I enjoy things around information theory (and data compression), complexity theory (and cryptography), read hard scifi, currently work on weird ML (we'll see how it goes), am somewhat literal minded and have approximate knowledge of random things. I like when statements have truth values, and when things can be described simply (which is not exactly the same as shortly) and yet have interesting properties.
I live in the largest city of Switzerland (and yet have cow and sheep pastures and a swimmable lake within a few hundred meters of my place :)). I speak Polish, English, German, and can understand simple Swiss German and French.
If in doubt, please err on the side of being direct with me. I very much appreciate when people tell me that I'm being inaccurate. I think that satisfying people's curiosity is the most important thing I could be doing (and usually enjoy doing it). I am normally terse in my writing and would appreciate requests to verbosify.
I appreciate it if my grammar or style is corrected (in any of the languages I use here).

The problem of warning about a failure of the system that warns is similarly amusing.

What do you mean by decentralization? That of OSes, that of messaging protocols, or something else?
Physicists wielding ignorance as a super power
I've recently learned of jokes that people call "jokes in the sense of Littlewood" (I'm somewhat puzzled why a single example yielded the name though): https://mathoverflow.net/questions/38856/jokes-in-the-sense-of-littlewood-examples
I think the C standard prohibits that change: https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/language/type#Compatible_types
Disclaimer: likely confirmation bias.
I was somewhat surprised to realize that a few organizations I know of had ~1 leadership change in ~30 years of their existence (close to now than their creation) and the change actually worked out fine. In all the cases it was gradual, which might indicate that the plans you mention were there all along, or might be a different contributing factor for success.
US healthcare
Why care about point 1? I thought (and quick Google search seems to confirm) that breast cancer risk is affected by recent hormonal environment (as opposed to one that was around at some time during development). (Or did you mean that they wanted to include both women and transmen?)
