I think the fastest way to connect Africa to the internet is to use a decentralized Satellite internet sharing system which incentivizes operators with cryptocurrencies. E.g., if you set up a StarLink station or share internet via your own hardware and connectivity, you get paid based on who uses your networks. I can see a combination using HiveCell and Helium plus StarLink or other satellite internet provider. I’m going to give this a shot. Really…
Some objectives, no particular order: Become a leading expert in Cloud-Native and Edge-Native Technologies and Ecosystems Learn how to build and design micro-datacenters, MECs, Clusters Produce reference designs for all of the above Create a reference design for a decentralized internet based on cryptocurrency sharing, similar to Helium, to wire up regions of Africa not connected to the internet Become a leading expert in Edge Co-Location networks, hardware design Fix cluster experience, not quite sure…
Bet #1: The Convergence of Cloud-Native, Open-Source, Edge Computing, Edge-Native, Edge AI Will Be Explosive I am making a significant career investment in the idea that there will be a convergence of multiple markets in the area of Cloud-Native software migrating to the edge. In particular, edge co-locations and Open-Source software. I am focusing all of my available time and energy on gaining advanced expertise in this area, as measured by the production of high…

First Principles – “Done” There is no such thing as “Done,” it is a non-concept The ideal project generates high interest, attention, inbound connections, learning and is never “Done.” The ideal project continues to generate value at all times, none of the value comes from being “Done” When a project is “Done,” it no longer generates value, therefore, being finished is never a goal. First Principles – Corporations & Organizations Profit is waste because it…

Cliff joined us to talk about the Amplio Talking Book and how he and his team are using electronic devices to change the world.
Spent an hour with Rob Tiffany, who is VP & Head of IoT Strategy @ Ericsson and Exec Director @ Moab Foundation. We talked about a wide range of topics including Rob’s background as a submariner.
Reposted from my LinkedIn article with the same title: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/unleashing-global-community-5-lessons-learned-from-project-st-john/?published=t A few weeks ago, foldforcovid.io launched as a community effort to help developers donate their spare compute cycles to researchers studying the COVID-19 virus. FoldForCovid.io relies on the Rosetta@Home distributed research platform produced by the University of Washington Baker Lab. Since launch, more than 3,000+ people have installed the project on their spare single-board computers and laptops in nearly every country in the world. For me, this project captures the essence…
