This could just as well be said about opiates. Human's are not very good at regulating ourselves, when we encounter artificial signals that would have meant success in an earlier time. Not to mention minors, who do not yet have the phy

Will not help against human/AI hybrids. Use machine vision to decipher state of the game, and covertly suggest moves via audio or perhaps vibrations.

Is it that different from the way Google Analytics works?

As these generators get better, the amount of false positives will increase, eventually rendering the classifier as useless. A sybil-resistant method of authentication, where each entity is tied to a single human, seems to be the only way.

Besides the implicit endorsement, does it really change anything on the ground? Existing search engines are already censored in China, and those that wish to bypass via VPN, can still do so after Google releases their censored version.

Verification becomes difficult, when the system gains adoption and processes thousands of TX per second. Then the issue becomes about the trade-off between node resource requirements, and decentralization. Fundamentally, every node having t

You can trust that they have the private key corresponding the public key you associate with that entity.

A smart contract, once published, cannot be amended. Not entirely true. You can have storage variable pointing to an external contract which contains the logic, and this variable can be updating after deployment.

Adding to this, representative nodes (DPOS) do not get any rewards for being online and behaving correctly. Which is a recipe for tragedy of the commons. Worse yet, a voter can issue two conflicting votes, and the system has no mechanism le

Though it requires active participation from the participant, i.e. visiting the "infected" website. Whereas this method requires no actions on part of the server, beyond behaving normally.

You can prune the chain after you sync. As for the general issue of storing the state, there is research being done on "stateless clients". https://ethresear.ch/t/the-stateless-client-concept/172 Instea

You are forgetting there is a real time & cognitive cost associated with performing analysis, especially if you are already biased on the issue. It's the same reason people can't stick to diets. People want to feel good now. S

As it stands, block-chains do not scale. So it's hard to say if lack of adoption is due to lack of actual use cases, or inability to implement use-cases given state of the network. I think prediction markets may be one of the first rea

I don't know that this solves the problem, since competitors can just start leaving fake negative reviews on competing products.

The problem is, you are seeing people in completely different environments, some of which are infeasible for you to attain. Its worth noting, the issues related to income inequality are due to relative inequality, not absolute.

Talk about selection bias. Amazing how they extrapolate this to headlines like "A third of America wouldn’t care if Twitter disappeared". Would be nice to know how the study was performed, and how the population sampled.
