DRM restrictions like this are always a joke - HDCP was a great one. Also, I doubt many people are going to be getting their Netflix captures/dumps from an Android device anyway so its a useless restriction, they'll be doing it on a PC where this cannot be enforced.

There are also things such as Google Pay/Banking Apps that don't like it if you are using a custom ROM (although this is root based) it can be bypassed easily using Magisk.

There will always be away round frivolous DRM attempts, even Denuvo and it really just hurts consumer choice and device freedom.
If many people desire only the empty bun (gag me) then it's not so insane to show a price for that.

I was on a Ryanair flight last month from Malaga to Berlin; less than half (a lot less) had overhead luggage.
And if you take a minute to look at them you notice that the majority has nothing to do with telemetry at all.

I'm not sure about you, but there were no cellphones in my school days, so we got our distractions by chatting or doodling or doing virtually anything else except focusing on class. Kids don't concentrate during lessons, they never have.

Well, maybe today things are different when kids are all drugged up with Adderal and Ritalin, and any minor disturbance causes a SWAT team to show up.
But please don't manufacturer this situation :)
Maybe, but you cannot say that the market is "extremely competitive" and "others are not willing to compete" at the same time.
Are you familiar with Ryanair? Lots of people take it for overnight / weekend trips (or even same day). It's kinda their thing.

Not all of them are related to telemetry, though.

Right but the semantic web idea is that the business owner puts the hours on their site and that lets everyone who wants to know the hours. No central site (OSM, google, yelp) required.

I mean the person looking for the hours would probably go to one of those sites, but the hours wouldn’t be stored there.
I was joking, but they might be in fact highly sedated.
I'll bite. What other alternative(s) would you propose? We frequently see cheap shots at capitalism, where on the same issues the major alternatives attempted in the 20th century were all actually far, far worse. It would be nice to seem some positive contributions on this issue for a change.

> The only reason people store so much hand luggage is that the airlines charge for checked baggage.

I don't think this is true. Frequent flyers always tell me the purpose of a large carry-on is so you don't waste time at the baggage reclaim at the destination. This makes sense to me because that can often be 30+ minutes.

> This was the missing building block that was necessary to build a decentral cryptocurrency.

Indeed. But if that's not what you want then you can drop that bit and use the rest.

If your point is that nothing stopped people doing this a generation ago, if they'd thought about it, then I agree completely.

But the key bit is they didn't think about it (or think it was sufficiently important). What Bitcoin did was publicize the techniques and, crucially, show that the interesting bits work well.

Of course, if you choose to use a definition of blockchain that involves trustlessness then the usage I described isn't blockchain, by definition. By I tend to use Satoshi's definition, more or less, which is orthogonal to the idea of trust.

How to implement responsive polling in Java
As an example, food safety in the developing world. Food firms claim food is fresh and came from places where it did not come from. If you introduce an agricultural and food tagging system that logs food item IDs into a blockchain-based system, you can know when and where food was made and grown.

Note that this ignores the huge expense of measuring and storing all of this data, but I've seen some interest in these use cases in Asia, especially for staple crops like rice.

Let's say the OP is correct. It doesn't matter — Whomever is using the word is using it how they want to and the recipient will understand the correct and incorrect meaning. If I was the CTO at a bank and I told the OP we were building a private blockchain for asset management, he would know what I mean. Now since the op is technical, he would probably ask more questions to figure out that what I really want is an openly audit-able immutable database, but his intellect would allow him to drill down further.

This fallacy the same thing that happened for the word "Disrupt"/"Disruption"/"Disruptive Technology". Even Clay Christensen, the creator of the phrase, says most people misuse the phrase "disruption" when compared to his explanation in the Innovators Dilemma[1]. There are Tons[2] of[3] people[3] complaining that the term is misused. In the end, if you casually tell someone you've got an idea for a Taco Food truck that's going to disrupt the food truck industry, people will know what you mean.

The definition of this word "blockchain" is being misused so much that it is changing faster real eduction can help. I think posts like this are great if you're technical, but as I said above — It doesn't matter what the fallacy is.

I expect wikipedia to survive just fine. Wikipedia is explicitly made for that.

That said, google does recognize that a healthy web (and therefore google) benefits a lot from wikipedia and other wikimedia projects. They often donate to the wikimedia foundation, and sometimes do collaborations as well.

> These secure boot systems exist because of DRM protection to media that is mandated by the content companies

That might be an effect but I doubt it's the cause. Signed bootloader's have been around longer than Android and longer than the Netflix app. They were originally introduced to do things like -- protect the device subsidy lock, prevent customers from flashing their phone with invalid or buggy firmware, prevent modification of radio functions (maybe required for FCC license?).

