Freenet is also based on middle-out compression.

No. Trying to push 30TB into Freenet will be interpreted as an attack on the network by other peers and they'll disconnect from your peer.

Freenet is better viewed as a communication medium than a storage medium. Data is prioritized according to demand, somewhat like an LRU cache. You can't upload 30TB and expect the network to preserve it for you.

On liability, running a Freenet peer is more like running network infrastructure that automatically routes and caches other people's traffic than intentionally publishing it. US law explicitly recognizes this distinction in the DMCA's provisions for transitory network communications and system caching. We discuss this in more detail in the FAQ.

You obviously haven't tried Freenet. You can join our room on River and you'll see no spam, no fraud, no hate speech, none of that.

Decentralized doesn't mean unmoderated. Systems built on Freenet can be moderated however their creators and communities want. River is moderated.

The difference is that nobody running one service gets to decide what everyone else is allowed to run.

Thanks for your questions, Freenet caches data but it isn’t meant to be a long-term storage network. It’s better to think of it as a communication system. Data persists as long as at least one node remains subscribed to it. If nobody subscribes (including the author), it will eventually disappear from the network. So yes, if only your node subscribes then the data will only exist there and won’t be available when your machine is offline. But if other nodes subscribe it will be replicated automatically and remain available even if your node goes offline.

New home or apartment construction is more air tight than it used to be and companies cheap out and don't install real exhaust vents over stoves.

I've heard this touted as the reasoning, and it seems plausible at first glance, but I don't that better ventilation is going to make a significant difference for the following reasons:
1) In my personal experience, people tend to only turn on vents when what they are cooking is smelly or smoky in some way. The hazards as I understand them are from the burning methane itself, which is largely odor free
2) There's really no way to determine how well a hood is set up and how well it ventilates, even when it is ventilated to the outside. No doubt it is better, but by how much? Has anyone studied this? I'm unaware of any standard regarding this or any reasonable way of measuring.
3) There are situations where "proper" ventilation is pretty much impossible. What do you do in this case?

In order to properly address this issue we'd have to acknowledge the hazard, which a lot of people seem to be resistant to. I don't think we're doing anyone any favors by blaming bad construction.

I'm fairly certain this will be more trouble to enforce than they are bargaining for, and may have some knock on negative side-effects.

However, assuming it isn't a complete failure and social media use is decreased substantially, it may provide some interesting independent data about childrens mental health and social media use.

like an unnecessary Wisk.

HP builds multi-function machines as well, the scanners SHOULD position them for doing well transitioning from a printed world to an exclusively digital one, but the software they provide for scanning is wholly inadequate. They don't even include OCR with their scanning software.

Central Park is "publicly available," but that doesn't mean you have the right to cut down the trees in it and sell them for lumber. The AI companies are selling lumber and when you ask them where they got it, they shrug and say "publicly available sources."

It's confusing because of non-unique names, but I haven't been able to find a CV, bio, or publication list... nothing to confirm that he is at NASA, was at NASA, or that he's the top electrostatics expert at NASA.

I will not take this unnecessary Wisk.
