    IMO, blockchain technology is good for one use case: illegal transactions.

    I think all else can be achieved more efficiently by using a trusted third party write-only database, such as the ones available on AWS, and you’d also have the benefit of being able to go to court to seek relief. Some blockchain markets are basically reinventing banking systems and preexisting financial law - systems that have been built over centuries and have quite a bit of knowledge baked in.

    I do like the shift to proof of stake from proof of work, but this tech is silly to me.













  • Why would it ever be remotely acceptable to look through your kid’s phone? One can hardly think of a more serious violation of privacy. Not just for the kid but for all the people the kid communicates with. It should not be socially acceptable to admit that you’ve done this.

    If they’re causing problems, address them another way. Take the phone away if you need to, but do not turn your house into North Korea.
