I'm sad to hear that, I have been optimistic about this helping people actually. Good news is that there are other options besides Chivo, so hopefully conditions improve as the market develops.

People should read "The Internet of Money" by Andreas Antonopolous, in it he describes how much of the criticisms levied against crypto are similar to criticism levied against the internet in the early days. Many of the internets

Monero is referred to as a zkp coin in this article; but afaik it is cryptonote based, using a combination of mixing and stealth-addresses and doesn't actually use zero-knowledge proofs. Did that change at some point or was this said

I would look into paleo diets like the autoimmune protocol(AIP), the idea behind them is that removing certain foods is a lot more important than adding them for that sort of condition. Currently use a paleo/ketogenic diet to manage IB

so by that logic, if we took money away from people the rent would go down? The answer is yes, it probably would, but not enough to negate the effect of the wealth change. With a UBI of $1,000 I would expect rent might go up in some areas

Not only that, but the token they use was distributed via ICO, meaning it is highly centralized and potentially will be subject to securities legislation in the future. Completely ignores the ethos crypto currencies started with.

personally I would classify this as malpractice. The inflammatory effect of polyunsaturated oils is common knowledge at this point.

It happens both on my Mac Book Pro and my Windows 10 desktop. I don't have the problem as much with pre uploaded videos but with live streaming sites like twitch.

In my experience I can't stream video on firefox without the video freezing within the first 5 minutes, and it feels clunky even with non video webpages. I really hate google the company, and I'd love to stop using their software

While I am an atheist myself, I grew up going to a Unitarian church. They held food drives and other charity events, and was a social staple of our community. Religion can give a person's life structure, give them a social support ne

It has always perplexed me why there is a desire to deal with kind of thing at the federal level in the first place. States being able to decide these things for themselves is supposed to be what makes such a massive country stay functiona

Sia is actually, at least in theory, cheaper. Long term Sia or something like it will dominate cloud storage. Right now though, it is not big enough for large enterprise investors, nor user-friendly enough for small scale/individual u

In addition to this, some studies have shown intermittent fasting increases muscle mass (or in some cases, has less muscle loss than other diets), focusing on weight instead of BMI (or some other measure of body fat %) is a huuuge mistake.

I'm sure it sounds like a broken record at this point, but "correlation =/= causation". It is possible that many that abuse cannabis are also more likely to engage in other activities that could contribute to brain agin

Simple, there aren't any. Never, EVER, assume anonymity on the internet. Also I'll add the fact that if you even so much as download Tor, you have made it on a watch list; also exit nodes are a massive vulnerability. With those
