I was a bit surprised by this, given the relative ease of making it more secure.

I've reached out to confirm with them and "recording URLs are long and difficult to guess, so the contents of the recordings should be reasonably private" really is their position.

I just went to post the same and got redirected here :)

I'm actually relieved, signed up aug 16 2007, it's a shadow of what it was, bye reddit!

Strange take ... I seem to remember websites having a lot of point before google.

> I took the speakers into my local forest, cranked both to 11, slapped on some dark berghain techno

What a horrible thing to do, hopefully there was nobody else in range to have their time in the forest ruined.

Short comment to say I appreciate the thoughtful response here, and that implications of public vs private blockchains in real world contexts is something I've not given enough thought to - thanks for the homework :)

I don't hate blockchain - the technology - it's really interesting.

Something I dislike though is that so many conversations that enquire roughly 'why not use a more traditional technology' end up with rant about not trusting governments - that is 'cringe'.

Good attempt at a deflection, I won't casually solve the very thing that is a great example of blockchain being a solution looking for a problem.

But, given the 'real world' context I tried to stress, do you think blockchain is a good solution to the variations of that problem in real world contexts?

You've set yourself up for a question: Please give an example, with a deeper-lever perspective, of a real-world use-case for (non-crypto) blockchain that isn't better solved with non-blockchain technology.

Edit to answer this question:

> What about this is intrinsically "dangerous nonsense"?

The article isn't about the tech itself, it's about the interfaces of the tech and the real world. The problems there are shameless shilling, deception & efficiency problems.

What air quality sensor are you using?

I really enjoyed the presentation, for the first dozen slides ... but wow did reading one short sentence at a time get tired after that.

[video - poor audio] maybe

edit: That comment was snide, my heart goes out to the OVH team, the message within the video was good, forthright & honest. I hope it will be well received by their customers - just a shame it's a bit difficult to listen to!

I suspect the multitude of little plastic catches, clips, switches, levers etc that everything contains now are the major source of appliances being junked.

That was a hypothetical problem, as per that link

Average speed camera zones are the only speed control device that works (for many via congestion rather than willful compliance I suspect), unfortunately it also encourages tailgating, aggressive and distracted driving (often in reduced width lanes) - I wish there was more of a focus on that.
