The other day there was a discussion on Quora’s demise and I thought about how a lot of good ideas aren’t profitable.

My university gives everyone some storage and hosting for whatever. As long as it’s legal and tolerates the built in rate limiter, go nuts.

What if governments did that? Just a bit of free hosting and a bit of compute for anyone to do whatever with as long as it’s legal and tolerates the rate limiter. Heck this feels like a public library type thing. Give people the raw workshop space for their ideas.

I know there’s a lot of “yeah but…” issues, but I’m feeling optimistic about the idea.
