Readit NewsI have a question about blockchain DNS's. This might be the time to ask!
There is a centralization aspect in any DNS, blockchain or otherwise in that, literally to be useful, there needs to be consensus about which chain operators own which .{name} extensions for a given name. Which makes financial incentive for say an investor to 'bribe' browsers into using their DNS, which then charges money to end users, which er... feels a lot like the DNS we have.
I think that "true" decentralization might come from nameless "domain". If a domain is a SHA256 hash with no name, then with QR Codes and search engines and hyperlinks it doesn't matter as much that they are not memorable (we managed with nameless phone numbers, right!). Hash providers can be any chain, and then your job as a browser is to add as many mainstream chains as possible (there is no need to decide who is the 'official' one, or rank them, so Ethereum is no better than Dogecoin) as hash collisions are practically impossible.
A nameless phone number can be relayed verbally, and is easily memorized. Neither of those things is really true for a SHA256 hash.

She made an update 3 days ago that was deleted for some reason - here's the google cache of it:

That's not GitHub's decision. It's the way the law works. They have a thorough explanation with links to viewpoints challenging DMCA on the submitted page.
They can legally reinstate the pages with a simple counter-claim / attestation though, but they don’t seem to have implemented that feature of the DMCA yet.

They don't conflate the two. They say you can taste the umami without the downside of ingesting too much salt in the process (due to the high salinity of typical dishes with umami flavor)
You're confusing salt with sodium - this enhances sodium ions, so it affects salt as well as MSG, which is tied to umami.
Umami != salty.

As a Briton, I see an awful lot more of America on TV than Japan. As a result then it's surely inherently more (likely to be) balanced/matching up with reality?
Compared to Japan; the only show I can think of that I've seen that's even sort of set there was The Man in the High Castle!
> As a result then it's surely inherently more (likely to be) balanced/matching up with reality?
I see almost nothing on TV that matches up with the actual daily life in America, so no - seeing more US TV doesn't help in that respect.
Is this a regional thing, or common in a specific discipline?
