   Hey, I'm Mark Nadal and I was accepted into Mozilla's "Fix the Internet" program - it has been fantastic so far & huge respect to everyone at Mozilla for putting this on. Note: I doubt anyone will see this comment as

   I think that is a good hill to die on, tho I would rather prioritize UX (browser not freezing) and server responsiveness. Ideally we'd have no CPU chunking & good UX, but if we have to choose one, which would you sacrifice?

   Holy Cow! 2.5GB/s that is amazing. Meanwhile I can barely get Chrome/NodeJS to parse 20MB in less than 100ms :(. How useful (or useless) would Simdjson as a Native Addon to V8 be? I assume transferring the object into JS land woul

   I get some hate my Open Source project & actively abuse downvotes/flagging to censor me. But for every 1 hater there are 100s of hackers that have found, starred, used, or told me (in our chat channel) they were thankful they disco

   Not sure why my post was flagged. Just to be clear, Martin (site owner) added GUN to the list, not me. Proof: https://twitter.com/martinkl/status/1244672269395406849

   Hey, my Open Source database is the #1 CRDT rated system on GitHub, and is used in-production by 10M+ people a month, at non-profits like the Internet Archive, and others. https://github.com/topics/crdt Mind adding it

    And how do they expect to legally & constitutionally enforce this? Not that SF isn't already a ghost town tho.

    Does this mean return flights too? Or just travel originating from Europe and going inbound to USA?

    Thanks for the reply. If you ever have time, it'd be great to snag whatever code or data you had, to create a replicable test case for us to make a fix against. Sorry about the wasted time you experienced, I hate that.

    Thanks for the comment. Could you expand further what didn't work? We have some pretty heavy load in-production systems running. Definitely some rough edges still, so I'd like to hear what problems you had, so I can focus on fixin

    IPFS, a YC company, is trying to censor Open Source competitors? Interesting. What are you scared of?

    I think parent was saying the projects using IPFS are relatively unknown, so where are the millions come from? I have the same question. In contrast, GUN, has 20M+ downloads/month from known sources: Internet Archive, HackerNoon, etc.

    Correct, this is what we solved for. I gave a presentation at Berkeley a few years back, right before Bram Cohen (BitTorrent) presented his Chia proof, Proofs of Space and Time (before IPFS ripped the name from Bram). https://www

    This was a phenomenal interview, learned many rich nuggets. I'm curious to go back to the "old days of graphics" with limited RAM, loading from slow CDs, etc. & program like that myself, where can I start?

    We're doing this! Just hit 19M+ monthly users. In production with Internet Archive, HackerNoon, etc. ( https://github.com/amark/gun ) Scaling systems that have to run out of the browser by default is tough, but we

    Hmm, how I handle UNKNOWN in our distributed system (10M+ monthly users running on $0 cost infrastructure, https://github.com/amark/gun ) is to say that originator is responsible for retries until satisfactorily ACKed.
