Crypto's been around for over a decade dude. How many decades do you want? Why would I ever build a business around an Ethereum smart contract when I could just write a normal contract, and then I know the courts will enforce it even i

Actually, I can Venmo or Paypal people instantly, not in 3 days... and everyone I would want to send money to (people I know IRL in my country, or businesses worldwide who are legally able to sell to me in my country) is able to use it. You

I remember that time, and no, it was nothing like crypto. A better analogy would be electric vehicles today. Yes, a loose analogy can be made in that there was a hyped technology that some people thought might become huge, others thought m

Another now-classic example of solving this chicken and egg problem, I think: Facebook starting with just Harvard, then ivy league colleges, then colleges, then colleges and high schools, and only finally the general public. At each stage t

It's not a plot hole, it's a plot point, that makes Judas a complex, tragic character. John 13:27 addresses this a little. You might enjoy Jesus Christ Superstar, which is reasonably based on the text but takes some interpretive l

Reminds me of the anachronistic line from Andrew Lloyd Weber's musical, "Jesus Christ Superstar", in which Jesus yells at Judas, "You liar! You Judas!" Which is a pretty clever little joke

Maybe in the USA in 2022 this is weird, but in many cultures, taking care of your parents after they took care of you is just normal, commonplace, expected, assumed. Like, the natural circle of life.

Even the challenges in scaling a platform like Twitter to a global scale are gone. They were novel and exciting 10 years ago; today, using cloud services, it's a comp sci 301 assignment.

Think back to early 2020. A lot of the serious deaths/damage were not due to covid per se, but due to (1) covid being so novel we didn't know how to treat it very well, eg using ventilators in cases that could have just used O2 ta

The adjustable debt rumors should also be viewed in the context of an economy where everyone believes the fed will likely keep raising rates repeatedly and often over the next year or so. Definitely a risky situation

OK, why don't you volunteer then to give up the basic human tendency to fall in love, and give it up indefinitely for many years at a time? It's not temporary if it can last for a decade, is it? Just live a pathetic little life in

I appreciate your comment! I guess I am just guessing as to why Jython died, all I'm sure of is I'm sad it happened. Python on the JVM would be really helpful.
