Over on lobste.rs, someone cited another article retracing the history of the Semantic Web: https://twobithistory.org/2018/05/27/semantic-web.html An interesting read in itself, and also points to Cory Doctor

Yes, but even that is more involvement: you need to create a new specific folder, add a device, share that folder, accept on the receiver, copy the file in the folder, and wait for full sync in the web ui. It's a much longer setup that

"Connectivity" here needs to be taken at large: syncthing needs to have a folder already shared between two machines. There's some setup involved that is not automatic. The entire setup phase of magic wormhole is "copy t

No, because that falls under the fallacy that every market is a perfect market, where none is. A perfect market is one where - alternatives can be created for little to no money so they can easily exist - consumers have an infinity of time,

My point isn't that a company shouldn't optimize for profit. My point is that the supposed logical conclusion stating "if it doesn't optimize for profit, then it will die" needs to be backed up by strong arguments.

Please, again, don't be so naive. You know that creating a company requires capital (not just financial, all of them), which only the richest have. By design.

Proof that underoptimizing for profit, not being non profitable, means going bust. Exactly what is quoted in fact.

My guess is that the very minimum they do is cut files in small blobs and analyze each one separately, so that kind of scheme (or adding random junk at the beginning or the middle or zipping it or ...) doesn't work.

But you don't really handle blobs in real life: they can't really be handled, they don't have memorable name (by design). So you need an abstractly layer on top of it. You can use zfs that will deduplicate similar blobs. You
