I feel that I must point out that while most criminals remain citizens, this is not necessarily the case. In fact criminals (not suspects but convicted criminals) are not even guaranteed freedom from slavery as the thirteenth amendment spec

I keep hearing these arguments and after hundreds of hours of pub talks, the absolute best idea me and my friends have come up with (it's still a bad idea) is government issued crypto certificates. The idea goes that about the same tim

This was a new thought for me, I must admit that I have sipped the "kool-aid" myself. I would like to push for a different outcome, although I'm not sure that it's really feasible. If computer skills become ubiquitous th

That is a great point, haven't considered that part of it. This is exactly the reason why I wanted to solicit opinions and critiques. Thank you for raking the time to comment. I am in the position that I will almost certainly never wie

I agree, that's basically where I drew inspiration, but I wasn't very clear as I intend this to replace all (or most) other taxes such as income, sales and property (maybe not property tax). I think it differs from a UBI in that t

I agree, I missed blender because my stand mixer has a blender attachment, pasta maker and meat grinder so I tend to lump them all together, but yes a blender is absolutely essential.

I agree, I do not like the idea of mandating a twelve step program in a legal setting. It actually makes the rooms a little more hostile, but it is accepted because maybe one of the people ordered to attend might be willing and ready to tak

Thanks for sharing, I would advise you to hang around after the meetings and just get to know people after that you should ask if any commitments are available and take any that pop up. Finding a sponsor is a personal journey, and you shoul

My name is Cliff and I'm an addict. I see a lot of misunderstanding in the article and in the comments here that I would like to address. I am very familiar with NA, AA's narcotics-focused sibling, having found sobriety for 15 yea

While it wasn't released in 2017 , I think rust has a lot of promise. Mozilla used it to vastly improve firefox. Six months ago I would have said golang, but IMO Google is subject to constantly increasing scrutiny and their business p

The best side project I had involved no coding whatsoever. When in college, I applied for and received a "peddlers license" which I used to allow me to set up a table downtown by a bus stop and sell holiday themed items at the app

Good point about the cost of the battery. The way I was thinking the battery would be rechargeable and ownership would be retained by the customer. This precludes my thought on "button-style" batteries, but I would not be against

@siegel I want to express my appreciation for your responses, simply discussing this has made me more at ease. I had time to mull this over. I even went so far as to draft a few emails and even started in on a business plan for a business w

Technically I do not believe so, in python (with which I am most familiar) it is trivial to add a handler to a logger. That handler can do anything including sending emails or http requests. A similar technique should be possible within sim
