- ben_w 3y agoAt university I was using JANET, and in some ways it was better than what we have now. I don't think they'd have ever bothered inventing privacy violating trackers A/B testing (though if I'm wrong this is the best place to assert wildly and be quickly corrected).

Great, but the internet doesn't need them to be hugely culturally and socially important — and I'm saying that as an iPhone app developer since before the first iPad came out.
