Why do blockchains need confirmations?
Because inclusion in a block is only part of the story. Additional blocks make reversing that history progressively harder. Simple interface. Different security model.

Our Co-General Editor has been allowed out again, using the (top deck of a double decker), bus as a tool for understanding local history. #Skystorians
On the bus and (a new and useful bit of accessibility legislation), stops have to be announced and named.
What I’m struck by is the embodied memory on this semI-rural route. There is no farm at Oakridge, Watts Cross is unmarked, Turner’s Nursery now under houses. Reminders of a lost mid century.

What happened to librarians who believe in books? With seemingly no student consultation, UNH is poised to get rid of 30% of its library books (with more culls planned). This isn't "weeding"; it's deforestation.
