It's also related to the lack of diversity in tech. Arcane complexity affords an easy way to exclude people from the club in a passive-aggressive indirect way. It's similar to how some religions use complicated systems of ritual,

I've heard mobile -- they found that direct P2P was too taxing on (earlier) mobile devices. Wimpy mobile devices have been a significant factor in pushing everything to the cloud.

When he says things like "I will force company X to do Y" I find it hard to take him seriously as a small government or pro-property-rights candidate. My personal prediction is that if elected he will grow the size of government d

What's funny is that the message in Bitcoin's genesis block is about this. The idea of doing something better than current financial systems gained traction after the US Fed hard forked the dollar to fix the housing bubble crash.

There's an easy solution to that: create a caste system and ensure that knowledge workers (who are willing to tow the line) belong to the upper caste. Of course it's a Faustian bargain, but just make sure it's a cushy enough

One thing I suspect is that home construction, maintenance, and real estate sales and services are all a fantastic employment program. The suburbs were basically a postwar work program.

I've seen smaller ones do /128. Probably just cluelessness. The bigger issue is the need for a secure backplane, which will remain until all server software authenticates all sockets in a strong way.

Nothing against that either but some people can't do it due to hybrid deployments, providers that don't give you a /64, or providers that don't offer V6 at all. Currently Amazon, Google, and Azure have no native IPv6 sup

Anyone who writes crypto and does not give such a disclaimer is delusional. That makes me more confident, since it means the author respects the problem.

I don't find security FUD like this convincing. OpenSSL, which has more eyeballs on it than anything else, has had a rash of vulnerabilities. Go is also a safer language than C, which makes whole classes of bugs far less likely.
