I disagree those are essential. Federated chains like Elements Alpha are also considered block chains but lack many of those properties. I think it really is the case that a "block chain" is merely a singly linked list with hash l

T-mobile also routes though a Texas VPN when you're out of the country, which has its tradeoffs (super annoying latency, but no censorship in places like China).

Because moving in any direction down the dome requires epsilon momentum from an application of epsilon force, which is not present in the assumed setup.

No what I'm saying is that the single Newtonian solution in this problem is no motion. The ball stays at the top of the dome. If there is a problem with multiple Newtonian solutions, this isn't it.

Facebook is used in different markets in different ways. In Japan for example it is a common medium for corporate communication, much like slack.

That was bad physics. Even assuming poetical cow physics with perfect spheres, domes, no friction, no air, and no external forces, the sphere will simply never move. There is no underlying instability to trigger its motion.

There's a lot more possible states than eleven. 32 if you count just whether a finger is extended. More if you allow crossing fingers, interaction between hands, etc. And this isn't theoretical either: https://en.wikipe

Observational and experimental are not opposed attributes. For astronomers the universe is the laboratory, and that is fine. An astronomer can say "I predict binary black holes to emit gravitational waves of a certain sort" and th

The problem, as talked about in the article, is that it is NOT science. Science involves experimentation, which string theory so far has eschewed. It more resembles mathematics in that sense (which is ostensibly not a science either).

Yes that is basically what I was saying. It only took one regional climate/ecosystem change to initiate farming, and then one thug to centralize the proceeds of it.
