"Why do we need #Bitcoin ?"
Here's one reason explained to a 5th grader (#eli5)
It's a decent orange pill 🍊💊 for those who don't really understand #inflation (or feel its effects that much).

Someone explain like I’m five how SARS-CoV-2 differs from HIV-1 please
Someone explain like I’m five how SARS-CoV-2 does that
Someone #ELI5 how SARS-CoV differs from Ebola virus please. You see, you already infected all five year olds. These are legitimate questions. The only puzzle here is why not everyone is asking them.
[1/🧵] I believe @bob_way has already gone way overboard with #ILP and all the complexities of explaining all that needs to be expressed. ❤️
Still, let me make a few remarks on the following topics 👇
• Infrastructure layers of #ILP
• #XRPL Payment Channels
• "Ledger Graphs"

[2/17] — Infrastructure Layers of #Interledger —
When it comes to the most recent version of the open #ILPv4 suite in universal mode (high volume, low value payments), the layering is as follows:
1⃣ Application
2⃣ Transport
3⃣ Interledger (Core Layer)
4⃣ Link
5⃣ Ledger

[3/17] — 1⃣ Application Layer —
This is the suite's first layer, and it contains the following protocol:
➡️ #SPSP (Simple Payment Setup Protocol)
📝 This is for #identifiers, which are comparable to email addresses and are used to make addresses readable.

Much as I appreciate @TheOnion @RealCheckMarker, they shouldn't remain our only sources of reliable scientific analysis.
Billions of parents and kids deserve to learn how to protect themselves and organize for real public health policy. We won't reach ALL of them via our twitter handles, I'm afraid. theonion.com/teen-who-died-…
Keep infecting children with SARS-CoV every year or two - current **policy** is *1-2 times per year,* I hear? (erratic asterixes inserted to mark how insane this is) - and you will get precisely this result:
[1/12] To understand what else is needed to create a financial future based on #blockchain technology, just consider what the #Interledger #Protocol was NOT designed to do. 😉

[2/12] 🤔 What problem does #ILP genuinely address?
Just like the #internet will never agree on a single #protocol to fix everything, the world will never agree on a single #blockchain or ledger [#DLT].
What must be resolved is:
🔹 Addressing
🔹 Fragmentation

Many gamers / investors are wondering why creating competitive games takes much time?
it is really needed and worth to wait to allow #developers focus on their work? or maybe we can make creating such games easier?

I would like to do an informal "language" poll if I may.
Does this tweet from yesterday;
- properly translate "arm or leg" as "limb" into British English?
- properly translate "positive-looking picture" into seething anger sarcasm?

I apologies for my poor English language skills in advance. I know the UK occasionally uses slang so I'm uncertain if the 133 views and 1 Like are due to improper translation errors from my translator.
Consider this outreach an attempt to seek out an improvement to our method of Public Health communication (aka Fearporn Directors, but also known as professional fearmongers).

@OpenAI płaciło swojemu CSO Ilya Sutskeverowi 1,9 mln rocznie (USD) w 2016 roku, a mają zespół 120 osób. Być może budżet >200 milionów dolarów na zatrudnienie w pierwszym roku.

What is a centralized, a decentralized and a Distributed network? And why does it concern you?
These three different types of network are the backbone of today's internet.
Where are they used? Everywhere Twitter, google even the website from the pizzeria that you makes use of one of these networks.

'Options'
Here's why you should care:
- They have the potential to skyrocket your portfolio
- They protect your portfolio from price crashes
So, what are options and how do they work?

Let's take a publicly-traded stock.
An options contract gives you the right to buy or sell this stock at a specific price.
But you are not obligated to do so.
That means:
You don't have to buy or sell the stock if it's not in your financial interest or advantage.

🙌🙌 #ELI5 continues 1/n We talked about TWO models of cBridge 2.0 yesterday and also dived into the design challenges for the self-managed liquidity model.
🧑🔧 Today is we start to break down the solutions. First, we start with the node coordination and operation issues.

3/n cBridge 2.0 solves the coordination problem in the self-managed model with State Guardian Network (SGN). SGN, an essential component in Celer, is a specialized and decentralized PoS chain with CELR staking. Its general purpose is to relay information from L2 to L1.
As Cyclone Nivar bears down towards the TN coast, we were treated to some spectacular rolling thunder overnight. The kind that starts off as a low rumble and builds up like a dubstep drop into a ear-shattering final crack.
And since it woke all of us up, it was an opportunity to do an #ELI5 on thunder with the son. But to explain thunder, one has to understand lightning, because a thunder is essentially the sonic boom that accompanies lightning
Lightning happens when a massive difference in electrical charge happens between clouds or between cloud and ground. When this difference in voltage becomes too high, things are settled by electrons moving en masse from one point to another to equalise the situation.
What connects ancient Mesopotamia, Rosetta Stone, your liver, mayonnaise, the last letter of the Greek alphabet, dark chocolate, fake meat and heart disease? The answer is sesame. A thread
Rather than randomly connect multiple facts, this thread will attempt to use why and how questions to rabbit-hole from one fact to another. And try and keep the science at an #ELI5 level.
It turns out that we know that the ancient Akkadian word for sesame was "Ellu", and the Sumerian word for it was “Illu”, both of which are rather surprising because the Tamil word for it is…"Ellu"
In a society where human beings live, there are rules about how everyone is supposed to interact with each other.
Human beings are strong only if they cooperate with each other and work together, otherwise they're just weak, petty & silly animals.
Human beings are strong only if they cooperate with each other and work together, otherwise they're just weak, petty & silly animals.
If a human being breaks rules, that person is exiled. Meaning, their basic rights of living in the society are taken away and they are punished.
But wait... Who decides how they are punished? What if the human is innocent?

A few days back, scientists changed the official definition of the kilogram, and it’s quite an amazing story. Here is a video that gets into the physics of how it’s now defined Since that video is rather sciency, here is my attempt at an #ELI5
So mankind has needed to measure stuff for a long while, particularly after the invention of agriculture, which resulted in the growth of cities & trade. The question “how many” necessitated a number system, & most neolithic civilizations had some form of numeracy
The question “how long” was also quite common. Land had to be measured, pyramids had to be built, and stone blocks had to be pretty precise in dimensions, so most civilizations had their own anthropic (human based) units of distance, like cubit, palm, span and foot.

@arpithadesai Who is an intermediary?
An intermediary is anyone who receives, stores or transmits an electronic record on behalf of someone. Includes your telecom provider, social media websites, e-commerce sites & search engines. Big, small and tiny.

@arpithadesai Under the IT Act, 2000, intermediaries enjoy what is called 'safe harbour' protection where the intermediary acts a facilitator and does not play any part in creation/modification of the information.
But, why? Because they facilitate free speech of end users. 3/11
