anything about sanitary practices faces a massive barrier of getting people to accept and implement it. I could tell ancient doctors to wash their hands, but the first time someone tried that in actual history they laughed in his face.

They've gained about 1.2 billion in market cap this week based on stock price. The super rich do not experience consequences.

I recently saw an archeologist talk about this very thing. His conclusion: archeology actually takes great pains to infer gender roles based on artifacts and cultural context, not merely bones. Some ancient peoples had wildly different conceptions of gender than us, which often don't align with biological sex. "We don't dead name the dead" he said.

That actually is directly addressed on that website https://github.com/MKorostoff/1-pixel-wealth/blob/master/THE_PAPER_BILLIONAIRE.md

I prefer JavaScript personally, but it's time to acknowledge that TypeScript has won. If you want to contribute and succeed as a developer in the JS ecosystem, you need to learn TS, like it or not.

Interestingly, one of the dialogs of Plato is a conversation between Socrates and Thrasymachus, who basically preached exactly what Trump believes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrasymachus

That's true, even if the specific example doesn't hold, the core concept does. If I needed to implement a bird detector today, I'd make an API call to AWS Rekognition or an equivalent service. It would take me a day or two to learn the API and then maybe 4 hours to actually implement. But if you asked me to implement a bird species detector, I'm pretty sure there is no off the shelf API capable of that, and I would indeed need months or years.

There are a bunch of other languages and countries here https://github.com/MKorostoff/1-pixel-wealth/blob/master/README.md

Very often, headlines about new, revolutionary medical breakthroughs actually do result in breakthrough treatments for specific niche disease scenarios. For instance, cancer deaths are down roughly 1/3 over the past 30 years.
