- meepmorp 13y agoYes, murder is the correct solution to situations that make you mad. This cannot fail to go well for absolutely everyone.
- fallingOff 13y agoIf you trust in the feasibility of anonymous currency and anonymous internet hosting/browsing (we are close to both already via Tor and Bitcoin/blind mixes), then get ready for a world with assassination markets. It really doesn't matter what you think about it. I see a number of advantages to de facto anarchy, Hunter Moore getting offed is only one.
- taybin 13y agoYou're so cyberpunk! You think the world wouldn't react to an assassination market? You think the internet wouldn't be changed to disallow such a thing? Think again.
- fallingOff 13y agoNo, I don't think anyone will be able to stop the proliferation of anonymous networks and currencies. I think there will be negatives in that world too. The whole thing is too big for me to even reflect on. I'm not a cyberpunk.
- dinkumthinkum 13y agoCertainly not that fact that they are unstable and large institutions with real money would not back them?
- chris_wot 13y agoI should make it clear that I'm surprised, but also very glad that it has not happened!
- rodgerd 13y ago"An armed society is a polite society." Not wisdom I personally agree with, but I'm kind of surprised to see HN dissent from the ideals of one of the patron saints of American libertarianism!
- krapp 13y agoWell then libertarians should stop complaining about the militarization of our police forces, since they're clearly just fighting kindness with kindness.
- krapp 13y agoWhy? This is the kind of person who would be running them.
