Alcohol is used as a preservative, this being a distillate it should not be surprising that it is still 'fit for consumption'.

I don't know what your MVP is, or even what it stands for. Minimum Viable Product?

But...

5 people per day via a few blog posts doesn't actually sound awful, around 20% of people that are taking a look are sticking around. For me, that's enough to pay my bills (not a lot more), but I'm sure we have a different product.

I think you identify generality being a problem. Split your potential audience into discrete segments that make sense to you (these boundaries of discreteness may shift through time) and interact - ask questions like "Thanks for taking a look. How can we tailor this to your needs more / was there anything you wanted to use this for that you didn't feel you could?" You've got to ask your customers how you can make their life easier, and focus on that need.

Enterprise can have deep pockets, but may need careful understanding not only of their needs, but of who can approve requisition of the product / tool / service you offer. Small enterprises are typically easier in this regard.

General / social are often hard to monetise.

As a bootstrapper that generally avoids (though not always) funding, I'd go for the former, but that's my preference.

Be careful, first of all not all yoga instructors know what they're doing, and secondly you can hurt yourself when doing exercises your body is not prepared for. If you're in your 20s you'll probably handle anything without a problem, but things change when you're older.

For some political background, this comes in the wake of the tremendously successful UANI attempt to get Iran kicked off SWIFT, which showed - after the Wikileaks banking blockade - very clearly just how politically manipulated our financial systems are. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UANI#Leadership

After that success, this is an attempt to go one step further and knock out fundamental civilian and government communications systems... though we can be sure that virtually all internet, satellite, radio and telephony communications out of Iran are already logged and searched by similar parties, seizure of network addresses would be an extremely damaging move.

Time to invest in a Cherry 2000?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urS8GmwmeWQ

(mildly NSFW bad 80s puns)

Despite being insane 80s-post-apocalyptic cheese, Cherry 2000 was quite visionary in this core plot point: when dating requires two lawyers and to negotiate the contractual for your "standard one night arrangement", a lot of people will choose the hassle-free android instead.

From this, we can conclude that teledildontics is probably one of the better long-term investments. :P

With so many different types of yoga out there, BKS stuck out to me as something different and approachable. I was apprehensive when my wife dragged me along the first time, but that quickly changed. The classes are actually about learning the poses, not just doing them. For a beginner with no flexibility like myself it is perfect. The teachers walk you through all the different variations of the poses and help you along the way, so you can actually apply it yourself (properly) when doing it at home. There's also a level of trust for the teachers since it takes them years to become certified from what I've learned.

Highly recommended for anyone interested in yoga. Anyone in the Boston area check out http://www.yoganow.net run by Patricia Walden.

What You Didn’t Know About Your iPhone
>I've been thinking a lot the past few weeks about the preservation of art and goods in general.

I've been thinking about this myself. What i found out is that current copyright law is terrible for preservation of our culture because it makes attempts to archive, share, backup or digitalize abandoned games, music or movies illegal before their copyright expires, at which time, most of them would be probably lost foreever.
The problem with that explanation is that minor drug busts and Stingray training are the more important things.
There's motivation in the relevant part (RV128I Base Integer Instruction Set), starting on page 81 of the 2.0 ISA specification (https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/riscv.org/riscv-spec-v2.0...).

A choice quote:

It is not clear when a flat address space larger than 64 bits will be required. At the time of writing, the fastest supercomputer in the world as measured by the Top500 benchmark had over 1 PB of DRAM, and would require over 50 bits of address space if all the DRAM resided in a single address space. Some warehouse-scale computers already contain even larger quantities of DRAM, and new dense solid-state non-volatile memories and fast interconnect technologies
might drive a demand for even larger memory spaces. Exascale systems research is targeting 100 PB memory systems, which occupy 57 bits of address space. At historic rates of growth, it is possible that greater than 64 bits of address space might be required before 2030.

It seems most of the answers and discussion here revolve around "smuggling" good which are available in both countries. What about goods which are only available in the country of origin? For example, there's a lot of Godzilla and other niche toys only available in Asia which I would love to add to my collection. I don't see why these toys aren't available in the US besides the market size.

I don't see why Backpack would be a "smuggling ring" at that point.
The light interacts with the water molecules.

If you take a large-scale view, you get really good results by using a mathematical model that says that the light is behaves like a wave with a certain speed, and that the speed is slower in water.

If you take a small-scale view, you get decent results by using a model that says that individual photons have a small chance of being absorbed by the water molecules and then new photons are radiated again.

Supposedly there is a quantum mechanical view which applies on all scales and gives even more accurate values, but I have never seen it worked out for something as complicated as the interaction between light and a surface of water molecules. Both of the others I have worked out myself back when I was a physics student.

Not to mention, your costs are irrelevant to the price-point. Think back to your econ101. It's a competitive market, so supply and demand will largely determine the pricing options.

This might be part of the problem. If the potential buyer is aware that selling to him is important, then that gives them leverage.

Just keep in mind that many actions by a startup can be attributed to "we just don't have the money". Meaning, they probably had enough money to pay a lawyer to draw-up/review the contract they're asking you to sign...while they dont necessarily have the money to hire another lawyer to review yours.

I wouldn't be offended, just read it carefully and try to work with them.
