Love the minimalist look of the cards. I'll try this out in the coming days.
I mean it's no surprise with it being one of the most popular board games right now. I finally got around to purchasing it about a month ago and I really like it as well. Has the perfect balance between simplicity and strategy.
I only know 2 people taking Ozempic and while it is working great for their weight, their quality of life is affected. It removes the want to eat so you almost have to force yourself to eat to get the bare minimum calories. Drinks they have been consuming almost daily for their entire life needed to be cut out (coffee and tea) due to nausea. The doctors just keep increasing the dosage making them feel even more depressed. Not to mention studies show that when they stop taking it they could see their weight go back to pre-Ozempic levels.

The island is only 1.5 acres though. The size is too small to build any significant infrastructure. The island could maybe fit 100 people on it comfortably. I cannot find any reason that someone would want to visit this place for longer than a few hours.

If you haven't read his autobiography, I highly suggest it. His life was awe inspiring and we've lost a great soul of the media industry.

Would this work for just existing products in the supplier marketplace? Or would it somehow enable custom products to be dropshipped?

The advantages for the retailers seems great but what about advantages for the suppliers? Eventually if enough people started using one supplier, they would have so much inventory they would need another warehouse.

I've been working on something similar to this for awhile now, not near completion though. It allows you to subscribe to some websites that include a paywall, for free, including adding your subscription accounts. It's made with Headless chrome and TypeScript.
Re:Tiny Books Fit in One Hand. Will They Change the Way We Read? on Wednesday October 31, 2018 @03:35PM (#18348638)
I'm also in favour of e-books but you do have some notes wrong.

- You can arrange your books chronologically, by author, and other ways on e-book readers, at least the Kindle you can.

- Switching the book on your reader doesn't remove your reading history of the previous book. You can always switch back to a different book and it will be at the same location you left it.

- You have it the wrong way around for price. E-books are majority of the time cheaper than regular books. Also, almost all classic books are available for free through e-books.

- While reading the book on a Kindle, you can click the menu button and it says the Title and Author of the book.

I would like to rebuttal. If there exists any dynamic application, you need some type of data store to keep all of the records, whether it be a persistent database or simply an in-memory database. So, in my opinion, this is a truthy statement.

You must've done some benchmark tests, would it be possible to elaborate on a plethora of different test speeds? Insertions per second, queries per second, calculating sums, etc.
Re:Ask HN: What are the best MOOCs you've taken? on Wednesday April 04, 2018 @10:20AM (#16754908)
I have created a Github repository listing all of the "main" MOOCs here.

The amount of jobs comparable to the other whoishiring aggregator isn't very good but the ability to subscribe is an incredible addition. Good job!

I feel like the real appeal of Bitcoin is the decentralized aspect. I am not totally intrigued at the idea of having a controlled system, even if it offers complete privacy and faster transaction speed.

That's understandable. My apologies.

My thoughts are that the small cartridge is relative to an SD card, or a USB flash drive. The reasons other companies don't use them is because they are expensive to use unlike discs. The speed of the cartridges are faster than discs as well.
