    Because no one rewards long-term efforts. You are rewarded for short-term goals and, at best, mid-term ones. In an abstract sense, customers reward you for long-term efforts, but t…

    Most paper money intrinsically has no value at all, even the paper it is printed on can't be used as toilet paper due to its lack of softness. It is only a medium of labor exchange…

    So, access to a permissionless SWIFT-like system from anywhere around the world has no economic value in your opinion? Go and ask people in African countries what it means to them.…

    As far as I remember, this paper draws an analogy not to system structures, but to the method of approach in their analysis. If a purely statistical approach to a designed system i…

    Yes, P/Invoke should work, especially when you are targeting a single platform. However, for multiple platforms, there might be some unexpected obstacles I am not aware of.
