b'Sometimes the urge to layer in-jokes into a podcast title is impossible to resist. . . and then 24hrs later you change it. \\n\\nThe effort to understand the significance of type based and functional programming languages led me to the Urbit project. This attempt to re-design the internet is one of a number of technologies that have evolved alongside blockchain and address some of the same problems. The Urbit developer\'s focus on mechanical perfection is a sensibility worth observing.\\n\\nThe first title was in reference to Mike Goldin\'s tweet about deterministic finite automata:\\nhttps://twitter.com/voidsnax/status/712044031090540545\\n\\nThis from the Urbit website:\\n"We believe controlling your own data, code and identity is the definition of digital freedom. We believe everyone needs digital freedom, not just a few hackers. We believe the only tool needed to solve this problem is a general-purpose server made for human beings.\\nYour urbit is your cryptographic identity, personal archive, application platform, and device hub. It\'s as easy to manage as an iPhone."\\n\\nContent: Galen Wolfe-Pauly, Curtis Yarvin, Arthur Falls\\n\\nSubscribe on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-ether-review/id899090462?mt=2'
