Maybe Monero is a medium of exchange and not a speculative asset.

Yes: https://map.nycmesh.net/

they have 2370 nodes (and yes, a few "supernodes" like you're describing). the topology is good. it is absolutely a mesh in more than name.

When hurricaine Sandy hit new york, some neighborhoods were completely cut off and only had their mesh peers - which was able to provide important local connectivity to those people.

This looks somewhat promising. The supernodes are worrying ofc. Real mesh networks usually exhibit more of a small-world topology. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small-world_network

Nothing mythical about mesh networks.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guifi.net

to name a few.

And there's nothing mythical about the other two things you mentoined either, just look around the protocol you're using right now. Existence proofs abound.

Those a wireless networks. But are they "mesh", other than the name? Can I see a map of the topology? Melbourne had one like that once: https://www.melbournewireless.org.au/ It mostly worked by one guy installing an antenna on thebl roof of a skyscraper and everyone pointing theirs at that. 🤣

It would be a wholesale failure of open source if this were the case.

Sorry the "victims" are *alleged* victims, right?

So Neil Gaimans sexual assaults have hit the press, though they are predictably vague about what has happened.

"Allegations Surface: Neil Gaiman is facing multiple sexual assault allegations from eight women, including former employees and fans, with incidents spanning several years and locations.

Impact on Career: The allegations have led to significant professional repercussions for Gaiman, including the cancellation of several film and TV projects based on his works."

"Eight women have shared accounts of alleged assault, coercion, or abuse by Gaiman. The women were mostly in their 20s, with the youngest being 18, while Gaiman was in his 40s or older at the time of the alleged incidents. The accusations involve claims of non-consensual sexual acts and abuse of power dynamics."

"Defense of Neil Gaiman: Gaiman has denied all allegations, asserting that any interactions were consensual and part of BDSM practices."

"The literary crowd that had a hell of a lot to say about Harvey Weinstein before he was convicted has been strangely muted in its response to multiple accusations against Neil Gaiman.

— J.K. Rowling, Author"

Probably because NG has carefully cultivated a 'woke' publ7c image of himwelf over the years, and the literary milieu is drenched in wokeness.

Because most of the people there are creeps.

"Defense of Neil Gaiman: Supporters argue that the allegations should be thoroughly investigated before jumping to conclusions, emphasizing the importance of due process."

Due process is all of a sudden important when one of the wokesters are accused of serial SA?

How fucking convenient. What happened to Believe The Victims?

> What happened to Believe The Victims?

You mean the *alleged* victims?

Yeah orthodox jews are a worry, natives do occasionally serve afaik. The rest of the population do their part afaik but then again I'm not in military circles.
