using reputation systems to create shared function-critical datastructures in open networks

Search engines, spam filtration, and p2p protocols - all need to rate the value of information. Search engines need it to provide good results; spam filtration needs it to exclude noise; and p2p networks need it for security and efficiency.

What is "value?" I'll use two dimensions:

• Quality (how useful the information is). The more permissive participation is, the greater the need for quality-ranking. Term-frequency search alone fails for the Web, because the Web doesn't prefilter for quality.
• Trust (how safe the information is to use). The more function-critical the information is, the greater the need for trust-ranking. If a DHT's host-lookup can be manipulated to flood an unsuspecting computer (a DDoS) then the DHT is unsound.

The final result: require() any module on npm in your browser console with browserify

This article is written to explain how the above gif works in the chrome (and other) browser consoles. A quick disclaimer: this whole thing is a huge hack, it shouldn't be used for anything seriously, and there are probably much better ways of accomplishing the same.

Update: There are much better ways of accomplishing the same, and the script has been updated to use a much simpler method pulling directly from browserify-cdn. See this thread for details: mathisonian/requirify#5

Putting the "Tor" back in Torrent

How a Popcorn Time fork patch could incentivize people to run thousands of new Tor relays

This is a follow-up to this discussion: Can NAT traversal be Tor's killer feature?

If torrents are P2P's killer application, and NAT traversal/"static IP" are Tor's (via hidden services), putting them together could prove to be the best incentivization scheme for growing the Tor network other than cold crypto cash.

You're stupid

Everybody knows you're not supposed to use torrents with tor, right?

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:
