They are probably exchanges doing batch withdrawals (large number of outputs) or consolidating their holdings into a single large output for economic reasons (large number of inputs)
Most transactions will have two outputs. One is the actual destination and the other is change that goes back to the spender wallet. There is nothing unusual going on here.
A Bitcoin owner typically controls many addresses. It is typical to create a new address to receive change. But (apparently) sometimes an address is reused (to receive change), and that's the yellow
Not sure which audience you are targetting but I would love to read more on modern compiler design. There is very little information on the web on how to design a compiler to provide good error messages and code intelligence features even in the face of incomplete or incorrect source code.
The US is much richer than 80 years ago, so it’s way more likely than billionaires come from comfortable middle-class families, of which there are many more now. If Warren Buffett or any of the others mentioned had been born the year Mark Zuckerberg was born, they would have probably enjoyed a similar upbringing.
There's a PubSub implementation for IPFS that can provide support for dynamic content in this case. I'm pretty sure there is another way to provide fast updates through some indirection mechanism though.
I have quite a few years of experience with Django and in general, I have found it to be quite easy to set up. I don't think you can avoid much of what you describe with any other template engine, in Python or any other platform.
It depends what simplicity you mean. The Solidity compiler is very far from simple, so if you consider that part of the complexity incurred by using Solidity, then a reasonably small bytecode program might be much easier to audit. Consider that a typical smart contract is as simple as "if four out of these six addresses make the same proposal then execute it." You can basically write these things in hexadecimal without too much trouble.
Speaking seriously, there is an assembly for Ethereum called LLL. I would love to see code that performs exactly that example you mention and is easier to audit than the equivalent Solidity version.
