Tooth tabs are already a thing but theyre quite expensive because none of these companies manufactures for themselves. They all use third party manufacturers and the prices get inflated three-fold. Its still a very up and coming market, and we believe theres quite a lot we can do to make them better and cheaper.

Unfortunately plastic free toothbrushes and flosses are somewhat difficult to sell because people think they want them, but then they realize they fall apart easily and they dont buy them anymore. This is why its tough to find them on the market. But i will keep on the lookout if something comes up

I am actually working on a plastic free toothpaste alternative, we are planning to launch in the next few months. Its not a paste but rather tooth tablets that you crush with your teeth and as they dissolve you brush your teeth as you would normally. Zero plastic, refillable aluminum container, refill packaging made out of paper, and we plan to put free floss and toothbrush for the monthly subscription. Do you want me to add you to our waitlist? Deliquify.com is our website that i hacked together very quickly, but we will rebrand soon.

High school is pretty fun in europe, especially where I am from. First year of high school is when you start drinking alcohol, smoking, going out, parties, girls, really all the cool stuff. Its the period when you step into the world of adolescence. But of course american high school experience is nothing like this and its rather depressing, considering I lived in the US and have known few high schoolers that were family friends of mine. They all were just drowned in homework, stayed at home, and played video games nonstop.

You should make this into a Vivino style app

Not for fun but for oil and riches. Also maybe a tad bit of fun hence the wikileaks leaks

We did. Lets get together and practice mock interviews. Msg me on twitter @AndreyKocevski

Thank you! We'll email him!

I dont know, it seems possible though and I see no reason why they wouldnt do it

Founder of a CBDC startup here. We do fully offline smartcard-based CBDC wallets and offline payment protocols, similar to what Mondex was doing in the 90s. This article is very well written, the potential risks stated are mostly true. Our product effectively mitigates most of the downsides and risks since it works completely offline. Its essentially like a credit card that doesn't need external networks such as internet or GSM to operate, its fully peer-to-peer (in this case card to card). If you want to cash out the funds on the card you can just go to the Central Bank (CB) or some Authorized Financial Institution (AFI) and tell them you want to get your money out. The cash control policies are literally the same as cash, there are some upper limits on what amounts you can pay without reporting, and how much you can hold per card. Also the cards are issued with KYC/AML procedures.

CBDCs are a double-edged sword, they can be used by tyrannical governments to enforce surveillance and bigger control, or they can be used by Central Banks to enter the retail digital currency space (which can make digital transactions cheaper, more accessible, and can also make the difference between Retail Bank and Central Bank interest rates lower. To some extent Central Banks also feel threatened by Bitcoin and other decentralized digital currencies). I have no doubt countries will abuse this if implemented, but I also have no doubt that countries with protected liberties will make sure it doesn't cross into surveillance thats outside of the current standard...

Also, its actually much worse with credit card payments. Even Bitcoin is traced significantly (there are multi-billion dollar companies that solely work with governments and financial institutions to trace cryptocurrencies). Also cash is not as anonymous as one might think. Bigger sums are always traced and recorded with the serial numbers on the banknotes, and theres always upper limits of 2K-10K eur of how much you can pay with cash without reporting.
