Ridiculous.
Me: I put your text into AI and ask it to summarize. We really do have a critical problem of mental laziness.
FYI I made a comment very similar to yours, before reading yours. I'll put it here for reference. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46503181
I think it's time for a big move towards immutable databases that weren't even mentioned in this article. I've already worked with Datomic and immudb: Datomic is very good, but extremely complex and exotic, difficult learning curve to achieve perfect tuning. immudb is definitely not ready for production and starts having problems with mere hundreds of thousands of records. There's nothing too serious yet.
Even though I read so many posts criticizing PGP, it's still difficult for me to find an alternative. He states in the article that being a "Swiss Army Knife" is bad. I understand the argument, but this is precisely what makes GPG so powerful. The scheme of public keys, private keys, revoke, embedded WOT, files, texts, everything. They urgently need to make a "modern version" of GPG. He needs a replacement, otherwise he'll just be whining.

Savior of the universe.
Nice idea.
Here’s a great idea for a good opportunist:
A “Confessions of a Software Developer” website where devs can come in and make anonymous confessions.
I have no idea what is this, but it's beautiful.
Wait a minute: the guy did all this during a flight?
Incredibly amazing.

This ruined my damn day.
Brabo.

Just because he implies he's an alien? lol
How did you manage to obtain Steve Jobs' real email? That seems to be the case. Whether it involved stealing the password, hijacking the domain, or something similar, the fact remains that he sent it from the real email.
It's quite possible that he actually lost it or isn't doing it for some other reason. If it's him and he genuinely doesn't care about proving it, no one will ever know. Either way, it's intriguing.
Why? What are the evidences? Even if it's false, the messages are interesting and well aligned with what Satoshi would actually say. If it's a troll, it can't be denied that it's being well executed. They could have easily spouted nonsense instead.

I am from that time, and it's funny that I've never heard about this. Sometimes it's sad to see such a complex project that probably hasn't been used much.

From Robin Linus, in bitcoin-dev mailing list:
We introduce ZeroSync, the first-ever proof system addressing Bitcoin’s scalability challenges with Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge (SNARKs). ZeroSync compresses the entire Bitcoin blockchain into a compact proof of validity, enabling instant verification and unlocking various innovative applications. We discuss our prototype implementation of a chain state proof, utilizing the Cairo language, Utreexo, and recursive STARKs. Our work enables diverse applications, including quick bootstrapping of full nodes, trustless light clients, enhanced Lightning Network privacy, and secure cross-chain bridges. Chain state proofs require no consensus changes, which is crucial as forks in Bitcoin are challenging to implement and achieve consensus for. Despite the existing bottleneck of prover performance, we present a range of optimization strategies and demonstrate the practicality of generating a complete chain state proof. Finally, we introduce zkCoins, a client-side validation protocol combined with zeroknowledge SNARKs, drastically improving privacy and throughput of token transactions. In combination with future Bitcoin features, such as Simplicity, zkCoins also enables private and more scalable BTC transactions. The groundbreaking compression capabilities of SNARKs initiated a paradigm shift in cryptocurrency design, and ZeroSync is pioneering their application to Bitcoin.
Absurd.
