I don't think you understand what's really going on. Read more here - https://medium.com/@FEhrsam/blockchain-based-machine-learnin...

This is pretty freaking cool.

That's not true. You just need more examples of leaders who are engineering focused but can also get business stuff done.

Unfortunately, the US has been taking Japanese talent to big companies and startups over here. Hopefully some of that talent stays there to BUILD and sell stuff.

It's about damn time the Japanese get back into entrepreneurialism.

I walked around Tokyo seeing waves of people going to work and thinking, "there's way too much group think here" which I later learned is part of asian culture.

It's about time they get back into building solutions instead of slaving away as salarymen.

Smart

The greatest gains are not long since gone or we'd already have perfectly working dApps.

Instacart's biggest issue is not knowing real-time inventory. Amazon will never have this issue, because they just bought Whole Foods. Instacart, on the other hand, relies on crowdsourced shopper data to manage this.

The results is basically a hit and miss experience. My guess is they hope to get this inventory data direct from the stores one day, but who knows if they will.

I've heard the toy analogy with the iPhone or Facebook before. When you look at the front page of YC, most of the successful companies are either 1) Enterprise (Dropbox) or 2) Consumer Facing (Instacart, Airbnb, etc.)

It's actually quite rare, Aaron, that they end up like Twitch or Reddit but I get your point.

It would be significant if crypto was like the traditional stock market.

Rely on decentralized solutions.

I understand the benefits from instant web chat, but I think it's not too difficult to access the signal protocol through Whatsapp or Signal's desktop app.

Why don't they use the Chrome Extension - uBlock origin?

Snapchat offers E2E?

It's time for Blockstack.

Does Airbnb and Instacart have a lot of patents? Or was it their timing?

Everything is timing.

That's exactly what I was thinking. The API is definitely more than 7 lines of code.

None of these will get me to switch. Chrome is still faster than Firefox, sorry Mozilla.

I'm way more interested if they create their own digital asset than the money they raised.

Even better, the 0x protocol.

I thought Sia is focused on the enterprise?

Either way, thanks for replying. I'm looking forward to reading the new whitepaper soon.

Out of curiosity, can you clarify how Filecoin is different than Sia or will I need to wait for your new whitepaper?

I think you're underestimating how big the cryptocurrency market will be.

Isn't that what Cosmos is doing?

This. Instacart is really just a luxury service for the middle/upper class. Those same customers have Amazon Prime and guess what Prime Fresh will offer soon? (Whole Foods)

I miss Apple's innovation.

At this point, what hasn't Uber done?

That's why they're focused on the Enterprise now. I agree their acquisition strategy has been lackluster.

I'm not a fan of huge groups but thank you for the suggestion. I also recommend watching Sam's response in the details above about Meetup's.
