I'm just referring to smaller and smaller LEDs, I don't really care about the marketing terms really. Whatever technology you want to call sufficiently small LEDs, how you market it isn't relevant to me. Pixel-LEDs are the go

The notion that states are the perfect reflection of the democratic will is quite silly. Suppose a party in Europe is elected on the premise that they will provide free ice cream for all. This is an important issue for people, so they vote

It's quite simple: European states require serious restrictions on liberty in order to do the incredibly unpopular but morally good things they feel they're doing.

Think about what you're saying. 100k invested in the market - untouched - will decay a certain percentage a year in purchasing power due to inflation but will outpace it due to returns. How many years until that cash windfall changes y

It seems like the evidence falsifies this idea, though. Just based on what I'm reading it's very likely that your idea of how people are railed or de-railed from life success might not comport entirely with reality, i.e. there are

The problem is that cash windfalls don't build wealth. You need consistent income to do much of anything in this world that matters that can be traced, tracked, expressed in credit reports and used to back loans for serious purchases l

A lot of people in the comments are talking about the "problem" of death and approaches to take, but really, the only thing you can do is philosophically make your peace. Anything else at this point is yelling into infinity.
