Sepp Hasslberger: The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) with Comments from Phi Beta Iota Editors

This is about de-centralising the net, distributing the data to the periphery where it's needed, rather than running everything through big data pipes and central servers…

HTTP is obsolete. It's time for the distributed, permanent web

HTTP is broken. It's time for the distributed, permanent web. The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is a new hypermedia distribution protocol, addressed by content and identities. IPFS fundamentally changes the way we look for things, and this is it's key feature. With HTTP, you search for locations. With IPFS, you search for content. IPFS is still in Alpha release, but you can find out more here

There’s a blockchain for that!

The code that secures Bitcoin could also power an alternate Internet. First, though, it has to work.

For now, think of it as a way of transferring a digital message from one party to another, where both parties can count on the integrity of the message, even when they don’t trust, or even know, each other. Right now, these messages are mostly virtual cash. But they could be any kind of information.

Owl: GMO Bio-War Against Chipotle?

Who? Who?
Who? Who?

This article's author, Mike Adams, admits to speculating, as he has no proof the GMO industry is sabotaging Chipotle, but I think it is very plausible speculation. The e. coli outbreaks entail a rare strain of e coli, which make this theory even more compelling.  For those who like connecting the dots, the Chipotle incidents, looked at as Adams has, is reminiscent of the odd deaths of multiple alternative medicine physicians in 2015. Another example: listeners of Gary Null's daily noon Internet show have had to suffer days of show blackouts for the last month. The blackout of the show usually ends as soon his hour is over. Very odd. Null is a nutritionist/activist who releases a large amounts of excellent information and analysis highly critical of the medical, pharmaceutical, food and other industries, plus the government.

Ten companies using the blockchain for non-financial innovation

Companies discusses: ascribe, bitproof.io, UProov, Colu, Warranteer, Everledger, Filament, Genecoin, Provenance, Wave, IBREA,

Phi Beta Iota: Ty Simpson helps us see that blockchain is about EVERYTHING, not just money. It is particularly (my view) about assuring the integrity of all information — including especially true cost information — in all languages. This is a hugely useful article with ten very specific examples of how blockchain makes integrity possible (this help eradicate corruption and waste).

Adam Tucker: Understanding “New Power” — a Current not a Currency with 2 Excellent Graphics

Understanding “New Power”

Old power works like a currency. It is held by few. Once gained, it is jealously guarded, and the powerful have a substantial store of it to spend. It is closed, inaccessible, and leader-driven. It downloads, and it captures.

New power operates differently, like a current. It is made by many. It is open, participatory, and peer-driven. It uploads, and it distributes. Like water or electricity, it’s most forceful when it surges. The goal with new power is not to hoard it but to channel it.

Two excellent graphics below the fold.

ISIS Leader: We Are Funded By The Obama Administration

Yousaf al Salafi, a man believed to be the Pakistani commander of Islamic State (ISIS), claims that  confessed that he has been receiving money through the United States. Al-Salafi made his claims during an interrogation by the Pakistani government. Salafi confessed that he “received money to recruit young people to fight in Syria and that the United States paid him $600 a head for anyone that joined.” Michael Flynn, former director of Obama’s Defense Intelligence Agency, said in the months following al Salafi’s admission that he warned the Obama administration three years ago that the groups they were funding in Syria were actually Islamic jihadists.
