If there's excess demand at night, you increase the price at night. If there's excess supply in the morning/afternoon, you lower the price. It's not complicated, and the problem fixes itself. You don't need AI to si

I'm not knowledgable with JS at all, so you're probably right. I do wonder what the "Code Integrity Guard" is going to mean - who has to sign the JS? Does this mean tampermonkey/adblock scripts would stop working? G
