What, did you just associate concerned parents throughout the country to people at Capitol in January? Not all concerned parents are fundamentalist Christians.

It's just not extremely religious parents, and comparing them to Taliban says a lot about you. And who should dictate what kind of material school teach? Who should decide that this is benefitial to children and that is a harmful propa

POSIX isn't very relevant, but the set of basic Linux tools with generally expected features and behaviour is. The difference is that the latter evolves. For example, when GNU tools appeared, people started to prefer them to POSIX tool

Well Debian isn't some BDFL's project, different authors have different visions that sometimes don't agree with each other. With dash, the original advantages put forward were minimalism, higher speed, and POSIX compliance [1

I would, but that is a different problem, not specific to deflationary currency. It can happen whether I have dollars, gold, diamonds, crypto-assets. But with crypto-assets, being non-physical, it is possible to easily hide them and also hi

Most people don't care about ipv4 problems, it works. Does ipv6 solves ipv4 problems such as impossibility to extend it in backwards compatible way? Say, I want 256 bit address space... can IPv6 be extended in that way?

It's supposed to be centralized, no nothing like crypto-assets. More like tighter FED/government control of the "new dollar".

But you could change the bank or use some alternative. If legacy currency is sunset in favor of centrally controlled currency (where the bank has no latitude and just does what central bank says), all those alternatives may disappear.

Being deflationary isn't the problem there. Stealing gold/silver happens because they are small physical objects with objective value that can be stolen from people guarding it with enough people with guns. Stealing crypto-assets

If you only promote the standard formula winners, you risk failing to find the losers that can be eventually better when given the chance. In other words, if the formula isn't perfect, it isn't good to apply it strictly. Some rand

SMH, no scientist would label self as "EU scientist". They are from different countries, so it's "international team of scientists", or "european team of scientists".
