I agree with all this, but didn't notice much talk about the business needs that lead to intrusive products and how to avoid and if necessary regulate those.

If we just ask people very nicely to not make lots money by ruining society, things will not go well.

Ding ding ding.

I've loved this book since reading it, but it basically boils down to practices you can only use in applications no one is paying attention to (i.e. I slip calmer patterns into POCs all the time).

The nasty practices are used because they make money, and money pays the rent.

One day, maybe, humans will work out the kinks of socialism and calm tech alike.

I thought it was a new craptocurrency technique: POC = Proof Of Cash. Anyone who has a lot of cash can generate as much craptocurrency as they want! The rich get richer, the poor get fuckeder.

Maybe Proof Of Cash is just a more honest synonym for Proof Of Stake.
