Thank you, this is a great place to start
you have to trust the database maintainer that they didn’t do anything suspicious, and banks are incredibly suspect institutions.
I see the value in transparency. But, also see that significant challenge of "having a large network of computers maintaining and continually syncing a redundant data set".
Do you have any suggestions on further reading or persons of interest that are actively improving/researching better ways for syncing and maintaining the "database" or framework? Not a company or some crypto firm, but more like a research institution maybe?
Actually, i am putting that second drawer on hold. It seems way too cluttered.
Thanks for introducing me to Bruce Schneier!
it feels way less informative, more clickbaity and buzzfeed like. But, I am not sure if I am biased or not, I just feel more constructive on this site for some reason. and it feels like my mind is confused/calibrating to the concept that online forums can be constructive
Ah, when comparing it to WeChat. That makes sense... I can see that.
To be honest, the whole social-market industry seems like just lumped together manic episodes at this point (past their initial implementation) with no direction or thought leaders. ala reddit, twitter, etc.
to be honest, its kind of a great time for future social app start-up founders to use his expensive experimentation as learning observations.
I don't understand the reason behind this. The consistency is all over the place behind the brand. Is this a lead-in into a larger idea? that will "connect all the dots". Or are these literally off the cuff changes? The creator payout for ads, seems like the only positive update that made sense recently, along with subscriptions, although those didn't really seem to affect the smaller accounts with <100k followers etc.
If this could be changed to add a UI element to identify self-proclaimed pundits I feel it would be better. I think just blocking people is not fair. But, being more aware of whom may help improve critical thinking.
I should probably give a deeper dive into what's actually going on, before I share such things. If the point of the app is too also go against punditry. When I get the time my next post on this community is going to be the technical write-up.
maybe but seeing ~14 years ago (guess thats like 09) in that description is pretty crazy either way
