They had a coherent response strategy, this in itself was and still is an ongoing failure by multiple metrics. One thing that saved us was the few areas that bucked the "coherence", yet achieving similar or better results. &quot

Under scrutiny where exactly? VAERS? I get my "news" on vaccines from PubMed, the Lancet, the BMJ, etc. All such sources show at best disagreement over safety, at worst, unsafe. It's not hyperbolic, deranged, or lacking in in

The first question is irrelevant and affects nothing - the same owner proves ownership of both at the outset, if they choose to let the legacy version expire, well they chose that - so who cares what happens to it? I suppose it could be con

There's a simple solution for that: to buy a domain on-chain that has an equivalent off-chain, the existing owner first needs to prove ownership of that equivalent domain. After, it can be sold freely (as uniques could already). The on

And yet, it doesn't appear to have hurt my ability to quickly and easily locate information regarding any of those languages.

You might find ARM assembly interesting, especially the simpler 16-bit "thumb" subset used on various embedded devices (eg, RP2040). It was apparently inspired by the 6502 ISA, and still exhibits many similarities to this day.

Is the github language summary indicative of relative LoC between implementations, or are there other factors? C++ 24.9% Python 19.5% Rust 12.5% PHP 9.5% Zig 9.4% Nim 8.0% Other 16.2% And very interesting! Would love to

Ah, reading back, I think you misinterpreted my use of the word "random". It was intended to highlight how easy it was for me to locate a high quality article on the topic that even I hadn't previously seen before. As such, w

There were two links provided in my post, one with it's own decent links and another from investing.com regarding action by the Bank for International Settlements (the Bank of Banks) - so I'm not sure what you're on about?

What is "it"? There are thousands of cryptocurrencies, many pegged to fiat. There's no shortage of price-stable options, but this isn't so relevant for this kind of remittance anyway as typically the crypto will only be

Maybe because the fruits of those few well-intentioned founders labours aren't blasted on the news 24/7 like SBF was, doesn't mean they don't exist? I've seen people in parts of South America where the banking syste

See, this is a fair criticism, and founded. Note also how similar it is to FTX - it's bad actors pretending to champion principles they are actually working against, whether unwittingly or otherwise. The part I would disagree on, is wh

There needs to be a differentiation between good and bad actors in this drama as opposed to the lazy and inaccurate idea of "the crypto grift". These recent billion-dollar grifts plaguing crypto have primarily been enabled by acto

Audio is super cheap, and easy to index. Releasing it all has zero downside yet enables better investigation. Even things like dead-air pops/hums could potentially offer clues. (And an unbroken timeline is important in and of itself.)

Oh I hear you - I can't stand talking about nothing/"small-talk". Anytime a conversation feels too forced for too long, I find a way out. Sounds like you value genuine interaction, which can be harder to find. But most w

This is a good point - effort can lead to essential social counterbalance. Someone I enjoy time with for the different POV however, may be more likely to also not be what I'd think of as a friend. (An uber driver for example.) Perhaps

Sure it can happen like that, but it's not the only way. No effort is required to begin a friendship that happens automatically. Both naturally organise a next meet, and/or already have reason to and/or happily can't avo

These points seem to be about maintaining existing relationships. The OP was asking about beginning them. These are different phases with different levels of excitement, coincidence and time-allocation built-in.

The ones that are worth it happen by themselves. If one or both people are mainly trying to make friends, the driving force is transient & non-intrinsic - at odds with that which endures. Whereas with relationships that "just hap

The combination of "simulator" and "online" in the post title & URL had me convinced this was a web-based simulation. Consequently, I spent longer than I should've trying to tap the buttons on the screenshot.

The media has controlled the narrative, but it's also in free-fall - victim of its own excesses - as people move to alternatives. I don't believe we'll see violent revolution either, but I do believe we'll see real chang

I guess practical is a term that changes somewhat based on the level someone is at. As more of a beginner, the book looks great. Eg, for a beginner it's highly practical to learn how to read resistor bands or calculate Ohm's law.

Interesting history I had no idea about. Thanks for sharing, will keep an eye out for the original. Sad that sometimes credit is not given where it's due.

Mostly agree. The point of my bringing up the Chinese story was to highlight how far medicine, and apparently only medicine, seems to diverge from common principles, and - expounding later - how this is coincident with its failures. Somethi
