There are grams, eighths, quarters, ounces, and the list keeps going. All of this may seem overwhelming at first, but marijuana weight conversions are actually pretty simple.\n<p></p>\nKnowing the weight conversions is important, but you’ll need a scale to know exactly what amount you have. You can pick up a digital scale on Amazon for less than $10. \n<p></p>\nGrams\n<p></p>\nGrams are typically the smallest amount of weed that you would buy. Some people may sell you less; however, a gram is pretty standard if you’re looking to make a small purchase.\n<p></p>\nWhat exactly is a gram? Technically a gram is “the absolute weight of a volume of pure water equal to the cube of the hundredth part of a metre, and at the temperature of melting ice.” Please do not remember that last sentence.\n<p></p>\nDepending on your tolerance, a gram may last you a few smoke sessions. Alternatively, you can roll a gram into one blunt and blast off to the moon.\n<p></p>\nEighths\n<p></p>\nAn eighth = 3.5 grams.\n<p></p>\nEighths are great for people who smoke somewhat regularly. An eighth refers to 1/8 of an ounce. You will almost always get a better price if you buy an eighth instead of a gram. In fact, price cuts are often given at each of the intervals discussed here.\n<p></p>\nSome people will also sell half-eighths, which should really be called a sixteenth. It’s 1.75 grams.\n<p></p>\nQuarter\n<p></p>\nA quarter = 2 eighths = 7 grams\n<p></p>\nA quarter is often referred to as a ‘quad’. A quarter is 1/4 of an ounce. If you are buying a quarter then you are probably preparing to get pretty stoney. I commend this decision. Even if you don’t smoke every day, buying a quarter will keep you from having to re-up all the time.\n<p></p>\nHalf\n<p></p>\nA half = 2 quarters = 4 eighths = 14 grams\n<p></p>\nA half refers to 1/2 of an ounce. See, I told you – these conversions really aren’t that tricky. At this point, you’re throwing a party, and I want to be there.\n<p></p>\nOunce\n<p></p>\nAn ounce = 4 quarters = 8 eighths = 28 grams\n<p></p>\nAn ounce is often referred to as an O. It’s hard to describe the feeling of having an ounce of weed to yourself. The word ‘elated’ is pretty good, but still doesn’t do it justice.\n<p></p>\nPound\n<p></p>\nA pound = 16 ounces = 64 quarters = 128 eighths = 448 grams\n<p></p>\nLet’s be honest. If you’re looking to buy this much weight then you’re probably not smoking it all yourself (unless Snoop is reading this). At this point you probably should have already figured out these conversions.\n<p></p>\nYou can also buy quarter pounds, half-pounds, etc. Again, by this point you should have this thing figured out.\n<p></p>\nKilo\n<p></p>\nIf you’re using the metric system (we all should be, but what can you do, right?) you’re going to be using kilos, or kilograms.\n<p></p>\nA kilogram = 1000 grams\n<p></p>\nLike I mentioned earlier, if you’re new to this, and aren’t familiar with what each amount should look like then I highly recommend picking up a digital scale. There are a few visual guides, but different buds have different densities so the same weight doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the same volume.\n<p></p>\nDimes, Nickels, and Dubs\n<p></p>\nYou’ll notice I didn’t cover these terms with the rest. This is because these terms do not refer to weight. Instead, they refer to dollar amounts – $10, $5, and $20 respectively. For more info check out my article: How Much Is A Dime of Weed? + Dub Sacks and Nickel Bags.\n<p></p>\nSource: http://maryjanesdiary.com",

