   Ah, I didn't even consider the commercial space! That's a good point - at enterprise scale, there are definitely huge cost savings. Smart factories or offices, for example. I'm really curious about the killer app for consumer

   > Last I heard it was pretty expensive to do a bitcoin transaction, and slow. There are more modern cryptocurrencies (e.g. Nano, Iota) that are instant & feeless. Nano, iirc, is either infinitely scalable or has an 7000 transactions-

   I'd happily attempt a startup/side-project that offers an API for non-tracking advertisements, but I don't think there's space in the market. It'd be very difficult to compete with the existing incumbent advertisers

   I ran around, jumped and played with other kids when I was a child. I also spent hours programming, and I bloody loved it. My parents don't so anything related to computer science, they had no idea what I was doing.

   So, if we as a society decide that American companies shall not aid and abet human rights violations elsewhere in the world, then that's what they do. Ah, I didn't realise we were discussing "entitled" from an

   Didn't they propose that "Google is not entitled to all the business it wants" without justification? I'm prodding for them to support the claim, because (as you said) the onus is on them.

    I'm sure it's possible to advertise without tracking. We did it for years.

    2. You're making it seem like Google is entitled to all the business it wants. That's not true in the least. Why not?

    Yeah, that's a dumb slide. It's true that most people don't need a blockchain, but most is not all.

    I like the idea, but does it track me? Can you guarantee that it doesn't?

    It often splits practical vs. theoretical concepts. One chapter might go over the theoretical scheduling algorithms, and then another might address practical solutions to internal fragmentation. Disclaimer: I'm definitely not an expe

    For further reading, I can't recommend enough this free book: http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/OSTEP/ It's fantastically well-written, yet detailed without being overwhelming.

    I don't think it's quite the same - this redesign takes so damn long to load. I'd be okay with it if it was snappy, but I takes over 5 seconds! Each page has mostly text!

    This is great! I made it all the way to 8, but couldn't win :) I like the idea of having to examine wind streams to plot your way through the map. This is an awesome tech demo, would be keen to see something more polished & fleshed

    I tried getting through Meditations, but I couldn't. Maybe I'm more used to long-form writings, rather than the short paragraphs? I could read them, but I felt like they didn't "sink in", even if I felt they were pr

    Was the 70yo triathlete just a triathlete in their younger years, or did they keep up the exercise as they got older? If you can remember, of course.

    Probably a dumb question, but doesn't copying & pasting protect against keylogging? The only key events being sent is CTRL+C and CTRL+V (or the mouse equivalent), and not the password keys themselves. Obviously this is an extreme

    Do you have any links on how to install it properly, and to test that? (Maybe through Wireshark or something similar) I admit I've haven't used it in-depth (although I've studied the protocol quite a bit)

    Yeah, Bitcoin-based consensus probably isn't the best choice for a project like this. I'd love to see a project that uses non-blockchain (but similarly publicly immutable) tech, like Nano or Iota. Still some issues with centralisa
