Oh, and also, I should say anyone interested can join that "chat" (not that there will be anyone, mind you)... And it's especially slow today - not seen it like this before. Barely…

We can "chat" in this ibGib: https://www.ibgib.com/as-chat/pic%5E6F40CA17107671491E64DB0B... I've started to respond a little bit to your conclusion of seeing different front pages…

Thanks for the extensive response. There are a couple points I'll break it down (I'm also loquacious on occasion): > One of the central aspects of HN is that humans control it, and…

You and the other commenter both quoted the same aspect about agreement of the community, so see my other response. > Decentralization in this context would mean different rules fo…

Yes, I instinctively agree with you. But what about sink investments? Also, what about borderline protocol implementation improvements? Death of a thousand papercuts...that kind of…

Do you believe that a completely in-the-open forum would be manageable? By this, I mean things like: - Everyone gets to see... - who does the up/down votes. - what any moderators' …

> protocol designers to fine-tune incentives and punishments This is an interesting phrasing of one of the questions I have about the "decentralized" aspect of cryptocurrencies. I …

"Reworking" identity from the ground up as OP suggests is actually one of the goals that I've been working on with ibGib. No one really cares, but I'm going to describe some of the…

Yes, this. Although, for a Vimperator replacement because of the breaking FF/Vimperator upgrades, I've found VimFX to be pretty awesome. I had to write some configuration scripts t…

Are there any other major sites that are down?

> Relying on a second account that also has 2FA enabled does not make it twice as secure. This is an absurd statement that I didn't imply, but perhaps you inferred? > The third fac…

> So instead of hacking 1 email/account they would just hack 2 or 3? I don't think that is adding any real security as those accounts would still just be protected by regular passw…

I'm looking forward to more genuine MFA. For my site, I'm experimenting with the ability to identify yourself with as many email address identities as you want (in the future the p…

These are my thoughts as well. In particular: > _It also makes it orders of magnitudes easier for anyone to find out about a coorportions illegal actions / skirting of laws._ I wou…

:-)

> What is ibGib? This is a broad question, as ibGib is many things. To be precise, it is its own question and answer, so the answer to this would be "ibGib". This would encompass y…

I must say that this is one of my primary use cases for ibGib. The point is to have a review system (and advertising) that is not superficial but rather the "review" lasts the life…

> Why didn’t I call myself? Mostly, because I hate making unsolicited calls of any kind, a phobia that I admit isn’t entirely rational and that often causes inconvenience. Interest…

Yes, they both seem to be focused on the differentiable inter-agent communication aspect. I wonder if this is related to the recent articles on how honey bees communicate to each o…

That readme is quite appropriate. That is just fun to watch.

That sounds pretty freaking good to me...reminds me of the rtNEAT evolutionary algorithm, which combines genetic algorithms real time to evolve anns. This type of approach is what …

This is what PRs are good for. Also, with my particular approach to commits, I always have at least one issue associated to a commit, and I'm always working on a particular branch …

> After all what counts is your full chunk of work, reviewed via pull request, and merged to master. It should be treated as a whole. I find the PR mechanism works great for the vi…
