Tlon's Urbit is probably the best all-fronts attack on the problem I've seen.

Honorable mentions for tackling part of the problem go to IPFS and Scuttlebutt.

There's a lot of people who understand the larger vision around the decentralization crowd if you can find them in the haystack of hypesters.

There does need to be some sort of sane standard for determining whether something counts as a threat/incitement if they're not going to be permitted.

Say I'm very popular on twitter, and say I don't like somebody for whatever reason. If there's a reasonable expectation that this will result in them being mobbed by my less personable followers, does that count as incitement?

Or at what point does aggressive banter in good faith become an actual threat in [favorite multiplayer video game]?

On the other hand, targeted subsidies can push economies of scale to tipping points of self-sustainability.

If there's lots of low hanging fruit then a broad tax/subsidy makes sense, but if you need high levels of investment into specific things to make a difference, then use the tool for the job.

Which end of the spectrum incentivizing green behavior/tech mainly lies towards is left as an exercise for the reader.

Having played around with building exactly that, the conclusion I came to is that REST is nice for not having the additional setup step of establishing a websocket connection as well as having the considerably better support for simultaneous http requests over rebuilding that part of the networking stack once again and layering it on top of everything else.

For real-time subscriptions though, websockets (pardon my grammar) are wonderful. Hence why all the above will probably be ignored as they become a trend and people at large learn the sensible limits of what to use them for.

Tried this on coinmarketcap.com and it broke horribly.

You've got some bugs to work out but this is a very fun and useful idea.

Now you've got me curious how much people have experimented with making AIs play "incremental" games where there's literally nothing but build order planning.

If you dig into the origins of a buzzword, it's highly likely there's a very valuable concept hiding underneath the accumulated cruft.

Had I known this sooner it would've sped me along considerably towards finding a lot of cool things that give me more motivation to program.

So what's preventing market saturation from everyone lobbying until the ROI drops to something sane?
