Nobody is arguing that, but it's certainly less likely to go down or be lost than a typical direct download link. It's also easier/cheaper to self-host very popular repos with P2P, because it scales nicely.

Sounds interesting. If you don't mind me asking, what sort of computation requires synchronization across data centers? And why couldn't it be done with NTP?

Central banks fought the 2007 crisis by increasing the monetary supply of a receding economy, so I don't see how removing the intermediaries and having the central bank itself allocate the resources in a fair way could make things wors

Canary Islands has one of the lowest property taxes in Spain: 0.3% rural and 0.5% urban (+0.05% if it's unoccupied). Obviously not enough judging by the ~20% of empty houses. It's easy to blame tourists and/or immigrants but
