Yes, and if you want the verbose version, an LLM can generate that.

Religion and science in general are not incompatiable. Immutible religions and mutable scienece are incompatible though. God didn't create the world in 7 days. As a theory this is disprovable. So the bible needs to be edited! But that is not allowed but we have an out! We can imterpret it as metaphor.

You are both right. Dealing with infinities!

Buying a fridge. Plugging it into the neigbours outbouse, who also gives you free food, and you use both to run your cafe. Which is fair because the neighbour gives free food away to look the most christian and you pay for the fridge and most people don't want to run a fridge so they rely on your cafe.

Butchering is a right afforded by the GPL. As long as you pass along the dog food.

I work at similar size company. Basically they are like most companies building out the next 5 years while also keeping the lights on at four nines. There can be a lot of depth to product that you dont see. Anyone who says "why you need X people" often havn't tried a side hussle where you see 360 all the activities involved.

Building at scale without racking up big bill and hitting SLAs require a decent amount of effort.

Keep it as 200, then any reports you get about it can be added to a block list.

Error prone. Slow.

Punchcards would be better. QR relies on machine vision. The camera would be running its own code.

That said, cameras are more of a commodity.

QR and typing: see TOTP tokens!

If you can get natural light in people could live under the mound. Then you can have a city that looks like a park! People could quickly walk or cycle to where they need to go. Cars stay in tunnels.

Firstly "unhackable" in the marketing makes me trust it less. Everything is hackable.

I am not sure what the threat vector is that makes this more secure than hashing a password in a single database.

With hashing the server doesn't know your password. If you picked a poor password a hacker with the hash could guess it I suppose but you can mitigate against that.

Also if someone can hack into server A, however they did that is likely to work for B unless they are managed on different clouds by different teams and share no common code or prod access.
