    Was Napster decentralised? I was thinking more like BitTorrent but with blockchain.

    I thought the nausea came from your eyes telling you you're moving and/or rotating when your ears are telling you the contrary. They say for carsickness the worst thing is to read a book, you should look outside so the signals are coherent.

    That theory about the cockpit might be right, though. Maybe I'm subconsciously fixating on the sight/HUD.

  4. They certainly go a long way to prevent intentional tampering.

    If party A's stooges are doing it party B and C's observers will see them, and so on.

  5. Nothing hard about that. Let's see them do it during the day.

  6. Just a training run before they move you up to the Trump related stuff, Ivan?

  7. If I'm doing something really complex I often fiddle around a bit prototyping the basics, spend a day or two doing apparently nothing, then blitz it in an afternoon. Sometimes it's like the code writes itself.

    One time I think it did write itself, or maybe it was the elves. I was in no fit state after a very liquid lunch but it appeared from somewhere.

    Can you forward me the memo? I missed that one.

  9. You can at least try it and if that doesn't work, ramp up your work again.

    Hey boss, I quit. But don't replace me, I might want to come back a bit in a year or two.

    Yeah, I'm sure he'll do that for you.

    Break with tradition and read right to the end of TFA.

  11. It is easy to have a verified vote.

    It is easy to have a secret vote.

    It is very, very difficult to have both.

    Not even with a blockchain?

  12. People make mistakes, and sometimes they do it on purpose.

    GP mentioned scrutineers/observers.

    Protip: read *all* of something before responding to *any* of it.

  13. Surely the proof that you did the work would be ... the work?

    I don't need to take screenshots of a bricklayer at intervals of a minute; either the wall's there (and it's up to standard - straight and level and awesome and all that) or it isn't.

    Ooh, I didn't see that. I'll see if I can find it.

    Did see the Y axis reverse. Enabled it (so back/down actually goes up, like flying a plane), but realised I'd just got used to it being "wrong".

    I know it's not actually VR but I've just been playing Minecraft. Half an hour is the maximum I can put up with.

    Watching the hoglet play, I can just about cope with 5 minutes. He flicks it around like an epileptic breakdancer.

    Odd thing is I used to play a lot of flight sims and those never bothered me.

    I'm also one of those "can't cope with 3d" dinosaurs.

    It checks 3 of the four boxes of the "four factor test"

    It used the whole photograph and didn't do anything transformative, so it failed 1 and 3 at least.
