Ya this is what I was thinking this was when I first saw it, until I saw the price.


It's usually suspended in olive oil


I believe this is due to vitamin absorption, our body requires fat to absorb certain vitamins. Some are fat soluble, some are water soluble. Just depends.


A lot of them come in 5000 iu or 10,000 iu capsules. So 1 or 2 a day.


$8-10 a month would be awesome, and they would probably make a ton of money using that subscription model. It's short sighted that they don't do this.


For someone like me who would use it for a week, wait two years, then use it for another week, $8-$10 per month is prohibitory. I would happily pay for quality software, and I do pay for the Jetbrains tools which I use daily, but for software that I use very intermittently I need a buy-once-use-forever model.


The case where you need something one week every two years is precisely when "pay one month to use it now" makes more sense than "pay to use it without limits and do not use it".


So pay as you use. They already save all your stuff. You just can't have a lot open at once, IIUC.


Actually, they don't "save all your stuff". They require "your stuff" to be in their cloud, with no local download option, and if you do not use the service for N months, your account is purged.

And I don't care if N is 3 or if N is 36 or if N is 86400. I don't trust a single storage place for any data I care about. Having it only in their cloud is absolutely not an option, even if there weren't danger of them deliberately erasing it if I don't pay regularly.


Eesh. Man I wish freecad was better. I got my daughter up on F360 in a matter of minutes (and that was after I used the app myself for about that long).

If they had some $100/yr family maker plan, I'd be all about that. Same for any reasonable competition.


That would probably be sufficient for light industrial use as well though. And those are the customers they are trying to "shake down". No judgement, but that's the problem with hobbyist stuff that is professional grade... cheap professionals use it.


Did you consider spending your nights and weekends building one to find out?


I'm gonna build one! Ordered two boards immediately. Qmk orthogonal keyboards are trivial to add MIDI to and super fun, I've made a few. I already have the switches. Grand piano range with a bass guitar layout


I think you are missing their point


As a non-tennis player, I'd agree, this is impressive and fun.


Palantir is just getting more and more scary everytime I read it hear anything about them


Transactions on ethereum get processed from the mempool in order of who wants to pay the most gas to have their stuff processed.

And yes, ethereum has more potential for problems, it's a much more complicated system than bitcoin. Their current goals are proof of stake (getting away from energy wasting mining) and scalability. Bitcoin is great for what it's great for, being digital gold, but it's pretty far from replacing Visa, ethereum actually has a shot at that.


Yes, summer time forever!
