CFS completed the first of 18 coils on their prototype device last October, and it worked better than expected, far more than enough for commercially viable fusion plants. Their prototype is scheduled to be completed and lit up in 2025, and

You don't need to know people personally to trust a signature, you just need to know that the organizations they're coming from are at least somewhat reputable. Ideally, signatures should all chain up to the root of trust in your

Thank you! I feel like I'm going crazy here. IMO it's much more fun to watch humans teaming up with machines to compete in games of strategy, and given where we're headed in this world, these are exactly the kinds of games we

Running random binaries is also a terrible idea. They should be packages that integrate with your local package manager, and which are signed by some entity that you've decided to trust.

There are several good reasons why WhatsApp bugs sell for 1.5 million dollars, and Telegram bugs sell for only $500k. It mostly comes down to supply and demand. https://zerodium.com/program.html

I have the default browser on my Pixel 5a set to Brave, and everything opens in Brave. I have the Google news feed disabled, but links from gmail and the search window all open Brave as expected.

This is really the ideal move. Let Coinbase lawyers figure it out. They have the legal expertise and better resources to determine potential connections to crime than anyone else does. If Coinbase seizes the money, that's fine. If they

You don't need to be a staker to use Ethereum either. You can also stake with a few clicks on a website if you're using a web3 capable browser. You don't need to buy anything fancy or even open up a terminal if you don't

You need 32 ETH to run your own staking node, but there are many options for liquid staking, which can be done with any denomination of ETH.

PoS pays the people who run the infrastructure. Someone has to run it, and it's trivial for anyone to participate. If you have 5 dollars you can stake it in the PoS network and earn rewards. The barrier for entry in the legacy financia

#2 is the most important one to me, so I'll address that specifically. MOST games I've seen don't provide a public API for players to interact with, and even when players do reverse engineer them, they get accused of cheati

In my opinion, nothing has ever come close to the rich economic system that emerged naturally in Diablo 2. Maybe it just hit me at a good time in my life, towards the end of high school. I spent probably half my time playing that game just

The status quo in gaming today is that people work thousands, or 10s of thousands of hours building, collecting, exploring, etc, and it's all owned by some emotionless gaming company that might just decide to delete all your stuff, or

When the FBI asked Apple to build tools to attack customers, Apple said no. Cloudflare could have just dropped RaidForums as a customer, but they went the extra mile and built tools to facilitate an attack of RF users.

Cloudflare recently hijacked the domain of one of their customers (RaidForums), then cloned the RaidForums login page, and ran a phishing campaign at the behest of the FBI for two weeks. I understand that you have to comply with law enforce

Not really. The Ethereum whitepaper was 2013, and I'm pretty sure the first Web3 stuff talking about Ethereum(execution)+Swarm(storage)+Whisper(signalling) was 2014, and IPFS was launched in 2015. IPFS worked well enough that people lo

by px43 4y ago
Yeah, doing crime on IPFS is a really bad idea. I talked with Juan Benet about this in maybe 2016 or so, and he said it's a feature, which is fair enough. Privacy is very much not the goal of IPFS, and never has been. Not only is it ob

by px43 4y ago
Yeah, there are something like four major public IPFS gateways, one run by Cloudflare, one run by Protocol Labs, or you can just run your own node, which is something that many thousands of people are doing.
