Counter point, what gold really fixed? From a google search:
"Between all of the gold sources in the world, current estimates suggest that roughly 2,500 to 3,000 tons of new gold is mined each year. At present, experts believe that the total amount of above ground gold in the world stands at just over 190,000 tons."
I just pulled out my laptop and if they aren't cool with the solution I google'd in 30 seconds, they can test my critical thinking in another manner. That was my critical thinking and resolve under pressure.
These are nothing but shit test.
What are shit tests? When somebody fucks with your head to see how you will react, what you are experiencing is typically a (series of) shit test(s). Everyone has been shit tested, gets shit tested and will continue to be shit tested; We use shit tests to make value judgements about people, likewise they can be used to determine how people cope under pressure. The underlying mechanism of shit tests is to test your mettle.
The root cause is/and continues to be that we want HTTP to be an application protocol, which it was never intended to be or designed to be. I feel that until browsers behave more like independent operating systems / vms, this kind of tension between what we want to do and what we can do will always exists on the web as we know it...

I for one approve of this pre-emptive strike against robot-kind and skynet-like future. Especially after seeing the abuse we've put countless robots through. I mean, it's probably a good idea to have robots decentralized from google's AI.
I was diagnosed with a low grade diffused tumour about a year and a half ago after having a seizure at 26. I understand the difficulty of having to grok through all that terse information. That said, I found http://astrocytomaoptions.com/ by Stephen Western to be a helpful portal of information.

Code is not immutable. If there was a algorithm for MAX_SUPPLY immutability that would be something of interest.
