generals

The key is to star the process now before generals get their hands on the technology so there won't be any pushback.

My understanding is that one of the major ideas of the Bitcoin blockchain is to solve the Byzantine generals problem, where it's irrelevant whether the participating generals are known.

What is relevant is that the generals cannot/do not necessarily trust each other, yet they must still reach consensus.

You aren't going to build a swarm of robotic generals, each fighting their own war, with no communication between them.

In warfare, the best generals are the ones who can keep track of every single nuance of the battlefield simultaneously.

The only thing I'm not comfortable about is giving this much power to the human generals in the military.

Because of this and good networking I've met many successful business people, startup entrepreneurs and consulate generals.

That has made military planning massively more effective as generals can now see the real time location of both our troops and our enemy.

Solutions to the Byzantine generals problem have been known for a while.

I spent an embarrassing number of hours playing Lords of the Realm 2 and Civil War Generals on my first PC.

I've seen the infighting generals thing before, and many times behaviors like that might work in one situation but not in another.

Damn, I would love to see Civil War Generals on GoG...

It’s sad to watch, like a slow motion train wreck, but it’s also a poisonous environment and no one can change it except the CEO, who blindly trusts his “Generals”, which only exacerbates the situation.

One of the generals, LeMay, said there was no way to avoid bombing civilians because the Japanese had "deintegrated" their industry (his comment was that after bombing a civilian area, they noticed every house had a drill press still standing after everything else burnt down).

Generals/Admirals always prepare for the last war, and ground attack fighters are about as useful as battleships, carriers, and horse cavalry in 2015.

He can trust his ‘Generals’ but thankfully this isn’t the military and I can leave.

After spending eight years in the military (where everyone's salary is public, even Generals) I was kind of shocked when I got out and everyone was so secretive about how much money they made.
