I don't see why we don't just DNA fingerprint the entire population. It will make the world much safer as the chances of getting away with a crime are heavily reduced. There's still due process and the presumption of innocenc

To be fair, retail stock market investors behave exactly the same. I do wonder who is still in crypto for the tech, at least in europe I don't know any senior dev that speaks positively about blockchains from a technical POV

In case your code theory is a bit rusty, practically this means that recovering from transmission errors (bitflips, lost packets) will be faster if this encoder is used. It will lower CPU requirements on routers and network infrastructure i

Competing heads-on with Google makes no sense; They already nailed the product on desktop and they are decades ahead in R&D. At most you can attack it from a niche like voice-activated search, video search, Smart TV searches or car-sear
