It thrills me to no end that there aren’t a bunch of snarky comments about “OH THIS PROVES SIGNAL IS A TOOL OF THE NSA!!”. Open-source software is great because you can find bugs like this by inspecting the software. Anything that is relate

Bruce Schneier articulated the backdoor problem best: ‘We can design beautiful locks but we can’t keep the master key safe’. If we can’t keep other nations from stealing the nuclear bomb plans, how do we expect to keep the master spy key sa

We need like 1000x more cell sites working in coordination. Think slightly bigger than picocells. There are a bunch of proposals on how to do this (I think Artemis networks is one if I remember the name). The problem is that existing roof r

You should read the Kingsbury Accord and the history of the FCC. The origin of the FCC is fascinating.

GPON is the least over provisioned of these, but it is definitely overprovisioned. DSL is the worst. Local VRADs just get slammed, particularly in areas with long connection runs.

Basically every telecom network is built as fiber to the node not fiber to the premises. The nasty truth of all communication and transportation systems is that arteries are cheap and capillaries are expensive. If I am building roads, it is

This is the best analysis I have ever seen on this subject. Kauffman is probably the only major investor that has enough exposure to do this (none of the Vcs they’re invested in are going to cut them). https://papers.ssrn.com&#x2

There’s a lot of different veils to privacy in transactions. There’s the IP record of the user hitting the server that processes their request (it might be your own box if you’re storing the whole chain yourself but most people use thin cli

Who does the backhaul for these networks? If it's regular ISPs, aren't all of the participants just violating their ISP terms and conditions?

Have you been in an earthquake before? I remember sleeping during a quake and then waking up right before the main shock hit. I’m not sure what woke me up, it could’ve been a preliminary shock, but I very vividly remember being jolted awake

Congratulations to Facebook for releasing code. I’m excited to see how the industry evolves. We look forward to showing the world what we’ve been working on at MobileCoin when it’s ready. Privacy matters.

I tend to think of ethics as a subset of logic with a side of pathology, whereas love (eros) is a singular category. I guess if I had to really sort it, I would only talk about love and power, in that order, but I think it's more addre
