I got a hoax academic paper about how UK politicians wipe their bums published
Gary Lewis, Royal Holloway I had what seemed like rather a good idea a few weeks back.

Often did not notice the blockchain features
As Kai Stinchcombe puts it in Ten Years In, Nobody Has Come up With a Use for Blockchain, blockchain has no real use except “currency speculation and illegal transactions”. In my earlier posts, I discussed how blockchain removes the middlemen, so let’s focus on two new aspects here: is this necessary? Hacking a blockchain is дальше »

We tried to force our intern to exercise with this app — it half-worked
Goya-Move has a simple purpose: it wants to get kids active by blocking apps until they’ve hit a specific step count. In fact, the app’s tagline – “Get Off Your Apps… and Move!” – definitely got me active, as my mind fell into a perpetual logical cycle. дальше »

Governance, Part 2: Plutocracy Is Still Bad
Coin holder voting, both for governance of technical features, and for more extensive use cases like deciding who runs validator nodes and who receives money from development bounty funds, is unfortunately continuing to be popular, and so it seems worthwhile for me to write another post explaining why I (and Vlad Zamfir and others) do not consider it wise for Ethereum (or really, any base-layer blockchain) to start adopting these kinds of mechanisms in a tightly coupled form in any significant way. дальше »

Notes on Blockchain Governance
In which I argue that “tightly coupled” on-chain voting is overrated, the status quo of “informal governance” as practiced by Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Zcash and similar systems is much less bad than commonly thought, that people who think that the purpose of blockchains is to completely expunge soft mushy human intuitions and feelings in favor of completely algorithmic governance (emphasis on “completely”) are absolutely crazy, and loosely coupled voting as done by Carbonvotes and similar systems is underrated, as well as describe what framework should be used when thinking about blockchain governance in the first place. дальше »

Sony announces limited edition ‘Amazing Red’ PS4 Pro bundle
Sony today announced a custom-edition PlayStation 4 that features a bright red exterior adorned with the logo of everyone’s favorite web-slinger. I’m not a fan of custom-edition consoles.

Apple casually slips membranes into new Macbooks to try and fix keyboard issues
Well, I gotta eat my words. Not did I only rubbish Apple for not fixing its keyboard, one of TNW’s editors disagreed with my take on the update so much, he wrote an article refuting it. Obtained by MacRumours, an internal document that’s been sent to Apple Authorized Service Providers (you know, the folks who fix your Apple products, but don’t wear those silly polo shirts) confirms iFixit’s find of a silicone barrier underneath the keys of the new MacBook Pro. дальше »
