Turns out nobody is actually interested in transacting with crypto otherwise Nano would have been a winner. I also love Banano, a Nano fork where you mine by folding proteins. Work that has actual value.

The other option would be to rebase the currency such that a single penny was a meaningful unit of money again. One potential such way would be to issue new paper notes which represent the old note with a decimal place move such that $10 becomes $100. This has been done before but might not be a great idea for the USA.

When you break down anything into its subtasks there's basically nothing that anyone wants to do. Sometimes the ends help justify the means too.

It's probably going to be even worse than that - HR (and everyone else) will probably then have to implement process and procedure and storage mechanisms to prove that emails have not been changed. This might mean storing emails in a document control system. Email is bad enough but now we're all going to have to keep a mirror in SharePoint or something like that.

Sometimes we find it hard to see the things that are closer to home, and presume that these phenomena are do do with other peoples and cultures.

But consider in English we currently do this blue and light blue. Where say Spanish calls them different colours - blue and celeste, and they are linguistically seen as different named colours.

Interestingly we don't do this with red, there's no red and light red, but red and pink.

That was one of the most romantic things I have ever read. And like most romantic things it was fundamentally flawed. Excellent prose though.

It would be hard to argue that DNA coding directly effects behaviour. DNA only determines how genes are expressed and proteins are built, where behaviour is an emergent phenomena - behaviour is genes and DNA but it is also the large scale interaction of all of those processes and external input which makes it much more than the sum of the DNA parts.

You're just assuming that one set of optimisations are the most important for everyone in UI design. Good UI design doesn't state that it is always the case that people should be able to use it intuitively. Sometimes enhanced performance, speed, and focus over the long term are optimised over intuitiveness. This is the case for Vim. There is room in the world for both sets of optimisations.

I really want to like vim

Also, why do I have to have a special mode to insert things?

First and foremost Vim is a modal text editor. If you don't like that Vim is probably not for you. Your comment is kind of like saying I'm really trying to like chocolate, but I don't like the flavour.

There's a Vim way of doing things, if you really take the time to learn it then the questions you are asking will all be resolved.
