I can give you a proof for (1). Use manhattan distance. Take an arbitrary point P. Sand can not get arbitrarily far from P.[0] Thus there is a highest distance n from P sand can reach. Whenever sand collapses, at least one grain gets furt

That's a very high bar to set :) No it hasn't been validated for that use case for that large a system. Some examples where it has been used: PGP uses web of trust to validate keys. Freenet boards used web of trust to succesfully

I think one problem is that we have become disconnected from the food production. If a fruit looks different from what we are used to, we don't know if that means it will taste bad, or even dangerous to eat. I think stronger brands cou

Serving malicious scripts is very bad, and may not actually be accepted. I know I would hesitate to use baidu analytics after this. But people might come around if they say something about SSL and wont happen again. If the encryption is the

You're implicitly assuming that production is "hand-bound". It could also be bounded by natural resources. For example even if the number of mouths to feed increases, the number of farmers cannot increase beyond what there is

Wow this must be a major blow to Baidu. This time their scripts was hijacked to DDoS, not that bad. Since we all know that the Chinese government would never do a thing like this, it must mean that there is a very powerful hacker group behi

Odds are the black market guys find out. I don't know how the market works, but I'd be pretty pissed if I had bought a hole just for it to be patched soon after.
