Link is dead.

As an anecdote, to kick off discussion, I, as a native European Portuguese speaker, that was born in France (moved to Portugal when I was 4), can _barely_ pronounce them correctly.

Not all R's have the same roll of the tongue. They're usually in the middle of the word. Hate those R's.

They're the trivial wallet addresses (close to the beginning and end of the search space). I would expect them to be used for debugging and testing in the early days.

Indeed, they are. Just like your comment and mine are included in the library of babel: https://libraryofbabel.info/bookmark.cgi?comment:14

There's a narrative that I hear often about Corvo island:

Corvo is a small island in the Azores archipelago, which is home to less than 500 habitants.

Every time a police officer, joins the island, it usually has a bit of a tough time, as it tries to write fines and issue warnings to the small population. The small population, not only disregard its orders, but they actually shut them out.

Since there's very few establishments, the police officer, eventually, has to comply with the population.

To be honest, I don't know how much truth there is, in this story, but I don't find it hard to believe.

> I want a mesh of satellites around the earth.

I assume your motivation is (alongside with a bunch of us), "bring people closer to space than ever before", but you have provided no evidence, that polluting low earth orbit with arguably redudant satellites is a good approach.

You seem to imply that it will lead in "revolution in prices". I too, commend SpaceX for the landing boosters, but for now it doesn't reduce the price nowhere near enough to let humanity approach the space age. Starlink comparatively, IMO does nothing.

Space tethers, anyone?

Refresh tokens are the real alternative, IMO.

I kinda agree it looks like an ad for redis, since it doesn't even considers alternatives.

Yeah, I'm from '94 - I've never seen a world without Comic Sans. Or Wingdings for that matter.

That just triggered an old memory from very early me playing around with clip-art and transitions on PowerPoint.

> In Firefox you can add "ui.systemUsesDarkTheme" as an integer in about:config and set it to "0" for forced light or "1" for forced dark. This setting changes what is reported by the media query, you can still set your OS and/or browser theme independently. You will need to restart Firefox to apply the setting. [1]

A set that contains all things must contain itself by definition.
