I work there, and am on the Disney Open Source Committee!

We also just open sourced a hybrid public/private blockchain platform "Dragonchain" with some interesting features.

Architecture document: https://dragonchain.github.io/doc/DragonchainArchitecture.pd...

Code is newly released, and rough around the edges. We're working to get the docs up to par and some Docker containers ready for ease of use. Feedback is welcome.

j0j0r0··on The Last Question
i saw this as a little kid with my dad as a slide show at a planetarium...(omnisphere in wichita, ks)

as a kid, it was ok, but slightly boring until the very end, when after minutes of complete darkness very bright lights came and the planetarium stars went spinning ... it made the whole room seem to spin.

i remembered it all that time, but could never discover who wrote it...

so, thanks.

j0j0r0··on Please Stop Attacking MIT's Network
well, in this case, enough to know that the organization should suffer shame.

so, i do apologize if i upset you, and didn't intend to speak to _everyone_ associated with the organization.

in other cases, i would admit that beautiful and wonderful things have come from _individuals_ at MIT...but that is not the context within which my eloquent pair of sentences were made.

however, in this case, it seems that academic snobbery and/or greed was a contributing factor to the suicide of a great individual, and that is enough for me to make my comment.

:)

j0j0r0··on Keyboard vs. the Mouse pt. 3
so, using cursor keys alone and in MSWord (!) is slower than using a mouse... no mention of "real" editors e.g. emacs, vim, etc... worthless drivel... how'd this get voted up to waste my time?
