SEPA seems to have no problem moving sub-euro amounts. I am not an entrepreneur, but I did send single euro amounts to my friends. Is it more difficult in USA?
My impression from Germany is that while private accounts often have no transaction fees (and are either completely free, or charge a flat monthly fee), with business accounts it's not that unusual to have transaction fees of up to ten or even twenty cent per transaction.
I got interested in that after your comment, and apparently there are two main reasons for that.
1. Oxygen is being produced in stars by so-called CNO cycle [0], which is how stars heavier than our sun mostly do their fusion. More intriguing question is why there's more oxygen than carbon or nitrogen (which, as implied by the name of the process, are also created), but that's a different topic.
2. Additionally, oxygen-16 is a particularly stable isotope, as its nucleus has “doubly magic” [1] amount of constituents, so it doesn't get destroyed in other processes.

The RPi SoC is an exception here - most ARMv8 SoCs should have AES instructions.

True, but I don't think the expectation is to utilize that throughput with a single application, rather, to still have fast I/O even under load or with multiple applications, and to satisfy burst I/O quickly.
You are willing to pay only if someone more wealthy that you pays, but you expect people who scrape for a living to pay more for their energy and fuel expenses because it's just a mild inconvenience for the greater good?

That's absolutely common practice in places where you can accrue PTO without limits. People rest with compensation they earned and then leave re-energized. And that's a good thing.
You can, but the experience sucks for families. If you want shared access to your family photos or music collection, you kinda need a shared account. But you probably don't want your family members to read all your email, so you need separate accounts. And what if you want to email a photo from the shared account? You end up having to switch accounts all the time, and the experience sucks.
The result is that people just use web apps like Gmail instead of native apps, because it's a lot easier to sign in and out of services.
Am Russian, am vaccinated with Sputnik V, would do it again. Yes, the study was rushed and details were missing, but, eventually, all things got in order.
And it's a real working vaccine, effects of which I see basically every day on my friends.
Yes: unless a vaccine is harmful, it’s better to have than not. Higher effectiveness is better, of course, but if there was ever a time to say “don’t let perfect be the enemy of good”, it’s during a raging pandemic.
It is better than nothing. But it’s a far cry from the best vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna, and to a lesser degree, AstraZeneca), which protect against novel variants and can produce some level of herd immunity.
