git-ssb was one of the inspirations for Radicle, we're big fans of the project and we've spoken to cel, the author of that project a few times. one of the most meaningful distinctions is visibility in the network, git-ssb repos are distributed through the Scuttlebutt social graph, while Radicle projects are seesed to the whole network. We've written a little on this in the FAQ, 4th question: http://radicle.xyz/docs/#faq

I quite enjoyed the parallel made between physics and economics and the subsequent case against such a comparison. There is a strong argument against a traditional notion of efficient markets here.

What do you think are some of the important milestones in between? We've gotten similar criticism before but it would be helpful to fill in those gaps. The piece was edited for length, hence the 'brief,' and we knew there would be quite a bit missing.

Hi HN,
Editor-in-chief of avant.org here (& editor of said piece). Very surprised/pleased to see this link pop up while browsing the front page.
The author had a good deal of additional material that we cut down to form this brief survey, and I'm sure all of you have some great resources as well. If so, post them here. I'd love to share with our readers!
We are a (soon to be) non-profit that publishes critical, cross-disciplinary essays, frequently about science and technology. If that's your thing, consider finding us on twitter: @avantdotorg
Also, a few other pieces that have cropped up on HN before if you're so inclined:
• http://avant.org/media/stealth-infrastructure
• http://avant.org/media/75k-futures
Looking forward to your comments! Always a thrill to have one of our pieces circulate here.
