It's not searh itself that lends itself naturally to monopoly - it's indexing. Indexing the billions of web pages that make up the open web is extremely expensive (and sometimes not allowed for anyone but google...). Moreover, it

The tax would presumably be proportional to (or at least a function of) the amount of use. If the only time a person relied on the road was when they needed an emergency service, then they would pay very little tax indeed. If someone decide

One possible system for ensuring domains would be fairly used is a google based one: When you register a domain, it initially sits alongside a high entropy string, like mything.3ku23j9. You then get traffic and links to go to your domain. I

There is a header one can set, as an alternative to HPKP, that will merely notify you in the event of a misissuance, rather than block off your domain. Perhaps that would be preferable?

Satoshi Dice seems to solve the problem between two players. This is a much easier problem than 3 or more player. With 3 or more players, you have to worry about other players colluding with each other to increase their chances unfairly.

Presumably, the winner of the lottery will earn lots of money. As such, someone would be willing to spend lots of money in order to ensure they can win. They could therefore bribe the guards to give up the keys before bets are placed, and t

This is actually a hard problem. In order to be provable, you have to be deterministic (i.e. you can't leave the RNG as a black box). However you can't let any individual (nor any conspiring individuals, think Sybil attacks) predi

Cloudflare is in the business of protecting websites from DDOS attacks (and various other things). They should of course try to estimate the cost of protecting a given client, and forward that cost onto them. However, if that client is will

The misinterpretation comes from conflating difference in population averages with differences in population. He said that on average men and women are different, but not that all women and men are different. The statement "men and wom

That is not the reason he was cited to have been fired. Someone having different interests than you seems like a bad reason to fire them in any case. He certainly made no effort to force you, or anyone at google, to read the document.

You wouldn't want true random numbers anyways. If you're encrypting it, then you'll want to decrypt it later. That means you'll need the random data you used again. If you had a secure channel over which to send or store
