> DNS4EU commits “not to block DNS resolution except for when required by law, enforceable decision of the competent court or other government authority or elected by the User.” (Emphasis mine)

So the 'privacy first' resolver doesn't follow only laws, but the whims of any 'government authority'.

Reminded me of Win, Place & Show (1966) from 3M.

If the ID is permanent then governments will require it, because they can. If it has attestations or endorsements, governments will require a government endorsement. Think about what China, Iran or Russia would do with a permanent ID being a standard. The US, England and the EU are not immune to the same impulses.

Always online is no different than an email account or website, and the rate of change would be, at least, minutes not seconds.

> The same key, in every app, for every recipient. Not assignable to anyone else, not revocable, not subject to suspension. Yours forever.

This is impractical and the opposite of what we want. It's a required ID to use the internet, monitored by governments, tracked by corporations, and forever unchanging.

What we need is a system that allows people to easily create new IDs, that updates contacts that people choose. Think of a contact book that sends new keys to all contacts on every change. (Contacts would need to be always online.) It could update the key used on a website or not, depending on the users choice.

Breaking tracking and required IDs means flux and churn.

Yea -- it could use votes to pick a hero article, or change summary length.

> The new plant in Minnesota will be big enough to deliver 300 megawatts of power and store an enormous 30 gigawatt-hours of energy, making it the largest battery by capacity that’s been announced so far. By comparison, that’s more storage than all of the battery projects built in the U.S. in 2024 added together.

Smart. They'll be able to regenerate code in the future, with better LLMs. It also lets them redo the architecture combined with other parts of the system as context grows.

Depressing to see influencers and AI going together so well. Influencers are hardly trustworthy or authentic.

> I suspect this is how we wound up with NFTs, the metaverse, and the clunky VR/AR headsets.

VR/AR is because new tech allows us to do something... that we haven't figured out yet. It's not driven by visions of the future but by hardware advances.

The metaverse was an old idea that Zuckerberg hyped because Facebook became un-cool. It was meant to keep the company relevant and let it change the name away from Facebook.

NFTs was an attempt to copy moneys move to the digital world like bitcoin. Whether idealistic or crass opportunism is debatable, but broken tech ideas are nothing new.

    gova: build failed: exit status 1
    # counter
    ./main.go:20:16: cannot use Counter{} (value of struct type Counter) as gova.View value in return statement: Counter does not implement gova.View (missing method viewNode)
Not encouraging. You can't add 'viewNode' since it's not exported...

I guess they changed the API and didn't update the code or picture.

Should have 5+ puzzles to do on the first day, so people can play enough to remember it. (They can be the same 5 static puzzles.)

Another: https://www.slate.auto/en/personalization A basic truck that you can customize.

> BRING YOUR OWN TECH

> Bring the apps you know and love to create the experience you want. Instead of a bulky, distracting, and quickly outdated infotainment system, a Slate can come with something simpler: a smartly designed mount that fits a phone or tablet and a holder for a portable Bluetooth speaker. Heating and air conditioning are included, no need to bring your own fan.

> Your Slate will age gracefully, because it’ll always have the latest tech—yours.

> the any-type-allowed-anywhere design always seemed a little strange.

Sqlite came from TCL which is all strings. https://www.tcl-lang.org/

An example of where this would be a benefit is if you stored date/times in different formats (changing as an app evolved.)

...so then trace the transfer to each identity? How does knowing the first person in the chain help identify the 2nd and 3rd, etc? What if there are 50 identities and the coin has a dozen origins?
