This story has the happy ending.
To understand what may happen to the US visitor read this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/30524537-the-russians-ar...
I can confirm it's not fiction as it was written by father of my friend.
TL;DR from goodreads:
During a short business trip to California, Irishman Denis Sugrue was arrested and accused of spying for Russia. But this is no Cold War thriller - this is 2005 in Bush's America.
Facing ten years in federal prison, Sugrue must negotiate the corrupt corridors of American justice and attempt to convince FBI agents that the fact of his innocence outweighs the embarrassment of a failed prosecution.

Web Push API requires centralized service the messages are sent over what has serious privacy implications. Android Chrome makes it even worse because it does not allow changing the Push API provider (Google's proprietary GCM/FCM is used)

While NATs might have contributed to its demise, there were more fundamental reasons why CORBA failed.
For anyone interested in thorough analysis instead of opinions I recommend this really good article from 1994:

Tcl is a great language and ecosystem. It fell victim to a few independent political decisions that resulted in low popularity:
- Sun's pushing Java and killing everything else
- Stallman's distaste for anything non-GPL
EDIT: wording

True for an individual.
For life seen as a part of system/society reproduction is the key motivation (for lack of a better word). Non-reproducing activities are irrelevant temporary aberrations because societies that don't reproduce get extinct and are replaced by societies that focus on reproduction.

even experienced architects working in familiar domains have great difficulty getting boundaries right at the beginning. By building a monolith first, you can figure out what the right boundaries are
This line of thought reaches two decades ago and was expressed in a wonderful essay "Big Ball of Mud" http://www.laputan.org/mud/

This was my first thought: sandboxing is gonna be tricky for such project.
It has never been the goal of bitcoin. The original Satoshi paper rather implies the "unbank the banked" objective which is to remove corrupt middleman.
