But software ofte - n feels like it should be an exception\, because it's immaterial and weigh - tless\, built from scratch out of logic. It doesn't literally rust or rot. - So idealistic software developers have consistently envisioned software s - ystems that will escape the shortcomings that frustrate users. Meanwhile\, - researchers keep discovering kinds of tradeoffs that seem to be built int - o the very structure of certain problems\; as the Rolling Stones said\, "Y - ou can't always get what you want." Inherent tradeoffs have popped up in p - olitical science\, computer science\, and even ethical philosophy\, with c - onjectures and often formal proofs that\, in various regards\, can't be we - dged into any system that will give people all that they want out of it. L - imitative theorems are now a major research theme\, and more are being fou - nd all the time. These tradeoffs seem to have very practical consequences\ - , among other things\, for privacy and anonymity software\, and for social - networks: each design may have to give up things some users value in orde - r to achieve other goals. Thinking about these limitations and what they d - o or don't mean can help inform discussions of software design\, especiall - y for communications tools whose value depends on broad adoption. And we'r - e having to get used to the idea that in some ways\, we'll never create pe - rfect software. -LOCATION:32-123 -METHOD:PUBLISH -STATUS:CONFIRMED -END:VEVENT -BEGIN:VEVENT -SUMMARY:Standardizing network freedom -DTSTART;TZID=US/Eastern:20180325T105500 -DTEND;TZID=US/Eastern:20180325T114000 -DTSTAMP:20180320T174744Z -UID:28@LP2018@libreplanet.org -ATTENDEE;CN="Christopher Lemmer Webber";CUTYPE=INDIVIDUAL;ROLE=REQ-PARTICI - PANT:invalid:nomail -CLASS:PUBLIC -DESCRIPTION:ActivityPub is a federated social network protocol used to con - nect together decentralized Web sites running software such as Mastodon\, - Kroeg\, and soon\, MediaGoblin.
