There are other ways of having a distributed immutable ledger than a blockchain, if you don't have the constraints of a decentralized adversarial context. You don't have this context for diplomas. Also, neither revocation nor secu

So I have this factory that builds objects. Building an object requires $X of energy. Because of a temporary malfunction in the factory, a few of them required 10 times that amount of energy. Are you saying that these selected objects that

Yes you should! And not only for ethical reasons (actually reproducible research, publicly financed work, etc), even if those are good enough by themselves. I've always published my research code. Thanks to that, one of the tools I wro

My story with Twitter is extremely similar to that of the author. I joined in April 2007 and was seventeen at the time. I think I totally understand the author's position on most subject, but I would be less enthusiastic nonetheless.

Please read the references I put elsewhere in this thread before saying such things. You are wrong. It's not a matter of opinion, it is a fact that some of his paintings are direct expression of his violence against women. And that his

I understand why you would say that, adolph. But first, Picasso's art is tightly linked to his misbehavior, and second, we're not even talking about Picasso's art here, we're discussing the name of a project which is a d
