Comets are 128 bits and have no parents. They can be launched by anyone. They are temporary, disposable identities. Being disposable and essentially unlimited, they will likely not be trusted by default by others on the Urbit OS network, though you shouldn't have any problem until the network grows much larger. They have long, hard-to-memorize names, like ~racmus-mollen-fallyt-linpex-watres-sibbur-modlux-rinmex.
Thank you for introducing me to smbc. I kept hitting the "RANDOM" comic button and hit this one, which is meta like the speculative one: https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/2015-01-28
I just wanted to say "Thank You!" For jonesforth. I don't know how many times i've read it. It's probably what made everything "click" for me, so "thanx"
Not a true statement. Where are you searching? I can find nothing to explain this other than the comment below about someone dying, but that doesn't explain anything either.
Have you not seen the search box at the bottom of nearly every HN page? Perhaps that question sounds a bit brusque, but in effect, whether you meant it or not, you called me a liar, and I rather take exception to that.
I think they failed to mention other sites. Here in Springfield Missouri we have an AT&T building which seems highly fortified like what is described in the article.
