How to find out which plants are native to which region?

Sure, sometimes I even deploy code without a proof nor tests ;) Jokes aside, if my problem is small enough to be proved (for whatever value of small), I do not see any more value to be extracted from tests. Who bothers checking that 3+2 = 2

The main point of the parent is that free market is not fair. If developing a substitute takes ages, the market will remain awful for that long. Perhaps that's a game you want to play, but some pefer not to.

As I wrote, it doesn't understand the same things I don't, and that's why it's not directly useful here.

Network does have a natural order. You can make a routing decision faster when you get the most significant units first. If you get the least first, you have to wait for the entire address before you can route to it.

Kickstarter regularly sells my address, even soon after changing it. I don't think any other entity did that, which is mildly surprising.
