I do think vision habits matter for near sightedness. The human eye, like all mammal eyes, seems adapted for far vision. To bring the focal point in, the ciliary muscle must contract to change the shape of the eye. When it relaxes, the focal point goes back out far away.
In the environment for which we are adapted, most time was spent focusing far away. In the modern world, a person may spend all day, every day, for years on end, focusing on things close up like books and screens. If the ciliary muscle is always contracted, it can get stuck; over time, even change the shape of the eyeball from constant pressure such that the cornea focuses too far in front of the retina, making the image blurry.
Perhaps I was too quick to get glasses when things first started looking blurry. If I had known, I would have tried to get the ciliary muscle to relax by focusing on things far away for at least a time every day. Instead, I went right to the minus lenses but kept my lifestyle of close up work all the time. This led to hyperopic defocus, meaning my ciliary muscle had to continue to contract to focus on near objects through the minus lens.
About 7 years ago I had the thought of improving my vision habits. I will spare HN the details, but my vision (optometrist confirmed) has improved from about -3.5 diopters to -2.25 diopters. I can now do things without glasses including working on the computer, cooking, and reading, for which I am grateful.
I just don't understand why cities in California won't let go of single unit zoning.
Single unit is the most expensive and least efficient zoning rule. Getting rid of it would bring housing costs down.
Ever visit a beautiful city like Paris, Copenhagen, Milan and wonder why we don't have that? It would be illegal to make the buildings they have under our zoning code and parking mandates!
You're not wrong, but it can be a fantastic experience if you do have your own self-hosted node. I run the geth node on a linux server and can connect to it to send blockchain transactions or retrieve information from the chain. Example: my tax prep software took my wallet addresses and found all my uniswap trades by querying the local node.
Car culture apology bullshit. Why aren't there safe places for bikes and peds on those roads too? Why should cars have all the space to the point where it is practically suicidal to be outside a car?
You should check out the NJB you tube links. Stroads aren't fast for car travel. If you want a fast road, design for that. Stroad design gives you the worst of both worlds: slow and terrible for anything other than driving/parking.
Correct, OP seems to be referring to single-collateral DAI aka SAI, which is deprecated. The current DAI is backed by a basket of assets.
IMO, the basket is too heavily weighted towards centralized stablecoins like USDC. I rotated some of my MKR holdings to Terra/Luna, which may have a better peg mechanism (although it is similar to Titan, which exploded).
Both of my ISPs offer IPv6 gateways. I set them up and visited several IP6 websites.
I crypto exchange I use frequently, Bittrex, allows to whitelist an IP address. Since I have a static IPv4, I did so. Problem is, my request to bittrex always goes out the IP6 gateway and Bittrex does not recognize me. I had to shut down the IP6 gateway to get into the account.
Picked up an HP calculator to take the FE exam. The other approved calculators were simple 4 functions calcs. I assumed everyone would be on the HP but I was the only one who had one at the testing center.
