> If a significant number of companies waited those 3 months to invest, there would be no deflation.
And little economic activities in the meantime (because all those investment deals wouldn't occur).
At the equilibrium, you'll have zero deflation and a growth which is way below its potential (it could even be a recession, slowly converging toward zero growth). That sounds fantastic doesn't it ?
If a cryptcurrency grows large enough to be the size of an economy, the value of the cryptocurrency should grow or shrink with the economy, like a stock market index. At that point keeping money in the cryptocurrency should be similar to keeping it in an index fund.
There's plenty of people who does revolutionary work after their 30s.
Look at current nobel prize winners in physics for example. Many of them weren't young when they did their most important work. I read an article about this some time ago, but I wasn't able to find it at the moment.
Yes -- biology is 100% Word (some bioinformatics is done in LaTeX), and there is a whole industry of commercial products like EndNote which exist to handle citations and bibliographies in Word. Which is really weird. You'd think Microsoft would have added bibliographic management by now.
(La)TeX is great when you don't want to manually handle formatting your text. I loved writing LaTeX for the simple reason that I could focus on the content, rather than having to constantly work on the presentation. The markup was simple enough that it did not get in the way.
Barring technical problems I much prefer LaTeX to Word or LibreOffice Writer.
Where I live you need a copy of your passport to port a number, in addition the new sim can only be sent to your government registered address, I think that would be quite hard to game.
Even so, hackers can still use SS7 to hijack phone numbers.
Not all kids I went to school with is alive, for example there was one guy who one day went fast down a hill on his bicycle, straight onto the road and was hit by a car.
One guy I know let his four year old play outside, just for a short while without supervision, he fell into a pond and drowned.
I always felt safe when I was five years old playing outside by myself though, even though I sometimes went several kilometers into the forest. There was no cars there and I was already a good swimmer, so I can't really imagine anything could have happened though.
