Unpopular opinon because its not backed by data. We can use terrist events in countries that don't live under a panopticon as a control group. Mass surveillance is not improving general safety.

I've been following DID for a while and I really don't think its the right approach. The voices of concern from Mozilla and Google are spot on: the DID specs expect everyone to coordinate on finding the right structure for differe

At least in crypto, most founders are getting absurdly wealthy independently of their ability to execute or even bring a working product to market.

For cookie clicker and factorio the math was simple enough that you could mostly do it in your head, plus each of them had wikis that spelled out all the answers. I think you only really need a spreadsheet if the numbers are dynamic and con

It's about the lesson more than anything else. I really want my kids to learn how to save and be well practiced at it, even though the utility function doesn't make a ton of sense.

I don't think its that simple. The fact that you can name most all of them in a few words is evidence enough that its like striking lightning. And, with the exception of Facebook, all of them represent completely new ideas rather than

What bothers me the most is how difficult it is to compete with the incumbents. We all want something better. We all have ideas of what better looks like. We've all (or many of us anyway) have tried alternatives. But you essentially ca

Where did you get 100 milliseconds? On your phone it should be closer to 1ms.

I think you'd be surprised. People take a lot of pride in their work and in their professionalism. Crypto has many examples of people leaving $100m+ on the table so they can properly fix a vulnerability.

Even though the damage types are not analogous people still want a crude metaphor for how "big" the blast was. Since people are going to compare it to a nuke regardless you might as well have some rough criteria for how a comparis

its the smallest number that tells you how many moves are required to solve a rubiks cube, regardless of how that cube was scrambled. lower is better, so its a minimum.

Defense in depth - have several independent layers of security so you have some breathing room to fix things if one of the layers is fully compromised.

You need 8 bits to do 48dB, so if you want your music to have 96dB of dynamic range and you want your editor to be able to slide things around 48dB without perceptible loss of quality, you need to record at 24 bits of depth. If you record a

The storage on the network is being subsidized to the tune of $20 million per month, which means there's a massive oversupply of storage and nobody buying it, hence very cheap prices.

I know nothing about farming but there's a global manufacturing shortage right now that is making new parts and new machines scarce, which puts a lot of pressure on the used parts market. I'm guessing there's not much special

Skynet operates on a freemium model where users get 20mbps and 100 GB of storage for free and significantly more if they pay (80mbps and 1 TB for $5/mo). This is what pays the bills, and also how things stay pinned.

Cryptocurrency is different from storage because cryptocurrency needs to provide global consistency guarantees. Skynet is a decentralized network with lookup times that have a p50 TTFB of under 200ms. It achieves this by looking things up d

If you want to optimize for latency, you can't use a DHT. You need something that goes point-to-point instead of routing through a series of machines.

The IPFS network tends to run quickly if the file you are fetching is stored in the cache of either ipfs.io or in the cache of cloudflare. Everything else has lookup times of 30-60 seconds, sometimes more. DHTs just aren't a good choic

Skynet fetches files in under 100ms, you can definitely get a decentralized system going as fast as the centralized web if you build it right. The main challenge for me with this comment is that you can't expect distributed/decent
