Can't recall the link, but a few people said they were rehired at lower pay on contract for their old company (imho I believe they will be severed again when the integration gets better)

I will disagree with that from experience. I'm from a small (under a million) country with a surplus of lawyers... it's corrupted them in the sense that there's not enough work around to make money from being efficient, so they legendarily drag out the cases they can, and there's near-monthly trials of cases of theft from trust accounts. So, no "actually".

So we are the Romans of crypto, doing cool experiments? And it won't take off until the equivalent of worldwide deforestation and peasants freezing in the wintertime?

That's some food for thought. My issue with programming courses is they ask you to memorize the commands then use them; most programming is about creating the logic then QA'ing with some data. Excel is data-first and becomes more like a game, trying different approaches with a clear picture of the end in mind. It's easier to persevere.

Faster growth = less nutritious plants bc they are slow to take up minerals from the soil. But they do produce more sugar. On the other hand the heat may make some plants shrivel, there was an article about the impact of heat on grapes. Tropical pests may persist in cooler climates bc the seasons won't kill then off and the ecosystem doesnt have enough predators yet.

Long titles are the recommended tactic of all the "Make money fast on Amazon!" courses I've seen. Keyword stuffing for the algorithm.

That's what the UL or CE mark is for

One could say marketplace is a category of game field where the rules and objectives are different for many participants. I want to sell my apples for the maximum possible profit today; she wants to sell both her apples at max profit and lettuce at max speed within its shelf life; the customer wants a decent lunch. Different measures for success, different time limits, different strategies in the common marketplace.

Maybe the firefighters, nurses and restaurant staff who work in cities will be able to afford a shorter commute if city housing prices fall?

Many companies tried and failed since the 90's, because most coampanies' software dev is a core group of skilled people using vague specifications to build a product for their first time.

There's not enough tax base to support infrastructure like installing broadband, repairing and winter upkeep of roads and electric grid, fire stations, hospitals. Even businesses like nursing homes which one expects would benefit from lower property costs do not prosper due to lack of population and supportive medical services. Lower COL areas are net users of tax revenue from the country due to inefficiency, cities are net generators to the country.

Free speech had always had limits. Maliciously yelling "Fire!" in a crowded room is an existential threat.

Supply and demand is not a law there is also sensitization and the creation of culture. A city with nice restaurants creates higher value on interesting food. The same applies to music-centred cities and art.

Seen many dive bar regulars 40s to 60s, seeking relief from reality 4 nights a week. Drinking is how they coalesce a social life, but it's created with other problem drinkers. Their drama, commiserating and complaints were really depressing.
