- hinkley 7y agoAnd yet, a lot of people have been confused into thinking things like The Cloud are decentralized. I’m not sure how this got broken, but a few powerful companies seem to be running with it.
- core-questions 7y agoWell, relative to the tiny datacenter you might have for an office, it's "decentralized"... but yes, only in a marketing sense.
- SI_Rob 7y agoThe bar for grasping decentralization fatally flexible and bends very low. As in "If you can't immediately name the individual who has the majority of leverage over the operation of X, then X is decentralized" low. It's little more than an incantation at this point; the only proven implementation is as a sort of verbal ink blot test for identifying marks.

- machawinka 7y agoIt is descentralized across corporations. Pretty much a cartel.
