With NameDrop, bullish on phone numbers as the GUID for social apps for the next 5 years. The address book based graph is about to improve much faster.

I downgraded to the iPhone 13 mini from the 14 Pro and I miss exactly nothing. Am I the only one?

Could you train a model to ask you questions about what you’ve written? It would guide you in providing context to readers unfamiliar with your subject. Could you train a model to strip context from what you’ve written? Readers that know the subject: “Elide context please.”

If you could have a social feed filtered by sentiment analysis, would you? I mean, we don’t blink at extreme food diets. Would you cut out negativity from your information diet?

Auto-deleting messages and decentralization are an incorrect fit. Don’t enforce memory policy centrally. The edges know their context best.

Another incentive for large players to decentralize something centralized is to commoditize their complements. Google wanted a competitive phone market to lower margins on the devices users search with. Android preempted an Apple monopoly, drove decentralization outside search.

Feels like the motivators that help decentralization emerge from centralized systems are still not understood. Legal viability is clearly one of the motivators. Any others we can identify? https://twitter.com/backus/status/1067126613681336321
