Technology and Choice #19 Balancing Trust and Trustlessness
April 19th, 2017 by
John Ferguson In wrapping up my discussion of Tezos with CTO Arthur Breitman, the theme of "Trust: where and how much to bestow it" is central enough to make it the theme of the episode, though we cover a lot of other aspects of Tezos and blockchain tech in general with a bit more technical depth than the last episode.

Technology and Choice #18 Tezos and Scalable Decentralized Governance

Arthur Breitman, CTO and lead developer of Tezos, started thinking about...

Technology and Choice #16 Will Work for Hemp
March 21st, 2017 by
John Ferguson In this Episode
This is the second of what we're calling The Hemp Corner of Technology & Choice. After doing a high-altitude overview of hemp and cannabis in the first Hemp Corner, we thought it would be a good idea to work at straightening out all the scrambled thinking about cannabis and hemp that has been brought about by nearly eight decades of prohibition and contradictory propaganda.
To do that we called in the big guns. Joy Beckerman-Maher is a 25 year veteran of laboring for ...
