If you are interested in error-preventing and tamper-proof fund tracking systems, have a look at the UTXO model. Bitcoin and many cryptocurrencies use it, but the actual model predates Bitcoin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&

Burn out detected! Ask me how I know :) I went through the same thing and it took me 5+ years to recover. I'm 42, so we're likely in the same boat. First, don't give up and pick up areas in the industry that require people to

I wonder if a couple of months of strength training wouldn't have been much more effective. And I mean nothing special here. Just grabbing heavy pieces of iron, lifting them up, putting them down.

Why, yes, of course. I wonder if it's possible to run a children's defense organization, or a women rights one, or maybe an agriculture union, and get labeled as terrorist. That would qualify all money transfers to and from your e

I'll give you two reasons. 1. In many countries $6500 is enough to start a business. I'd rather do that than pay for an overpriced piece of aluminum with a piece of fruit etched on one of the sides. What if I'm not the busine
