How come pen & paper are omitted from both article and discussion?

Feels odd that two feature-equivalent plans are segregated with neighboring duplicates into monthly and yearly branches. I would consider monthly Enterprise & yearly Enterprise the same plan, with modified cost & billing frequency.

How would you then call the objects that store costs and billing frequency? :)

Here's what Stripe uses:

- Product: "describes the goods or services". This is where you define a (plan) name and features.

- Price: defines the amount, currency, and (optional) billing interval. Since interval is optional, Prices can be used to define both recurring, and one-off purchases.

Technically, using Prices for recurring, and one-off payments is a brilliant idea. The problem is, no one refers to recurring payments as "prices". Everyone calls a "$50 per year" option a "plan".

Probably a bad idea to turn to ChatGPT for psychotherapy

There's very little in the article about "how" sound reshapes "networks" in the brain. It's pretty reasonable to expect that hearing different sounds can cause different neurons to fire, though (considering you can upload information into somebody's brain by talking to them).

The important discovery is not that sensory experiences correlate strongly with specific areas of the brain. That's been known for decades. What I think is possibly new here is that the musical waves are genuinely getting "in sync" (temporally). Neuron firing is too slow for this to happen due to the normal conventional interpretation of how the brain works, which is that info travels from synapse to synapse. It essentially disproves the "calculational" (synapse based) model of consciousness, and it proves that even qualia itself is based on waves.

Sure it's possible that something akin to simple harmonic oscillator spontaneous synchronization could be happening (i.e. this: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RYeNu159Sgc) but even if this 'dumb' sync is playing a role it still isn't evidence against the wave-based nature of qualia.

Hard to read. The writing style detracts from the message. I guess the takeaway of the article is that "Lean Startup" is the way to run a company?

I remember some "How it's made" videos where conveyor belts and automation were put to very good use in baking cookies, and such. I take it that this implementation is more artisanal?

edit: The gummies are special because they can potentially glow and deform in a unique way. Interactivity is possibly overstated in this case.

I just want to kick back and code like it's 199NaN

My questions are more along the lines of:

  - Does it liberate people from meaningless employment?
  - Does it give a sufficient platform to people to bootstrap their own trade?
  - Does it give people the runway for meaningful creation / artistic self-actualization?

> There was a point in my road trip when I was on top of a mountain, and it said I would reach the next charger 100km away with 20km of range remaining, but I was only at 90km at the time. I made it with 17km of range remaining.

This is how regenerative braking works

Correct, my point is the software prediction knew almost exactly how much energy would be recovered by it. Supporting my thesis that it is a very accurate system.

Wonder what the returns would look like if they set aside 5% of that sum to fund things like Euro competitors to Shopify & Stripe.
