agp2572 | 1 year ago | on: Why America's economy is soaring ahead of its rivals

I would argue the opposite. If you compare US dollar to every other currency the value of their currency has decreased a lot compares to US dollar. This would be a plus to hold US dollar as their own currency has depreciated and holding more dollars has helped them reduce their losses. But it has one down side is that if you hold too much US dollar the country exposes itself to US monetary policy.

There is a theory that if your body is not exposed to enough good bacteria and other pathogens then it will build up an army to fight out non important things like pollen and peanuts. I would recommend giving kids probiotics and also not keeping environment so clean with wipes and excessive hand washing that they never get exposed to good and some bad germs.

agp2572 | 3 years ago | on: How a dangerous stew of air pollution is choking the United States

I feel the conclusion that vehicles are responsible for this is not the only explanation. I live in LA area and on Thanksgiving Day there were strong Santa Ana winds. Usually those winds bring dry air and have good strength to push out all of the air particles giving a clear view. I have noticed the visibility is less when it is more humid compared to dry and also when the air is pushed away with some winds. Agree air quality is not the best but also not worse either and better than I assume what it used to be.

People before have given word that they plan to lead the expedition to space and have given timeline of seven years since this TED talk in 2007. So far no expedition to Moon has happened led by this speaker https://www.ted.com/talks/bill_stone_explores_the_earth_and_...

"Talk about space always seems to be hung on ambiguities of purpose and timing. I would like to close here by putting a stake in the sand at TED. I intend to lead that expedition. (Applause) It can be done in seven years with the right backing. Those who join me in making it happen will become a part of history and join other bold individuals from time past who, had they been here today, would have heartily approved." - Bill Stone (TED 2007)

This is very interesting and great work on it but I feel in reality the problem being solved does not benefit people a great deal that they will be willing to spend a lot of money or spend a lot of effort trying to configure things around them. The interface is easy to most but from doing home automation it does require a higher skill set to configure physical buttons or input devices to do what you want on another physical device.

How does your team try to combat the cost and the effort required by making this as economical as possible and also easy to use such that a person who is a beginner at technology such as using smart phones, computers, etc. can use it.
