Just watched the nobel prize live stream, surprised by the topic, looks very engineering to me rather than physics, do algorithms make physics subsidiary?

Exactly. In short, we spend much less time to buy a coffee and much more others will suffer and die to keep that "real" assets "low-volatile".

I also can use it for buying a coffee or sending payments across border directly and I appreciate already the developers and managers behind it but people die and suffer for the sake of "low volatile assets" for years. Speed or functionality may be problematic previously but we have much deeper and important problems which can only be solved by contributions of companies like Facebook. That's why I'm uttering this here.

"it will be backed by a collection of low-volatility assets, such as bank deposits and short-term government securities in currencies from stable and reputable central banks." from the whitepaper: https://libra.org/en-US/white-paper/#the-libra-currency-and-...

It's like one to one copy of the traditional monetary system with speed of transactions improved. Low volatile assets they rely on are not real and therefore not guaranteed to stay low volatile. It may be decentralized technically but not socially or ethically.

It's like one to one copy of the traditional monetary system with speed of transactions improved. The volatility of low-volatile assets still contradictive in the long term (I mean just ~5 years) So I don't see any innovative approach in the terms of social order and decentralization.

Would like to add a practice that may be helpful for someone: I store an uploaded image as an array of objects in the DB. Each object contains format (jpeg, webp, etc.), name, size, hash and other pieces of information about the transformed image. Frontend app chooses which one to render according to a browser (use webp in Chrome for example.) and UI element.

haha, great example :) I generally think in the way the story points to. the reason we tend to give sacred meanings to ancient findings is because of our search for the meaning of life, I think. Finding details about their daily life would be more interesting and useful, however.

I felt like looking to google drive of an ancient man. I really would like to read about the meanings of the objects found in those walls.

The content of commits should be like Medium articles. I give up when I see it in the command line.
