-During his entire scientific career, Edsger Dijkstra broke a lance for
-the creed -- which he attributes to Tony Hoare -- that [*simplicity is
-prerequisite for
-reliability*](http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/transcriptions/EWD06xx/EWD619.html). He
-spent a lot of time and effort convincing his contemporaries in the
-computing science community that *elegance is not a dispensable
-luxury, but a matter of life and death*. Dijkstra was painfully aware
-that [*simplicity is very hard to
-achieve*](https://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/transcriptions/EWD08xx/EWD896.html)
-and grossly underrated, even to the point that the academic and
-economic reward systems work against any attempt do so: "*complexity
-sells better*". With some computer engineers living by the motto *move
-fast and break things*, Dijkstra would most definitely [not have been
-happy](http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/transcriptions/EWD12xx/EWD1213.html)
-with much of the current state of affairs of computing science. While
-he always will be considered one of the greatest computer scientists
-that ever lived, his passionate message to diligently strive for
-elegance seems to be all but erased from the collective consciousness
-of engineers and computer scientists. Are we further away today from
-computing's central challenge than we were [almost 20 years ago]

-The current TCP/IP network stack has a long development history, and
-its technical debt is leading to inefficiencies that allow hackers to
-infiltrate networks with childish ease. In order to get to a
-trustworthy and secure communications infrastructure, the structure of
-the Internet needs to be drastically revised. The current protocols
-have so much deprecated, unused and unnecessary bits and fields, that
-trying to guard against every possible exploit is inefficient and
-virtually impossible.

-Ouroboros is a new decentralized packet transport network for POSIX
-operating systems that aims to accepts Edward Snowdens
-[challenge](https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2014/05/edward-snowdens-other-motive-for-leaking/370068/):
-to build a network infrastructure that will "*enforce a principle
-whereby the only way the powerful may enjoy privacy is when it is the
-same kind shared by the ordinary: one enforced by the laws of nature,
-rather than the policies of man*."
