Google, Apple, Microsoft, et al, keep trying to convince us to stop using their services.

I was just looking for one of these two days ago, and I didn't know what to call it. I haven't purchased an optical disk in a long time, but someone sent me one. Only then did it occur to me that I didn't have an optical drive in one of the computers I currently use.

..or build to last a long time like Andrew Camarata.

I've wondered if maybe the "stones" of the Pyramids were poured. It wouldn't surprise me given the lack of gaps.

You aren't the only one.

Are there strong counterpoints to this? If that is possible it seems extremely more likely than aliens or whatever else people are coming up with.

Aliens are incredibly unlikely. The Egyptians had grain money with demurage fees which encourage hundred year+ projects. Anything they did had a discounted future value that was higher than present value. Building something that lasted 4000 years was economically viable for them.

Right, of course aliens are extremely unlikely. The reason it is even talked about is because there are few convincing explanations how the Egyptians could theoretically have built the pyramids at that time.

I spent a few months devouring information on geopolymers. This theory seems very likely. But, Davidovits is the only researcher that has published on the subject that I have seen.

Thank you! Very interesting.

Is the thought that things like Monero, ZCash, etc., will be eliminated, or that they don't provide the anonymity that people think? What about the CCs that choose to implement Mimblewimble?
