They talk about how sometimes people would show them doctored receipts to scam them- how much longer before people start recording the "Paid Rs 50" voice and playing it back off their phones? Not sure what the fix for that would b

One thing nobody seems to be talking about is whether SVB had more assets than liabilities- presumably they did since it was a money-making enterprise, right? So even if they sell at a loss there may be more than enough to cover the liabi

I wonder if the lower gravity on Mars would have an effect on bamboo's growth. Maybe it will grow faster, or higher? The gravity on Mars is roughly 1/3 G. Edit: I also wonder if there's a potential process for turning bamboo
