I appreciate the answer but I want to point out that I'd rather just write because I enjoy writing, not in the hope of finding an audience. My frustration is that I don't find writing intrinsically rewarding. I think that can come

I would like to have likes to pull/point me in a certain direction. I imagine a person without likes or dislikes to be basically stuck in space and time. By shallow I meant someone who needs external prodding to grow in a certain direc

Interesting that you're using ipfs. Didn't expect to see it in the wild. I'll try your experiment with my phone's memo app.

Thank you so much for taking the time to give a thought out, personal answer. At the risk of sounding really shallow, I think your AI example and this snippet describes me to a T. > A person with no taste of their own, who is unable to j

Actually I've been off FB, whatsapp, instagram, twitter, g+ for a while now. Even when I was using those platforms, I was a very sporadic user so I'm pretty sure I was never "addicted" to the notification icon. Yet, ther

I've had the same experience even with the 2nd or 3rd pages. Makes you wonder if google isn't suffering from grade inflation.

I did but that didn't work for me. Btw, were you on a Linode in a southern US city? - I changed DNSSEC to NO. - I had DNSmasq running which was apparently blocking systemd-resolved from binding to 127.0.0.1.53#53. I first changed dnsma

Well, just yesterday, I had to go back a release from Ubuntu 17.04 to 16.04 because of some oscure DNS related systemd-resolved bug which I spent all day trying to fix. Mind you, this bug has been under active discussion for a while now. Si

I used the personal example to elaborate on the idea that when you're transacting in business, you sometimes provide as little information as legally required. If the other party signs the dotted line, you are basically home free. I wa

Is actually caring for an Alzheimer's stricken relative a new phenomenon? Could it be that a hundred years ago, a chronically ill, continually deteriorating relative was just left in a room to waste away?

Good point @ reading only the first line. Letting people add comments can't derail the parsing too much.

We are looking into a few possibilities 1. Users pay a standard, fixed monthly rate into a pool from which we pay site owners. We hope this works like insurance where sporadic users underwrite power users and everyone wins. 2. Bring in Wall

Adblocking is essentially a commodity where companies use community curated blacklists to block ads. Our USP, though it isn't truly unique, is that it is a network level adblocker. No more installing 3-4 apps on each device on your net

We just wanted to make sure domain owners were setting up a guaranteed unique file name which was unlikely to be needed by some other service. Also, we wanted to minimize the amount of logic needed to start making payments which is why we a

Oh, i see what you mean. In some distant future when a lot of people are using Datajoy(DJ) to block ads, content creators will (hopefully) want to let in DJ users despite them blocking ads. The usual solution to a chicken/egg problem i

Not sure what you mean. If no one sets themselves up for payments, we don't lose any money while also continuing to block ads. Maybe I'm being dense but I don't see the chicken/egg issue.

by saimiam 9y ago
As of now, we are funding the payouts ourselves. Not scalable for sure so when it starts pinching the pocket, we'll have to figure out how to continue paying content creators.

If you have not read the post and came straight to the comments, you should read the post. I found it well written, thoughtful, and cognizant of its potential role in dictating what the future of the internet could look like.

I don't understand your downvotes. I agree with the overall point you are making. Private ownership, for better or worse, is leading to the erosion of free speech itself. Taken to its logical end, a society where everything is conducte

You know, it's at times like this that the term limited Presidency sounds like a wonderful idea. Imagine a Zuckerberg getting elected time and again because his minions have us convinced that we love him.
