They did for quite a while. It was only relatively recently that Tim Cook reversed the policy and allowed crypto wallets to appear on iOS.

It's an anti-lawsuit feature. The bug here is in the government allowing people to sue drawer makers for overloading them and tipping them over.

The point is that this behavior is confusing, not that the behavior isn't written down somewhere in some documentation.

Wow. What I always liked about MacOS was that there weren't too many menubar icons to begin with. Back in the days of Windows 98, it became typical for every application you installed to make a little icon in the "System Tray&q

Wonderful to hear! Thank you for responding to my fear with the light of information. You're converting me into a fan.

Are you implying that it must be "strictly" physical in order to be called cash? Dollars aren't strictly physical. They also exist digitally. And they are cash.

Also, why not apply this to an existing coin, like Bitcoin, rather than inventing yet another freaking asset? Oh yeah, because then the founders can't get rich in the ICO. Yuck.

I really wish people would just invent a new word, rather than breaking our ability to distinguish singular vs plural.

Same for me. I find that Google has gotten worse for me over the last two years, and switched to duck-duck-go. It feels like Google is trying to control me and my searches more than it used to. I like my search engine being a tool, not m

Your concern is that adding CRDT merge semantics somehow prevents a server from implementing access control? That's not the case. The Braid spec does not impede access control — that works just like it always has on the web. A client

by toomim 7y ago
Almost -- you can actually have different algorithms that still merge the same way . See our interoperability demo here: https://braid.news/demo/interoperate This demo shows a CRDT and OT system interoperating. Th

Will do! Thank you very much!

Oh, thank you for sharing! I would love to see an example of where you are dealing with model and state transfers, so that we can make sure that the protocol we are building supports it. Is there anything more you can say about this?
648.
by toomim 7y ago
Braid itself is just a neutral protocol— the proof you want applies to the particular CRDT or OT algorithm that you use with it. For instance, you can use it with ShareDB, or Automerge. Both of these synchronizers are quite robust, and pro

The trick is that they only need to agree on how multiple simultaneous edits merge. Each URL specifies a Merge-Type. If the algorithms implement it, they can merge conistently.
652.
by toomim 7y ago
Yes, the server and client implement the logic. Each URL specifies its "Merge-Type" in a header, which defines the spec for the OT or CRDT that they implement.

This is very interesting! Thank you for posting it. You have clearly thought the problem through, and we'd love to get you more involved in the consensus process.

These are databases that support synchronization. They have to design their own custom protocol, because HTTP (without Braid) does not support synchronization. We want to add Braid support to PouchDB and Gunjs. Then they can interoperate,

Yes. One way to look at this is that HTTP is already very close to a CRDT or OT protocol -- it just needs a few new features. By adding those features into HTTP, we generalize HTTP and REST from being able to simply transfer state to bei

by toomim 7y ago
Yes, the braid protocol could let you run a distributed system over HTTP. It lets you put a CRDT or OT behind any HTTP resource, which lets you distribute the resource, with multiple writers, and guarantee consistency after arbitrary edits
