I think we all know the main issues here on HN. And what a complex
tangle of interests and compromises it really is.
Yes codification is a nightmare. I'm no lawyer, but it's clearly
a challenge that a lot of good minds need to sit down and think through.
At the end of the day, we can't keep trashing the planet for a little
bit of extra corporate profit and consumer vanity. Making durable,
repairable and reusable technology isn't rocket science. We managed it
for centuries before the insanity of late capitalism took centre stage
in the past 30 years or so.
FWIW, I did an interview with Gerry McGovern on World Wide Waste where
we talked at length about some of the issues [1]. Hopefully these
small efforts eventally get traction and visibility by those who make
decisions.
