Doc the root fix for all of this is the “object capability model”… but it’ll take a lot more pain and time before it gets implemented in enough layers of code to be an effective solution.

Inertia is great when the costs are already sunk and it does what you want. It really sucks when you figure out there’s a design flaw after it’s all built. (I.E. SMTP and Spam)

Multiply your experience by thousands… and you start to see exactly why the Internet is no longer subject to Metcalfe’s law.

It’s sad, but true.

The quantity probably isn’t the most important factor, how fast it’s patched and how fast users update is though. Updating is always a pain.

Just as sad that our bodies must survive constant attempts at compromise by viruses, bacteria, and larger parasites and predators.

This is life.

Never underestimate the ability for human beings to subvert their own humanity. The disturbing thought is that this is a survival trait…
