I believe it also includes international airports in the orange area?

an internet that isn’t controlled by ISPs and other current gatekeepers

Yeah - now, the downsides of this are well covered, especially by Corey Doctrow, in that once the users are locked into the platform, Amazon decreases the actual benefits - and then starts chisling the sellers as well.

But to fix that, you do need to do something besides just scold the customers.

And most Amazon customers have prime, meaning they’ve prepaid shipping already.

It’s not just books. Amazon offers many more goods, and locks people in with Prime.

A blockchain is nothing more really than a database.

The use case is when I don’t want or have a trusted keeper of that data.

See, if it’s your excel spreadsheet, how do I know that you’re not going to change the values on it? For some things that doesn’t matter - but for things like funds between different parties, etc, that can be a big issue.

Traditionally this has worked by having a trusted third party - a bank, a court, a escrow company, etc. But all these require lots of effort to have as well, and can be bad actors.

There are already cryptocurrencies with barely a fraction of the energy use of Bitcoin.

They’ll pull themselves up by their bootstraps on the way there!

Nah, just shows your context was always “domicile”, not “house”.

You’re just shown them that you have information, and it’s valuable enough for you to take pains to hide it.

They might not get it all, but they’ll use the wrench to try.

There’s always an XKCD

yeah, I remember not understanding domain driven design
