To me the end result of this shifting landscape is something which has the attributes of Matrix. Matrix may have issues, but it's architecture and implementation is very resistant to bad actors. You can fork the server code and the ser

But also, if I fork the server, where central control can be applied, nobody else will be on my server. The client is only half the problem, and the most insignificant part in my view. I would rather have proprietary client with decentrali

Not sure what people see in Signal. Having the client be open source without having the infrastructure decentralized is pretty pointless and just sets it up for failing again when the organization controlling the central infrastructure star

What is the benefit of using a blockchain here? Why do you need distributed and decentralized consensus? I mean on the face of it this just makes no sense. What am I missing? EDIT: IMO https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitm

No, and if no other employers will offer you that rate, why are you entitled to it from your current employer?

The author really does not make that argument, they make the argument that your location does not affect your work, not that all people should get equal pay for equal work. But this ignores the fact that the labour market in the whole of th

How do you prove equal work? This is in the title, and in the article already the goal posts are moved to "same value" and "same duties". And the actual argument has nothing to do with equal value, work or duties even, a

Writing asynchronous code is trying to fix how your code is executed in the code itself. It is the wrong solution for a real problem. But I think what many people get wrong (not the person I'm replying to) is that how you write code an
