Sounds like it's based on Trident to me

To be fair, most Linux distros haven't followed the Unix philosophy for a long time.

While I don't consider myself a libertarian by any stretch, typically roads and utilities are two of the things that have pretty easy counter-arguments - make utilities free market (or something of the sort) and roads can be paid via tolls.

If you want something that doesn't have a good counter-argument, look at policing and contract enforcement (basically, a public legal system). That's something that can't be done very well by a private entity or multiple competing private entities.

Another problem without much of a counter-argument is looking at e.g. utilities and roads together (i.e. a monopolistic infrastructure with a non-monopolistic infrastructure). Roads are monopolistic because they control that land - in order to use it, you have to pay the owner what they want. This isn't too big of a problem because if you feel one route costs too much, you can simply take another route. Utilities on the other hand, can be provided by anyone, as long as they run the pipes, lines, etc. out to you. In itself, if you feel one utility costs too much, you can pick another utility. The problem comes with combining the two - typically to deliver the utility to you, they would also have to pay the road owner to run the lines along and/or make some agreement. So what happens when an exclusivity agreement comes into play?

Well, unless you don't want the utility at all, you have no choice but to either pay whatever fee they want you to, or move. When you move, it's possible an exclusivity agreement exists there too. One could argue that it's not any better the way it currently is (Comcast, etc.) however you couldn't make it better by making everything privately-owned without regulation, and you could make it better by going further towards the public side.

Something like that would probably be better off with Aho-Corasick, with is similar to a trie but ends up with more compact FSMs

This hasn't been updated in two years and doesn't support the latest Elm version (0.17), sadly.

You can make it enforce rules strictly over everything, rather than selectively enforce it on specific applications.

What would be really nice is if there were a system like how debian, ubuntu, etc. does it, and allow for official (and unofficial) mirrors

The idea is that we'll verify things as a community; not necessarily that we each have to individually audit things

This looks like something you'd find in a cult.

Just because it's in a browser doesn't mean it's remote access. Javascript APIs can be accessed locally.

The title of this post is the same as the Calgary Airport's IATA.

Tell that to anyone using NPM.

Yes, but the end result is the same
