The Wolf Den #558 - The Ethereum Hype Train
One of the guaranteed constants in crypto is that taking a week off will feel like missing an entire year. While I was “gone,” the Ethereum merge date was officially set, the possibility of a hard fork became a reality, and a coordinated global attack ended Tornado Cash. Wow. And if it wasn’t already obvious enough, everyone is seemingly focused on Ethereum. Here’s a quick overview of what went down.

The Render Token
I wrote about OTOY over four years ago, in “Today I Saw The Future”. Since then, I have been inspired by the commitment of the founders Jules Urbach and Alissa Grainger to the vision that Jules enunciates: “… to render and remix simulated reality as effortlessly as the web did for text and digital media. Now, OTOY is building RNDR, its own GPU-cloud rendering token, to decentralize AR/VR, game, and movie rendering to over 7 million GPUs owners.

Its pages and applications are modifiable by users (e.g., extensions, ad/tracker blocking, more general browser configuration, etc).

The Internet’s ‘Original Sin’ Endangers More Than Privacy
Reactions to Facebook’s privacy leaks ranged from surprise at the scale of the data breach to disbelief that anyone could be “shocked, shocked” about what transpires inside Silicon Valley’s abattoirs of data. But the loss of privacy is only one symptom of systemic ills plaguing the internet. The problem began with what some call the internet’s original sin—offering free software and content in exchange for the hope of unprecedented growth. Advertising was supposed to pay the way.
Video, Mobile, and the Open Web – Mozilla Hacks - the Web developer blog
I wrote The Open Web and Its Adversaries just over five years ago, based on the first SXSW Browser Wars panel (we just had our fifth, it was great — thanks to all who came). The little slideshow I presented is in part quaint. WPF/E and Adobe Apollo, remember those? (Either the code names, or the extant renamed products?) The Web has come a long way since 2007.
The Bridge of Khazad-DRM
To lighten the mood: But actually, I’m serious. People are rightly concerned about what is going on in the W3C with DRM, as couched in the Encrypted Media Extensions (EME) proposal. Please read Henri Sivonen’s explanation of EME if you haven’t yet.

MWC 2014, Firefox OS Success, and Yet More Web API Evolution
Just over a week ago, I left Barcelona and Mobile World Congress 2014, where Mozilla had a huge third year with Firefox OS. We announced the $25 Firefox OS smartphone with Spreadtrum Communications, targeting retail channels in emerging markets, and attracting operator interest to boot. This is an upgrade for those channels at about the same price as the feature phones selling there today.
CapitolJS, RiverTrail
I took time away from the Mozilla all-hands last week to help out on-stage at the Intel Developer Forum with the introduction of RiverTrail, Intel’s technology demonstrator for Parallel JS — JavaScript utilizing multicore (CPU) and ultimately graphics (GPU) parallel processing power, without shared memory threads (which suck). Then over the weekend, I spoke at CapitolJS, talking about ES6 and Dart, and demo’ing RiverTrail to the JS faithful.
