This is the risk with government granted corporate licences. Only once I spent 200$ on a no name company. Product was warranty for 3 years.
I was still skeptical but it had lots of good reviews and it was relatively affordable. Nothing life altering if the company failed.
Works still.
Sure bankruptcy exists, but that doesn't apply to big companies. Not sure a regulation can even fix that.
I've been BamboGoogled Enough to be done with this company.
On one hand Google is the lesser evil between M$ and Apple. But they are not reliable.
Not sure if anything in tech is really good long term unless you DIY. Not sure how I can DIY a phone in any reliable or secure way.
You don't need to get the government involved. That destroys small business. You can simply put a guaranteed to last/warranty timer on it.
Heck when we were doing our IOT device we left an offline mode.
Bitcoin is a Hedge against government inflation and unlike gold, nuclear chemistry proof.
The rest of the coins... Not really. Maybe privacy coins might be useful.
Orbit isn't hard. The hard part is landing something that can later return to space.
That said, you can't trust anything Elon says.
Really? What's wrong with admitting you were wrong, and that was a discovery in its own?
I recently made an error regarding essential amino acids, and it only improved the quality of suggested foods. Everyone wins.
(Although you still get a few internet haters)
What do you mean about brave?
Meh, that requires trusting Apple. No thanks.
Anyone using something other than Firefox or chrome?
But you can say the same about civil engineering. We don't know about macro effects until it's too late.
I definitely recommend Physical Therapy for that. They are Doctors but not MDs, they don't prescribe. They teach exercises, stretches and do massage and that crack that chiropractors do.
Physical Therapy is really what I need most the time, but when I was a kid I was taught to go see a PCP.
Mental health Tangent-
I wonder how far the American Medical Association/physicians have set back medical discoveries.
The traditional solution is Drugs. Some recommend exercise (although a friend recently couldn't get a prescription for Physical Therapy until after trying steroids for 2 weeks). Even fewer recommend diet changes.
Could this breathing method be a drug free solution to various psychological disorders? (Don't get me wrong, people may need drugs, but it's something to consider before a Physician gets someone addicted to Drugs for the rest of their life.)
It just seems like every industry has made huge strides in technological progress and scientific knowledge, then you have medical which is still unknown. Engineering and Medicine are both applied sciences, it seems either bizarre or corrupt that medical is far behind and has low quality outcomes, despite high costs.
But increments cause bad decisions to be made.

This is the first person/company that actually has a realistic (still optimistic) Coronavirus timeline.
Prior to this, everyone had unrealistic "fall 2020", then pushed to "January 2021".
This still assumes a vaccine and production of the vaccine will be finished in under a year.
A more realistic estimate seems to be 2022.
I don't understand why this is so hard, you can look at pandemic physics to know that Coronavirus is not going anywhere. And you can look at previous vaccine and medical production to understand how long it takes to make hundreds of millions or billions of vaccines.
Are most people willfully ignorant?
This is not relevant to the question asked since it's about vegetarians who gave eggs and milk.
Similar to research fraud, I want the medical field examined for anti-science fraud.
I caught my Physician recommending an expensive and dangerous surgery that could be done by a dentist or surgeon. I asked if there was data, she said yes. There was no data. And the trend was using lasers rather than surgery since it's safer. I confronted her and she said-
"If you ask a physician, they will recommend a physician. If you ask a dentist, they will recommend a dentist."
This physician used factionalism rather than science.
I imagine this has happened on a massive scale.
My guess is the education bubble. Loans are subsidized, universities have bigger budgets and want more studies done.
If that stock takes a tumble, you can bet their marketing is going to drop the privacy branding.
Everyone knows their customers are highly susceptible to marketing, it would be a gold mine.
Tangent question- any nutrients or minerals that only come from meat? (Vegetarian that eats eggs and milk here)
I've heard of a few, but from research they aren't actually necessary or can be metabolized.
I do food cost studies and the research is given away free to millions of people.
Reminds me of Apple and Amazon.
These gatekeepers flexing should be a huge red flag, akin to the BP oil spill in the tech world.
This might be the last straw for me to delete my Facebook. I would be a bad capitalist if I didn't.
My gold and Bitcoin and debt want this.
My parents who are about to retire do not want this.
My annoyance is that we aren't taught about alcoholism or that alcohol (and caffeine) are drugs.
Once your brain chemistry is changed, it takes significant pain to get it back. And according to the book Power of Habit, it never goes away.
Then alcoholics have the need to make everyone else drink. It's a cycle.
I'm glad I was addicted to alcohol and weed, easier to break. But I still relapse.
