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 at this point.

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 can do that, otherwise we would have some security iss

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 in the Trinity codebase. https://t

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, anti-tracking ideology. So if you are part of the group

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 from this. When company and customer interest

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 effect. Google Drive: online documents are really co

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 including the library code within the contract is untennab

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 can think of this much the same way you think of installin

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 can do. Currently it only operates on the test network so

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 following examples come to mind. 1. Early cri

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 your site and then they show your user's ads. Have y

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 public or user owned. Currently, if you want to us

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. https://ipfs.io/ In this model, individuals w

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 statement was merely to try and point out that one

This author did not do their research. They are likely quoting from a fake letter that is not from the actual attacker. I did not personally attempt to verify the signature, but others did and they report it being invalid. The letter in q

The FBI seems to have lost it's way (Same with most of the other 3-letter governmental entities and other law enforcement). How do we change the system so that they are held accountable for these sort of things? This is getting ridicu

At present, as far as I know all of the scalability plans for Ethereum are theoretical. That said the plan thus far is: Light Client Support allows for running a node that does not sync the full chain, but rather downloads and verifies onl

As a developer in the Ethereum space this idea has actually been something I've thought about a lot. It's on a list of things that I'm looking out for because they will inevitably happen. 1. Like you said, a bug will cause t
