When a company routes 95% of the internet traffic in your nation, all of a sudden they have the power to stand against your government. Access to information is powerful, and here’s another reminder of that.

When I mined BTC with video cards years ago, I didn’t have to run the heater in the winter in the room the rig was in - it was a large room too.
Friend of mine have all rooms cold accept one.
No mention of the Safe Network but to be fair he’s talking about currently available options. I think he left out PIVX though. New video in the last 4 hours and BitBoy is a big channel for noobs so might be worth popping in the comments!
I’ve been mentioning MAID in his live chats with 18 to 20k people. 
Doing what I can to spread the word whenever I can.
Dash is traceable and not a privacy coin. They are even pitching it this way now to try to get relisted.
Good job sir! thanks for your work 
With a CLUTCH!!!
Economics impacting energy…
Just imagine where his power and control is today!
“Bill Gates: Philanthropist,” BBC , (2/1/10).
“Why Bill Gates Thinks Ending Polio Is Worth It,” NPR , (5/8/13).
“How Bill Gates aims to Clean Up the Planet,” The Guardian , (2/4/18).
“What Einstein and Bill Gates Teach Us About Time Travel,” NBC News , (5/10/17).
“Bill Gates And Other Billionaires Pledge To Take On Climate Change,” NPR , (11/30/15).
“Bill Gates on ending disease, saving lives: ‘Time is on our side,’” Al-Jazeera , (4/27/19).
“Bill Gates gives $4.6bn to charity in biggest donation since 2000,” The Guardian , (8/15/17).
There are a few problems with that narrative. Firstly, if Gates is so committed to giving his money away, why does he keep getting richer? This is not a trivial question: his net worth has increased from $75 billion in March 2016 to a staggering $106 billion today, according to Forbes Magazine , an over 40 percent increase in three years alone.
Buying power and influence
If Gates represents a net negative force in world politics, why does he receive such good press? One reason may be his sizeable donations to a host of mainstream corporate media outlets. For example, the Gates Foundation underwrites the entire Global Development section of the Guardian , and has given the British newspaper over $9 million. Studying its donation database, it transpires it has also contributed over $3 million to NBC Universal , over $4 million to the influential French newspaper, Le Monde , over $4.5 million to NPR , $1 million to Al-Jazeera , and an astonishing $49 million to the BBC ’s Media Action program, to name only a few. He who pays the piper, it is said, calls the tune. McGoey claims that the motive of billionaires giving to media organizations is primarily “to help legitimate the spurious idea that large corporate actors can rectify the economic harms and economic inequality that their practices have often compounded.”
Gates himself is the head of a gigantic media empire. We already rely on Microsoft for social media (LinkedIn), entertainment (Xbox), hardware and software like the Windows Phone and Windows OS. The company also owns stakes in media giants like Comcast and AT&T. And the “MS” in “ MSNBC ” stands for “Microsoft.”
IPFS and MaidSAFE will
Any ideas on how long platters will keep up in terms of cost/density as compared with solid state? The gap is closing rapidly - it’s quite interesting, especially for us Safe’rs.
Once the gap closes, I don’t know why platters would be of interest anymore … would there be any use for them?
I’ve absolutely no idea to be honest.
SSD are faster, so if the price gap equals i guess you just have reliability/ life expectancy to consider.
Just to add to this, a few years back I helped design the controller for a memristive memory panel. The memory element was a single via of a special alloy that changed its resistance depending on which direction you pushed current through during writes. At the time the technology was in its infancy and the cell couldn’t hold state after solder reflow, so it was abandoned for our products. That said, this technology is progressing rapidly. It will likely replace flash memory in the future. Since the memory element is a via, it isn’t bound by silicon so you could stack these 3 dimensionally. I have no doubt we’ll see exabyte capacity drives in the future once this technology is improved.
Yea memristors were touted as the new kid on the block with amazing properties (almost infinite levels of memory as it was analogue etc.). We have resistors/capacitors/inductors and the missing link, memristors.
Any good recent data/docs on them (HP were gonna make a memristor based computer)
I have no details I can share publicly, other than “we’re working on it” 
I dont have much insight in the R&D status at other semi conductor companies. The industry is extremely secretive as a whole. It is the holy grail of memory technology though. Someone is going to crack it eventually.
I put identical polls out yesterday on my Twitter and Mastodon accounts:
This is consistent with my general impression about these two platforms:
Twitter is mostly web 1.0 consumption, Mastodon is web 2.0 social.
@StephenC you probably know about Semgrep but now’s the time to add it to MaidSafe CI so I can copy your yaml
