    Its spec says up to 18,000,000 (18 million units) can be added per year. This means the value of ETH can dilute itself by a factor of 18 million every 12 months.

    No. It means that by the end of the year it can dilute by a factor of 1 + ( 18e6 / X ), where X is how many there were at the start of the year.

    18 million in yr 1, add another 18M = 36M - factor of 2. Ding dong, Auld Lang Syne, add another 18M, 54M - factor of 1.333' and so on.

    I wonder how many users of high end gaming rigs use them for other stuff, like actual work, and how many use another OS for that?

    I'm sure it's not 100%, but it's more than 0.

    Imagine.

    Imagine four people are sitting in a bar talking about something. Something that they know about. There's a band playing. Someone sitting two tables away gets absolutely ratfaced and in the morning writes down what they think they overheard and posts it on teh interwebs.

    This incessant dogwhistling about censorship just cheapens the term and distracts from actual censorship.

    When the town has one newspaper and it won't print your article there's absolutely zero practical difference between that and teheeberlgubmint banning your article. In both cases, it doesn't get read.

    And yet from a constitutional POV one is censorship and the other isn't.

    Of course what really matters is the content. If it's stuff you agree with being impeded it's censorship. If it's stuff you don't like it's editorial choice and "their sit, their rules".

    In other words, you write it more like code.

    The problem with natural languages is that both operator precedence and conditional scope are ill-defined.

    It's true, I've worked with a few and they write comments in code like:
