Ethereum city in the desert

Every resident and employee will have what amounts to an Ethereum address, which they will use to vote on local measures and store their personal data.

Mr. Berns believes Ethereum will give people a way to control their identity and online data without any governments or companies involved.

Except they are all in one place and so the government doesn’t have to go far if they want to enforce some ruling or find the ones not reporting their tax.

Well I don’t think tax evasion is the goal. They’re even set up in a tax opportunity zone so that crypto gains that’s used for local economic development like real estate projects can be had tax free (sounds like from the keynote anyway)

They had a keynote yesterday

Seems like they want to create some kind of tech incubator for AI, nanotechnology, 3d and blockchain technology and how it can work together.

I would think it could also be a place to show off how the SAFE network can be useful for IoT and the other things that they want to use blockchains for.

More violent than Stuxnet? Which is already the most sophisticated software according to this article.

Pretty damn impressive

Edit: I mean whoever thought they were “clever” by spamming the Safe Network in it’s infancy should look at this and wonder what they are doing in life.

I read a book on the stuxnet story. The whole story was fascinating. From how they first found it, tracked down what it did, and how they finally attributed it it’s source. Very impressive piece of software that blew 3-4 0-day exploits and some incrible math/encryption breaking algos just to get it done.

If they understand what’s coming, they’ll admit they’ve already lost and turn themselves in.

Who are the fascists again?

I’d like to quietly point out “fascist” is a rather specific term; you may want to check what it means before throwing it around so carelessly.

I used it precisely in the context in which it has been carelessly thrown around for the last 2.5 years or so by so many others. It’s supposed to reveal the hypocrisy of the name-calling, not confirm or deny a precise definition. You missed the irony and the overall point of the post: tech workers live in an ideological monoculture of false diversity and they’ve colluded with progressive politicians. Ridicule and satire through memetics is, among other things, destroying their paradigm. Moreover, memes specifically bypass A.I. filters, so…all the censorship won’t work. People are waking up.

It seems clear to me that he’s using it in it’s original intent, which would now perhaps be called corportatism. I understood it that way, since that’s what it’s meant most of my life. It is not a word that is really useful anymore, since nobody actually agrees on it’s meaning lately, but that hasn’t stopped certain groups from shouting it constantly, and those groups tend to vote democrat in the USA.

Browser history attacks affect most modern browsers (some have been fixed).

Things like this should be protected against at all costs. Especially when something like identity switching is a click away in the safe browser.
