As a society, one of the most valuable things that we could get better at is sustaining stable public infrastructure and social support without relying on government programs. It's challenging to imagine the pragmatic details but that does not change the value of doing this.

I'm looking forward to the end of this election cycle and to playing the board game version of election 2020.

Thanks for inviting me to share community project management learnings from CoMakery (and beyond) with your great community OpenTEAM (Open Tech Ecosystem for Ag Management)

Unpopular opinion : modern writing should use a space before punctuation for easier cutting and pasting of things like example.com !

christina bowen 🌎 @gordonbrander Peter van Hardenberg Nice. The older Yarrow Stalk method of I Ching reading has an asymmetric probability distribution and a manual sorting algorithm that is open to sub-conscious effects. It could intentionally reveal unconscious awareness or be an RNG hack that biases decision making at scale ;-)

Ethereum 2.0's most valuable contribution could be to show high energy consumption proof of work blockchains like Bitcoin & its clones the migration path to low energy proof of stake - including how to transition the miners who are incentivized to keep mining proof of work.

Weakly held conjecture: all writing with a defined alphabet is discovery and not invention since all possible combinations are defined. Any new symbol added is invention because it increases the space of possibilities. Theoretical exception for infinite strings.

The return of the "vibe" is a good sign for internet-humanity... maybe it will turn out alright after all.

what does a search engine that is decentralized look like?

po𝚜𝚙i Mitra Ardron Rolf von Behrens 🌿 renewfest It also seems fairly difficult to shard something like the PageRank algorithm because it requires a giant complete index of trusted page scores to determine what is on page 1. Success means a growth hacker resistant sharded secure rep protocol graph or massive local indexes.

On average, conclusions drawn from averaging are misleading.

Some say "the future is already here -- it's just not very evenly distributed". However, if in all present moments iotas of many futures are present then no future will ever be evenly distributed and achieve the status of "the future".

Every aspect of the future is uncertain ... allegedly.

Deep fakes can be identified by wide adoption of: 1. Watermarking technology (public/private key encryption) 2. Recording devices & editing tools that digitally sign their media 3. Hash chains to verify video integrity 4. Trusted publisher registries for watermarks
