From what I understand from the ipld.io website, IPLD allows to add links to any content-adressable systems. BitTorrent + IPLD could be an alternative to IPFS, I guess? (BTW, notice that BitTorrent isnt used as an example on the front page)

That's a nice initiative. BitTorrent files are also content addressable, and the DHT allows for routing to several provider nodes. Only files that are downloaded are shared too. What's the plus-value of IPFS over BitTorrent in thi

Google is a corporation responsible for thousands people job (so your analogy is irrelevant) that complies with the European Union laws. If Google does things under the hood, it will be noticed, and it will be exposed to a potential 4% fi

Does everyone really think Linus will change 30 years of past behavior at his age? The bits about how Git was created, and the mention of automated tools at the end make me believe Linus will come up with a new shiny tool. Or maybe he hope

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if an instance wants to comply with the recent EU laws about copyrights, GDRP, anti-hate speech, etc, filtering on the server is mandatory anyway. As I understand it, "qualifiers" give the same fi

In Paris, some stores started to open on Sunday. I find it useful, and I now prefer when stores are open on Sunday. You can buy anything on Internet on Sunday, electricity and water are available on Sunday, telecommunications are available

I have been starting to read TASS news in parallel to Reuters' feed. From only reading news, I don't know which side to trust anymore. Putin's gov denies almost all accusations (cyberattacks, chimical attacks, nerve agents, e

Please someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think your link is the latest version. It says 2016 because the procedure started in 2016, the linked document itself has been updated with the following amendments : http://www

For the anecdote, Nils Torvalds, the father of Linus, is one of the many authors of this text law. I'm from EU, I had the time to look at the recent amendments about this law, in which they added precisions about the fair use of data,

When we think about decentralization, we sometime think about uncontrolled extreme decentralization. That's the ideal : no single point of failure, with everyone hosting their data where they want, and deciding who access what about th

And yet, if you ask anyone in the street about what they think about "complex systems", I bet most of them would have a negative sentiment. (if anyone knows a study that goes in that direction, please share). A smartphone is argua

Anyone on Earth can rent IPs from Russia to perform cyber attack on USA, and then scapegoat Russia...

If you look for "tensorflow raspberry" on a search engine, you will find several pointers about running TF on cheaper hardware. You would probably get about 1 frame per second with it. You may also look at recent SnapDragon-powere
