NDN is the way

p2p no huge IP infrastructure between nodes

interest packets at narrow waist (like human attention, scarce)

sign all packets, more secure, easier to trust|not

hash for pointers, no surprises in containers

crypto apply more cryptography, less web3 baloney

broadcast radio native, no emulation of copper wire

data, closer to where you want, find faster, keep

content you want w/out intermediation, need to find "where" within IP/udp/tcp addresses

https://youtu.be/yLGzGK4c-ws?t=4817 more application, less security hassle

http://youtu.be/uvnP-_R-RYA?t=3018 hash name the data

https://youtu.be/gqGEMQveoqg&t=3006 data integrity w/out need to trust foreign server


Anyone know if they're only talking about search queries, or should stenographers start retooling? http://plover.stenoknight.com developer and stenographer Mirabai Knight in 2012 said real-time transcription was far off:

  Are you worried that it's going to supplant my 
  99.67% accuracy rating in another two years?
  Or ten years? Or 20? And that's just talking about
  the technical accuracy; I haven't even begun to
  get into the semantic accuracy.
The Bloomberg article says speech recognition in the lab already applies semantic context to improve accuracy. The article also says 75% percent accuracy from 2012 is up to 92% today, and that we can expect super-human speech recognition online before 2017.

This looks great!! Thanks. Coub.com has great ui for user selecting precise in/out points. http://www.infinitelooper.com/?v=WThZsGOVkbk&p=n#/458;464 lets you select LOOP in/out right in URL. But neither make GIF, so easy to cut and paste.

Feature request: please enable preview of youtube loop right in your url like gifyoutube.com/y0ut0oo0biD&loop=123.4;5.67 where first number is 'start time' then second number is 'length'. And allow millisecond specification.

File size could be smaller? EG 0.14 second frames instead of 0.08, longer duration frames aren't too noticable and may cut bulky GIF sizes almost in half.


I love the feature request! We'll definitely try to implement this (maybe after captions?)

File size is something we want to do as well. Working with smallest webm available, but still want the gif size to be smaller

Sounds great. Does anyone know if examples of successful applications are published? Thanks


No, but you can get inspiration indirectly.

SUC publishes the names of selected startups: http://www.startupchile.org/110-startups-selected-to-partici...

Upon selection SUC also asks (if you confirm to come) to give a summary description of your startup for publication on their site.

I'm not sure if this is published yet for the latest round.


no they are not.


Simple upvoting/downvoting can't handle the herd voice. Too much text. No time to read it all. Make something actionable to better filter and engage us. Please!

Personally, I want information to inform my actions. I want to make better predictions. Please give me info I can use. Help me sort it. Make me act on it.

I want statements I can agree with, or not. If I'm not sure which, please provide me access to distillable arguments for and against any such statement.

First, I want to very clearly understand what any statement intends to say. Please provide ample means for clarification of such a statement. What is said? What does it mean?

Next, I want to sort and compare reasons to agree or disagree with any such statement. I want to see who agrees or disagrees with such a statement. This is much more valuable to me than the herd voice.

Make it systemic: let broad statements rest on supporting statements, where each statement provides for debate to define whether it is True or Not, Unlikely or Likely.

Something like this might suck less than the bloviating blog/comment/infoglut of yesteryear, especially as the next billion users go mobile.
