Another possibility is to assume the user is the authority and is always right. For example, if I post a tweet to my feed, I’m (or should be) the authority and always right.

CRDTs is how sync issues become non-issues. The “correct sync” is deterministically determined by the CRDT conflict resolution algorithm. There can be multiple DBs/stores per app or per user or per whatever makes sense. One big global

I have lack of imagination to think what kind of conflicts those would be, would you have examples? In my experience there’s always a logical way to solve conflicts. And CRDTs can have any kind of conflict resolution algorithm, so it’s cust

What are the semantic conflicts you mean here? As far as I can tell, CRDTs are the correct solution for syncing state between parties.

How about having the state 100% on server AND on client? No dragons, no problems.

Does it? If so, what do the bitcoin payments incentivize?

The previous comment didn’t ask for consensus for a social media or communication protocol specifically but rather was two steps ahead and was referring to the infrastructure that those protocols run on. Under the hood, there are various co

It seems to me it does require cryptos. Which luckily are based on cryptography so we all get to like the path forward :)

Think of cryptos more like “incentives to rational behavior” than “money” and it starts to make sense. You can incentivize, for example, data availability with cryptos and that opens the design space for distributed systems that don’t need

Have you read up on what Protocol Labs are doing? Sounds pretty useful to me living in the real world.

If the data is also local, which it can be and in many cases should be, there’s no network request round trip.

What I meant was that maybe we should discourage everyone to be “one person” online and rather encourage using multiple different identities and especially not posting party pics (or anything personal) under real names. Maybe we shouldn’t u

Why would you post your party pictures under the same name you apply for a job, and to everyone on the internet? Maybe those two should be separate?

No it wouldn’t.

This is beautiful! I wanted to talk with the other kids, I wanted to go over that hill. I wanted to feel the end of the day and the sunset. I feel the sea is somewhere near.

It does work at night, for about 4-6 months if you’re far enough North.

That’s just not true. Solar makes sense even in the far North, North of the arctic circle. I ran the numbers and deployed, it’s been profitable since day 1.

> These aren't the actions of countries that think Russia is in a losing position Quite the opposite. When sharks smell blood, there’s a feast. Or as investors would say, when things are down, there’s a good deal to be made.

None of what you said is true.

That’s just all FUD.

Permissionless, as in don’t need anyone’s approval and anyone can participate, transfer of value backed by trustless, as in don’t need to trust anyone’s word for it, global consensus system.

You may not remember 2008, but banks are absolutely, massively, a systematic risk to everyone, everywhere.

Can you give an example of what you’d consider “simple investments where the value is obvious” and where “a simpleton like all of us can guess if the price matches the underlying value”? I’m genuinely curious.

Those running crypto networks are accountable legally. Those running the currency are not.

Bitcoin’s value stems from its unique properties as a digital network and of its scarcity.
