I've been wondering about exactly this - the agreed upon blockchain problem. Why not localized meshnets based on Hyperboria ( http://hyperboria.net/ ). It can solve the problems of trusted blockchain - but you still have

Bang-on. But it's not just startups, it's companies - period. Stallman, love him or hate him is correct - in these cases, you're the product. If the source isn't open, or at least if enough of it isn't open, you ca

You're welcome to - I love it. I've never been happier. Like everything else there are pluses and minus, but I've found that professionally, I've been able to meet my goals in a way I never could as part of an organizati

The reality is that it depends on the narrative, teh story that you have. It's very easy to explain why you chose consulting (other than money), and have a narrative that resonates. I've found that consulting actually results in

You definitely weren't the 'bad guy' in this relationship. If anything, it looks like you were being taken advantage of. People deserve to be compensated (somehow) for their work - and it's somewhat clear to me that this

That's amazing news - thanks a tonne. Any chance there's someone at the mothership (maybe you!) we can reach out to, for support? Specifically I'd like to toss out some questions about data sources and whatnot - to understand

Get a labour lawyer, and get them on retainer. You may not need it, but that's fine. Lawyers hold funds in trust - not that anything can happen, but having them on retainer means that should you be in some sort of sticky situation, you

It does start to beg the question of whether or not we can trust TOR. Personally, I'm far more interested in meshnets, and other encrypted networks now.

It's also like the past. It blows my mind that the dystopian future we read about is always the UK - and that so much dystopian fiction comes out of Britain as well.

This is how it begins. First they come for TOR, then they come for VPNs. Eventually, they come for your SSL certs.

I see that as internet/communication specific. But with meshnets, darknets, increasingly privatized communication networks and the like, I see these as two separate callouts. The YC one is 'internet specific' - at least as I

While interesting - the thing that surprised me the most was not seeing "security" (take that for what you will) on the list. Given the year of disclosures, the heartbleed incident, and all other sorts of things - I feel like th

Can we standardize software testing? Should we standardize software testing? At some point, are we looking at standardizing an artistic science? What happens to software development, architectural design, or even music? Does the push to sta

Sorry, that was daft of me. I'm using One Time Password Backend ( http://apps.owncloud.com/content/show.php/One+Time+Password+... ), but again, with OC6... until tonight.

owncloud has two-factor support via Google Authenticator, I'm happy enough there. I use Authy to sync the tokens between my devices. Full caveat though: I never have a single device with both my tokens, and synced password database - j

Trading stock for equity is almost never worth it - as a basic reality. Clearly it is occasionally, or the system would collapse. Let's say you receive $40k in salary a year (versus equity), for 5 years (let's call that $200k, ju
