I hope I don’t have to spell out how absolutely fucking horrible it would be if Google is allowed to buy Twitter.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/google/11520819/Google-looking-at-buying-Twitter.html …

@aral@lightcoin@romeroabelleira@dsearls this is where I get my terminology from:https://twitter.com/ioptio/status/597113993401098240 …

@ryaneshea@lightcoin@romeroabelleira@dsearls@ioptio I find that overly-complicated. Maybe we need a term for “every node is equal” -
@aral@ryaneshea@lightcoin@romeroabelleira@dsearls admin control over nodes is the key difference between distributed and decentralised -
@ioptio Ah, got the puppet analogy now :) Agree. Your terminology &@dsearls’s are reversed. +@ryaneshea@lightcoin@romeroabelleira -
@aral@ioptio@dsearls@lightcoin@romeroabelleira note that the graphic that you referenced is from Paul Baran 1964: http://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/research_memoranda/2006/RM3420.pdf … -
@ryaneshea@ioptio@lightcoin@romeroabelleira Yes, sorry, I saw it via@dsearls so lazily reference that post :)

@aral@lightcoin@romeroabelleira@dsearls Yes, quite familiar with that paper. Though it seems that terminology has deviated from this :/ -
@aral@lightcoin@romeroabelleira@dsearls I wish people stuck w/ "distributed", but many are using decentralized now http://redecentralize.org/ -
@ryaneshea@aral@lightcoin@dsearls well, decentralized can be achieved w/ less copper/glass. In that context it makes sense. -
@aral is there a place for this where we can discuss this in a more organised and persisted fashion? +@ryaneshea@lightcoin@dsearls
