   For sure. It might be a totally serviceable approach.

   You can, but any shared address book needs to have a very clear scope of applicability. Basically: any users that are communicating need to either share the same registry, or have some clear indication that they aren't in order to avoi

   Basically petnames change the addressing architecture from “one global mapping” to “many local mappings.” This means that petnames cannot be used as shared identifiers; you use a global UUID when you need to identify information between use

   I actually use these extensively on my mac, believe it or not.

   This is epic. There’s a parser in there. Edit: this is explained a bit here [1]. It uses Template Literal Types[2]. 1 https://blog.joshuakgoldberg.com/type-system-game-engines/ 2 https://www.typescriptlang.o

   StepN sounds like a ponzi scheme with extra steps.

   Depends on who you're talking to, but I think the interest by crypto people in Uniswap suggests they're pretty aware of this problem and not excusing it.

   That adage is honestly just a way to call somebody soft.

    There's been some employee attrition and negative effects on company morale. I also think the brand-reputation damage of this episode will take time to show itself.

    That’s a huge assumption that inaction is equivalent to not making a decision

    IMO it’s a cross between the personal tastes of the creators and the emotional story they’re trying to convey. The aesthetic here, looking on mobile, seems to be trying to evoke memories of vacations, a sense of adventure, perhaps the mysti

    I see JSON-LD show up in a lot of standards-driven document formats and it's made sense to me in that context. For instance, in DIDs^1 the basic document shape is established by one standard but then the key material is often identifie

    Sorry to make you repeat yourself, but we’re looking at DIDs and I’d like to know your arguments against them. Do you mind linking to a comment or summarizing?

    Yeah. UI is unrefined in a way that is kind of fun in a Craigslisty way but doesn’t totally land for me. The core ideas of a social wiki never seemed to reveal themselves to me in a super interesting way

    Flashback to when leveldb was hot in the node ecosystem KV stores are fun but you end up writing a lot of queries and indexes manually

    There’s a number of projects circling around this architecture (mine included). DIDs, signed or encrypted user data, personal data servers, and essentially federated sync.

    I was much more nervous about the long running policy of cheap capital to be honest. I’m glad for a correction before it goes too long.

    The EV market is becoming extremely competitive. Not only are they not going to be the only game in town, they probably won’t have the best product. Tesla’s valuation has to come back from the moon at some point.

    I think that’s the right follow up question to explore - what establishes political legitimacy. Or perhaps more accurately, what best establishes political legitimacy. There’s arguably a vote in the sense that users of the network choose

    Ethereum has intentional soft and hard forks; whatever that process is, that’s it’s government. Whether that government chooses to address problems which challenge Ethereum‘s legitimacy is up to them.

    Got curious and did the math. Minimum federal wage is 7.25 in the US. 60 hours a week over 50 weeks is 3000 hours. Pretax that’s 21,750 a year. Food stamps qualification depends on household size. I got different numbers when I googled but

    The complexity caused the variety, not the other way around. Networked systems are inherently complex. Most of the technologies you mention are attempts to solve that complexity in some way, and the ones that stuck ended up being ideal for

    We're absolutely not vaporware. We're also completely happy to live in a world where both ActivityPub and Bluesky exist, and prioritize different problems with different approaches.

    Folks in the node ecosystem that are concerned about this should check out socket.dev. Feross and his team are doing really good work starting to address node_modules
