Many times have I hacked to get free in flight and hotel wifi, often using brute force algos. Never have I thought of an idea as hilarious as this. Well done.

My bet would be that scientists write the most, not journalists. You seem to have changed your position from journalists to "people whose day job is to write", which is good, as that includes scientists.

I think the essay would benefit from adding examples for "obstinate". Surely there must be specific characters from fiction (or history) that he can reference to better support his argument (without offending anyone living).

Great questions. For the $100, you get the rights for 10 years to update some lines in the `wws.scroll` file (which is actually currently named `readme.scroll`). Think of that file like our DNS root zone file. That's it. We don't

For 10 years. $10 a year. The important thing is to find people committed to building great sites for the long run. If you're not willing to put in a little bit of money, then it's not for you.

I agree with a lot of this, but think the future of the Internet will be u-shaped: - People will use it drastically less. I got rid of my smart phone ~2 years ago and it's been a huge life improvement. Still on the computer a lot, but
