Evan Prodromou has the unenviable task of making the whole ecosystem easy to understand. Thankfully he does that well. Things are logically laid out, there are comprehensive descriptions of even the most obscure parts of the spec, and it builds up nicely from the fundamentals.

The thing to know about low-level programming is: as you go lower, things actually get *easier*. The difficulty is a mirage. Instead it is maddeningly obscure. You can spend an hour studying to read 6 lines of SIMD and learn all it says is "a + b + c". mitchellh.com

"major portion of missing link has collapsed" NO. Boulders and debris have broken/damaged a retaining wall on top of the tunnel, much of it has fallen on the road below. But to frame it like the quoted text is just intentional fearmongering. Quoting @ss_suryawanshi The landslide at newly constructed missing link at Mumbai — Pune highway. The major portion of missing link has collapsed at entrance that caused traffic disruption at Mumbai to Pune highway. State govt authorities clearing the debris & fixing problem. @NewIndianXpress Related

Their words
That’s one of these standard different definitions that a lot of people in my field like to use in astrobiology is life as a self-sustaining chemical system capable of Darwinian evolution, which I was once quoted as agreeing with, and I was really offended because I hate that definition. I think it’s terrible, and I think it’s terrible that people use it. I think every word in that definition is actually wrong as a descriptor of life.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
