Vitamins are essential nutrients that are small organic compounds.

Mentioned at 100 Greatest Discoveries by the Discovery Channel (2004-2005) medicine episode.

Inferior compared to self-directed learning, but better than the traditional "everyone gets the same" approach.

Two lower case variants... both used in mathematical notation, and for some reason, in LaTeX \varphi is the one that actually looks like the default standard modern lowercase phi, while \phi is the weird one. I love life.

The strongest are:

Not end-to-end encrypted by default, WTF... you have to create "secret chats" for that:

You can't sync secret chats across devices, Signal handles that perfectly by sending E2EE messages across devices:This is a deal breaker because Ciro needs to type with his keyboard.

Desktop does not have secret chats: www.reddit.com/r/Telegram/comments/9beku1/telegram_desktop_secret_chat/ This is likey because it does not store chats locally, it just loads from server every time as of 2019: www.reddit.com/r/Telegram/comments/baqs63/where_are_chats_stored_on_telegram_desktop/ just like the web version. So it cannot have a private key.

Allows you to register a public username and not have to share phone number with contacts: telegram.org/blog/usernames-and-secret-chats-v2.

Has Reproducible builds on Android and iOS: core.telegram.org/reproducible-builds

Self deleting messages added to secret chats in Q1 2021: telegram.org/blog/autodelete-inv2

Can delete messages from the device of the person you sent it to, no matter how old.

This section is about telecommunication systems that are based on top of telephone lines.

Telephone lines were ubiquitous from early on, and many technologies used them to send data, including much after regular phone calls became obsolete with VoIP.

These market forces tended to eventually crush non-telephone-based systems such as telex. Maybe in that case it was just that the name sounded like a thing of the 50's. But still. Dead.

The first working one in 1947 by John Bardeen and walter Brattain in Bell Labs Murray Hill.

People had already patented a lot of stuff before without being able to make them work. Nonsense.

As the name suggests, this is not very sturdy, and was quickly replaced by bipolar junction transistor.

The perfect Middle Way between command-line interfaces and GUIs. A thing of great beauty.