      "body": "Blockchain technology has the potential to change the world as much as the internet, but it faces legal challenges. The technology is already being adapted by banks, so we must work to understand its uses, benefits, and drawbacks. \n<p></p>\nWhat is Blockchain?\n<p></p>\nBlockchain is a decentralised network in which each ‘block’ represents a piece of information as computer code. When a transaction takes place, it is recorded on a completely transparent public ledger (database) and chained to every previous transaction that the piece of data is involved in using a digital signature.\n<p></p>\nThe system cuts out middlemen and bureaucracy, providing a trust-based system of exchange. Rachel O’Dwyer, of Trinity College Dublin, says in an essay, “the blockchain is presented as an algorithmic tool to foster trust in the absence of things like social capital, physical colocation, or trusted third-party management.”\n<p></p>\nThe most famous use of the system is to support the cryptocurrency Bitcoin, which has become notorious for its use on the darkweb, but which has the potential to act as a currency to buy anything. Dr. Catherine Mulligan, a Fellow and an Expert of the World Economic Forum for Blockchain Technologies, says in the video below that it could have a “Foundational impact on the way our society runs, the way our government runs, the way that we interact with one another — not just in economic transactions, but on a day-to-day basis.”\n<p></p>\nIts use is on an ever upward trajectory: top banks have started using blockchains, the U.S government has awarded $2.25 billion to research projects, and bitcoin is becoming increasingly valuable.\n<p></p>\n<iframe width=\"670\" height=\"377\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/4sm5LNqL5j0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe>\n<p></p>\nWhat are the Legal Issues?\n<p></p>\nLike any innovative and potentially all-pervasive system (people have commonly compared it to the internet), there are some legal issues that need to be traversed.\n<p></p>\nBecause it is decentralized, it facilitates illegal transactions. Money laundering and acquiring digital assets are hard, because in digital banking an individual has to go through a middleman and there are meetings, intimacy, or exchange between parties who know each other. Because blockchain exchange is conducted under pseudonyms, the parties do not know each other, but more importantly can claim that they do not. As most countries operate on a principle of Know Your Customer, in a financial system in which the customer is not validated or ratified, illegal activity becomes easier.\n<p></p>\nSmart contracts may be long-term detrimental. Smart contracts use the blockchain to decrease transactional friction (the economic inefficiency caused by processing a transaction) and provide a way for individuals to exchange without the middleman. However, the contracts are often too simple to cater for fiscal or legal complexities, meaning that if a problem arises they may be insufficient to help resolve it.\n<p></p>\nLinked to the above point is that the legal system will take time to adapt to evidence derived from blockchain. Even if contracts are complex enough, the legislative system and lawyers need time to understand and handle the evidence and how it can be used. However, blockchain is already fairly widespread in its use, meaning that over the next few years we could see incorrect legal decisions because of misinformation.\n<p></p>\nWhat are the Benefits?\n<p></p>\nBlockchain has the potential to decrease bureaucracy, democratize data, decrease risk, decentralize banking, and make asset management far easier.\n<p></p>\nSpecific uses for it include showing where your tax money is being spent, ensuring food and raw materials are ethically sourced, giving citizens in developing countries the capability to challenge unfair land seizure. Imogen Heap is proposing using it to save the music industry and ensure artists receive a fair deal to counter the mercenary approach of Spotify; the World Food Program is using it to feed the world’s poorest families.\n<p></p>\nIts rise or fall depends entirely on how it is legislated, and this is the tension at the heart of it. This is a system that is being used by both the world’s biggest banks and to buy drugs online, that is precisely designed to be decentralized and uncontrolled, so how can we ensure it is used for good and not abused? That it is accruing value perhaps shows the beginning of financial trust, which could develop into total trust in a more transparent and democratized world.\n<p></p>\nReferences: The Next Web, Computer World\n\nSource: https://futurism.com",

The plan, announced in a Ted Talk last month, is to “go all the way from a parking lot in California to a parking lot in New York with no controls touched in the entire journey.”\n<p></p>\nThere are also updates concerning the autonomous driving system for Tesla vehicles. In response to some finding the driving experience uncomfortable after the speed limit was lifted last month, the company has updated the software for a smoother ride, and now the experience is “as smooth as silk.”\n<p></p>\nhttps://steemitimages.com/DQmRgvgEfvT5n14VR7dhwSmKgwx4ANrP4zrtcCD96w4SJWe/Screen-Shot-2017-05-22-at-10.26.27.png\n<p></p>\nThe speed limit on the vehicles was limited to 145 km per hour (90 mph) on highways and no more than 8 km per hour (5 mph) over the speed limit when off highway. In addition to this, the new update should feature a perpendicular parking capability and auto windshield-wipers.\n<p></p>\nDriverless Cars\n<p></p>\nThis is the latest in a series of updates concerning Musk’s plans for a driverless future. Earlier this month, he revealed that he wants beat traffic by digging tunnels under Los Angeles with his Boring Company.\n<p></p>\nMusk is adamant about the safety of autonomous vehicles, saying at a press conference that people who opposes them are “killing people.” His vision was  reinforced by Morgan Stanley’s Tesla analyst Adam Jonas, who said to Electrek, “if the company achieves its goal, [it would] be an order of magnitude (i.e. 10x) safer than the average car on the road.”\n<p></p>\nMusk’s goal is to give his Tesla vehicles completely autonomy in order to make them safer and faster: the test at the end of the year and the new software updates move him — and us — closer to that future.\n<p></p>\nReferences: Twitter, Vanity Fair\t\n\nSource: https://futurism.com",

