Anecdotes are not statistical facts. Did you read the story? It clearly shows that statistically, no, it's not real.

Then you aren't paying attention. It's heavily used for money laundering and dark purchases. Yes the ledger is public, but there is almost no verification of the principals. It's nearly completely anonymous if you aren't a complete fool in how you setup the shells. Anonymity is the core of high volume laundering. You should do just a tiny bit of research of you think most of the major cryptocurrencies aren't massive laundering vehicles.

It's almost like a for profit health care system creates a bunch of really bad downstream effects that are a net negative to the total long term economy.

So your response to him pointing out that the author talks in absolutes, and tries to shit on any tech he doesn't like...is to talk in absolutes and shit on tech you don't like, with little jabs and dumb in jokes? Very convincing.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your point, but hasn't AMD proven this wrong at this point? With a correctly architected interconnect you can absolutely do chiplet based general computation processors.

Again, I may be misunderstanding your point...but I think the chiplet future is here on some level.

Not trying to be mean, but you really don't make any sort of case for doing this here. You just note you did it because you've become more comfortable with the front end. It also seems like you're designing and implementing an entire system by yourself in which case you can do whatever you want. When dealing with a team, and an API layer that has to be used by more than just your client, I don't see any compelling case presented here to start designing API's specifically for UX use cases.

That's not true at all. The Spanish flu outbreak had a ton of impact on the modern world. Health codes, science around vaccines, economic effects, etc. To act like the Spanish flu had no long lasting effects shows you didn't pay much attention in middle school social studies.
