Thoughts on online identity management
As I just saw someone got verified on Twitter (i.e. the little blue v mark on the avatar), I wondered what the process would be to become
verified.
My guess it's quite random and highly influenced by knowing the right people.
But if Twitter would be doing this for all its users by default, it could and probably would make Twitter a nice place again. No more
anonymous cowards harassing other people. There's been plenty of that the last few years and Twitter should act upon it if it wants to
survive and grow its user base again.
But what if we think bigger? What if the internet itself had some concept of identity. Currently, online we can claim whoever we want to
be. Think of the sily gifs around the internet about a dog chatting to a fridge.

Create a new String from a ByteBuffer with only one char[] (so no Array.copyOf()) It would be nice if we could get rid of the CharBuffer as well, but, it's a start. String has a packaged scoped constructor - which doesn't use Array.copyOf(). It can be accessed through reflection.
