Sometimes the reasons are historical or due to the fact that certain mathematical objects weren’t yet developed at the time, or just not known to the mathematician.

As an example take James Maxwell, when he worked on what are now called Maxwell’s equations, he didn’t use vector notation, and they were a bit less than 2 dozen equations, now they’re more commonly taught with vector notation and are written more concisely as four equations, going even further using tensors you can group them into two equations only.

He says near the end “all that’s left is gold, and central bank digital currencies”, I don’t understand why the latter is resistant to censorship or seizure. I get why it may be the case with gold and bitcoin. Anyone know why CBDC is grouped with those two?

If they’re third party tools and not built-in features of lemmy/piefed, why does this reflect badly on them? And wouldn’t a mod at mbin be able to implement them in their community?

And yet she didn’t recognize the “real hurt” that the bombing of Gaza is causing Gazans.
