It sounds like the main benefit to Elixir is that message handling is built into the language. How does that compare to using a message queue service like zeromq?

BP doesn't do anything that couldn't be facilitated by a P2P system. If someone built a P2P classifieds app - should the developer be responsible for everything listed? I think policing should fall 100% on the police. If something

Ethereum is a bet that contracts will be able to become digitized, decentralized and trustless to a greater degree. Forget about the technicalities for a second. If it's theoretically possible - what's the value of that tool? In

If this is real then wow.. do Facebook employees know this is happening? Or are they just okay working for a company like that? If you work for Zuck I'd love to hear your take on this.

It's not even a tax. It's an alternative (and likely better) work flow. Online and remote-first processes should be the default. Why? Because you can record them, distribute them, play them back and use them as a reference. Even i

If GP values adoption as the path to censorship resistance - then maybe their product will include backdoors to "stay compliant". For example, when you receive a NSL - do you pull a Lavabit and close shop, or do you backdoor your

Github is a centralized service so I don't know if the comparison is fair. Perhaps a better comparison is Bitcoin's adoption given the rhetoric of early adopters. It seems to me the whole point of decentralized services is to evad

But how do you judge uber if you can't trust journalistic integrity? The very people you trust to think for you are unqualified - which leads me to believe so is your opinion. This seems to be the problem with Fake News.
