This data is a decade old, but it shows that the U.S. has a higher median income than almost any European country.

Höfliche Erinnerung daran, dass es nach wie vor keinen "Lockdown" gibt, der "verlängert" wird. Die Leute fahren täglich in ihre Fabriken + Büros + das Virus fährt fröhlich mit. 4 bis 6 Wochen alles zu. Alles! Und wir hätten eine Chance, dieses Pillepalle-Hinundher zu beenden.

I stand with Martin.
I add my +1 to this chorus. The software world doesn't need his kind of behavior to be honored in any way.

Quite what the FSF was thinking letting RMS back on the board is beyond me. There’s no place for him in the world of Free Software, and the FSF have shown that they just don’t care. Utterly shameful. I’m glad that @conservancy posted this in 2019: sfconservancy.org/news/2019/…

At one point @samfbiddle told me that IBM claimed to have a technical document explaining how their system worked, and it (in all apparent seriousness) proposed this diagram as a “system architecture” or something. I nearly blew milk out of my nose.

Vaccination data is absolutely not an example of such a problem. All of the data comes from a “trusted” source. If a health department tells you someone got the shot, you have to trust them. They might be lying, but blockchains won’t solve that.

The problems that blockchains are great at solving are those where lots of people need to agree on some shared history, and the parties *really* don’t trust each other. Ownership of money is one.

Ok in all seriousness it’s probably worth explaining why blockchains aren’t a great idea for COVID vaccination passports (if we must have them) and also why IBM’s systems are very dubiously even “Blockchains”.
