TOFU would allow the ISP to MITM every connection and then serve you ads. The ISP could simply provide their own cert to you.

Not to mention the large number of ancient marketplaces that still exist (in active use) all over the world, some of which are UNESCO world heritage sites. This type of informal market likely outnumbers cathedrals, especially if you count t

Wtf is a bazaar vendor? A bazaar-style project is a project with a variety of contributors who aren’t necessarily affiliated with a central org, where decisions are made at least partially through consensus. Linux still fits this descriptio

I am hopeful that the US doesn’t attempt to force its sanctions enforcement upon “allies” as it has in other instances.

I agree with you on this. People who don’t believe this fundamentally do not believe in democracy. You may worry about citizens being sufficiently educated, you may worry about them having access to enough information to make good decisio

I wonder what this entails. Is an operating system critical? I would think so.

The person you were replying to seemed to be discussing profit in the sense of tax law, not whether or not people should be paid at all. I don’t think anyone here is saying that doctors should not be paid.

The IRS has some guidelines that they use to decide what is “reasonable” but they don’t give out whatever actual formula or process they use to determine this. It’s supposed to be based on industry averages (more or less) but in reality it’

A reasonable wage or salary isn’t usually considered “profit” in a legal sense. This is why nonprofits can still pay employees. Any money that is left over after costs (including wages/salaries) needs to be reinvested, spent on the org

In both cases the aggressors were the first to engage in atrocities, and their atrocities were much more severe than those inflicted upon them. So both seem like a unique case. Additionally, both were part of a global conflict, which is unc

I think the lesson is that you can never be sure that you will meet your military objectives—failure is always a possibility—and the blowback from that failure will be more limited if you appear to have conducted your war with adequate resp

Absolute hero, and a slap in the face to many commenters here who seem to believe that individuals can’t have a political impact through the clever application of technology. Fairly simple technology at that. A good comparison is the defloc

Neither hobby miners nor large mining companies would be expected to survive civilizational collapse. Hence the desire for a project like this one. I’m not sure how you could misinterpret my reply so completely.

I am fairly certain that large amounts of gold in transit have extremely high security, as do the major vaults. If you’re talking about theft risk, smaller gold businesses or the couriers that transport for them are probably most at risk as

Have you ever lost a domain? I haven’t despite having many domains across a number of registrars over the years. Are people just using bad registrars or what?
