When Google Met WikiLeaks
In June 2011, Julian Assange received an unusual visitor: the chairman of Google, Eric Schmidt, arrived from America at Ellingham Hall, the country residence in Norfolk, England where Assange was living under house arrest. For several hours the besieged leader of the worldas most famous insurgent publishing organization and the billionaire head of the worldas largest information empire locked horns. The two men debated the political problems faced by society, and the technological solutions engendered by the global networkafrom the Arab Spring to Bitcoin. They outlined radically opposing perspectives: for Assange, the liberating power of the Internet is based on its freedom and statelessness. For Schmidt, emancipation is at one with US foreign policy objectives and is driven by connecting non-Western countries to American companies and markets. These differences embodied a tug-of-war over the Internetas future that has only gathered force subsequently. When Google Met WikiLeaks presents the story of Assange and Schmidtas encounter. Both fascinating and alarming, it contains an edited transcript of their conversation and extensive, new material, written by Assange specifically for this book, providing the best available summary of his vision for the future of the Internet.This is, to my mind, the real technical innovation of Bitcoinait has solved it by using some hash problems which enforce delay trees and then a delay time. CPU work has to be done in order to move one thing to another, so information cana#39;t spread too fast. Once we ... What things do we want to be scarce? Well, names.
