  • It looks good. Every culture that's found gold has made jewellery out of it. The rest follows from there.

    It doesn't tarnish, so once you've already decided it looks good, you then notice it doesn't age or spoil like pretty much everything else. That gives it a magical aura and allure.

    It's fungible (consistent and exchangeable).. gold here looks exactly the same as gold there

    It's malleable - can be easier subdivided into units for exchange. Can readily be worked into attractive decoration.

    Although it's rare this isn't what drove is attractiveness (the Inca had abundant gold and still chose it to make jewellery out of, it just looks better, even if there's a lot of it), but scarcity did help it become a reliable store of value across the middle east, africa, asia and europe.

  • The thought tends to go I) internal birth rates are failing because the cost of raising a family is too high ii) part of that cost is driven by high accommodation costs and downward pressure on wages iii) both of these are alleviated if immigration is restricted

    I've no idea if that would actually work, but the logic makes some sense (obvious flaw being if you restrict immigration you lose workers now but internal births take a couple of decades to compensate)

  • So, I'm a bit rusty, but I believe in Kate you would hit F4 to get a terminal window and you would execute

    gcc your_file.c -o your_output_file

    Then after that's run you'd type just "your_output_file" and hit enter

    I think on windows you'd need to make sure the output file name ends with .exe but I'm not sure about that, maybe someone else can chime in?
