Kid Twist

 The canary could sing.  But he could not fly.

— Eric Hughes, “Kid Gloves or Megaphones,” 1996

Three years after writing A Cypherpunk’s Manifesto, Eric Hughes revisited that same “Cyperpunks write code” focus. In a message to the Cypherpunks mailing list, he reminded the community that privacy cannot survive in code alone. Privacy needs public understanding and social tolerance. This message reads almost like a Cypherpunk Manifesto update or bug fix.  Perhaps an intimation of DEATH OF CYPHERPUNKS.

And his own cravens grave dated 2001. Now I hear the kid is transitioning so I must not fling too much dung.  Please respect her delicate privacy now she is known as Cathy Young.
