Can you provide a source for this?

Do you have any reading recommendations on what additional things someone can do to be better prepared for the next 5/10/20/30 years?

I use ProtonVPN. Same company as ProtonMail. Highly reputable with a business model around doing privacy and encryption well.

Can you provide anything beyond conjecture that there is any merit to what you've stated? My understanding is that the effects of CO2 as a greenhouse gas are pretty well understood…

I agree with this sentiment. I've struggled to see a path towards real change that doesn't involve us all getting out our pitchforks.

We've talked a bit about adding TCP support and really like some of the options it opens up. However, we have to move away from the use of pickle for event serialization before we …

It's a library we use in the "Trinity" client for the ethereum network. The lahja library itself is however just an event bus and has no cryptocurrency ties other than being used i…

it was, and thank you for sharing it.

There are a number of comments here who seem genuinely happy about this. This is a perspective that is hard for me to understand, largely because I'm strongly in the pro-privacy, a…

The fact that this all happened in the first place is really telling. It's nice that they've backed these features off (a bit) but there's a reasonably clear signal to take away fr…

Please provide your recommendations. I've been prying myself off of their services but currently, I've not found a solid replacement for: Facebook: nothing else has the network eff…

I think the answer to that question is extremely contextual and going to be very different for different applications. I also think that I'd like to point out that the idea of incl…

Your parallel is not an accurate one. One of the key and powerful features of the Ethereum Virtual Machine or, EVM, is the ability to delegate execution to external libraries. You …

This is an early release of something intended to be a platform on which independent developers can build applications. Everything on there is meant to be illustrative of what you …

Isn't the history of technology riddled with inventions that "aren't good for anything except ..." which turned out to be good for lots of things. From the top of my head the follo…

Did you ever think to change the type of ads you are showing on your site? I'm saying this under the assumption that you are using an ad platform where you plug their code into you…

> What do you view is the meaningful reason for users to switch to these other platforms with some kind of better underlying data model? I completely agree that people don't curren…

> but what incentive do companies like LinkedIn have for doing this? They don't have any incentive and I suspect they will hold onto that data until it's "pried from their cold dea…

Blockchain based application platforms can allow re-architecting of applications such that the data that backs the application is not "owned" by the company, but instead is either …

Any blockchain client for any chain (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, ...) could very easily implement a storage layer for the underlying blockchain data using a protocol like IPFS. ht…

This. A thousand times this.

An invalid digital signature is a pretty strong indication that it is the fake. I'd consider this poor journalism as it gives this letter credibility that it doesn't deserve. My st…
