I looked at their site briefly and didn't quite see the answer to this, on the bottom of their FAQ (https://www.augur.net/faq/) it says:
Fees on the Augur protocol go directly to the market creator and REP holders who report and dispute outcomes. The Forecast Foundation does not recieve any fees from actions, trades, markets or use on the Augur protocol.
I guess this has to do with them being a decentralized marketplace, which as the article discusses does have some cool perks.
In the USA, PredictIt.org is a site that is also aimed at prediction, but they take a 10% fee on profit, and then a 5% fee on withdrawal. Seemingly a lot more volume on their markets than Augur at the moment, with some of their markets having hundreds of thousands of shares traded, and thousands of comments.
I live with a 3D joystick in my left hand and trackball in my right hand. Obviously I do this for 3D cad work. My arms barely move. I go out of my way to avoid the keyboard, even to the point of using the "mouse" for cutting and pasting.
I prefer the 'savasana' position, I actually find it more confortable without a pillow in this position, I can also be by the sides or any other position, just not for all night long, I found it actually decreased upper back and neck pains after I removed the pillow
Before going pillowless, I had a buckwheat pillow. It is less cushy and fluffy than standard Western pillows. I believe they are typical in Japan and not hard to find these days. It helped wean me off the giant fluffy Western pillows.
I have respiratory problems. I sleep better without breathing in allergens and dust mites and god knows what from a pillow. Though it did take a bit of time to get used to doing it differently from how I had my whole life.
Very interesting. In the last 2 years I scare-tactic'd myself into seriously restricting my sugar (basically down to what the WHO would recommend for a person like myself) and immediately saw improvements in my skin, and not long after noticed that I don't get sick as often.
As well, I've adopted the practice of avoiding any eating after 7pm.
These two things combined resulted in me going from the 150s down to the 140s, seemingly only losing fat in the process.
All anecdotal but it has been more than enough to convince me that sugar (despite my deep, deep, deep, love for it) is not good for me.
