Your model is not considering risk ; the time value of bitcoin is risk-free positive, whereas any other instrument (in fiat) is either low risk break even, after inflation, or risk positive. Assuming people are rational actors, they would

"what's the difference between spending Bitcoin that would otherwise appreciate 5% value per year, vs. spending dollars, thereby foregoing the opportunity to invest in a 5%/year mutual fund?" Risk. The decreasing yield

Concerta ER does something like that, I'm curious why it isn't more widely used. "The system, which resembles a conventional tablet in appearance, comprises an osmotically active trilayer core surrounded by a semipermeable m

I'm pretty sure the reason your fruits and veggies don't taste right is because they have to be shipped unripened to prevent spoilage. It's why fruit from the farmers market tastes better, it was grown until ripe and shipped

I always just chalked it up to the "there were more thunderstorms when I was a kid" phenomenon (that a large number of people will remember there being more thunderstorms when they were children, despite studies suggesting the num

Reading PeopleWare was a revelation for me, in that cliques and politics are inevitable (it's human nature). It's a company's responsibility to put processes & structures in place to create a _better_ workplace by removin

Or move to Canada, where _despite_ diversity & multiculturalism, people care about each other. As a Canadian, it's baffling to see how divisive the US is. The irony of it being that social programs like this would actually reduce t

Ah, so 'Gravitational waves' are ripples in spacetime. But, if gravity itself propagated as a wave (graviton + duality?) could interference explain dark matter/energy?

by sloppycee 10y ago
I've always wondered, if gravity is a wave (has it been confirmed?), then there must be areas in space where different waves superimpose. Would the constructive interference between gravity waves be significant enough to account for &#

I had a similar experience, suffered for years with severe depression. Tried every type of drug, nothing was working. But stimulants significantly helped. Turns out it wasn't depression, but type 2 bipolar. If stimulants are providin

What terrifies me is not the potential data leak, but that the NSA may be obtaining their TLS certificates, bypassing the threat (to them) of "https everywhere".

Computer science is the science of the 'theory of computation' (essentially mathematics): proofs of correctness, complexity theory, numerical methods, symbolic logic, etc. I am glad that your course is called 'computing'

ADHD/ADD seems to be common in our industry, a side effect being 'hyperfocus' or what we (as an industry) refer to as 'flow'. For me, amphetamines actually allow me to productively switch my focus. 8+ hours of hyper

Shockingly, passenger vehicles make up 43% of US greenhouse gas emissions. [1] Your comment made me look into it since my intuition was that you were wrong (that personal transportation does not contribute _that_ much). 1. http:/&#x2F

Why is it considered different from a physical safe? The government already has the ability and laws to compel citizens to provide access, why should it be any different with encryption?

Communism uses suppression as a means to control the population. I've never considered the converse, using 'promotion' to control the population.

Seems there are now three things that can not be discussed rationally: politics, religion and climate change. It is a perversion of science when a scientific theory is no longer subject to healthy criticism and skepticism.

I think you need to show how it integrates with Google Calendar. Lots of screenshots of your app, but no mention of what benefits are gained by integrating with gcal. Also, do some research on pricing models; I think some improvement could

Would $5/mo be more reasonable? All the competitors charge $10/mo or more at their starter price, and their free tier is all but unusable (some include ads). I understand that $10/mo might seem unreasonable for some use cases

I think we could help you with that, there is nothing preventing you from embedding your booking page in an iframe.

I have added a smooth scroll effect that should fix this, thank you.

by sloppycee 13y ago
Yes but we found that the calendar owner want's to restrict the length of appointment, rather than let the contact select an arbitrary length.

We are still determining pricing, thanks for the input.

Yeah, I see that. I will fix that asap. BTW it is because your email is > 30 characters long. edit: fixed.

Yes, absolutely.

Yes, you can specify which hours you are available. Also, we are working on a duty calendar feature where you can create appointment slots.
