OK, so nobody said decentralization is easier. There's been plenty of academic papers saying pretty much the same as you do. But we have to, not for technical reasons, but for ethical and social ones. So, we're starting…
Right, but if you had data that were just that confidential to you, that's the easy part. Just encrypt it and don't let anybody look. I don't really have that kind of data, but I do have a lot of stuff that's just…
Oh, but that's more a matter of where you start and what you bootstrap. In both cases, DNS and TLS CA-based stuff is about trust. You need to trust the DNS server, as there could be malicious servers sneaking in, and…
Oh, but Solid isn't just a social network. True, social networks have really powerful network effects, so it is a key to success, but not the only key. We're separating data from apps, which enables permissionless…
Not really, it is pretty much the other way around. :-) We're basically building the simplest thing that could possibly work, they are rebuilding a lot of infrastructure that they have to use, but we can use where it…
Great question, because it is basically the most ignored problem in the Semantic Web community and thus the one that we are spending quite a lot of time on. So, basically, there is one data model, RDF, but RDF does not…
Actually, we've been chatting about this, and I think it would be great to start selling Solid servers on a OLinuXino board with a nice box around. Not because it would make us a lot of money, but to demonstrate that…
Mmmmm, sorry. So, we have an #UXFAIL here. I've relayed it on to the rest of the inrupters. Obviously, we're happy if you have more detailed experiences to share, there's a bunch of frontend stuff to fix (I'm working…
Yup, it is. Though, I'm not sure about homomorphic encryption, but there has been some work on encryption in the academic community that has very clear application to Solid. Here's a paper written by some friends of…
Right, so that's one of the reasons why Solid is built on top of Linked Data and RDF, we need the power of these technologies to support those advanced use cases. The Web Access Control spec is here:…
Well, I guess we just asked the opposite question: Is there any reason to keep this sub-surface any longer, and we didn't find any such reason... :-) So, it is just "release early, release often". So, the code and the…
So, we're kinda dogfooding that, we're not only building decentralized social networks, the business is also decentralized, so we haven't got any big corporate offices. A lot happens out of Boston, but I'm based near…
