If I made a zeno's paradox loop: bigFloat delta = 0.5 bigFloat total = 0.0 while total < 1.0: total+=delta delta*=0.5 Where does this fit in the model of using a loop invariant to show the loop terminates? T

that only works if you have a way to assure the JS has not being modified every time the page is ever loaded everywhere. That only works on a content addressed protocol like IPFS

"A STUN server is still used to find out your external IP for NAT-busting." essentially, now the STUN is the MITM. STUN server lies to both parties about what their IP addresses are and responds with IPs that it controls. Both par

The way I would make this work: - Build a DHT style overlay network of "meet in the middle" servers - Have a standalone html file, that uses websockets to connect to the network of servers. - Have both clients generate keys, excha

that might work well. I'm a little worried, that because the browser get it's own address from the server there might be a way to build a lie that looks plausible to both users, but I can't think of a way to do that off the t

A big problem is that webRTC is highly MITM-able. You have to exchange initial connections using a server. So no party has any way of knowing if you are MITM attacking. You might be able to do something diffie-helman shaped at the javascrip

Time. They don't actually ensure that the current OS is not in the wild, they just make sure it kept secret until they release it. They would need to protect the OS and people who made it (or can make it) forever. The reality is, simpl

Would it be possible for a company to issue profit earning shares to every US citizen? Right now, that would be on the order of $100 a person per year for the most profitable US companies but it is an interesting possible vehicle for a comp

I think a lot of the UrBit ideas are good, but the documentation and naming schemes leave a lot to be desired.

I guess the question is: How do we target them? We don't really think about it much, but there are a lot of methods of horizontal gene transfer even for larger animals (viruses, inter-"species" breeding). How do we make sure

I think I would mistake it for a modded nerf gun on first sight. That gun looks almost dangerously close to a Nerf Maverick.

Honestly, this likely presents the constraints too tightly. Dictators are likely ok (in the jargon of this proof)

Economic systems are optimizers (each with slightly different objective functions). One of the first things we learn about optimizers is that they are rarely globally suited to solving problems, and that the best technique is to identify an

You can free space, but how that happens is not explicit. The more people a file is requested by, the more places it is stored. If the file ceases to be requested, and all the participants decide to remove it from their caches, the file is

While running an IPFS node does supply some utility to the DHT, the primary utility you can provide to the network is providing files. You only provide files that you have previously accessed via IPFS or added yourself. So even without any

I've been working with embedding scale free graphs into a hyperbolic plane. I think it would make a good visualization tool for "hairball" graphs. What to have a chat about math?

You have invented kademila! As long as the network is "fully connected" by knowing all other members, topology will not really matter. If you use a Chord or pastry style skip list, you again have the exact same metrics as kademlia

Check out IPFS ( http://ipfs.io/ ) You can use it for git repos essentially out of the box by uploading your repo. It is made of content addressed chunks which will get re-used on each re-upload.

Honestly I think this might be the practical "moral way" to deal with AI. If they don't have a singularity style bootstrap and leave us behind. We should treat is like sub-ordinate mutualism. Only create new ones as needed, t
