That's hardly relevant for someone looking at them in 2021, of for choosing a "global reserve currency" which involves a staggering appreciation of both. Bitcoin 2021 has been 85% "premined", the only difference is

So it's a 100% premine that already pushes on 1 billion market capitalization. How is that any different from the Bitcoin bubble?

I would go the exact opposite route for this exact reason: something like 24Kbit ADPCM or 16Kbit G728 can provide an absolutely decent quality with only a 5 ms delay. This kind of bandwidth is now available in the vast majority of VoIP scen

Rutherford is only a 26 KN engine. An original Merlin 1 engine was 340 KN, so you would need 15 Rutherfords for each Merlin. A total of 135 engines for a rocket comparable to the original Falcon 9 which they are targeting.

So they are not targeting just x86_64 like here, but also MIPS, various MCUs, iOS and even wasm itself. Yeah, that will get hairy in a hurry.

Am I missing something or is the work required to write an interpreter comparable to the work involved in a drop-dead-simple compiler, that even without any optimizations is guaranteed to be faster? The wasm instruction set maps very well o

Patching up C has been attempted many times, with great success. Problem is, once the patch-up is completed, the language and memory layout of things like stacks, structures etc. that you end up with makes that secure language no longer C.

That's a strange way to frame it. Reducing waste will allow farmers to cover more of the production costs using non-meat revenue. In a competitive market, this will push them to lower the price of meat, stimulating its consumption, and
