https://aragon.org/aragon-govern seems to be a landing page. There is no list of thousands of LAOs. Is it hidden behind some link perhaps? Also you explicitly say LAO instead of DAO. Under which country's jurisdiction

I cannot really know that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were really bombed. All I saw is maybe 10 photos in my lifetime. It could as well have been staged. Yes, the consensus is that they were bombed... but I wasn't there, you know what I mea

ETL on streams? To be pedantic, does that even make sense? Extract, transform and load... a batch of data. But a stream?
