Weekends and 40 hour work week and no children working and health insurance aren't progress? But seriously this isn't about unions, this is about how money influences processes. Those with money get to make the rules because they

Actually what would be cool would be to release the data, and hold a contest related to it. Maybe one award track for interesting analysis, one for presentation of data. You could probably get some companies to sponsor it, as it's chea

I worry about specific implementations of software for decentralisation. You can ban or block an app, arrest it's creators, but it's a lot harder to ban a protocol that has a number of different implementations. Maybe there isn&

Meh I would have updated to 10 on my dual boot Window Linux Mint machine, but you need to have the latest updates on windows 7 to be able to even get 10, and even with the generous three days leeway I gave myself to back up, update, and rol

Speaking off the cuff, Rust doesn't have the market share. Node feels like it's still evolving at such a rapid pace that any framework is going to feel tired within a couple of years, if that. Revel is the closest thing to Rails
