Is this a joke?
- Retr0id 2y agoWhy would it be a joke?
- Y_Y 2y agoEven assuming that uneven distribution is a problem, and that it was possible to make global wealth evenly distributed, it would be such a collosal undertaking that it would necessarily entail massive social upheaval and take a very long time after which the captcha problem would hardly be comparable to what we have now.
- Retr0id 2y agoNone of that is at all relevant to the point I was making. Whether you think extreme wealth inequality is good or bad, for as long as it exists, it makes paying fixed fees a poor alternative to captchas.

- Y_Y 2y agoUntil we solve the "water is wet" problem domain squatting will continue to be an issue. Without a definitive resolution to the continuum hypothesis there will be no efficient distributed consensus algorithm. As long as humanity bears the mark of Original Sin, it will be hard to run a business selling GPL software.
