Fountain lets me screenwrite like how I code, which is awesome. I use Goyo[1] and capslock.vim[2] to reduce distraction and make the capitalization easier. Git in Dropbox works well when only one person is committing.
My cowriter uses afterwriting[3] (locally[4]) to view them although we still use unformatted .docx for rough drafts, since he normally writes those and I revise.
That is only an issue if we throw out the current system altogether.
What do you think of embedding IPFS links within html? Secure content can be directly loaded from the central server, content that only needs to be checked for integrity or hidden from the local network can be loaded from the distnet.
It'd be like mushing torrents and the web together.
This way connection to origin server is still a SPoF without the ability to access ephemeral content.
I think it would be a better (is it even in the realm of possibility?) alternative to do it the other way around: embed secure content inside Content Addressable Network (CAN).
With Content Address you automagically get verification that at least the bank URI is intact. On top of that, CAN could aid in verifying root CA/server key pairs increasing TLS security. Well, at least for the duration of certificate validity.
CRLs are again another story confirming that CANs, contrary to centralized ones (unless you are getting MITMed), have no way of indicating whether the content in question is current.
On top of that, if majority of Alices direct peers are Malicious Malroys they have pretty good chances of convincing the network that Alice itself is acting maliciously and content updates from her are not to be trusted. Oversaturated example: Presidential elections with 49.9%/50.1% vote distribution.
I think the web (www) won't change much at all, but that doesn't mean the way we interconnect with others won't.
This seems ultimately shortsighted. Human "progress" (increasing interconnection -- such as urbanization and population density) has been growing exponentially[1] since the birth of agriculture allowed humans to form societies.
Relative to this kind of momentum, the web is only a hint of the interconnection and globalization to come. The web may stagnate and become self-serving (as opposed to being useful), but this has no bearing on whether we'll eventually be able to simulate a human brain in its entirety or reach some {uto,dysto}pian future where all of our consciousnesses are somehow woven together.
I'm not saying that technology will be our salvation, but the graphs and trends don't lie. We are at a very interesting time in human history: we are either going to continue interconnecting exponentially or there will be some catastrophic event. There's no room on those curves for a plateau.
Whether humanity passes the torch of technological innovation to AI (voluntarily or coerced) or we suffer a self-wrought apocalypse, I don't know, but there is certainly reason to fear the changes the future will bring.
And then no watter what, if you're broke you will go to all lengths jumping through hoops and calculating tiny scores even if it's a waste of time... Because you're broke :p
Sorry, what's the context? Admin / account and login areas don't care / matter much, because they want it :p they'll wait...
I've experienced slow admin/internal UIs that were so slow and inefficient they brought down the consumer site... and yes, I'm talking algorithmically. Processing data in triple nested loops because it was "quick and easy" and then the data grew beyond a relatively small threshold (something like 10k records was where it started to break).
If there's no manual override, then it would be trivial to stop the car and threaten the passenger. According to the LA Times [0], Google is trying to make their autos fully autonomous, without any user controls. I'm not sure if there's more recent news than this.
If there is a manual override (wheel and pedals), the door is already locked when in motion, so the driver should have enough time to floor the gas and escape.
Unless Google incorporates some seriously advanced detection and response, I see SDCs being an easy target for criminals.
