Using a URL shortener obviously. But you are right, if they only send plain text, they won't be able to include those 1x1 images at the bottom to track whether you have opened the email. Any sane email client blocks images by default, but whatever.

You can just send a link, and the user's client will probably highlight it even if it is plain text.

I wish people just sent plain text.

Does it being very high precision or whatever mean that it must cost $75M per unit? Is it made of gold?

From the article,

"Each GBI costs approximately $75 million, and as of 2024, 44 are deployed across Alaska and California [3]."

Why does a ground based interceptor cost $75M? High idiot index?

If your employer does direct deposit of USD into your USD bank account, you don't need stable coins. This is not the case for most people outside of the U.S.

I don't know what USR is, but I would prefer to be paid in USDT or USC if Wealthsimple supported it as deposit method. When I withdraw, I do Deel -> Wise -> Interac e-Transfer -> Bank -> Interac e-Transfer -> Wealthsimple. This is incredibly stupid and I am forced to buy Canadian dollars. For groceries or electronics, you can buy gift cards using crypto.

I am talking about this bug. It looks like it is still unfixed, in the sense, there is a PR fixing it, but it wasn't merged. LOL.

Regardless of whether this specific bug would be caught by Rust compiler, Bun in general is notorious for crashing, just look at how many open issues there are, how many crashes.

Not saying that you cannot make a correct program in Zig, but I prefer having checks that Rust compiler does, to not having them.
