Okay, so it's just a distributed linked list where earlier entries can't be changed without changing everything up to the head? I guess I can see a few niche uses for that. In my head I was just thinking "surely that can't be it" because it's so simple, hence thinking the proof-of-[x] thing would also have to be part of it.

I don't see how a blockchain is necessary there. Couldn't they just use transaction databases and simple messaging between banks? Also, what is your definition of blockchain? Just a distributed linked list? Proof of work (the part I don't understand the need for)?

The written form of how people speak to signal confusion, that thing where their people go from lower to higher pitch at the end of a sentence the way they do with questions, but with statements instead.

you don't, and that's good, but that doesn't make it universal. as for the split between these 2 types, idk so I won't even guess

Governments could bribe or steal from certificate authorities (CAs) to host a copy of the website while your device still says it's encrypted and secured. Then they can change that key (random looking characters) on the website, which is used for encrypting information so that only the journalists can decrypt what you sent for confidentiality, but if the government changes it to their own key then they can decrypt it and catch you. Having it physically printed means now they'd have to change that too somehow, which is much harder and especially hard to target only to specific people so nobody finds out they were trying to spy.

I thought the joke here was that your unbalanced parentheses would make me angry (they did))

Sleeping outside is a crime. Sleeping inside is trespassing and also a crime.

Now, I can't find legal text specifically banning that sort of thing, but that definitely seems like a "bill of attainder" and against the spirit of the 8th amendment to to the US constitution. Of course, I know the courts don't actually care, but if they had spines they would.

Double bottom rule (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

A diagram of a "bottom meson" (composed of an unknown quark "q" and an antibottom quark) with an arrow labeled ":3" pointing to a "double bottom Baryon" (composed of an unknown quark "q" and 2 bottom quarks).

Both rule (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Two (presumably) girls lying in bed holding hands and looking at each other. The one on the left, labeled "Me" has shoulder-length hair, an uncomfortable :| expression, and is wearing a black hoodie, grey jeans, and sneakers. The one on the right, labeled "Also me" has longer hair, a subtle smile, a blush, and is wearing a dress and high heels.

Edited from this post, on which I commented "I wanna be both".

It makes more sense if you think of const as "read-only". Volatile just means the compiler can't make the assumption that the compiler is the only thing that can modify the variable. A const volatile variable can return different results when read different times.

The one time I was hit while cycling, I had my attention split 2 ways and was hit by a driver from a 3rd conflict point.

When you see a cyclist doing something dangerous, you make note of that to confirm the idea that cyclists are stupid and reckless. But when you see a driver doing that, you're so used to it it doesn't even register as "all drivers are stupid and reckless".
