I tried to make some for onemodel.org (in github, there is the file LICENSE, and CONTRIBUTING). But I did not have them reviewed by an attorney yet. But my offering is not an online service (yet); I have other thoughts stored away on that

Too bad the parent was down-voted. IANAL but I think from other reading that it is correct at least in the USA. I think if one does not read & agree, it is dishonest to say you did.

IANAL, but it seems like I have read multiple times (incl. on HN discussions, maybe by a lawyer) that such agreements are in fact enforceable in real courts, at least in the USA. I read many years ago that in the 9th circuit one provisio

I knew a pleasant fellow, a FLOSS maintainer somewhat well known at least in his niche, who provided wifi to neighbors, but they had to click through an agreement first. Only one read it. Buried in the text, experimentally, it said they h

I do the same kinds of things, but sometimes it helps warn them in a friendly way before scheduling the appointment. :) Often, I try to request the papers etc in advance, to make it easier on all of us, then I can take my time, ask questio

Yes, like we do with Creative Commons or FLOSS licenses, so you don't have any reason to read them more than once or occasionally. Whether somebody. Maybe something like the uniform commercial code, in the USA. That would be a nice con

As I noted, there will be justice. He will judge and provide eternal punishment or reward, fairly according to our knowledge, for our thoughts, words, and acts. It will be very specific and real. Mercy, and help in our lives, right now,

You raise an interesting issue, and pollution is a concern to me also. In my beliefs, part of His plan is letting us exercise our agency (or ability to choose), for our experience/learning/growth, and to find or show what it is w

Clever, but ... ouch. I am very grateful to have learned for myself by multiple means that God is real, in charge, and has a long-term plan for us that extends beyond this life, and for which this earth is an important part, that we should

I like this idea of reaching the stars as a higher goal, partly because it (to me at least) clearly implies that we must treat each other non-destructively. Learning to improve oneself, and service to others in their growth and goals, brin

I believe there will be collapses and very hard things, but we can be OK (for a long list of reasons). I've written more elsewhere (at my site). But really, if we try to learn and do what is right, with a clear conscience, we can be

I like how they made the article skimmable (summaries, topic sentences). I might be helpful to consider goals as not coming first. In my own thinking, I often/deeply use the acronum PVSGEER, for things like having Purpose, Vision, Stra

Skimming can help sometimes, but this article makes it harder. No summary at beginning/end, no topic sentences at the beginning of paragraphs. Maybe that was intended: long-form narrative to create an emotional point, exploring exper

Maybe irrelevant but FWIW, OpenBSD rewrote the "file" command from scratch to be more secure. I don't know how far that goes (like in the article "magic numbers" section discussing polyglot files, for example), but

If one defines success as true happiness that lasts, no. If you want caregivers and to be around people who like you and actually care while you are aging and then old, I would say strongly that it is better to practice treating others the

Maybe part of that with age is simply that we are learning better to distinguish what has more worth, from the passing ephemera.
