Like most modern regulation problems, we suffer from two things. 1. We are trying to fit new concepts to old systems 2. We lack sufficient clear and agreed upon terminology and definitions. You could see this in the privacy argument for fil

This was already such a fun and interesting project, but its even cooler to watch the community give back to it in the same spirit! On the note of community, I would kick myself if I didnt link the Elixir clone it inspired. As I think its t

I'm sorry, but this comment is asinine. 1. Its fine to implement this as a web service. It makes it much more flexible to implement in multiple locations. (CLI, website, other backend) 2. Its something someone spent time making, that c
