A source of confusion for beginners is why binary messages exist in the first place when they could be implemented instead as keyword messages taking one argument as #lcm: and #gcd:; you could in fact, imagine an alternative syntax with only unary and keyword messages, but it would be cumbersome to read and write. Binary messages improve legibility without adding complexity.

Maybe it's the fact that there's more thoughts, ideas, and actual conversation in longer form media? Too much has moved to social media which really immediately implies small, bite-sized bits of information---a short note, a photo, a star or a heart.

Message Queuing Telemetry Transport MQTT protocol -> publish-subscribe network protocol that transports messages between devices, usually through TCP/IP

Protocol defines 2 network entities:

1. message broker -> receives messages from clients and then sends them to any clients subscribed to topic.
2. a number of clients ->

<table style="border: 1px solid black;"> <tr> <th style="border: 1px solid black;"> MQTT un-encrypted port </th> <th style="border: 1px solid black;"> MQTT encrypted port </th> </tr> <tr> <td style="border: 1px solid black;">**1883** </td> <td style="border: 1px solid black;">**8883** </td> </tr> </table>

Even works of art can convey a message (i.e. soft/thin lines can convey a more peaceful image than hard/thick lines on an image)

So that's where that came from...

1.152 The Lacedaemonians send a herald to Cyrus to give an order/ultimatum that no Greek cities be harmed or destroyed in conquest. Cyrus responds to this missive with confusion (and some derision) as he has no idea who the Spartans are.