Nowadays they're useful for more than just DRM too. I'd guess that since the owner unlocks the phone functionality, they are a big disincentive to thefts.
> distributed ledgers are not blockchains.

Author here. Thanks for your criticism.

I think you are making my point too. And you do touch on the reason why I focused so heavily on the "terminology part".

What irritates me, is that anything "crypto" is suddenly called "blockchain". Signing transactions and including a pointer to a predecessor is not a blockchain, it's a DAG and we use it daily (git).

"Distributing your data" maybe even using merkle trees, is not a blockchain. Its "distribution". An interesting and broad subject in itself. Distributing a ledger is hardly new, though still a field very much in motion.

All the things you describe are really very interesting fields often tremendously complex.

They all usepieces of tech found in a blockchain too. But then again: the whole basis of bitcoin is really just a combination of existing tech put together in a novel architecture.

Many of the things you describe (like distributed ledgers) require quite novel concepts and most of all leaning heavily on cryptography. But none are "blockchain".
The fact that almost everyone uses the same style and standards through the go tools has made learning easy. I can dip into the most advanced package and make sense of what's going on quickly.
I actually did a bit of research on this before.

For easier chips like TPMs(Trusted Platform Module). What I've seen people do when trying to steal secrets(key) on a chip is to buy multiples of the same chip. On each chip expose the layer under a microscope(A chip exist of multiple layers, thats why we need multiple chips). Now, you know everything to reverse engineer the secrets. There exists tools for drilling and probing each trace on the chip. Here is an example.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-hohCfo4LA

I think what you mean by charging a huge capacitor and blowing up the secrets. You refer to an HSM(Hardware Security Module). They typically have sensors to detect any fraudulent behavior. They are much harder hack. But there is always holes in each HSM. I think hackers use the same technic there as well. Buy multiple HSM to figure out the design. Reverse engineer the traces and try to probe without being detected on the target device. To my knowledge there are currently no sensors that are 100% bullet proof. They can either be fooled or have weak spots.

The only reason people store so much hand luggage is that the airlines charge for checked baggage

I try to fly with only hand luggage even when checking in luggage is free since it makes the the check in process slightly faster, saves me having to spend half an hour waiting for my luggage at the other end, means I have my luggage if my connecting flight gets re-routed or cancelled and makes it much more unlikely that my luggage gets lost along the way.
A lot of Ryanair’s business is weekend trips and lower budget business travel. These aren’t long-haul flights.
No.

A lot of everhead luggage space issues are caused by the ubiquitous roll-aboards that so many business travelers in particular use. And business travelers typically don’t pay for checked luggage either because it’s free because of their airline status or because they expense it. They just don’t want to wait for luggage or deal with the hassle of delayed luggage.

I almost never check luggage. (I also use soft bags without wheels for carryon.) But I get 2 checked bags for free on my primary airline.
Nice to see you include / mention docs and community. I believe a code-based product has a UX. That UX is the code (with comments), documentation and community. That UX is your (i.e., a dev / engineer) end to end experience with "the product." It's not simply the code.

Put another way, there's more to a product that's easy and sensible to work with than code quality.
It is not, the compiler has been pure Go since, I think, v1.4.
Personally I think wage stagnation has largely been due to huge reserves of labour in the developing world coming into the market. The worst thing you can say about capitalism in that regard is that it's Capitalism that has enabled those people to raise themselves out of poverty and contribute and participate in the global economy. How terrible!

However those reserves of labour are largely getting tapped out. Wages for factory workers in China have been rising dramatically for a while now. There are other challenges coming , such as increased automation, but again that's not really directly the fault of capitalism. Meanwhile while wage growth has slowed, we've all benefited hugely from the cheap goods and services enabled by these changes. I really think it's much more about technological and demographic changes rather than capitalism per se. If anything, we've suffered from too much economic development, technological advances and global growth.

The content - right now - is structured and evergreen. If you suddenly attract a few thousand users, do you think you can maintain that? Do you expect to be able to curate all the posts? There doesn't seem to be any requirement for me to make a list be an actual list. I can make a single-bullet list and move on, so what prevents this from being just another link-sharing service like Tumblr?

These are all questions I'd be asking myself if this was my project. I like the concept and the layout is strong.
There are a lot of issues with your thinking. I will just start with a few ones.

One is that in a trustless blockchain like Bitcoin your source of truth is the blockchain, no external force (based on some security assumptions) can change that. In a private blockchain the source of truth is the law, if the organizations signed their transactions, published it in a typical SQL database but they were not recognized by the other parties you can sue other parties legally. This is not possible with public blockchains.

Another is the number of security point of failures you have. If you use your blockchain for supply chain but the input to the supply chain depends on devices, since all these devices can be hacked or impersonated you cannot trust them.

