You're not the only one. It's just that's i recognized this "neat" feeling for what it was: the same one I got when I went to Vegas and won actual cash from the games. I didn't truly know that seductive feeling

I would be surprised if indexes were not larger than the raw tweets. Text search, hashtag index, some structured data for popular tweets, etc... In order to deliver search results I would not be surprised if tweets are duplicated/denor

I entirely agree. I'm saying that it's perfectly possible to reproduce this distortion perfectly digitally, and play it through audiophile headphones. This of it as constructive/destructive interference. The 192kHz master has

The root problem here is not a remind interval, but "email alerts". Either something should file a bug to look at "some time later", or it should start ringing your phone. Email alerts are just spam. For both bugs and pa

github has kicked people off the platform for using the verb "retard" in a mathematical sense. And they upheld it when escalated to a chief something-or-other. Anything github does the burden of proof is definitely on them.

Right. I'm not saying it literally impossible to do it right. I'm saying it's impossible to achieve mainstream audience competence. In other words: the states aims of cryptocurrencies don't scale in this aspect either. F
