I’ve taken low dose oral min for a few years and it’s systemic, meaning it’ll make all your hair grow. I now have body hair where before it was never noticeable. “I’m hairy like monkey” as my kids say.

As far as real transactions, they’ve got a way to go. Just releasing NFT support a few months ago.
Additionally EKG’s puts leads all over your chest to get precise electrical measurements. A watch on your wrist isn’t going to be comparable, esp with things like sudden cardiac death. This article takes it even further as you need detailed imaging to really save these types of patients. Since we don’t yet know many of the underlying genetic variants or causes of sudden cardiac death. It’s more common than people realize and often goes undiagnosed or misdiagnosis because it’s hard to detect until too late.
Source: Multiple people in my family have died from sudden cardiac death. All with perfectly normal EKG’s before they passed.
Our two daughters both have unknown heart variants and one of them is on a beta blocker for life since the age of 1 to avoid sudden cardiac episodes. She’s also forbidden to drink stimulants or play certain sports for risk of heart episodes. She looks completely healthy and normal and wants to play as intense as other kids.
This tech could mean that my children don’t have to face the same decision as their elders having to decide between dangerous and expensive surgeries for an unknown risk or living your life in fear.
I can’t tell you how huge this is for us if regular checkups would be enough to say, yes go live and play, enjoy your life. Things look good.
Playing with defi applications and dex’s this week got me pretty excited about where the space is headed.
There are now smart contracts that exist where the admin controls are disabled and users can do things like flash loans where you put up some collateral borrow huge sums of tokenized money and then pay it back in seconds or years later. No paper work, no counter party risk, intermediary is code. You pay gas fees and whatever apr you agreed to. https://dydx.exchange/
Dex’s are becoming awesome, https://uniswap.org is friggin rad. So easy to use.
There’s obviously going to be tons more scams and projects that blow up or get hacked, but out of this will come some very useful finance applications that never existed before.
Terraform plug-in for vscode needs help, lots of people using it and doesn’t much work with terraform 0.12.x https://github.com/mauve/vscode-terraform
Large companies some of the above can still remain true, you get job security through company stability, total comp packages can be much higher and more reliable. Company budgets are bigger so your products can sometimes have a much larger customer impact globally. More availability to move between teams and meet new coworkers or switch offices without much risk.
Medium sized companies are my favorite where the hair on fire foundation was already laid, product market fit is establish, but company is still private and growing quickly. Less risk here but still decent upside and less of the large company regulatory and compliance annoyances that impede velocity.
And in my experience sometimes the size of the company has less to do with quality of life than work culture.
Or brain.fm if I really want no lyrics and to focus.
