Fermat's Library has posted a paper from 1988 about the design of the early internet. The internet was already 15 years old at that point; and I thought that Soylentils might enjoy a little historical perspective about the original goals of the Internet's design and how the Department of Defense was involved.

  Shot down

  7. The resources used in the internet architecture must be accountable**.

  ** So many Terms and conditions apply that this one became extinct. Like in:
  "The ${entity} will not be made responsible for the results of russian interference or weaponized malware against whoever we deem as "rogue states" or actions undertaken by TLA-s operating in unconstitutional ways, etc".

  Detoured (with my FTFY):

  3. The Internet architecture must permit distributed management of its resources, as long as the profits are centralized (including but not limited to: cloud, social media, tracking then selling user private data, etc.)

  5. The Internet architecture must be cost profit effective.
