From the last sentence, I think it's intended as showing what supposed "benefit" blockchains can bring to gaming. But up until then I honestly read it as a critique of centralization and consolidation in the industry (see: &q

I might have missed it, but is there (or do we know of) a different model for which the velocities actually add? Essentially, how do we go from slopes to angles here?

I don't speak any Spanish or Italian, but I had French in school (it's been a while) and I presently cannot recall how the gender of the speaker is more obvious than in, say, English. I'm curious, could you give me an example

Regarding cash payments, things have slightly improved due to covid. Many places that did not use to accept cards/phones now do but there's still a ways to go. And then of course there are many smaller places that only accept cash

That's a very interesting point, I think you are probably spot on about why Squid Game seems to resonate with people more. Funnily enough, the inclusion of so much of the outside world is actually one of my bigger personal gripes with

I think a critical piece of information is missing here, namely how many of the 470 cases last week actually were vaccinated. It says 99,7% of the adult population is vaccinated, maybe there was a huge outbreak at a school or something.

I think it's not a dilemma at all because the two goals are not even mutually exclusive: - You want to spend 100% of your coding time in the editor - You want your coding time to make up as little as possible (ideally 0%) of your total
