While Redis needs to keep the dataset in memory (which is why I added that it kind of depends on the size of your stuff) it does have quite robust persistence features [0] so it's very unlikely you'll ever lose your data even acro

I've watched some of the videos made about this but I'm highly skeptical of the "wormish" nature of this. The claim is that by clicking the profile link or replying to the bot that comments stuff like "wanna be frie

I'm not sure you're actually looking back on it more objectively. In fact it looks a lot more like you got burned or denied some grant or funding and are now a bit bitter and lashing out on these. This is an assumption but you&#x2

This! Also ironic that the currency that would ideologically only bring benefits to the unbanked is now largely held and controlled by bank-like institutions and the crypto equivalent of the top 0.1% since most bitcoin is held in a very sma

Hope you read the entire Three body problem trilogy as I'm not quite sure how well it stands by reading only the first book as it's been a while since I've read them, but it's a brilliant trilogy. Totally agree with you

Wouldn't it be simpler for facebook and for its users if they just implemented some sort of "FB Pay" equivalent to WeChat Pay that's tied to their messenger app and be done with it? I'm definitely missing a lot here
