The problem with this thinking is that every shoe cost effort to make. Software takes that much effort to make once, and then it can be duplicated for free whether it's awesome or crap. It isn't the same economics.
I run a HN voting algorithm and opinion manipulation system across a few hundred accounts - only a few on any individual post. I use residential proxies to prevent correlation. The account I'm using right now to confess this to you is one that's already been burned.
Downvoting this comment is funny, because it's a burned account anyway, so not hurting me, and you want less people to know this fact about HN?
Also, it already exists. The IPv4 range is included in the IPv6 range. 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:ffff:0a00:0001 is the official IPv6 representation of 10.0.0.1.
As you can see, it doesn't actually solve anything.
It makes some APIs more convenient! You can pass this address to Linux for an IPv6 socket and it will secretly open an IPv4 connection to 10.0.0.1, so your code only has to support IPv6 sockets to support IPv6 and IPv4 connections.
It seems I've been rate limited to post every 12 hours, instead of five times per three hours. It must be either because I said interpreters don't emit native instructions, or because I said America had to buy TikTok to maintain American propaganda, or because I said you can make money gambling if your bets are the same as insiders. Or maybe I'm being punished for voting. I don't think dang will ever confirm what the reason was. Hacker News is so intransparent.
> Why would any non-insider participate in these markets? You’re just asking to get screwed.
If people who do the obvious trades (sell oil right now - it's going down) lose money, all you have to do is do the opposite (buy oil right now - it's going down) and gain money. Is it not that simple? You will profit along with the insiders when Trump blockades the strait again, although you won't have such perfect timing.
If you think about the fundamentals involved here, what you actually need is for the OS to refuse to implement any syscalls, and not share an address space.
A process is already a hermetically sealed sandbox. Running untrusted code in a process is safe. But then the kernel comes along and pokes holes in your sandbox without your permission.
On Linux you should be able to turn off the holes by using seccomp.
China is at the forefront of innovation. America is not, except for financial innovation a.k.a. the best ways to get money out of people without doing actual work.
You're absolutely right!
