今天才看到臉書創辦人Mark Zuckerberg的這篇2018新目標的貼文，深覺發人深省。
當中提到他以及許多人投入科技領域有很大的信念就是抱持世界「#去中心化」並且利用科技「#替更多人賦能」的理想。他認為現今的政府以及某些公司反而是反向的試圖加以控制並鞏固中心化的結構。
但他也同時提到，去中心化的過程也會伴隨著冒著事物失去掌控的危險，如散播焦慮、族群分裂、濫用及仇恨。並且希望透過一年的努力去深入研究這這方面的問題。
好der，回頭看看自己創辦Ting's Bistro的目的就是希望透過社群的力量推廣下廚做菜的樂趣。其實就是希望透過 #自學 來增進生活，不必把「#吃」這一件最基本的需求交給"專家"或者"認證合格"的人，你我真的都可以做到！

Every year I take on a personal challenge to learn something new. I've visited every US state, run 365 miles, built an AI for my home, read 25 books, and learned Mandarin.
I started doing these challenges in 2009. That first year the economy was in a deep recession and Facebook was not yet profitable. We needed to get serious about making sure Facebook had a sustainable business model. It was a serious year, and I wore a tie every day as a reminder.
Today feels a lot like that first year. The world feels anxious and divided, and Facebook has a lot of work to do -- whether it's protecting our community from abuse and hate, defending against interference by nation states, or making sure that time spent on Facebook is time well spent.
My personal challenge for 2018 is to focus on fixing these important issues. We won't prevent all mistakes or abuse, but we currently make too many errors enforcing our policies and preventing misuse of our tools. If we're successful this year then we'll end 2018 on a much better trajectory.
This may not seem like a personal challenge on its face, but I think I'll learn more by focusing intensely on these issues than I would by doing something completely separate. These issues touch on questions of history, civics, political philosophy, media, government, and of course technology. I'm looking forward to bringing groups of experts together to discuss and help work through these topics.
For example, one of the most interesting questions in technology right now is about centralization vs decentralization. A lot of us got into technology because we believe it can be a decentralizing force that puts more power in people's hands. (The first four words of Facebook's mission have always been "give people the power".) Back in the 1990s and 2000s, most people believed technology would be a decentralizing force.
But today, many people have lost faith in that promise. With the rise of a small number of big tech companies — and governments using technology to watch their citizens — many people now believe technology only centralizes power rather than decentralizes it.
There are important counter-trends to this --like encryption and cryptocurrency -- that take power from centralized systems and put it back into people's hands. But they come with the risk of being harder to control. I'm interested to go deeper and study the positive and negative aspects of these technologies, and how best to use them in our services.
This will be a serious year of self-improvement and I'm looking forward to learning from working to fix our issues together.
