Fair points. Stargate: wow! With that kind of return on investment on $20 M, psychic readings for $10 a pop sound like a bargain in comparison. At worst, the readers are good at reading some signals hiding in plain…

Tell me more about your claim that an org, person, or brand gets only one chance at trust. What exactly do you mean? What about the passage of time? Memories can be reshaped; public opinion even more so. Is your claim…
Knowledge of this kind of disruption leads to more disruption? Why? What theories support this? Has this been shown empirically?

Sarcasm? Forgive those of us who can't tell.

Merkle trees are an incredible technology too. My point? There are many incredible technologies, but not all are "secret weapons" that justify a seismic industry shift. Not all are suitable or able to upend existing…

Saying everyone is replaceable is a first-degree approximation. The next level of detail would talk about, at least: (a) how much knowledge gets lost; (b) how many person hours -and- "wall clock time" it takes to…
Hello tip, meet iceberg.
One problem with a humorous (yes, I am not all serious all the time) comment like this is while there could be some degree truth to it -- provide a source if so, please -- it smacks of exaggeration.
Privacy is not a one dimensional thing. Just like security, it exists in context, relative to a threat model. Think about the threat model for an "everyday" person. It is different than an American journalist contacting…
"I'll take anal bum cover for $7000." -fake Sean Connery on SNL Jeopardy, selecting from the "An Album Cover" category
I found some studies from OSHA (the United States gov't agency) about very high carbon dioxide levels in certain industry settings, such as where dry ice is used. Effects on cognition are significant at high levels. But…
Let's talk about those four words: 1. Your comment is claiming that my comment is overgeneralized? It is not. 2. I will grant my reply may be uninteresting to you. Unfortunately it did seem to push one of your buttons,…
You are lashing out. I'm sorry you feel hurt or insulted. My first comment did not attack you personally. It criticized your writing and reasoning. Substantively, I disagree with about 80% of your sentences, but I don't…
My comment stated what I thought of your comment. It was blunt and short but not without meaning. The brevity might suggest to you that I didn't think your comment warranted additional time. I engage more substantively…
Overgeneralized, uninteresting, ranty, speculation
