   Maybe what we could do in a much more short term is another "Mother of all Demos" [1], focused on more than just the future of computing technology? Have calls to action/RFPs, and have a conference of some sort - the goal is

   Could you elaborate on what “ A bit like trying to sell tie-dyed shirts out of a VW bus at a Barbara Streisand concert.” means here? I’m not sure what the colloquial terms actually mean :) is it that Streisand concerts were fashionable and

   Personal anecdote. I ran into Bill Gates and his dad at the Taj Mahal once when I was there visiting with family. I remember being struck with how tall he was, and their stark height difference! I was 22 at the time and being a huge fan, I

   The fundamental assumption here seems to be that we'll have no innovation in the technology (say, qubits) used to manage and create this information. I think that's flawed from the get-go.

    Thanks, but I was referring to space comms ctfs specifically :) it’s one thing to find a buffer overflow exploit on http but I don’t even know what the carrier protocol for a ku band transponder is called..

    Is there a pointer on where to read more about challenges like this - technical information on how space com systems work, and what some example CTFs are?

    Isn’t hacker news social media? Karma points are no different from retweets or likes surely? And then isn’t reading nyt’s comment section social “media” too? At what point is engaging with media that has some collaboration from peers diff

    Can someone comment on how to get better colors on eshell? The only thing that stops me from using it is that xterm-256color and ansi-color and all the articles on the web talking about colors ultimately say this - the terminal emulator tha

    One of the biggest challenges with IPFS in my mind is the lack of a story around how to delete content. There may be a variety of reasons to delete things, - Old packages that you simply don't want to version (think npm or pip) - Conte

    Couple of questions, - Are there any plugins to transform the saved output into HTML or other content (markdown)? Or does the user have to implement these? - Whats the difference between this and the CodeX editor referenced in many places?
