You know, comparing countries on their development level, and where they focus to develop, or perhaps not to develop, is a question to answer:Is Development Really The Way To Go?If you look at suburbs that still presume their old infrastructure, not much development in the past decades, they probably preserved lots of good things. For example, forest, nature, parks, and spaces. Or perhaps in some parts of the world, some lands are specifically preserved, like WWII-infested sites, for our gene...

“Ahhh! You guys! You guys dare opposes me! Then shall this city pay for your opposing price!” Hei Huang, being annoyed at his friends betrayal, summoned his power and raise the Earth to the sky. He turned it upside down, so humans started falling from the sky like rain, together with other objects that doesn’t stay intact to the toppled ground. He fly up quickly and slam on the piece of Earth, tearing it into pieces, like many pieces of meteorites hitting Earth. “Shit!” Bai Huang was about 1 ...

We have been too comfortable with life. Humanity grew more peaceful in the last century. The formation of United Nations reduces war on a larger scale, and “most people” live in peace thereafter. Medicine and Therapy discoveries via scientific methods -- as opposed to traditional methods like bloodletting -- allows for longer life expectancy. And comparing today to the previous century, as we slowly perfected procedures, an average person lives more peaceful than before. At least that’s what ...

When writing smart contracts, we aim for less gas consumption and less storage used. But as far as one know, both cannot be optimized together. Maybe there are special situations that they can, I don’t know. Usually, it’s like the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, where after the minima, further optimizing the storage causes gas to increase, and further optimizing gas causes storage to increase. These are trade-offs to make and decide. Database searches are fast. They are especially tuned for...

Some story are interesting, some are not. You tend to read an interesting story slowly, word by word; while skipping and skimming uninterested stories, hopefully getting to some interesting part where we slow down, then start skipping/skimming again after that. But what makes a story boring? Too much details.Note: these are one’s opinions. Different people have different opinion, attracted to different style, so observe your audience before deciding what style to adapt. Also note that, whatev...

Blockchain safety, or web3 safety, refers to a group of people researching for negative implications that blockchain and web3 brings. What new negative implications that haven’t yet exist does blockchain brings? I don’t know. What already negative implications does blockchain and web3 enhance, making it even more negative than it currently is? Hah, I know. That’s what we’re going to talk about in this article. If you haven’t understand what one means by blockchain safety (I’ll use blockchain ...

Say, non-fictional books. Most popular being the self-help books, but there are others that contains transferrable information; others are very science-y, requiring deeper education to understand. Yet, if any of which, books don't tell you everything, and they sometimes clash with each other.

New technologies introduces new positions and supersede old positions. Only those whom can adapt thrives. Some have significant difference in its new and old positions, while others are somewhat similar with new tools. Those with smaller difference includes electrical saw replacing axe in lumberjack sector, electrical motors replacing human rowers in boats, etc. These don’t easily lose their job, providing the lumberjack is willing to invest in an electrical saw and learns how to use it, for ...

We have heard about the 51% attacks on validator nodes. It's when more than or equal to 50% of the validator nodes are controlled by hackers, whom could then control transactions, including reversing a transaction. But 51% attacks doesn't occur just for nodes! It could also happens on DAOs. Consider this situation: a member is a BCH lover (NEAR lover); and he/she brings in members of their family to join the community. So we have active members as families here. Each family members,...
