For those lacking context: Urea is a component of AdBlue which is used in modern diesel motors. There has been a shortage recently, hence the increase in price.

I almost paraphrased it to meet your launch a bit better, but then I thought that might be a bridge too far with the sarcasm. Very glad you're going down the NFT route, solves so many problems.

It's a past life at the moment. Hopefully one day it will be a problem for me again (pre-launch startup currently).

I have a few qualms with this app: 1. For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Wi

I almost mentioned competitors, I consider buying a competitors product to be an example in support of my argument, and open-source the exception. I too own a copy of Affinity, because I don't use those features enough to justify the r

Right, it was a massive generalization. However, I highly doubt those people are using Windows 98 (insert other example), and they probably did at some point (depending on age, ecosystem etc). They may well not be using the 'most curre

As I mentioned on a thread, one-time purchases are a lie we tell ourselves anyway, and every version of Office or Photoshop (pre subscription). You still have to pay for the newest version with the support for new hardware/OS and featu

Obsidian has a git plugin that I've been using for a while. It's pretty configurable for frequency of commits, and I've never had a problem with it. It is at the end of the day a directory of Markdown files, so it's flex

If you choose to straddle ecosystems there really isn't that much that the likes of Obsidian can do to help though (especially when it comes to iPhone). I use Obsidian with Mac + Android (Synced via Dropbox, and backed up using git) an

There may be differences in taxation, but there are more similarities than differences. Every resident/citizen of EU/US/UK/Australia is subject to income tax at some level. The tax rates are even roughly equivalent[1], a

Ah so many childhood memories. We had an Amiga 500 and then 3000 (40MB HD?), before my parents finally bought me a Mac IIx. So many awesome applications and games. I remember spending hours with this music creator where you could put notes

On playing with this it does initially say 'undown'. If you refresh the page it changes to 'unvote'. You could both be right.

Those freedoms impact on others. It's well known that passive smoking is a major problem[1]. If they want to smoke away from everyone else (and that means everyone), fine. If they want to hang out in a group of consensual smokers, then

klimadao does look interesting, it does have some of the same warning flags (super high APY) as OHM/WAGMI though.

by vertis 5y ago
That APY is misleading in several ways. It implies that if you put $100 in it will be 7250x bigger in a year. But this assumes that the price won't change, i.e. you get one token for $100 now and in a year you can exchange 1 token for

Diamond Age is definitely my favorite, despite the shortcomings at the end. Having said that, "Fall, or Dodge in Hell" is the only book of his that I've struggled to keep reading.

While I was already programming (C, C++ and Java), _why was a big reason for my decision to pick up ruby. I spent quite a few years after with it as my primary language, even now it's my go-to for any side-project and script.

The maxim "The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent" applies (sort of). Just because it's nonsense doesn't mean that a bunch of people aren't going to make significant amounts of money before
