   I don't think its density would make it worth anything. It could be used in transit though I suppose

   Or that grease can be captured processed and burnt to reach the speed faster, (though I'm reading elsewhere the density is so thin there's no point almost)

   I think spam is going to be a problem to control, it's also a matter of time before fake accounts are a thing.

   Yes I think the next step to avoid that is to own your own domain name. If you own your domain name you can have a provider die, and you'll still be able to re import your data on a new provider, assuming you're able to set up a D

   I don't think your cellular provider would stop you from accessing ipv4 addresses, it just starts the first hop on ipv6, then tunnels it for you to wherever you're trying to reach. The ultimate goal being decommissioning the tunne

   I don't think it should be ISPs that should offer such services. I got bitten once back in the days when I had an AOL email address. Changing ISP then became a complete mess, and unlike changing mobile phone provider you can't por

    I can see why the opposite might be valid, if you recently lost someone the last thing you want is argue with Facebook that yes, that loved one is indeed dead. Probably needs some better rules but that part needs to be as painless as possib

    Yet adoption is still growing exponentially https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html It's not as fast as past me would have hoped for and I think the criticism is perfectly valid but I'm

    That's absolutely correct, my point was that once you've done the math - and assuming you are still paying a mortgage - it should give you a rent high enough such that no-one would agree to take it, unless you are willing to keep

    > In a free market, rent will always be higher than cost of a property. If it were less, the property is an unprofitable investment and should be divested. That's assuming you finance your property with debt and let someone else pay

    To each network their pros and cons, I think if you look at it from a pirating point of view, torrents seems to tick all the technical boxes. If you talk about it in terms of corporate use / pirating fads / user experience etc. I

    Without knowing I would assume IPFS is built on TCP, wouldn't that be an issue?

    Yeah, I would recommend embedding wikipedia, duolingo, a whole bunch of TV series and movies, the top 10% of spotify, the top 10% of youtube, and the top 10% of steam. It's not perfect but assuming you can make a static version of thes

    It's fairly common in Europe to have trains go fast, even on short distances. Some London tube line (Victoria line, metropolitan line) got faster than that train. Don't get me wrong, definitely a great step in the right direction.

    That question is asked to an English programming community - mainly western-ish - , the answer is therefore going to be heavily biased towards it. I'm sure there are many non English programming communities, but somehow the pieces that

    I see your point, but if the remaining problem to solve in our civilisation is what type of screw heads then we're doing pretty good :)

    Same, I'd much rather it relies on my phone's computation power and act as a display to show the map and blast the music in the speakers. I don't care if the connection is cable, bluetooth wifi etc.
