Big B Bitcoin as it exists today, you're 100% right. The fire burned too hot. But little b bitcoin, peer to peer electronic cash, that has a place in the world and it will do just fine given time. It's something we desperately nee

This is an interview with someone presented as some type of expert that obviously is not an expert. 1) it is not hard to get a silencer. You can make one in under an hour with cheap parts from a hardware store and a drill. 2) the CEO was at

So this is their solution to the huge problem they were facing. I don't know if I'm happy about this. On the plus side, India gets access to many scientific papers. "Many" is a huge understatement. India's future re

No license? What do you intend to license it as, I might want to use parts of it and want to make sure I don't violate it.

Wow, they're having this conversation on twitter? This is a subject that fascinates me and one I have strong, (I think at least) well informed opinions about. I should get on twitter (I won't). This article reads like it was hapha

Total shit article. This is people leaving twitter and then after the fact justifying it with some virtuous ideal espousing. Not only, if those ideals mattered to people they wouldn't have been on twitter in the first place, I bet 80%

We have a world run by cliques right now. Where we had guilds, now we have unions. Corporations, "the intelligence community", "healthcare workers", there are lots of different groups in society that often wild unique, r

I didn't get that reading from it at all, just that it was the state of the world in the story and it had it's benefits and downsides like anything else. It wasn't so much a dystopia than a prediction of where our networking,

That's a bad analogy. You don't have to act on the world viewing it through a paradigm.

Not by the current standard model, no, but there is a fundamental model, that we know a thing or two about at least, that describes the complexity we see happening around us.

Come on with this bs again. You'll never hear me siding with Meta on anything except this. They keep trying to blame them, they need to look in the mirror. Meta claims it delivers value to news organizations by helping them spread thei
