No, they couldn't be like everyone else and be a "department", proud mathematicians had to be an "Institute"!

Stack Overflow should pay its top contributors Updated +Created
One may dream.
If they belive that their reputation is a representative meaningful metric, then it should be fine!
And if not, then they should fix it.
Notably, more people would try to "game" the system by quickly answering lots of small impact answers which could tilt things off a bit. Not to mention straight out fraud.
So basically less money into developers doing useless new features for the website, and more money back into meaningful contributors.
How about 2k USD / month for the number one contributor of the year, going linearly down to 0 for the 200th? This would be 100k USD / month, so about 12 developers.

Disclaimer: closed source vendors tend to be highly secretive, solving small issues without any reply, so I use my best judgement given the lack of feedback.

Cool data embedded in the Bitcoin blockchain / Largest ordinal inscription Updated +Created
We can get a list of the ordinals at: archive.org/details/bitcoin-ordinal-inscriptions.csv and then sort them by payload size with:
sort -k6 -n -t, ordinals.csv -o ordinals-sort-size.csv
This shows to us that as of block ~831k, there are 4 ordinals which are far far larger than any other between 3 MiB and 4 MiB, at about 10x larger than then 5th one d115a6e689086fd587e5032f24ba2a8c01f2f87cba758c9d5eb8cf7f6e9a816a
In those cases, a single inscription takes almost the entire block, and the inscribers must have had direct dealings with their mining pool:
As of 2024, all of the big ones were made in early 2023, so it seems that the trend has died down a bit.

Europe Updated +Created
For the most part, a great pseudo-country to live in with lots of cultural diversity, art and safety.
However, Europe is in economic decline after all its Jewish and German geniuses fled in/after World War II and due to having more than one natural language is bad for the world.
