I feel like IPFS is taking an interesting approach to this. They aren't trying to rebuild modern computing from scratch, however they are designing a tool which, as the name suggests, has the ability to scale basically unbounded. I

I'm not sure if this offers any additional features, but it seems like a similar tool to https://www.geogebra.org/calculator which I believe is also open source.

Is the person publishing this liable or just their source? Because this seems to be a hobby for the person publishing it and yet they also aren't concealing their identity. They list their former employer on their website.

Is releasing this legal? It seems like this person isn't really disguising their identity or concerned about breaking the law. In their profile they even seem to brag about leaking company's code.

To be honest I only posted this because I am highly confused and disturbed by it. I frankly could not understand the site and I can't tell whether its satire or legitimate. Could someone please explain what's going on here?

I have not read the article but in general: The problem I have with exponential is that you can’t have an exponential difference between two data points. Exponential is a measure of growth which can’t be seen with just two data points. Howe