      "body": "A New Way to Pay\n\nA variety of new payment methods, processors, and banking tools that use smartphones will revolutionize the way we use money — particularly for small businesses and developing countries. Polish futurist Piotr Turek stated in an interview with Thomas Frey that, “in less than five years, smartphones, watches, and other devices will replace credit/debit cards, wallets, lenders, stockbrokers, and insurance agents.”\n\nSo, what technologies and enterprises are acting as a catalyst to a cashless, cardless society? Sumsung Pay, Apple Pay, and Google Pay — to name a few. Numerous technology giants are launching mobile payment and banking applications that only require the user to have a smartphone to pay for products. Start-ups, which include B, Starling, and Monzo (which raised £1 Million in 96 seconds in its crowdfund during March, 2016) have also had success in the sector.\n\n<iframe width=\"670\" height=\"377\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/i0FYkGpVpdQ\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe>\n<p></p>\nThese ventures are booming most in developing countries, in which banking is difficult due to a lack of physical banks. A 2016 report by the Global Economic Governance Program found that nine of the 10 top mobile banking companies were in Africa. But these technologies and businesses could have a big impact on first-world economies as well.\nBetter Business\n\nMobile points of sale are replacing the need for cash registers. Examples include Square and Shopkeep, which reduce the start-up costs for businesses. These can be integrated with other apps to provide small businesses with management, project planning, and payment tools, greatly decreasing the cost and learning curve for small business owners.\n\nThe use of these mobile banking tools makes managing finances: quicker, because there is no need to go through banks and money transfers are often instantaneous; easier, because app’s interfaces are designed to be as simple as possible; and more secure, because there are no physical cards and money to steal, and even if a phone is stolen, one cannot access money without a passcode.\n\nAs more and more of the mobile banking and payment solutions integrate into blockchain cryptocurrencies (purely digital currencies), security and speed will increase even more. IBM has stated that 15 percent of big banks will be using blockchain by the end of 2017, and the fact that many major banks have recently joined the R3 blockchain gives testament to this prediction. The popularity of bitcoin is reflected in its ever increasing exchange rate.\n\nAn interesting potential consequence of payment being conducted over blockchain more and more could be a universal global currency, as blockchain is capable of functioning using only cryptocurrencies. As Turek said in the interview, “There is a good chance that we will have a default global currency arise from the cryptocurrency movement.”\n\nReferences: Business Insider, Futurist Speaker\nSource: https://futurism.com",

      "body": "The Rise of Bitcoin\n\nBitcoin (for its history, see this infographic) has experienced unprecedented success since their domain name was registered on anonymousspeech.com. Monday, it was reported that the single bitcoin hit a landmark point, reaching $2,251.61 dollars, which far exceeds the price of gold. Its exchange rate has increased in 23 of its past 26 sessions. It has been the top performing currency every year since 2010 (besides 2014). By the summer, it will be accepted at more than 260,000 stores in Japan, since it is officially legal tender in the country. The verdict against the Winklevoss Twins to not allow it to enter the U.S stock exchange may, in the wake of this success, be overturned.\n\nAll of this seems to point to Bitcoin becoming a currency on par with the Dollar, Pound, Yen or Euro; or — because of its decentralized and digital nature — it could become the global currency.\n\nhttps://futurism.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/11995616656_79cbd56bc5_k-1-1200x900.jpg\nBitcoins. Image Credit: PROfdecomite, Flickr\n\nWhy This Might Not be so Great\n\nThese figures, however, may not tell us the whole story. “All that glitters is not gold.”\n\nThe first thing that Bitcoin will have to do to continue its rise is to become more stable. The reason Bitcoin is so successful is also the reason it could fail. It has the ability to swing and shift extremely quickly: we need only look at when it dropped 15% in a matter of minutes in response to the Winklevoss Twin’s ETF verdict. One key characteristic of a successful currency, rather than its worth as an asset, is stability, which Bitcoin has not yet achieved.\n\nSecond, it will need to increase its transaction speed. In comparison with payment processors like Visa, the number of transactions Bitcoin can process is tiny: around 7 compared to thousands. This is because of each transaction has to be validated and verified by an individual due to it being part of a blockchain. And, even though it has the potential to stretch to 27, unless this value is increased there will forever be a serious limitation to how much bitcoin can grow.\n\nThird, these exciting new figures may be artificially caused by an indirect centralization (centralization not through the legal process, but by market means — similar to a hostile takeover of a company). While Bitcoin is an uncentralized currency, if an individual miner (or collection of miners) take control of most of the mining then they are able to abuse the majority loophole, created as a democratic foundation of the currency. This would also allow the individual or group to rewrite the blockchain. As the majority of the miners are Chinese companies, and demand for the currency is increasing in the country due to the value of domestic currency falling, some fear the rise of state control in a system designed to be anti-state.\n\nReferences: MIT Technology Review, Futurism , Forbes\t\nSource: https://futurism.com",

