I met up with a pro TV writer I know and he said he was so happy the season was over because he could finally go to a mattress store and buy a new mattress. He said he didn't have time to do it for the last X months.

Basically being a TV writer is like working in video games; there's another person right behind you who would love to have your job because of the perceived glamor so terrible conditions persist.

I.e. the emperor has too much kb.

Smart lights are the killer app for Alexa. There's no going back once you have it. And the only thing keeping most people from getting smart lights is the cost which will fall.

White label exchange providers openly advertise wash trading as a feature. Also many provide liquidity from other exchanges so using aggregate market cap across exchanges is extremely inaccurate.

Also winter. Most of the dense cities in the U.S. also have significant winter weather that makes biking less ideal.
