That was not a hard fork, and the recovery from it was not a hard fork. Notably there are still bitcoin nodes from before then synced to the network, although they require some care and attention to maintain. What happened was the behavior

Of course the US doesn't control the media. If they did, how would Monica Lewinsky have ever been a thing? There are people who control the media. Rupert Murdoch, for example. And organizations which have undue influence due to adverti

I'm Chinese (well, half-Chinese). I don't appreciate an opinion on individual liberty and freedom of expression, association, self-determiniation, etc. being labeled as "East vs West" or worse, connected to imperialism o

When people in politics and journalism say "nuclear scientists", that's who they mean.

Internationally “government” refers to either the monarchy in a strong authoritarian regime, or the ruling coalition in parliament. The US model of separate but equal powers in a federation is somewhat unique.. although it is more of cluste

Let’s say you’re black in the American south before 1868, or South Africa before 1993. Voting or any sort of civic duty is illegal for you. Does that mean that you shouldn’t be allowed to vote? I am NOT saying Catalonians are oppressed the
