Indeed, but it sequesters the carbon in rather tight bonds that can only be freed by burning or decomp.

And I would accuse you of thinking in the narrow line of "TPM for media companies to control your hardware". There are other ways to go about this.. Think of the ORWL. It's a heavy crypto system that will delete its keys if i

In all honesty, I'm waiting for a "Trusted Computing Chip" to have a key that can be set and reset. I'd like to be able to authortatively say that a server I colo/rent is indeed mine. And given Trusted computing in

You're right. It is easy to rationalize this sort of behavior. But I think there's a few things going on, that mutate normal action/response. 1. Family. Doing this the "right way" would mean fessing up. And that mea

Yeah, it's illegal. You're hurting people. It sucks, all around. But you have to eat, your family does as well. You need a place to live (electricity, water, gas - all those things cost). It comes down to "How do your ethics

Not any more appetizing if you knew what most slaughterhouses do. Admittedly, it would be tremendously hard for me to be a vegetarian. Im a T2 diabetic. Grains, starches, and sugars are all bad for me.

Yeah, I noticed that as well. I interpreted it that stoicism forces a certain way of thinking that can lead to very bad outcomes with certain way out. Effectively a one-way path with no exits and no way to reverse course. The stoic becomes

Yep. Same with "Privacy Policies". If you have one, the FTC can come after you for violation of said privacy policy. Fines can result. If you don't have one, FTC has nothing.

There's even the Latin equalivalent of "For a good time, go here" on the Coliseum.

They could have avoided the bulk of these problems by the following: 5. License Grant to Other Users If your project doesn't have a license attached, then the rights you provide GitHub and users are as follows: You agree to allow other

Nope, I'm not. But plain language in a ToS or contract is pretty easy to go "Nope, I don't like that. I don't agree." And I'm sure they consulted their legal team regarding this. I don't think I would have

The contract states that I have to effectively grant them a BSD license for whatever I do there. Then open source licenses can stack on others' as I choose. Nah. Not worth it. If I want it as GPL3, I expect them to comply with GPL3.

The new Terms of Service of GitHub became effective today, which is quite problematic — there was a review phase, but the problems were not answered, and, while the language is somewhat changed from the draft, they became effective immediat

I deleted the projects in my userspace. I still want to maintain a user purely for ownership of presence there. But I certainly won't use it. I'll move on to things like GitLab or IPFS for transmitting projects I'm working on

Yeah. For a dinky little raspi zero board... $10 shipping. CanaKIT. Nope. 4-12 pounds shipping for PiHut. 5.50 - 8 pounds shipping for pimoroni. Aaaand you can't even get a bare Pi Zero from Adafruit. Of course they're "o

By Ethereum's own documentation, their code is the contract and the contract is the code. Yes, it sucks that they did not write tighter code and allowed a gotcha.... But when that happens in the legal world, people do pay for it. Inste

Primarily because they have engaged in the "We didn't really like the way project XYZ worked out, so we're going to re-do." Look at the DAO. It's more than enough reason to dismiss this as a libertarian capitalist&#

In all honesty, I need to try building something that does semi-distributed computation. Here's my idea to throw in the pool. First, you don't get something for nothing. So you need computers (surprise). Now, how do you share code

They hide the "Delete My Account" outside of your account, and link to it on some 'help page'. Some help. So, here's the link: https://help.uber.com/h/24010fe7-7a67-4ee5-9938-c734000b144a You h

That's the difference. You complied, and the company is road-blocking you. Frankly, denying everyone at the border is probably a good thing due to the brain-drain it causes. We're not going to get saner laws without some serious e

I was thinking something a bit more complete than just that. I was thinking of a government itself that was automated, by the people and for the people. Taxes and expenditures could be drilled down to an arbitrary fine level. Laws themselve

Not only that, but if you describe something very minutely and exacting, it will seem very difficult. But if you describe it as "A game with 2 opposing sides, with a shared oblong ball, and each team tries to get it to the other side p
