If you believe that most people don't have a choice but to be busy then you still haven't received the message. You always have to the choice to walk out into the world empty handed and just go hungry. To just surrender to your fate.
I've been doing some pretty heavy caching of my node application with Redis and have just been using JSON.parse and JSON.stringify to cache and retrieve JSON. Is what I'm currently doing bad? what is the main advantage of using this module? Performance?
>We know one thing about the whole network: by default, a social "network" is a monarchy. It has one corporate dictator, its developer. By default, a true network is a republic; its users govern it. And more important: a distributed community cannot coerce its users. Perhaps there are cases where monarchy is more efficient and effective -- but freedom is a product people want.
It's a product people say that they want. Isn't freedom terrifying. The freedom business has never payed as well as the slave business.
That was a fun white paper to read, even if I had to skim over the programmatical parts.
The strangest part of this all is that they don't even know what to do with it. Okay, we have the perfect computing system, now what? Do we simply live here, all nice and connected.
Hi Ryan, What do you envisage happening to the downvote? I was thinking that charging downvoting could be one way that money could go into the system to pay off those who are hosting the system and/or give money to new users after gaining some "proof-of-participation".
Also do you think advertising could work in this model at all? It's a great way to inject a bunch of money into the system without users having to deposit their own.
Hopefully it would just require a bit of mining to pay for whatever service you were looking to use. If we are going to have a more decentralized internet we are going to need a lot of people mining the blockchain.
