What a travesty. Why even go to school, then? Are getting good marks that much more valuable than the actual education you would receive if you didn’t cheat? Any institution that produces this outcome has its priorities completely out of

Yes, of course, because the one thing that is driving inflation is that old people are not as poor and as sick as they should be.

My understanding is that message features are embedded in the messages themselves. So, it’s more a question of client support rather than relay/server support.

FYI, this website is a nostr client. Nostr is a decentralized messaging protocol where many relays are used to share messages among many clients. There are mobile client apps like Damus, and there are web clients like this website. There

Yeah, but you're wrong to say that it's cheaper than what I indicated. I took my kids to see Avatar in IMAX last weekend and the total bill was north of $100 including a few snacks.

Is there only one explanation for lower unemployment and higher wages? No, and clearly I'm not saying anything like that. But would you seriously argue that when a company hires 100 people it doesn't lower unemployment by 100 peo

by legutierr 4y ago
Yes, and as a result Nostr timestamps can be forged, and messages can be surreptitiously removed from the network.
