Zvi Mowshowitz: Junk Fees, Bundling and Unbundling. Joe Biden harped on junk fees during the State of the Union. While I do not think it is the problem of our time, I take things in the reference class of resort fees, or fees to have adjacent seats on an airplane, and other such unbundling (and bundling) surprisingly seriously. I am putting up my thoughts here so I have a reference to fall back upon. (more)

Gordon Brander: Tools for thought should evolve building blocks. Goldberg’s paper is about designing genetic algorithms (GAs), but the patterns he identifies reveal deep insights about innovation in general. They also suggest new ways of thinking about tools for thought. Let's unpack! (more)

In distributed computing, a conflict-free replicated data type (CRDT) is a data structure that is replicated across multiple computers in a network, with the following features: The application can update any replica independently, concurrently and without coordinating with other replicas. An algorithm (itself part of the data type) automatically resolves any inconsistencies that might occur. Although replicas may have different state at any particular point in time, they are guaranteed to eventually converge... The NoSQL distributed databases Redis, Riak and Cosmos DB have CRDT data types. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflict-free_replicated_data_type

aka Secure Scuttlebutt - Secure Scuttlebutt (SSB) is a peer-to peer communication protocol, mesh network, and self-hosted social media ecosystem.[3][4] Each user hosts their own content and the content of the peers they follow, which provides fault tolerance and eventual consistency.[5] Messages are digitally signed and added to an append-only list of messages published by an author.[6] SSB is primarily used for implementing distributed social networks, and utilizes cryptography to assure that content remains unforged as it is propagated through the network. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Scuttlebutt (more)
