately. I think what we need more than anything is consensus among developers to not accept specific conditions. I think it's easy to get excited about opportunities; and especially in junior devs to want to "put in the work" to prove that you care and "go the extra mile" for "a stake in the company" .. Things I've heard far to often.

If their was more mentoring between senior and junior devs, and the junior devs we're enlightened to the all the employer bs, I think that would help solve alot of bad contracts; at least it would prevent juniors from accepting horrible deals.

Also, it seems to me that their could be something here beyond a standard union. Block chain / decentrailized union?... maybe. Let's not forget that we, the labor pool are selling our labor to the employees. And, tbh, devs are a hot commodity and with consensus among them, would have significant leverage as a group.

This could potentially cross borders too. Pulling up all devs from all nations.

Like any new thing there will be profiteers, scammers, spammers and the like. The true value, just like any other art, comes from the value you place on it. I could 100% imagine myself buying a digital frame, hang it on my wall and display some NFTS that I own. Those tweet spammers who are pumping tweets onto the chain every second automatically are stupid in my opinion. Often times it isn't about the art as much as it is about the artist. They're just muking up the seas.

Beyond all the technical specification, this is just a cool looking drone. I remember as a kid thinking how cool it would be if I had a camera on an RC car. Now, we're flying first person through the sky. So cool.

Call option 101: A call option is basically a right (not an obligation) to buy a specific stock at a specific price (strike price) some time in the future. Loss is limited to the premium paid for option and gains are basically unlimited.

If for instance I buy a 2-week NFLX Call option at a $2 premium with a strike price of $545, and in two weeks the price of NFLX is trading at $560 then I would exercise my option to buy 100 NFLX stock at $545 and could immediately sell it for a profit at the market price $560.

A lot of times also, speculators never exercise the option and just close the position by making the opposite bet. (i.e. sell the call option to another investor/speculator rather than buy 100 stock at the strike price)

Thoughts: I think this guy is making a fight against times as well as believing a fallacy that the stock-market 100% correlates with fundamental analysis of the underlying company. Yes P/E is high for many companies, and I have heard of a current "tech-bubble" but who knows. How much is "too much"? No one really does. Bet on the total markets long term and you'll probably be ok. Also buy BTC

This is an interesting argument. I would like to see this broken down from a economic perspective.

My concerns:

1. Inflation - A UBI would touch into an increased money supply and higher wages which I think could push us towards demand-pull inflation. Possibly completely negating or at least partially negating the money earned through the program.

2. Funds - How would a successful UBI be funded? Would taxes increase? Maybe we just tax captial markets and use those funds? Could this somehow be a new role of the fed?

3. Social Programs - Currently, there are many unemployed making more then those working part-time and at minimum wage full time work. (This having to do specifically with the COVID relief added on top of original amount for unemployment). How would this effect incentive to work? Could it potentially impact GDP growth? (and by no means am I arguing that this is the only metric that matters. I am interested in the long term effects this could have. Obviously, "What are the long term affects of not having a home, to be able to afford education and food?" is the relevant counter question.)
