It's not always correct, no. Fortunately there's another identifier - the Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN) - that exists to, well, uniquely identify every property in the UK. Currently it's proprietary but from July 20

What what about citizens who don't have those things? There are plenty of homeless and/or destitute people around. That's why this is a class issue. And then look at the racial make-up of those on the lower rungs of the class

Hacker News is - in large part - a promotional activity of a set of venture capitalists. Naturally it attracts people (although not _only_ people) who want to suck up to venture capitalists, or who share the same hyper-capitalist mindset.

I fully agree. Silicon Valley-style startups act like cancer, and venture capital is the carcinogen.

Oh I'm not shedding any tears for legacy-style CAs. But just because the previous situation was bad doesn't mean that a LE monoculture won't also be bad (for varying definitions of "bad").

ACME-only isn't the problem, it's a Let's Encrypt mono-culture I'm concerned about. We could do with another LE-style service (or two) operated independently (both organisationally and geopolitically).
