TL;DR: By spraying DDT everywhere, and coercing troops to take Atabrine (that often had nasty side effects), they reduced malaria incidence by about 70%. The Japanese, by contrast had little protection - nearly all Japanese soldiers had malaria at some time.
That's an incredibly large amount of pesticides - over two pounds of active ingredient per French citizen per year.
As I understand it, the source code of tezos itself is stored on its own blockchain. Any modifications to the source are proposed by and voted on by owners of the tezos currency (weighted by how much they own). Also, unlike Ethereum, smart contracts are stored as source code on the blockchain, rather than as compiled bytecode.
Code fork: taking the source code from one project, modifying it, then offering the result as a new project. This is what the overwhelming majority of altcoins are. For example Litecoin is a five-year-old code fork of Bitcoin. Even though Litecoin's code is nearly identical to Bitcoin's, Litecoin from the beginning created its own blockchain, which shares no data with Bitcoin's blockchain.
Chain fork: taking the blockchain from one project, and adding new blocks to that chain that are not compatible with the chain's original style. Variations of this are soft forks (the block-adding rules are made more strict), and hard forks (the block-adding rules are made less strict). Both this week's BTC-BCH fork and last year's ETH-ETC fork were hard forks.
Complications: obviously, a chain fork requires changes to the relevant code to be able to work, so a chain fork usually comes with a code fork, but not necessarily. For example, theoretically, a completely new code base could be created from scratch in a clean-room kind of environment to add new kinds of blocks to an old blockchain.
1) Governments know that criminals use tumbling services, so there is a non-trivial chance that tumbling services are actually honeypots run by LEO's. If you think LEO's are not smart enough to think of this, consider freeway DUI checkpoints: a huge flashing sign across a freeway announces "Warning: DUI Checkpoint Ahead - Prepare to Stop." If you stay on the freeway, you'll notice that you never see any DUI checkpoint. The checkpoint was actually at the end of the first exit ramp after the sign - placed there to catch the fearful drunks that take the first exit after seeing the sign. (Frankly, I'm suspicious of publicly-available VPN's like StrongVPN for the same reason.)
2) Once your coins are tumbled with the coins of other criminals, the coins you withdraw from the service are associated not only with your own crimes, but also with the crimes of all the other criminals using the service at the same time.
