What do you mean "Vaccines are a relatively new technology"? We've had vaccines since 1796 [0] when Edward Jenner developed a vaccine for smallpox, a terrible disease that we fully eradicated thanks to vaccination. A disease

Yet we still pay a "crisisbijdrage" :P It's an additional tax on top of regular corporation tax. EDIT: which seems to have been introduced in 1993 and never removed :-/

Some will die and others will replace them, perhaps with a lull in time in between. Unless something fundamentally changes in the way we “celebrate” culture. Which might be the case. I think those clubs and new music genre’s are driven by y

I guess these Hard Drive Stats post cover disks used for their B2 service as well? Maybe the service mix is changing (a larger percentage being used for B2 versus their traditional backup service). I'm not sure how more B2 access patte

Some of my most productive colleagues work 4/5th. They are often more productive than fulltimers. In most European countries this is normal and not frowned upon. Some countries even protect this option for employees by law.

From what I remember Stellar started as a fork of XRP by Jed McCaleb, who also created XRP. As I understand it, technically it has evolved a lot since then, so I don't know how much of the concept is still shared with Ripple. As for wh
