yup i have one its amazing! I did the same thing with my chair, bought a herman miller aeron. They were both expensive but make working so much more comfortable and should last a long time.
I also do this. Two handy upshots are:
- At the end of the week, I have a list of most of the things I’ve accomplished
- Tomorrow morning, I can hit the ground running because I can remember where I left off
I highly doubt this was leaked to developers, I think this was developers realizing that long island city was within close proximity to Manhattan and people want luxury rentals without the price of paying for one in Manhattan.
This is exactly why my partner and I live there. It's cheaper, cleaner, and generally calmer than Manhattan. Plus, we have an extraordinary view of the Manhattan skyline from a terrace we could NEVER afford in Manhattan.
yes, but that doesn't mean that someone could buy a house right now and provide the same deal as the existing owner. The existing owner could have bought while interest rates were higher and prices were lower and refinanced down to a much lower monthly payment.
You should think about which fiat your likening it too. Its more liquid that certain fiat (Venezuela) and can definitely be used to buy things.
It's not being used to buy things because its a deflationary currency which along with an adoption curve means it's more advantageous to sit on it.
The adoption is definitely increasing the value of it, its a more liquid gold to me, but like any other currency or asset the value is derived from the trust and value that people put in it.
not at all like central banks because mining is decentralized. Besides, there are also users and merchants who are just as important and miners don’t dare pushing changes that nobody wants.
Do you realize that of miners decided to fork in favor of a model which is better fit them, there will be a shortage of block mining until the difficulty declines. Which means transactions would be frozen for around a month. I'm not sure users and merchands could stand that fight …
Rational miners realize that forcing a protocol change that isn’t acceptable to users or merchants will destroy valuation of the fork they choose to mine, so there is discebtive from such behavior.
But yes, if they do it anyway, there will be period with very slow blocks and that will hurt the project a lot but then difficulty will adjust downward.
holy crap I didn't realize these were worth that much, I have boxes of these in my closet right now with cards from Unlimited/Legacy to Tempest(maybe some newer but i forget what the releases were called).
I did the same as you and migrated away. I was looking at the XPS and ended up going with the Razer Blade Stealth. What's actually surprised me most is how much I enjoy having a touch screen. I could see checking out the new surface pro 2 at some point now.
The other huge thing that surprised me was how easy development is becoming with the new Windows Linux Subsystem. The only thing i haven't gotten to play nicely with it is Postgres, but I just set it up in windows and have the wls connect to it and I'm on my way.
