Using blockchain ontop of IPFS is to provide incentives. I don't know what is "questionable" about Filecoin, it seems fine to me. I used IPFS before blockchain but mostly just to play around with, never for any serious projec

I think you are mistaken in 2 aspects. Blockchain != web3. Blockchain + cryptocurrencies make up a large part of web3 because they provide an incentive mechanism to be decentralized. Web3 is about decentralization, other solutions that foll

well the case is that if github keeps going down and becomes completely unreliable you can take your decentralized code and more it to a different provider. Those other providers will also have value added stuff and you will not lose the co

I personally think facebook saw itself dieing which is why it focused so hard on the Metaverse and acquiring companies. Facebook as its own product may die but the company will probably live on in some form or another. I feel like unlike Ya

Without decentralization you wouldn't have "A few Telco's" you would have 1 global telco. The most hardcore form of decentralization usually means that there is no centralization ontop of the decentralize medium. I think

My opinion is that the backbone should always be decentralized and open. i.e. the internet. What is built ontop of it can be pseudo-centralized and/or regulated if needed but there is always the technical ability to re-decentralize if

I don't think so. They are creating the metaphor that banks == blockchain implementation + stakeholders, money == blockchain tokens. Currently most of the cryptocurrencies you see with ICOs are just erc20 tokens ontop of ETH (therefore

Well the governments job is to create laws to make it easier for humans to live together. Even if Gattaca style gene selection is available, laws can be put into place to prevent discrimination. I.e. it is 100% illegal to do genetic testing

I was thinking the same thing when I saw this article. Just need 1 russian to pin it to a local russian based IPFS node and they are good. Get others to pin it from there as needed.

I would rather have a government that tries and builds solutions that are not the most optimal rather than giving up and not doing anything. Solutions do not have to be the best all the time, just better than what exists. Constant iterative

I don't think the poster said anything about goodness. Goodness is subjective, originality implies creativity. I personally also want to see more original works in books, movies, tv, and games. After getting into any medium for awhile

France is only going to continue fund the Russian military for 5 more years. It is nice that they are speeding up the process away from fossil fuels, but 5 more years of funding a military invasion is 5 years too much. I didn'
