No joke: you should try to get a TedX talk and inform the world on this subject. I think it's golden.


Thanks, I appreciate your kind words. Perhaps one day I, or someone else who runs with these laws, will be credible enough for a talk like that. Right now I'm focused on developing software to let us abide by Law 1.


I'm calling it now. This will get at least 30 upvotes.


This project confuses me greatly. How is it better than, for example, perfect privacy?


Hey,

It's not better, it serves a different purpose.

With PIA and other VPN providers, you're after privacy for browsing, streaming, etc while our service creates a self-contained network with no "exit to Internet", at least provided by us.

The idea is to add to this network all the devices you would like to communicate with each other, for example:

- Your laptop and your cloud servers, so you don't have to open SSH to the whole world or use a different management VPN for every provider.

- Different cloud servers from different providers, so they can communicate securely with each other (e.g. frontend -> DB, orchestrator -> workers, etc)

- A Minecraft server and all your friend's computers, so you can play Minecraft in a private server hosted anywhere in the world.

- Play [INSERT OLD GAME WITH LAN MULTIPLAYER CAPABILITIES HERE] with your friends by adding all of them to the network and starting a LAN game.

This is more similar to products like Hamachi.

I'll work now on clarifying this on the FAQ and probably avoid mentioning VPN all along :)


Same question. I don't get it, even after reading the FAQ...


Following on my answer to freethrow (parent comment), I've updated our FAQs:

I'm replying here so you have visibility too :)


I think a good idea might be to have a test:test account available for anyone in order to assess the platform first. In the same time start redesigning... EVERYTHING :)


Good article and I think it will be helpful for me personally as well.


It looks interesting...


It should be no surprise...


Will modern memorization techniques be implemented (for example Leitner boxes)?


You can track any source of learning, online course, youtube video, book, or any modern technique as long as you have a link to it


Someone at telegraph.co.uk has just discovered Parallax effects and is abusing them.


That was lovely to read and I agree 100%.
