I keep thinking in my mind this makes sense but then ponder about the "local" impact - what would a user "donating space" be storing locally and might risk? Where does the risk lay, is it with the uploader, the seeder, or the service provider?
I would love to see this pickup but it feels as though it would devolve into one of the listed projects.
It "sounds" as though it should use some kind of Distributed Ledger Technology, IPFS seem the most fit, maybe some kind of next layer that offers just this service (IPFS being GDPR compliant might mitigate some risk?)
I am totally behind that. The Ethos of the platform and the visibility it has are priming it for acceptance and its own market. When Open Source crystallizes around it, this could be the spark to break the duopoly of the mobile platforms (by framing a hypothetical future alternative), AND provide Desktop OS's an Ethos-First platform for releases, where the developers would want to be on their best behavior from the get-go.
A bit acrid but maybe on point. I feel what bothers me the most is that I related to the post until the very end. What frustrates me is that I, too, operate under a guise of assumptions that might not be mandated: there is room for nefarious actors in the AirBnb system, up to and including hosts who control the wifi you connect to and/or the locks you use. I'm not sure where to take it from here, Awareness is a delicate virtue, too much of it and it turns into paranoia.
Sorry for your experience. Interesting post, chilling thoughts at the end:
>When I sit in front of the computer in San Francisco, the only thing that comes to my mind is to build a Face Recognition system and check the burglar’s face in it. Something similar to Clearview. Machine Learning is my expertise; creating such a system is straightforward but will take some time. Tempting. Thinking about it.
The thought my peers are pushing for extended surveillance/identification tooling is terrifying.
I was thinking something similar - these days really valuable contents seem to resurface from a few years back.
Two days ago I was reading a blog post from 2012 which I though was worthwhile.
Walden's Thoreau states that 'Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations.'
=> I believe that we are lacking the commitment that one had to put into a project such intent as a book then with the current fastfood social medial / article generation.
I also believe that in its place, a hybrid of sorts will come and surface softly back multiple time to underline the impact it left on the collective unconscious. This sounds like what we're seeing.
UK already ordered 30M out of the 50M avail for this year. So no going on winter break to Thailand just yet!
Wondering who will grab the next 20M, and how much this vaccine is being sold per dose.
(edit: PFE is currently trading +13% pre-market on the NYSE)
Can Brave start working on its own search engine already?
B. Eich has been one of the few saviors trying to rescue us from Google - Everyone who understands what is going on is trying to leave, but there are no better options out there yet!
I feel this article is more of a critique of character than it is that of Thoreau's writing.
I stumbled into Walden in my 30s and figured I'd continue my classic exploration. After a month of trying to get through the first few chapters, all I could tell myself was that I hated this book, and couldn't figure out why in hell people were praising it. I wanted to make sense out of it, get a grand picture: I wanted to extract the wisdom Thoreau was surely pouring through the pages!
I was miserable, my experience was horrible. Reading felt forced, the text itself dense and unenjoyable.
After some thought, I resolved to just get through the pages, and not try to make sense out of it, just cruising through.
From then on, the pages and the words took on a different meaning - it wasn't about an idea to be extracted, but about simply enjoying the words on the pages.
The moment I stopped trying to make sense out of the book, I started enjoying the words on their own, and they turned out to be the most beautiful friends through my reading.
"Walden" is my favorite book to this day.
If you try to analyze it, you might get lost in the weeds - I feel this is what happened with the author of that article here - there's a story in it: Don't focus on it, just let your mind wander and enjoy the pure, humble beauty laid bare throughout.
Do you have a source I can look at or do I have to go look at at or can you point to code by chance?
I'm quite surprised I wasn't aware of this if this is actually how it is implemented, the leading zeroes seemed right (and the difficulty by factor of 2 also!)
the topic is interesting but I found the article too lengthy.
I do like the tea with stranger setup and get to know thyself concepts... but I feel the article could have had twice the impact if it had been half the length.
