So, there are absolutely no "Killer Features" then? That was my primary question, which you refused to answer. That's what I suspected. Edit: Quote from your post-- "However, recently, I finally heard the first solution

Yep. Unix and Linux are broken. So instead, I should load up Urbit, locate on a planet, spin up a garglemitz on the spitzenspeil with the hoon japing over the nock. If you add Xenu, Body Thetans, e-meters, I think you might be on to somethi

Please identify one concrete computing action that I cannot do with Linux/Windows/Mac that Urbit enables. In other words, what is Urbit's "Killer Feature"? Cause I'm not seeing one. And a runner up question: Is

Yes, we should make people suffer, cause "Moral Panic" reasons. I really hope you have to go through the tremendously painful surgery, and get those "3 pills".

No, it's because the rest of us trying to monetize content would be drowned out by the advertisers and scammers and such. Yeah, we'd make our fistful of dollar bills, and simultaneously owing 5 to 10x that. At least for the most p

Indeed. I work at a public institution. Our department is paid by many other institutions around the country (networks). Our code is scary and terrifying. It's 95% perl5. We run bare metal on nearly everything. We have only the barest

When I was much younger and more naive about how the US and capitalism works, I thought that it would be a splendid idea to be able to make money on my thoughts, experiments, and doings. And I thought that it too would be a great idea to be

Long and short of it, it's a form of bidirectional links (so if you update one side, the other side automatically updates). This prevents link-rot. The second is putting a payment processor on EVERY query. You want Internet for the Ric

Since its biometric, ill assume that it too like your fingerprint, is coersable. Still the only safe way is a PIN.

That's one thing the org I work for does right. We do have monthly tests, scans, and network BGP issues. And our governmental side has a different set of scans, which also include system security scans. Whomever the oncall is, ends up

I've been wronged as well when poor. You can't be made whole through the legal system if you don't have money.

I didn't thank you for your response. I looked further in, and was mistaken - I thought that it allowed a bit more as in TCP and UDP. I was wrong. So yes, it looks like some sort of further in-depth hackery would be required, or planti

Are you sure you want more laws? I don't. We already have laws on the books for vandalization and sabotage. We also have that horrific law that criminalizes EULAs and "Authorized Access". Why aren't they being used again

Well, then perhaps it's time to start talk of selling vulnerabilities on the Dark Web to compensate for our time? It may be brutish, bad, evil, or whatever. Id report willingly for open source or software Ive bought for bug reports or

Well, indeed. But Im thinking that it could be done with a webapp and Websockets. In other words, get sent to a domain that initiates the knock sequence. Other machine in waiting responds, and NAT traversal takes over, to any machines insid

Whereas law enforcement also sees that, say I use a blank shotgun shell to make a retort to scare someone. And then that causes them to die of a heart attack due to a weak heart. I am to blame for manslaughter. That's because it doesn&

In a way, I am through my work. However it is primarily from doing tickets of people complaining about $feature or $bug or $access_rights. It certainly feels soul-sucking doing it. And most certainly does not feel like positive contributi

Not only that, but with "GPA" provides a running historical average that serves as a sign that: "No matter how good the student is now, they sucked at one time and they can never escape this eventuality". Imagine a game

The longer I go in computing, the more I see that Stallman was, and is right. Last month, I joined the FSF. I find that great parts of my livelihood are thanks in part to his efforts in computing, law, and rights.

I believe they were trying to make a point that it doesn't take a whole government, or a class of people to be wronged to change things in court. It takes a single person whom was wronged. That's it.

I never said it was a good thing. Even though the badness of the situation, I'm saying it would have been terribly worse with mass leaks of the DB this came from. It's not like we in the tech community have seen leaks like that...
