The extra features he "anticipated" were exactly what made Xanadu impossible to implement And yet everyone wants to implement all of those features eventually.

And yet everyone wants to implement all of those features eventually...funny how that works.
- evgen 17y agoIsn't that how it always happens? Someone will come up with a grand vision that is impossible to implement given the current technology or environment. Someone else will strip it down to the essential bits that are achievable. The next person will add another feature or layer that adds value to the network as a whole (and which would be valueless if it were not for that first, dumbed-down version), etc.
