A lot of people from India on there posting dumb jobs. Though, dumb jobs can come from anywhere. It takes hours of sifting to find real offers. Most people want you to solve climate change for $1k or build their amazing idea they haven't thought through. It's a dumpster fire but there are real offers on there. With data science, you have to stress that it is research. You can only give probabilities, there's a chance it never works as you suspected or you don't come to a conclusion.

Similar happened to us, they want to keep the traffic in their platform so they want for tricky behavior, confusing buttons, ect. Pretty anal about getting constant updates to games, makes it impossible for small companies to survive.

It's no problem to get 50,000 hour LED bulb but you going to pay $10+ for each one. Mainly due to the metal heat sink. American companies are still machining blocks of metal. The Chinese adapted other heat sink technologies to make thinner heat sink fins, when combined do the same with less materials. I'm pretty sure the next leap will come from LCD scale LEDs combined into bigger arrays which require even less for cooling since they can be printed onto various materials.

The hemp flowers are good, cbd is interesting. We did a small experiment using hemp as replacement for tobacco. There is very little psychoactive components. The difference is that it smokes like a dream. When the user runs out though, tobacco cravings come back full swing. It could become a good harm reduction technique for tobacco/vaping users. Still the production is just starting in my state, so it's rare and expensive.

I canceled my subscription, $7 for a UI to a git server. It was kind of lazy tax on individuals.

What bothers me is that this move didn't seem as well planned and prepared for than previous changes, not a good sign. github has a certain flow, hope MS doesn't destroy that.

There is a bubble some where. Looking at the total supply of bitcoin and the current maximum of 21 million, bitcoin's inflation is slowing while fiat inflation is growing exponentially. Expect more big waves and mass capital flight as currency transitions into the crypto economies.

I resell a lot of dental equipment. The tools are incredibly cheap now and the composites are becoming increasingly more advanced and easy to use. It's all coming from China where things have become deregulated. Also, aligners are now made using machine learning, so those are more affordable than ever. Basically, the tech is there but the regulation in US is lagging as always.

As a person who has researched Soylent, I would not describe it as cheap or healthy. Most of the people with opposing opinions seem to think it's a magic weight loss supplement. In reality, the properties that cause weight loss seem to be the low quality ingredients.

Imagining is the easy part if you ask me. What would you do, if you could program your own mind? My first app would probably be some more manual control over the body. Sure would be nice to have a 75 bpm in a stressful situation.
