https://deepseek.net/ was exactly the same last year.

My guess is: Pick a popular keyword from Google trends of which the Chinese company only released Chinese content and take the domain and put up English content.

I'm gonna ask something stupid, maybe: what is keeping you from having a minisplit in each room ? You don't have to run them the whole day. Just where you are going to be for a couple of hours.

My guess is: the cost of the minisplits, pretty certain if you had them and turned them all on, you could still draw that much power from the grid.

And probably you are underestimating the cost of nuclear anyway.

Some others: SPARC and SuperH.

Might be a good idea to spend a couple of million by setting up a small office of 10 people to work on it in the coming years.

https://matrix.org/ is partly funded by French government.

Network effect is also hugely important.

Takeaway (thuisbezorgd) and Zalando are some pretty large players in the EU markets. Spotify of course.

I think they are doing really well (by their own standards), the job is to destroy the government. They want to get rid of taxes and rules and regulations that prevent them from keeping their money and doing whatever they want.

I don't see that as a business problem directly.

But I see it as the XKCD 2347 problem.

As mentioned above, clearly the market doesn't reward good engineering.

Nobody cares about pirating, it's when the masses are able to do the pirating easily and get the content easily that is when things break down.

That is what DRM is about preventing.

If some knowledgeable people can copy it and put it low-fi on some competitor of Youtube and Google doesn't show in in search results. That isn't that bad. That means the general public won't easily find it.

Please read and play with the graphics on this page, it explains it all:

This works today: https://webtorrent.io/

It used WebRTC which is also encrypted. So gets you some privacy.

I think Tor will get faster, now new protocols like TLS/1.3, HTTP/2 and QUIC are being developed.

Currently Tor looks like HTTPS done with TLS/1.2 on TCP (like regular HTTPS). As these newer protocols get more and more delpoyed Tor can start using them too which will help make Tor faster.

With eventually a plan to allow for HTTP-caching, use of CDNs, pushing updates over HTTP/2 push, running it over QUIC, etc.

Well, Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange does something similar.

Create a key out of nowhere for 2 parties to boot strap communicate safely. (obviously Diffie-Hellman doesn't solve all problems like knowing who you are actually talking to)

Also notice how the plan is to push not only DNS entries but also TLS certificates:

"Right now, people are really keen to get HTTP/2 “out the door,” so a few more advanced (and experimental) features have been left out, such as pushing TLS certificates and DNS entries to the client — both to improve performance. HTTP/3 might include these, if experiments go well."

Some of those things could be used for bootstrapping SNI encryption as well:

Google will be an other, I would expect. Google is working on this standard to build it into Android.

I think why Mozilla still doesn't want DNSSEC is because when it breaks it breaks in a big way. And DNSSEC still hasn't got their root key (ksk) rollover process in place. Which is something they would need to properly support to make sure nothing breaks.

On the transport front. Eventually I would expect them to use HTTP/2 over UDP/DTLS which is actually pretty darn efficient. It's the IETF standard based on Google QUIC. Which will probably be called QUIC. Because the IETF workgroup is called QUIC.

Almost completely true, bioweapons would actually be something certain tiny countries are really good at.

But many have actually signed treaties not to use them (I believe even to not develop certain kinds).

Actually the more advanced our technologies get the bigger the threads.
