I have some experience with a comparable platform. In a typical CouchDB/PouchDB design, syncs and offline work are common and easy, and it's pretty close to database-based design if you get fancy with views and javascript-based lo

Downvote all you like. NFTs have no real liquidity (or usecase), the 'price' is just wash trading.

Bog-standard evolution is perfectly capable of large qualitative differences. Animals couldn't fly until they did. Land animals didn't exist until they did. Multi-cellular beings weren't until they were. We can empirically se

I guess you have a different criteria for 'arsty'. For me, the sensibility matters more than the experimentalism some of these movies have. Some other guy below mentions a Ryan Johnson interview where he says 'subverting exp

It's too easy to accuse every such article of arrogance - after all, something is obviously different, especially given that crows and apes didn't take over the planet long before humans existed. It's fair enough to look for

Note that in a lot of cases, getting rid of plastics really means 'burning plastics' which is definitely not warming-friendly. * This is done since a landfill has its own issues, and recycling plastics does not work.
