How many Donnie Darko movies they can make before they start hitting diminishing returns? I wonder how many people want to watch 111 of them. There would be some natural variance between performances, editing, lighting, and the like, but it

If working for DoorDash is their best available option, I'm inclined to point the finger at every other company first. Why is it that DoorDash and the other Gig economy companies are offering the best available work option for so many?

The ETH core team who pulled off a very ambitious migration to POS might be different than the run of the mill scammers who are involved with crypto. Seems weird to group them all together when they appear to be very different.

Giving someone a rotor input seems unrealistic. I've never heard of someone gifting one and who would swap out a rotor input with one that would cause damage to the helicopter? I think readers would find that example too farfetched.

I wonder why they didn't have Achilles give out a special rotor for a helicopter that would have caused the entire helicopter to break. It seems like a great analogy for people who have the required domain knowledge as well as think it

The contention was that it can happen to remove/censor contracts or transactions, not that forks don't happen more broadly. It seems the point still stands that there was a single fork around the DAO and the odds of anything like

Data privacy laws like GDPR probably require them to fully hard delete when a user asks for something to be deleted. So any undo functionality would need to make sure it's compliant in every region that could have a privacy law. I&#x27
