In case that actually dissuaded you from learning and you would want to otherwise, I want to point out that gender is extremely simple in Arabic. It is not at all arbitrary in the way Romance languages treat it - nearly every word is clearl

Ah thanks for the correction re: PA. I saw that they were New York Sicilians and didn't pay attention to the fact that I didn't recognize the mall's name.

The houses that I've seen in Levittown and the nearby towns don't seem particularly empty - is the residential market dying as well or is it actually just the commercial properties? Hicksville, for one, seems to be livelier than e

Fair enough. As far as I know, it aims to be fully decentralized by everyone's definition eventually, apart from KYC which I accept as a necessity. For my needs, the decentralization they currently offer is all I really care about (I a

IDEX has been the #1 DAPP on Ethereum since March 2018[0]. It's also the #1 DAPP by users and transaction count. You can't buy crypto with fiat there, though, so connecting your orthodox bank accounts is irrelevant in this case. T

They didn't exactly hack Marriott. They hacked Starwood, which had been bought by Marriott. I don't mean to nitpick but there are far more Marriott guests than Starwood guests.

It's not exactly fair to throw out the population like that with no context - Atlanta is similar to LA in that it is very spread out, a bunch of "suburbs in search of a city." Friendly communities like this are rare in apartm

There's still one there. I see them often in tourist/beach cities, presumably because kids are enticed by things like invisible ink (judging from their billboards).

This was the case in March, meaning it was within the Q1 release (and obviously didn't make up for the drop in the US). Actually, the long lead time to get shipments to Europe may be what caused a lot of the drop in the US - Q1 was the
