To interpret GP charitably I think they mean that Google is there not because they are a good search engine these days but because of inertia. For you as a site owner, Google is the best: it delivers the impressions. For a user who wants to

Look at it more like part of the education system. Because that is what it is. Nobody gets sent to Afghanistan as part of conscription. And, in my opinion, it has been some of the most valuable education I have got and something I'd de

Proof-of-work in its current form needs to die. If it is based on proof-of-work it needs to be something useful. If someone can prove proof-of-work won't work without wasted work then we need to make some sacrifices to make it workable
