When discussing the widespread adoption of true, peer-to-peer decentralization, one could easily identify various social and political obstacles. However, there is also an often overlooked technological impairment as the underlying architecture of computer networks was not designed to achieve global-scale decentralization. Ideally a complete restructuring would be necessary, from applications and programming language, to as profound as rewriting operating system kernels. This is what Urbit is trying to achieve; a decentralized network where users have full control over their computer, running a unified operating system, where applications function seamlessly, without centralized chokepoints.We were joined by Ted Blackman, CTO of Urbit Foundation, and Gary Lieberman, the Chorus One Team Lead for Urbit, to discuss how Urbit reshapes the way we interact with computers, its current development stage, and what challenges it has to overcome.Topics covered in this episode:- Ted's background- What Urbit is building- The disruptive potential of Urbit- Gary's motivation behind joining Urbit- Urbit's impact on user experience- Current development stage and potential limitations- General timeframe for Urbit adoption- Other use cases for Urbit- Implications Urbit might have for crypto (synergies)- Privacy vs. AccountabilityEpisode links:- Urbit: https://bit.ly/3A9COrX- Urbit Foundation: https://bit.ly/3G8KZXR- Ted Blackman: https://bit.ly/3Wuqyde- Gary Lieberman: https://bit.ly/3YJcRt6Sponsors:- Tally Ho: Tally Ho is a new wallet for Web3 and DeFi that sees the wallet as a public good. Think of it like a community-owned alternative to MetaMask. - https://epicenter.rocks/tallycashThis episode is hosted by Brian Fabian Crain.

Ted Blackman & Gary Lieberman: Urbit - Decentralized Computing Platforms

Ted Blackman is a senior engineer at Tlon and one of the most advanced Urbit engineers in the world. We discuss how Urbit will get faster, how it will scale to billions of users, and how Urbit fits into the blockchain ecosystem. In some ways Urbit is like a blockchain, in other ways Urbit is the categorical dual of the blockchain, soon there will be a blockchain built on top of Urbit, and more.✦ Ted on Urbit: ~rovnys-ricfer✦ Get your own Urbit planet at imperceptible.computer✦ Subscribe to the Other Life newsletter at OtherLife.Co
