The whole article took about a minute to load because apparently it’s being loaded from some decentralized network called lbry. I would rather be the product and get a great user e…

I see the “ipfs less” terminology as similar to the term “serverless”. Just like how serverless still has servers but the point is that you don’t have to maintain your own server, …

How would you know which stock photo was used for training? Someone may take a whole bunch of images they buy on a dark market, create a huge train model, and dump it on the public…

They will have to sell if the Bitcoin price goes down enough that their measly revenue from their obscure enterprise software can't cover the loss from their Bitcoin investment. He…

If BTC price doesn't recover soon and falls further, Microstrategy is what will kill BTC. I don't know why BTC investors are so crazy about Microstrategy buying BTC (This would hav…

What an idiotic essay. What Osaka did has nothing to do with ambition, she did it because of the changing landscape of the media. Unlike the old days where athletes had to rely on …

It's kinda funny how this whole drama is for copying some "intellectual property" that anyone can easily build. If you don't want your virtual cloud sandbox app to be copied easily…

> However, decentralized immutability means that nothing can be done should an unintended action occur with your account. All that's needed is an elegant identity system that priva…

> This isn’t inherent to PoW consensus. In 2010, Bitcoin was CPU mineable on any ordinary Windows PC. It wasn’t until Bitcoin commanded a significant market value — which wasn’t gu…

"If a greedy attacker is able to assemble more CPU power than all the honest nodes, he would have to choose between using it to defraud people by stealing back his payments, or usi…

Just curious, has Anonymous ever threatened someone before attacking? Maybe I'm wrong, I just haven't seen a top hacker who makes public threats before attacking.

Unlike Proof of Work based blockchains which require seizable factory infrastructure to break even, Proof of Stake doesn't need one. Most Proof of Stake supporters see this as a go…

Maybe I'm missing something, but there is already the term "append only logs" which we use everywhere. How is this different from append only logs? Append only logs rely on cryptog…

I recently tried to sign up for Twitter API and the process is nothing like what it used to be. You have to give them a lot of information to even qualify, such as what you're goin…

Interesting that they don't do "GitHub by Microsoft", or "NPM by Microsoft". Maybe there's some insight in there somewhere...

Netlify CMS stores content on their cloud. This looks like it lets you store on your own git repository directly from the browser, avoiding potential lock-in.

Very cool. Every existing criticism about static site generators seems to be gone with this approach. Many interesting ideas in there, like the service worker instead of cloud, and…

I was looking to find an insightful article about the problems with Fediverse. But I only found an article that rants about the toxic humanity. This article has nothing to do with …

Is this a satire? Why would anyone use this? The reason I think this sounds like satire is because the post presents the "there are NPM modules for doing iseven or isodd, but there…

> Bitcoin needs a huge factory. ETH2 needs a billion dollars. I feel like a billion dollars could probably buy the factory you're talking about. What you don't get is what comes af…

A Bitcoin miner that can 51% attack the network will need a huge factory full of mining rigs. A proof of stake miner who wants to 51% attack doesn't need that.

People are asking you why this counts as "on Bitcoin", and you've been saying throughout this thread it's because it has access to the Bitcoin ledger data. My point is that it pret…

see my comment in sibling thread. with proof of work, it's not just about money. proof of work mining forces miners to invest through future commitment, which means you can't just …

> so it results in rich get richer In PoW, the same 'rich get richer' applies - miners can buy more mining rigs and thus it compounds the same? In theory, if and when proof of mini…

having a lot of money staked doesn't mean it's secure. The security model of Bitcoin comes from proof of work, which most people complain as being waste. But it's not actually wast…
