    1. The 2000's utopian dream for computer programs was the ‘semantic web’- which for me is still a little raw to talk about.

      believe! work for it!

      it's remarkable to me how short-lived the attention is, how few rally, how much development is left up to the few remote entities.

      the semantic web, to me, is about decomposing the page into useful components, that have their own meaning distinct from the big page. that's the core start. there's a ton of semantic reasoning & other shit, academia has a strong hold on the semantic web it feels like. but the field is open. anyone can begin building new experiences any day that fulfill this vision. figuring out how to build a scalable practice around it is step 2. thusfar no one has made much headway on step 1 though!

      let some of the other points in this writeup characterize the lessons for how we might build scaleably, step 2. but focus on step 1? maybe?

    1. Your file, and all of the blocks within it, is given a unique fingerprint called a cryptographic hash