No, this is an organizational problem where different organizations cannot agree on different protocols. It is difficult to agree on a common API, workflow, etc if you have 100 organizations.

It's only a little more than that:

Git (or a DAG) + priv/pub keys + Proof of Work = blockchain

If you remove "PoW" it is just "signing in git". Which is an interesing and complex thing.

And it being private removes all the need for PoW or removes the function that PoW fulfills. So a "private blockchain with PoW" is really stupid and (even more so) a waste of energy.

Whereas a "private blockchain without PoW" is "just git".

A couple of ideas:

- Expose yourself to people whom you consider smarter, more talented, or more accomplished than yourself. Ideally in person; you might also read biographies of people who accomplished amazing things.

- Take up a new hobby as a beginner. At various times as an adult I've tried out karate, piano, improv comedy; all of these have been a good antidote to my own natural arrogance.

I have no idea. :-)

I didn't stalk people about it or anything. I myself actually paid for a bag in order to be able to carry-on my guitar, only to be told at the gate that I needed to gate check it (but with assurances that they'd be very careful, etc - although it's a carbon fiber guitar in a hard case, so I wasn't too worried).

So I got on the plane without a carry-on. Then I noticed... that most other people did too.

The luggage carousel in Berlin was pretty packed, but it's hard to really say how many people did or didn't check. I imagine Ryanair keeps tabs on these things fairly tightly, as its a crucial part of their model.
No numbers. So they are trying to fool someone.

Who is disagreeing with facts. It's the interpretation that people disagree with.

So you are for biased chinese employees altering google search results then?
I assume those people either fly to and back in the same day, have an already established "base" with clothes & cosmetics on the other end, or just buy everything at their destination. Personally, even for business trips longer than 2-3 days I end up having to use checked luggage.
It doesn't mean that everyone that visits Wikipedia is going to donate.

It means that they save a TON of bandwidth from people that would access Wikipedia for a specific information and bounce, it doesn't alienate the important part of Wikipedia's maintenance: editors and collaborators.

So all-in-all the lost revenue from donations is more than covered by the savings in bandwidth.

If it's private, it isn't auditable. You can keep a journal of all transactions, and when you decide that history needs to be changed, you make the change in your journal and roll it forward from there. If the auditors have half a clue, you can't do this for events that happened before the most recent previous audit, but if they have a whole clue, they won't accept the current state of your system as anything more accurate than your attestation.

The counterargument to "words mean what people agree they mean" is that "to computers, instructions mean what they have already been defined to mean". If you change Python's meanings, you need to tell everybody that you're using Python 3.5-Joe, not Python 3.5.
An even more egregious example would be the East span of the Bay Bridge, which was known to be structurally unsafe since the 1950s, collapsed in 1989, and wasn't actually replaced until 2013. So 24 years and $6.5 billion to build (really fix) a 2 mile bridge. The entire original bridge (both spans, plus the Yerba Buena tunnel) cost less than $1.4 billion in 2013 dollars, and was built in around 3.5 years.
Sounds like a scam.

Alane is not a friendly chemical, it's pyrophoric and incompatible with water. It can be produced by hydrogenation of aluminum at 10GPa and 600C, rather hellish conditions, or by electrolysis of sodium-aluminum-hydride using a mercury cathode, two more easily handled chemicals.

OpenAI gets very low level access to the DOTA source code and bot API, there is nothing hidden there but it facilitates integration.

Tencent just owns a majority stake in Riot they didnt develop LoL and have very little to do with the actual game more likely they went with SC2 because it’s easier to integrate with as it has a bot API and it looks less like they are copying OpenAI and making another MOBA AI.

SC2 and DOTA/LoL are also fundamentally different games with SC2 not being cooperative and presenting a different set of problems and solutions than MOBAs.

> Another is the number of security point of failures you have. If you use your blockchain for supply chain but the input to the supply chain depends on devices, since all these devices can be hacked or impersonated you cannot trust them.

I don't know any private blockchains that have apps running on smartphones that connect directly to them. Companies have IT systems (what your app talks to) running in private clouds protected by cameras, people with guns and layers of firewalls. And those systems interface with a private blockchain. Authenticating over a number of factors (eg. 2FA) is obviously done, but that's unrelated from the blockchain.

> In a private blockchain the source of truth is the law

Definitely not true (in any jurisdiction I have worked in, mostly EU), and if it was lawsuits are very expensive and drag out over long periods of time.

> No, this is an organizational problem where different organizations cannot agree on different protocols. It is difficult to agree on a common API, workflow, etc if you have 100 organizations.

You're right that it's hard, but that's definitely not the problem in any of the projects I have worked in. The problem is trust.
