Yeah, if you uniquely tracked boxes and made all data in the system transparent then there could be some kind of won efficiency in there. This has nothing to do with the world’s slowest linked list that needs to burn up a tree very time you have a query for it. You could just be transparent now, but where’s the profit in that eh.
The answer to the supply chain crisis is of course to take computational resources that could be used to manage logistics, and instead use them for nothing.
like supply chain management is already a hard mathematical problem, why would the solution be to throw your resources at a completely unrelated hard math problem? Tech journalists are just the biggest dummies on earth.
“Hey Mr Editor, do you know anything about how blockchain works?”
“No.”
“Me either, but have I got a piece for you!”
The blockchain craze is basically the atomic craze of the 1950s. Both are ridiculously bad ideas outside of some specific applications (and that’s debatable for blockchain), but are being incredibly hyped up by nerds.
I mean atomic power in itself is way better than most other fossil fuels as the power source that was needed yesterday, but when talking about the applications like nuclear powered cars, or the other fantasies they had in the 50s… that’s just outlandish
