If they were giving it out unevenly it would be unjust. If they were giving it bout evenly, there’d be no difference. Nominally, the price of goods would increase but so would your reserve. So there’be no added incentive to buy.

I'm not looking for anything in particular. I'm at a stage where I know a little about a lot and I don't have the expertise to know what I should dive deeper on. The first thing that comes to mind for you would be great.

I’m under the impression that we are starting with decentralized ledgers with traditional banking. The problem solved by blockchain is the synchronization/balance of payments between the ledgers by just making everyone track the same u

Recently I’ve been a bit disillusioned as all the cleverness of my youth had gone wasted. Albeit the ideas were low hanging fruits but had I had the skills to implement them I think I would have been better off. Now that I do have the skill

This may seem snarky but you should apply similar thinking to the article itself. It might be written in a certain but you don’t have to read it as it’s intended. I’ve learned, grown, and profited a lot around screens but now I’m looking fo

I’m just an idiot but could there be an overlap between abstinence and non-sociability? Are the ones drinking alcohol drinking it with friends? To test this association, Is dementia more common amongst devout Muslims over devout Christians?

Everything I've gotten good at I made it my #1 focus. I will have no problems getting good at things once I retire.

I used to be rather poor so the difference is more pronounced. I've enjoyed a high salary for some time now but I'm still reeling from the change. Being Canadian, I have access to public health, but if I get sick with even minor t

I appreciate the angle but I think it's oversimplified. I work almost just as much as I used to before but my life gets easier and better the more money I make. It's incredible to me the difference money makes. Compound interest i

Because I'm not nearly as good at any hobbies as much as I'm good at my job and being good at something is what gives me day-to-day satisfaction. Having a high wage but not enough stored wealth to feel invincible against an increa

High adaptability means career survival? You don’t say. Front end development has matured around the reactive pattern so of course switching between react and vue is no real challenge. But the maturity of a domain is the commoditization of

I care about materials as a minimalist in that I feel burdened by them. Today, I’m donating a bunch of clothes that still fit me but I don’t wear them anymore. It doesn’t even take up much space but I feel like I’m shedding weight.

Interesting for a second but tiring just a moment after. After the appreciation for labour wears off it becomes suffocatingly garish.

I wouldn’t discount it as a mindset. I am a minimalist despite having decorations in my home. And if I’m part of a tribe, I’m pretty sure I’ve been excommunicated because I don’t make friends over this stuff. What I do do tho is just keep t

Lots of website designs have featured this genre of “cluttered beauty” for many years already. Personally I hate it. It makes everything so difficult to read. IMO it’s unlikely to be featured in interface design as I’m sure past the brandin

Being aware of the broad applications for Linear Algebra in engineering, I'm very eager to go through some Linear Algebra course on my own. But my problem is that I can't just learn from a text, even if it's interactive. I ne
