Truly a new era so long as we remember property applies to rivalrous resources. Unfortunately, it seems the temptation to apply it to non- and anti-rivalrous resources is too great for many. This is a category error that damages system health.

Here's my conversation with @quintus. TEEs are going to change block building, model training and inference, even make scifi autonomous agents a reality. We talk about the history, the architecture, and the roadmap for building TEEs with open-source hardware and supply chains. Podcast here: intothebytecode.com/45-quintus-kilbourn

Drivers and warehouse operators know what this feels like already (per your FedEx example). If they don’t follow the route the computer determines they have to file exception reports. So much for ‘life on the open road’.

Now when someone asks me what I think of the Network States thesis, I can just point them here. So that's nice :-) https://www.combinationsmag.com/build-network-societies-not-network-states

More precisely if I may ... it resonated with 23.49% of the public.

I've always had a question about these different salts, and you seem like the person to ask! I take it these salts have more 'in them' than NaCl otherwise they'd all just be the same regardless of origin or synthesis. Are these other ingredients part of your research?

Germany reduced its nuclear power capacity for a number of reasons, particularly concern post-Fukushima. While the country has a long-history of anti-nuclear sentiment, the decision to phase our nuclear was supported by a significant majority of the German public and political parties as part of a concerted shift to renewable energy sources. But I appreciate that narrative doesn't feature "degrowthers" or "hysterical greens".

You mentioned identity in your earlier comment, and it remains web3's Achilles' heel. We mustn't conflate information security with privacy, and we cannot substitute bureaucratic identity for human identity and expect different outcomes. So designing for human identity should be top of your list imho.

Privacy is explicit (as you note here) AND implicit. In fact most of the time we secure and propagate the contextual social norms we refer to as privacy without thinking about them. It is then more of a contextual systemic quality than anything individualistic. You have reminded me though of the following, which I think is by Edward Snowden. As I recall from memory ... Saying you don't care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different from saying you don't care about freedom of speech because you have nothing to say.

I find that understanding of marketing can vary way beyond what it actually is. "Broadly defined, marketing is a social and managerial process by which individuals and groups obtain what they need and want through creating and exchanging products and value with others. In a narrower business context, marketing involves building profitable, value-laden exchange relationships with customers. Hence, we define marketing as the process by which companies create value for customers and build strong customer relationships in order to capture value from customers in return."

While I couldn't help but riff off "smart" here for comedic effect (no seriously, some of my jokes do actually work), it's critical to recognise that most people don't spend their lives thinking about the privacy ramifications of various technical protocols and architectures. It's on those of us who do.

When @df writes "a single smart wallet controlled by the canonical wallet for the chain will be used across all apps on the chain", one wonders if the wallet would be smarter than the corresponding person. The Cypherpunk’s Manifesto asserts: “Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world.” It’s very hard to do that when you present one (or one dominant) wallet / identifier to the world.

Most people are not early-stage investors. We're now intent on raising pre-seed from actual early-stage investors. Their investment will provide validation and of course the working capital to ensure the product comes to market and becomes an everyday app everybody loves. 😍 NFTs-with-benefits may then make a whole heap more sense. Watch this space! And of course if you know pre-seed investors who will love everything on addresso.com and who will want to learn more, please don’t hesitate to make introductions. Thanks again.

It’s been a few weeks since our last update, so let me fix that. You’ll recall we were exploring the sale of NFTs-with-benefits as a fundraising mechanism. The Addresso product and vision and the prospective NFT sale brought you here and others to our Telegram channel … and thank you for that 🙏 … but we now believe the fundraising idea has legs only further down the track. Quite rightly, anyone looking to put down an ETH or three will want reasonable confidence that the future product + service will be worth multiples of that over time, and perhaps more to the point confidence that the product will actually be launched and nurtured in the years to come. And as everyone can do math, one would ask oneself — how likely is that on a couple of hundred grand ($US)?
