"The library supports the homomorphic evaluation of the 10 binary gates (And, Or, Xor, Nand, Nor, etc…), as well as the negation and the Mux gate." So you'd program it by designing a digital circuit using AND, OR, and NOT gat

Normalizing household debt against the GDP makes the assumption that we are comparing the debt with the ability to pay for it. But according to graphs like this, even though the GDP has been rising, median households have not been getting a

I assume that's for the entire block. Recent blocks hover somewhere between 1000 and 2000 transactions per 10-minute block, which gives a modest 2.5 USD fee per transaction.

So it looks like you end up with two syntaxes for the same feature, one of which you can use without any extra declarations. From a user's perspective, why not just use the "do catch" syntax everywhere? What happens with that

Cryptolocker is "just" a C++ computer program too, it is technically interesting and variants are getting increasingly sophisticated. That doesn't mean I can't see that economically it's a negative sum game wasting

It does - it allows for 36 code points using your current charset, which with UTF-8 can mean up to 144 bytes. Of course, that is the worst case, but for index size limits, MySQL has to assume the worst case, which means you quickly bump int
