  • It security engineer here: zero knowledge proofs are exactly that. Proof your age isg higher than X, but not even how much higher. They can’t even profile you based on that information as they can’t recognize you across visits.

    Some government identity cards already support that. For everybody else there are companies that offer that service.

    BTW I’m against age verification. We had access to porn at a certain age, I want my children to be able to look when that gets interesting to them. But then again I’m pretty progressive and open with sexuality in general and I take time out of my day to actually talk to my kids about dangers on the internet.




  • The future of Foss is in corporate time donations for projects that are useful for them. Open software collaboration is one hell of an efficiency gain. Whenever me or my colleagues have dead time I ask them to work on improving open source projects. It’s just a few days every few months but it adds up. Also we like to fix bugs in Foss software that affects our customers as we usually fix and upstream them and can bill that to the customer. So the company gets played, the worker gets payed and open source gets funding. No more sole maintainers for life that don’t have money to heat their homes because nobody donates. :)











  • It’s not about you being copied and destroyed. It’s about of continued consciousness. You are continually being killed and replaced by neurons dying off and others replacing the function. The problem is getting the information off the neurons without copy and kill. The key would be continuous transfer of neurons over time to a more longlived replacement. So you is still you and not you thinks it’s still you. Also… It’s up for debate if that matters as you are still a copy if you do nothing. But it solves the continued consciousness problem.
