Presumably it has value in that it makes it easy to integrate Qur'an content into an existing application. Beyond that, it seems like this could be used as a base for adding new translations, commenting and conversation on particular v

Planetes is one of my favorite anime series. I think it's very well done. I highly recommend it! Edit: If you have trouble finding a way to watch it [it's a bit obscure] please shoot me a dm and I can probably help you out.

Using cloth bags as an example feels so frustrating to me because banning them seems to so obviously be addressing things other than the embodied carbon represented by the particular container you bring your groceries home with. A low-quali

On one hand, the 'digital gold' aspect of bitcoin make it attractive for countries that want access to a non-US-dollar currency. However, it seems like the most sane version of such a system would basically use a private blockchai

Just fyi - Police are generally quite well paid for the area they live in. For example, in Alameda (the county I live in) it's common for police to make over $450,000 a year[1]. Also, while police to have a more-dangerous-than-average