Would we finally be an interplanetary species, conquering Mars and other cosmic objects in our Solar System — or beyond?

So, all of the events featured in the video are purely evidence-based speculations. They’re plausible based on what we currently know, but we could never be sure of these predictions. However, it’s worth traveling forward in time, at least visually, to explore.\n\nFor one, in this future prediction, it is most likely that there will be a lot of cataclysmic extinction events. In 10,000 AD, a new, perhaps more realistic, version of Y2K could cause the failure of computers and all that depends on them — which, by then, would most likely be literally everything. There is even the possibility that a couple of asteroid collisions and a solar burst that could make life on Earth impossible a few thousand years later.",

      "body": "Physicists at the University of Houston have discovered a low-cost, efficient, and easily available catalyst that can split water into hydrogen and oxygen. The catalyst is far more efficient than other options that have previously been employed, and because it is grown from ferrous metaphosphate on a conductive nickel foam platform, it is both more durable and cheaper to produce.\n\n“Cost-wise, it is much lower and performance-wise, much better,” lead author and Anderson professor of physics Zhifeng Ren, M.D. told the University of Houston News. “Some catalysts are outstanding but are only stable for one or two hours. That’s no use.”\n\nBreaking water down into its components — oxygen and hydrogen — is theoretically simple, but practically complex. The process demands two separate reactions, each with its own electrode; one reaction evolves hydrogen, and one evolves oxygen. While hydrogen is the component that is sought after in this process, it can’t be attained without producing oxygen — and that’s the issue. Efficient oxygen catalysts, unlike the readily available hydrogen catalysts, are hard to find, and that’s where this discovery comes into play.\n\nThe evolution of oxygen usually depends upon electrocatalysts that use expensive “noble metals” such as ruthenium, platinum, or iridium. “In this work, we discovered a highly active and stable electrocatalyst based on earth-abundant elements, which even outperforms the noble metal based ones,” Principal investigator Shuo Chen told the UH News. “Our discovery may lead to a more economic approach for hydrogen production from water electrolysis.”\n\nhttps://futurism.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/water-splitting.png \n\n\nClean Energy Options\n\nEither electric current or photocatalysis can trigger water splitting. However, since water absorbs only a narrow section of the light spectrum, the direct solar-powered splitting of water is too inefficient. Instead, using solar to power the electrical current used to split water molecules and produce hydrogen for energy is a better plan. Hydrogen, when produced, is one of the best renewable energy sources. It is stored easily, unlike solar or wind power, and, using solar to produce hydrogen eliminates the carbon footprint left by producing hydrogen through traditional methods like coal gasification or steam methane reforming.\n\n“Hydrogen is the cleanest primary energy source we have on earth,” Texas Center for Superconductivity chief scientist Paul C. W. Chu told UH News. Now that these researchers have discovered a way to produce hydrogen cheaply with no carbon footprint, this may very well be the green energy source of tomorrow.\n\nReferences: Uh, Applied Materials and Interfaces\t\nSource: https://futurism.com",

