The problem is that we have too many such formats. Html, rtf, md, and a variety of others would claim to fill that role. Each of them is workable on their on, but fail to be universal due to all the others.

This sort of thing is endemic to most parts of the world, and I doubt the rest of the world will come around in that period. The political forces that drive this will likely be as strong in fifty years, just as they were as strong fifty yea

You aren't covering losses, you're failing to tax gains that didn't materialize. If I fail to get a job, you don't tax me for the income from a job I might have had. This is true even if my reason for not getting the job

webassembly.sh is the prior art in this area. It has a package manager that will install binaries automatically. It seems like a poor terminal implementation however, since it uses prompt() for user input. If you rehost it setting the heade

If they took your fee then invested it in some reliable asset, they could theoretically continue to earn an annuity on it indefinitely, which they could use to pay ICANN's fee, any server fees, etc. A hosting company could do the same.
