I just saw an interesting model on Substack: pay to comment. That might weed out the spammers and trolls quite effectively and build up a community of truly interested parties that have something to contribute.

There's still too much of friction in current payment systems to be dealt with (along with subscription models) vs. ad model. And I guess it's also telling of the actual worth of the news and opinions. We just consume too much ina

As the old saying goes, security is process, not a product. But since it's very hard, there is always temptation to lean on the latter, not the former.

The problem is the perverse incentive of the market currents. It doesn't matter how you do it, just make the product work before the competition does (an cheaper). If anything crops up, you'll fix it later. AI promises just that a

Mostly not a lack of will but much more local and urgent priorities than figuring out SSH and PGP, like jobs and chores for example.
