Just because there are open problems AI cannot solve, it does not mean you can make meaningful contributions. AI might become more capable than you in every way. Say AI cannot solve P vs NP. You can dedicate your life to the problem and will not make progress. Similar for more worldly problems like new treatments. Or societal problems. You are the cow.


It's not that simple, road damage is famously non-linear in axle load: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_power_law


That is possible while openly stating your products price.


Hey thanks, I'll update the pricing on website today.


On your start page, under all posts (which seem to be chronological), it sits below "The room the economy can’t see", so I did not associate it with the follow up.



I wish people would gamble with something other than a proof-of-work coin. There are very similar alternatives now. When bitcoin rises, more money is spent on mining. Whoever holds bitcoin is in part responsible for this waste of energy.


I wish people would rather invest in companies, than parking their money in crypto.


Outside of the US it isn't that easy (to invest in individual shares - because there's not much that's attractive)

And I attempt to be somewhat ethical in my investments - that really limits my options.


Why is that? If you invest in a company, you steal worker wages.


You're going to have to explain that one.



I'm not reading all that.


Absolutely. 1% of world electricity, with the waste approximately proportional to the Bitcoin price (due to medium term market forces) modulo halvings, of course.


"Strip club visit to onlyfans" is more apt


Nah in small enough venues you sit down and have a beer with the musicians :D


What is missing for you in Alovoa? Can you maybe contribute it?


Orange oil works wonders. It's explicitly not food safe, but you get that stuff on your hand every time you peel an orange and it's also present in juice. Just rinse them afterwards and wear gloves.


Sure if you are already airing every hour you don't need it. Then for me it was surprising how often I have to air and for how long (also depends on draft and temperature difference). Once you take into account the more harmful particulate matter coming in from outside, it's about finding a compromise, and without measuring you are tapping in the dark. But in the end people get old without all that stuff.
