Author here. I do not think at all that individual self-interest is our only motor. I'm saying we underestimate the extent to which it motivates us. I should probably clarify that. My view of China is informed by my months-long stay th

I would say that for most laypersons, VPN is used for two things: accessing your remote work resources and accessing content banned in your country. As was patiently explained to me, Mycoria relies to quite an extent on the network effect:

Blockchain- the tech still waiting for its use case :)

So 2 use-cases within grasp: Firms could replace their VPNs for remote work with mycoria and have better security and control. I could also set this up for my home network and access my (for example) NAS securely. For the use-case "I w

Isn't it a bit different? A VPN is used to create (the illusion of) privacy when accessing anything on the internet. But I can't access anything that's not connected to mycoria with it, can I? If I were to access something li

Great technical achievement. What is, for you, the sweet spot between VPN and TOR? What's the tradeoff there?

Looks interesting. What I understood: it is basically overlaying privacy and net neutrality on the internet. I am therefore restricted to communicating with other users of mycoria and can't access "the whole Internet" via myc

All that has been said under this thread, including the sibling comment to this one, could be true at the same time. I see dissenting stances where the opinions are not.

I did not read it as being upset. Drawing the public's attention to the economics of publishing and showing how to support an author you like is OK, no?

The market isn't that good at detecting and rewarding genius work in the short term. Herman Melville, Edgar Allan Poe as well as Oscar Wilde died poor.

It doesn't work like that. In a single payer system, the government is mandated to provide you with health care, since you are paying for it with your taxes (or would be if your income was high enough), no exceptions. Typical tools of

1/ SWE jobs where you have some agency on what to build and the tooling choice do exist. Try working as an employee for an engineer-driven company. 2/ that can be rewarding. I have found nuggets of genius in other people's co

Your comments read as if we as a community had the duty to engage with your ideas and tools. We don't. It's commendable, but not our duty. It is perfectly okay and ethical for some software engineer to browse your blog post, under

True. And I don't think I ever claimed that never using rebase is a guarantee for anything. I rather wanted to point out the following: Using a commit strategy based on git rebase is neither right nor wrong. It is not even best practic

I don't think you're wrong. I think we have different priorities. And we obviously have different expectations of what should happen if the code of a certain commit is run.

one more tip I want to share: when you have a dramatic hypo or your blood sugar is dramatically high, double-check with the old school prick-test device. Your CGM might exaggerate. That stopped some nefarious cycles of being too high, then
