Hm, I brought it up because its a staple item that everyone seems to need, but upon reflection that would make it a target for subsidy to reduce the inflation metrics.

Reducing the cost of critical goods is sometimes necessary. Should milk cost 20+$/gallon? I understand the appeal ideologically, but in practice what you are suggesting would increase inequality.

This is myth, Ca actually can reduce kidney stones while Na increases the probability they will develop. Ca could have negative cardiac effects above 1200mg per day though. https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/u

CaCO3 and NaHCO3 effect pH in similar ways, Calcium Carbonate is the stronger alkaline buffer though because it can pick up 2 H+ where as bicarb alread has an H+. Both can form bicarbonate ions depending on the pH. lawr.ucdavis.edu/cla

Americans do actually want to do ag jobs, they just expect decent working conditions. Many employeers prefer illegal immigrants because they are more easily exploitable in regards to not only wages, but also safety.

Your intention is irrelevant, limiting your opportunity is not theft. You're using that analogy as an emotional appeal to present the ip holder as a victim. Any competitor could limit your opportunity by releasing a functionally simila

Your candybar arguement is absurd because you can't sell ip direct to consumers. You could manufacture a product that uses it or sell access via some supply limiting portal, but that is much different than actually selling ip. Additio

That is a function of the design implemented. Since you can read a table of figures you can probably also plug them in the heat flux equation in with your own guesses at air gap distances and surface area. The relevant info is that 5 times

He has a conductivity coefficent K (W/mK) = .151 and air = .026. Since everything else in heat flux eq is linear, approximately 5x rate of heat movement per degree that the HD is heated beyond surrounding air is expected.

Sure, but first movers have an advantage due to wider name recognition and in this case a large established market cap and mining network. Unless the underlying tech shifts to somthing more stable or more profitable, last movers are at a di

I doubt that doctors and nurses and teachers are under acknowledged. They deserve a place above a brute warrior for sure, but the education and medical bureaucries are only moderately more humane than our military.

This is not QE. BTC is treated like a physical asset with a fixed quantity, if x reserves of y mineral were found that would not be QE. Discoveries that increase net global value are completely different from altering the amount of a circul

Google can use user prediction to guess which account you are with your browser, ip, ism, mac address, and other persistant metadata. Its how their whole 'you signed in from a new location' security scheme works.
