You know what kind of woman makes sure to buy the pebbly mud-colored mustard on her beach vacation. You can tell even at the beginning, before the horror begins to emerge, because Alam describes all of these luxuries with a loving precision that becomes its own form of judgment. Because Leave the World Behind does not think that the pleasures it is cataloging are neutral pleasures that can be enjoyed and then abandoned without thought. The trance only lasts for moments, though. At times, reading Leave the World Behind can put you in something approaching the same state of blank tranquility you find scrolling through a lifestyle influencer’s Instagram feed. All-white linens in the bathroom and the laundry soap hidden in a tasteful wooden box. Pasta tossed with herbs and garlic and that salted European butter that comes in a cylinder. Marble countertops and a copper pot-filler at the stove. This book is nearly encyclopedic in its accounting of the pleasures of modern bourgeois American life. The big thing in Rumaan Alam’s Leave the World Behind, the Vox Book Club’s June pick, is all of the, well, things. ![]() ![]() Pi will continue to adhere to the methodology of progressive decentralization as it develops its Testnet. Through this computer application, Pioneers can switch the node software on/off to make their devices available/unavailable for serving as a node. Instead of requiring deep technical knowledge to set up a node, everyday people will be able to do that by installing a desktop application on their computers. Unlike most other crypto projects, the Pi Node will continue to follow the philosophy of user-centric design. The security circles (See Pi FAQ: What are security circles?) from Pi mobile miners aggregate into a global trust graph that enables Pi Nodes to form quorum slices to determine who can and cannot validate transactions on the shared ledger. ![]() In SCP, nodes form trusted groups (quorum slices) and only agree to transactions that those trusted nodes agree to. Unlike nodes that use proof of work such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, Pi Node uses a different consensus algorithm based on the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP).

He was not usually in command of the many state militia units. The task he took on was enormous, balancing regional demands, competition among his subordinates, morale among the rank and file, attempts by Congress to manage the army's affairs too closely, requests by state governors for support, and an endless need for resources with which to feed, clothe, equip, arm, and move the troops. When the war broke out with the Battles of Lexington and Concord in April 1775, Congress appointed him the first commander-in-chief of the new Continental Army on June 14. He played the leading military role in the American Revolution. Washington, despite his youth, played a major role in the frontier wars against the French and Indians in the 1750s and 1760s.
