In a way I am definitely seeing your perspective here. Letting "good guys" win this race ocassionally is an improvement over never letting them win.
It's just that I think we can do better, because I think the web is a hostile, vitriolic open sewer and must be governed properly before civilized business can be conducted on it. It was perhaps a great innovative place, but it now is a dumpster fire causing endless headaches and beyond redemption. I think it's time to face this reality instead of trying to dress up the turd.
- dcminter 2y agoThat's an equivalent demand to expecting the world as a whole to be "governed properly" and thus won't be achieved for exactly the same reasons.
- whatnow37373 2y agoNot the world, our patch on it. We more or less succeeded in the physical world depending on who you ask. Don’t see the problem with the digital.
- dcminter 2y agoAre you not aware that the internet is an international artefact? Will you institute a Great Firewall to prevent your citizens from seeing outside your borders? An inconvenient question I often ask about proposed architecture changes is: "How will you get there from here?" - if you can't answer it then it's not going to happen.
- whatnow37373 2y agoI am, in fact, aware of that. > if you can't answer it then it's not going to happen. My point is that if we as a technical community don't start looking outside our technical bubble the powers that be will at some point figure out a way to get there from here and without consulting you (us). But maybe that's wrong and maybe nothing's going to need changing. I hope so.
