I don't know about others, but it's not boring reading for me. I appreciate it when someone points out the downvotes and responds, as OP has done here. We shouldn't treat downvotes the same was we do trolls and ignore them.

It’s a trade off between convenience and security. Consumers _do_ care, just not enough to put unusual amounts of effort in. These moves by Apple make it much easier, and could become things consumers expect from their devices, since they d

I've actually been thinking about doing something similar in India. How has it been going for you?

> What’s wrong with that argument? At an individual, probably nothing. But at a macro level, apathy is equivalent to a lack of legitimacy, which is a big problem. If the cancer of apathy spreads too far, the entire system comes crashing

Currently we trust information by the source it comes from. It’s an authority-based model. Consensus shifts that trust from authority figures to others in your group. Bottom-up trust instead of top-down.

What do Joe and Jane think about the mountain of debt they’ve had to pile up? What do they think about the bankers who decide what happens to their money, and the politicians who decided to bail them out? Do they really have abs much faith

> The very common complaint on Ada user groups and forums is the licensing model. Most companies avoid GPL like the plague. What's wrong with the GPL?

Except investors. This "collaborative platform" angle is clearly designed with the IPO roadshow in mind.

Check out Ethereum's Plasma proposal: plasma.io. It's a similar concept. I'd describe it as tree of blockchains with MapReduce for state transitions and merkle trees for proofs.

133 points in 2 hours and it's not anywhere on the front page. Meanwhile, the current top post has 97 points in 3 hours. What is going on?

You're partially right. But "wasted" compute cycles refers to time that your CPU sits idle. I think the argument here is about energy usage. So sitting idle is not the same as running other people's computations.

Can someone explain why it's so hard to build a missile shield around the US? We've been at it for decades and it's still not reliable. Meanwhile, Israel has the Iron Dome. I know we're a lot bigger, but I feel like this

I did this course a while back just when I was getting started on my self-taught journey. I'd highly recommend this over Harvard's CS50 or MIT's intro course. This has great coverage of how a computer program works, without b

It's kind of cool when board games are abstractions of real world patterns. It's like you learn something about the world, about how it _really_ works, when you play. Monopoly (capitalism) or Diplomacy (international relations) ar

Random thought. Why can't something like Wikipedia be run distributed through a blockchain? Edits are just transactions that are broadcast over the network. I imagine the total cost of that to individual contributors of nodes would be