Each of the company’s Soundwave Tattoos can correspond to a minute of audio. By scanning the tattoo using the Skin Motion app, the wearer can hear whatever is represented in their soundwave.\n\n<iframe width=\"670\" height=\"377\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/ubVaqWiwGVc\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe>\n\nSkin Motion’s website calls its tattoos “a new way to share your most personal self-expression,” and for added creative freedom, the soundwave can even be embedded as negative space within another picture, as shown in the Baci the singing dog example below.\n\n<iframe width=\"670\" height=\"377\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/wVsXARjQc_w\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe>\n\nOther Uses of AR\n\nSkin Motion’s technology is an ink-and-needle extension of previous efforts that use transferable tattoos to interact with smartphones.\n\nResearchers at Saarland University in Saarbrücken, Germany, have developed skin-worn “buttons” called SkinMarks that allow wearers to control their smartphone. The temporary devices are also electroluminescent, which means they light up when an electrical current is passed through them. DuoSkin is another example. The prototype developed by Microsoft and MIT Research in 2016 uses a transferable gold leaf pattern to allow the wearer to control a smartphone, store data, and communicate with other devices via near field communication (NFC).\n\n7 Incredibly Ambitious Virtual Reality Projects\n\nAugmented reality (AR) technology that imposes computer-generated media over the real world isn’t just limited to tattoos — it’s also being integrated into other aspects of our lives.\n\nIn April, Michael Abrash, chief scientist at Facebook-owned Oculus Research, claimed that AR glasses could replace smartphones in the next five years. These glasses could potentially allow us to see notifications, read information about the world around us, and take videos or photographs using embedded cameras. Lightform, due to ship in late 2017, can be used in conjunction with projectors to superimpose pictures all around you, essentially turning your home into a huge controllable screen.\n\nWhether it’s through our phones and glasses or our homes and even our skin, augmented reality is changing how we interact with the world around us. Before long, these augmentations will blend seamlessly with everything else, forever changing what it means to experience “the real world.”\n\nReferences: Refinery29, Duoskin, SkinMarks\t\nSource: https://futurism.com",

      "body": "In March, Elon Musk announced his gambit to merge human and machine with a Brain Computer Interface (BCI) called Neuralink. \n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZrGPuUQsDjo\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe>\n\n\nThis technology would take the form of an injectable “neural lace” — composed of a mesh of electrodes — that would augment the human brain, adding another layer to the cortex and limbic system that is capable of communicating with a computer (essentially creating cyborgs). This, hypothetically, creates an upgradable, updatable interface that could be applied in countless ways. Some of these include:\n\nControlling Computers With Your Mind\n\nBrains and technology both operate using the same vectors: electricity and data. Musk’s Neural Lace would be a system that provides a way for them to communicate directly with each other. To borrow a simile from Phillip Alvelda, the Neural Engineering System Design (NESD) program manager (another nascent BCI), “Today’s best brain-computer interface systems are like two supercomputers trying to talk to each other using an old 300-baud modem […] Imagine what will become possible when we upgrade our tools.” Applications could stretch from the remote operation of technology to the completely hands free and voiceless operation of computers. Researchers in Korea have already used a BCI to control turtles.\n\nUpdating Your Mind or Communicating With Someone Else’s\n\nElon Musk’s idea could both initiate brain activity and monitor it. The technology does not necessarily have to be a one-way communication stream, it is capable of both sending messages and creating information in the brain. The high-bandwidth interface could allow you to wirelessly transmit information to the cloud, to computers, or even directly to the brains of other people with a similar interface in their head. There is also the possibility of downloading content to augment your consciousness: think Neo learning kung-fu in the Matrix. While initial tests to improve intelligence haven’t been too successful, if brains and computers speak the same language, then computers can impart information to the brain. The technology is currently being used to allow paralyzed people to communicate, but its uses could extend far beyond that.\n\nBionic Limbs That Feel Like Real Limbs\n\nAs part of this two-way communication stream, robotic arms could communicate fleshy messages by being connected to existing nerve structures. Rather than making the brain learn how to use a new part of the nervous system, robotic limbs could be quickly and easily integrated into the system. This has the potential to revolutionize prosthetic limbs for the disabled, but may also encourage people to rid themselves of their biological arms in favour of mechanical super limbs. Who knows!\n\nEmotionally Aware Technology\n\nAs computers and brains would essentially be speaking the same language, emotions could be read as data using electrodes. This would shift technology’s perception of humans from basic recognition to complex understanding. Robot helpers would be able to adapt to your emotional state rather than just responding to commands. Photos and videos could also be implanted with emotional metadata, meaning that one could feel what it would be like to be in any given scenario, rather than just trying to imagine it.\n\nNext Generation Adaptable Gaming\n\nOne issue with the lifespan of games is repetition; people become accustomed, know what to expect, or are limited by the programmed narrative. A BCI could improve this situation by having games respond to what your brain is feeling, remaining one step ahead and endlessly diverse. This would be most applicable to the horror genre, in which enemies could come at you when and where you least expect it, providing constant shocks, jumps, and thrills. The Black Mirror episode Playtest is an hour long exploration of just how terrifying this could be. Since AI has been shown to be as creative as a human composer, this reality could be surprisingly close.\n\nReferences: Inverse, Futurism\nSource: https://futurism.com",
