A purely p2p ping would help with non-centralized discovery, but it isn't easy. I'd be receptive to a proposal. Web Crawling is a reliable federated system that doesn't impede user freedoms. The crawlers are so fungible that

The decentralized approach removes a hard binding between the app provider and the user. When you post to Twitter, you add content to their site. When you post using the P2P web, you add content to a site you own. You retain ownership of th

We shouldn't let unresolved economics stop us, but here's what I've written previously: https://www.reddit.com/r/Rad_Decentralization/comments/5j878...

I guess we could ask Google to stop outperforming all their competitors. Two thoughts on this: - Maybe someday we'll find a way to do fully distributed services reliably. None of the global blockchain solutions are good enough, by my s

You can reach me at #dat or #beakerbrowser in freenode, in the Beaker mailing list [1], and on Twitter [2]. We're going to be writing about the concepts and architectures over the next couple months, and there are links to blogposts on

Yes, but you'll have to build from source right now. We don't have the resources to maintain multiple platform builds right now. (Sorry about that, I know it's a pain!)

Each Dat is controlled by an append-only log. When you swarm a dat, you poll for updates to the log via UDP, which is low cost. (I think Mafintosh may have put in a push mechanism too.) So yes, you are notified. That's why Beaker is ab

Yeah, Dat only transfers static bundles of files. Think of them as SPAs that are disconnected from a host. You can have them connect out to Web services, or use APIs built into the browser.

Yes definitely, it's just a matter resources. By 1.0, we'll have automated builds for Windows and presumably Debian/Ubuntu.

Hey all. This is the second time I'm submitting Beaker. First time was back in august.[1] Since then, we've done a lot to improve the browser and build on the ideas. I've written about the P2P Web here[2], and there's a

Im inclined to agree; the US market is too valuable for a corporation to ignore, and there's no simpler solution than rigorously pursuing collection.

by pfraze 10y ago
What the article doesn't do, is make the economic case that less corporate taxation will increase investment. Credit for that, I guess.
892.
by pfraze 10y ago
TL;DR: corporate taxes can not be collected effectively due to off-shoring, and so should be replaced with taxes on private income or on consumption. It doesn't make a very compelling case. Consumption taxes slow spending, and private

Can someone share some insight on the tax evasion case that's behind this? I'm told btc is regulated the same as stocks in the US, and you have to report every transaction on your taxes.

Depends on your perspective, I suppose. We speak ideals, we vote interests.

I have the same question for you as I have for jacobolus; even if that's the reality, I can still see a political angle to pushing a coal investment, since it was historically a large employer.
897.
by pfraze 10y ago
Do you think there isn't any remaining connection between labor and coal's political resilience? Coal-politics could be explained as a lobbied interest, but that doesn't feel like a complete enough picture to me.

Doubtful that it would involve a currency consensus, but the cryptographically-auditable log portion is right

Coal mining and related production is a large employer. It's about propping up small coal-towns.

I'm unsure whether the cost of resource expenditure really tracks that closely with the BtC value. Let's just assume BtC trade value against USD stays stable forever. For the BTC-value to equal the value of mined resources, If a B
