When I click on "unreasonable searches and seizures," I get this... excellent... explanation: This part of the Constitution is supposed to guarantee that 5-0 can’t fuck with you (unless they have “probable cause”) But — the Conservatives

I've lived in San Francisco for 20 years. You might be interested in knowing where your General Tso's will end up: When work crews pulled open a broken BART escalator at San Francisco's Civic Center Station last month, they found so much

The gateway between your crappy network and the Internet is on the Internet. A node on your crappy network, however, is on your crappy network. (What's unfortunate is that IPv6 seems destined to become no more than one of these "crappy net

I don't think we're arguing about anything substantive. For the record, I shave my neck every day. I also have no problem with thinking of IP as the new Ethernet. By "layering violation" I really meant "layering" in a systems rather than

I've got it - we'll encode Ethernet frames in JSON and tunnel them over HTTPS to an IP stack in Javascript. With a JS DHCP client, your browser will grab an IP address on the same subnet as the cloud server. And it's business up front, pa

Your home PC isn't really on the Internet. It's on a crappy pseudo-network that happens to be connected to the Internet. This doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to use it as a server - you should. However, to use it as a server, you'll ne

Normal users (ie, users behind NAT) shouldn't be running their own Tent servers, period. People who run their own servers are geeks by definition and can/should host in the cloud. Where "cloud" means "that part of the Internets that actua

This might be (just a little) too pessimistic. The sweet spot both Tent and Diaspora are/were aiming for is one where most users use somebody else's service, but a few crazy neckbeards choose to self-host. The neckbeards who actually care (

I already see spam (with t.co links) on the alpha.app.net page. Surely nuking spam and spammers shouldn't be hard for a paid, centralized service like app.net? Identi.ca also appears to be full of spam. Basically nothing will kill a publi

Best of all, the authors seem to have somehow evaded MIT's IPR office. (Shh!) At least, I get squat for the lead author, Maxwell Krohn: https://www.google.com/search?tbo=p&tbm=pts&hl=en&#3... Not-patenting a (practically, not le

I don't know that the terminology is common (or correct), but I find it pretty useful. It also corresponds intuitively to the way people in practice use these terms. I say keep it. TLDR for OP: in both "DP" and "memoization" you construct

It's not a question of law but simply one of power. The USG is sovereign and not subject to any controlling legal authority. And its power, especially in financial matters, is global. Therefore it can be analyzed as if it were a criminal

Can you make a Tent (or more ambitious social p2p) client which is also an FB client? Of course. FB and Twitter have APIs. Of course, they can revoke your key. But they have web clients, so they can be scraped. Faced with a genuinely dis

1. People learned (grudgingly) to use spam filters with their email because they had an existing service which had achieved large-scale network effect in a spam-free environment. A new service which develops a spam problem before it achiev

(1) Have you thought about spam, then? After all, there's a reason social services are centralized on today's Internets. The reason (IMHO) is that the Internets since 1992 or so have been an antisocial network, and anything worth attacking

A couple of things I don't see on a quick scan of the docs: (1) I don't see how one Tent entity contacts another proactively - it looks like A can't message B unless B has already chosen to follow A. If this is so, is it an anti-spam measu
