Food delivery, small amazon packages, pharmacies. All of that can be delivered with a bike.
In big cities from South America, there is a whole industry (look for "São Paulo motoboys") that basically crushes any attempt from UPS or Fedex entering the market.
So, the talk about "companies pushing this because of money" is total bullshit.
> They cover both the city close to the warehouse and 3 other cities closeby
You keep talking about logistics for the typical US suburb when I am talking about places with higher pop density, which (as I understand it) is what the article frames as "urban" scenario.
This is not going anywhere. Better to leave like this.
Ok, I will answer it. No #IPFS server (that I know of) has any type of ACL in place. If you put a IPFS server online, any file you request through it will end up on its cache. If you put a gateway online, people can put all types of crap there and good luck to you explaining why you have illegal data on your server.
There is also no way to say "Here is a list of other IPFS nodes that are managed by other people that can be trusted" You can make a cluster, but you need to own it all.
That's the idea for @brave , but it seems that they got a bit too dependent on the easy money from FTX/Solana and Binance and now are a bit lost on their original purpose (make it possible for users to monetise their work without relying on centralized platforms)
They talk so much about privacy, but never ever considered having their own Mastodon instance, which could have been funded by their token.
I am really not in the mood to get into another argument about this, but to summarize:
- no ad is "replaced". "Regular" Ad blocking and the Brave ads are independent functionality and both are opt-in. - users choose if/when/how many ads they want to receive from Brave - users get 70% of the revenue, which is a better deal than any other - People keep repeating a bunch of falsehoods and assuming malice just because the hate Eich.
And quite frankly, the fact that Brave's system makes the sites with in-page and tracking ads struggle *is a good thing and the whole point of the system*
As an user, I do *not* want to support ad-based sites. I want to be able to select who gets my support.
Right, I do not want to support ad-based sites. I think they are morally wrong and I think this business model has made the world and the internet objectively worse. I do not want to "leech" of them, I just want them to disappear and give way to an internet where people can vote with their (metaphorical) wallets.
Brave's system fixes this. It gives power to the user to choose who gets their money and support.
How much does the US Armed Forces weight, and how much energy do they consume (along with all the financial institutions) to secure the USD as the world's reserve currency?
Also, why do you say "blockchain" when the "problem" with Bitcoin is its consensus algorithms. Ethereum also has a blockchain and it is considered robust enough to secure hundreds of billions of dollars while consuming less energy than all the videogame consoles use while in standby.
@dansup you can do this is in a privacy-preserving way, no?
- Instead of asking the user to upload their contacts, get the user own email/phone/pixelfed account handle.
- Upload a hash of the private contact information, paired with clean text pixelfed account info.
- Other people now are able to find each other by simply asking your service "do you know anyone with this hash?", and in case your service answers yes, then your app can say "yes, you should talk with so-and-so@pixelfed.
