Decentralyze

As I remember it, about ten years ago, I started this blog for one main reason. I had just watched a talk from the CTO of Second Life (remember them, when they were hot?) about his vision for how to expand by opening up the system, making it decentralized.  I thought to myself: that’s going to be really hard, but I’ve thought about it a lot; I should blog my ideas about it.

As I dug into the problem, however, I realized how many sub-problems I couldn’t really solve, yet. So I never posted.   (Soon thereafter, Cory Ondrejka left the Second Life project, moving on to run engineering at Facebook.  Not sure if that’s ironic.)

Now, what feels like several lifetimes later, I’m ready to try again.

This time the “industry darling” I want to tackle first is Uber.  Okay, it’s already become widely hated, but the valuation is still, shall we say, … considerable.

So, coming soon: how to decentralized Uber.
