   It is the far future year 2020. The world is ruled by the Jupiter Cloud Alliance.

   Possession of a 'hard disk' is banned.

   All databases must be in-RAM only, or written to The Jupiter Cloud, a giant computing substrate based on the clouds of Jupiter.

   It takes 66 minutes for anyone on Earth to send a TCP/IP packet to Jupiter and back, and that's considered acceptable latency.

   On the upside, the storage capacity of the Jupiter Cloud is *really big*.

     @natecull Shush now, you're scaring me. With outright lunatics like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Maxine Waters, Nita Lowey, Steny Hoyer, and Nancy Pelosi having any partial grasp on power this could too easily come to pass. Lowey, Ocasio-Cortez, and Waters are the dream team of "useful idiots" for America's enemies.
