gollark: The trouble, although in general I think this is good, is that you can't really have some code run without it being possible for people to inspect it in some way.

gollark: It could be trivially decrypted with the public key which ships with all potatOS builds, which is basically the point.

gollark: Actual "cryptographic obfuscation" would be, I don't know, encrypting stuff with the potatOS signing key™?

gollark: It's MILDLY obfuscated.

Scott had agreed to act as mortgagor for the growing Tyne Publishing Company, but it soon became apparent that Tyne's programme of expansion was too ambitious - the company was hopelessly overcommitted. Scott appointed David Gordon, a dynamic Scotsman, as manager, and the Walter Scott Publishing House was born. Gordon began to improve the list by adding series: the Canterbury Poets Series, the Camelot Classics Series, the Great Writers Series, and the Contemporary Science Series. The company later published Tolstoy and Ibsen translations, as well as works by Bernard Shaw, Robert Blatchford and George Moore. The Walter Scott Publishing Company: A Bibliography lists the total output of the firm, from its founding until its liquidation in 1931."
