right! But we would not need to use canvas if updating the DOM was not super slow. I suspect the #1 reason is the layout/reflow engine but i might be wrong. Game engine do run physics at 60fps which is harder than CSS reflow.

if 30% of the population is 25% more protected but 70% of the population is not vaccinated we are not going anywhere. But if 90% of the population have a vaccine that is 25% less effective we still can beat the virus.

100% agree with you. Gifted student should not be ignored! Gifted student when put in normal class will be so bored they will start getting awful grade.

“ reject the idea that some children are naturally gifted” as a father of a gifted kid this make me angry! Why is it ok to say some kid are one standard deviation below the curve and need special class and teacher. But it’s not ok to say so

why do we need Phd and MD "inside" the government ? Instead the government can just ask normal PHd and MD working for the private sector or for university for their opinion. I 100% understand why people dont trust an MD which is

I agree with you but I think compared to Http or even bittorrent It’s extremely easy to attack IPFS. Anyone can register a lot of fake “seeder” for a file chunk making it hard to download that chunk. Same problem for the name server.
