The idea came out of an attempt to represent numbers without having to choose an arbitrary base, i.e. an alternative to the place value system. Just to be clear, this is an art project with no practical use that I can think of. It's ha

Is there anything in judgement that limits this to cryptocurrency? I could see this precedent being used to shut down open source projects in end-to-end encryption, BitTorrent, etc. While I have no knowledge of Tornado Cash itself, I hope a

The terms Global South and North have been around since the 1960s, and they denote the country's socioeconomic position, not geographic location. It's jargon used by organizations working on developmental economics, and as with an

The simple and unsatisfying answer is that the board is responsible for these decisions, and the board should be constituted in accordance with each company's articles. My point is that there is nothing inevitable about the board repre

Nice! I'd built something similar to make fonts for the Adafruit GFX library. http://aravind.rs/fruitfont/ Its export format is C code that defines GFXGlyph and GFXFont structs. Doesn't work well on mobile an

The 365 + 1/4 - 1/100 + 1/400 is an approximation, not an exact value. The best value* is 365.24217. 46,751 / 128 is actually a better approximation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_year * Th

I think the solution is for historical emitters to pay the rest to forgo fossil-fuel based economic growth. Obviously, this would not happen: historical emitters also have the most political power. The US and EU's success at killing th

There is a valid discussion to be had about whether the Node.js ecosystem disruption of moving from CJS to ESM is worth the benefits, but the assertion that it's technically worse isn't accurate. A few things ESM does better in N

Am I the only one that misses the honesty and heart of Antirez's blog posts from back in the day? This is basically a low-quality ad for Redis Enterprise, focusing on the shortcomings of their main competitor: open source Redis. Except
