So what I want to do today is tell you a story about how I used my deep understanding of neuroscience, as a professor of neuroscience, to essentially do an experiment

What's even more amazing is it will print out a postage label
on
the spot, because it knows the way of the item.
Yet 99 percent of trades
on
Swaptree happen successfully, and the one percent that receive a negative rating, it's for relatively minor reasons, like the item didn't arrive
on
time.
