I didn't even know this. That's a great example of how interesting you can get with the incentives system, makes me so excited for the future.

It's like giving a kid a prebuilt Lego model and expecting them to never take it apart and build something else. No sane parent would expect that, I wonder why I keep all my creative ideas to myself and struggle with motivation problem

Being unable to pay for something you need to live your life is bvb the same as having no agency over ones life. I see no difference. Sure, if you found that no one was willing to provide you with the money you required to make decisions an

It isn't money. Its agency over your own life. Money is how we currently regulate and monitor the agency our citizens have over there lives and those around them. Finding better ways to grant and assert agency over one's own life

I'd argue economics is a system that requires decentralization as well. Now with cryotocurrencies the burden required to get a seat at the table went from basically an impossible game of politics and expression of violence/dominan

If you attach a signed monetary transaction cost using a decentralized smart contract transaction system to sending email to a federated host I hypothesize that spam would start dwindling. Email, IMO, largely grew into a centralized system

I'd argue that its now even easier to combat spam using decentralization technologies. If you gateway all actions prone to spam with a signed transaction to a smart contract platform, where that execution costs the spammer real value f

It really does. Our codebase is very large and I'm a member of the team responsible for the build system and language tooling. Java library resolving in our repo can take 45mins from a clean build. Python is better, and we've mana

Standing desks in open offices make me feel uncomfortable. I get pretty bad anxiety when I feel like I'm bothering someone else so I tend to try and only stand when my neighbors are standing. At home office desk is 100% standing, DIY t

There is a lot of disinformation about ethereum due to the economic incentive that I think is discouraging well established engineers from looking to ethereum as a good piece of infrastructure to use moving forward. It's also just miss

I've been trying to figure this out as well. A few of my ideas. Payouts could be based on having the largest unique set of hashes. So this should make a server excited to see something it hasn't seen before, and would discourage i

Can't you tar the python venv and sign it as well? Might be more difficult to get reproducible builds tgisbway, but it's sort of the same thing isn't it?

Using bitcoin(I know less about how to store data into bitcoin transactions) you can execute a transaction and store a small piece of data that would be a reference to a larger blob of data, say an IPFS hash to an encrypted MRI image and th

The only difference is the consensus algorithm. A git repo is proof of authority, or proof of access rights.

You need that text file signed by your previous doctors, and your new doctor needs to be able to verify the public keys of your previous doctors using some type of PKI. You also need to locally manage your health records data, its storage c

The difference here is that the source code for the EVM is open source and auditable. And I wouldn't use a smart contract that isn't the same, open source and auditable. This is my realm of expertise, this is how I think about sys

IMO one of the best use cases is DNS records. Using a p2p blockchain means I don't need to make any external network calls to lookup addresses. It also means, that if I trust my local client hasn't been compromised then all addres

PKI is now quite trivial. It's easy for anyone to keep a log mapping a public key to some type of identifier.

Good use case for IPFS. You could curl a hash and check that hash against signatures commited to a blockchain. If the set of signatures exist that you trust, then it's golden, if not, no exec.

It's all a scam to make functioning CPUS obsolete. It's a key to turn on a planned obsolescence.
