I believe they still check IDs at the gate, even for internal flights. (I am pretty sure they checked my ID the last time I did one) - It is not an passport check, just an ID check at the gate to match person to ticket (as the security in U

We don't see them trying to change anything on the chain with bitcoin - just trace people (and law enforcement has gotten pretty good at that to be fair). They seize wallets from people they arrest, like normal cash / assets, or g

Right, so you threaten all of them with jail until they hand over the keys to a US Court to continue to do the takedowns for copyright enforcement / ISIS website / scam site pretending to be Amazon / the new Silk Road /

I wouldn't - it means that I am reliant on a blockchain transaction clearing, and as the chain gets bigger, that time has potential to increase. etherium was really quick and cheap when it launched, and it is not now ...

Yeah, because I want to have to mine a token every time I update my DNS settings. -_- I get the "global, transparent, append only log" appeal, but for the reality of most people, I don't want to rely on a blockchain convergin

μPython is great - I am not complaining about it, but for someone who is tinkering with a project, it is different enough from Cpython to make things frustrating. If this was a commercial project, I would agree completely (and from a BOM co

It is - but the same applies to a lot of webpages - would people create them if they had to lovingly handcraft every html tag on a page? :)

They would, but the Pi Zero is a much better UX for people who don't deal with microprocessors on a regular basis. It has SSH, I can get in and look at logs from my desktop, wifi is standard. It all adds up - and for something like thi

The law is pretty clear, apart from what "commercial activity" is - GitHub has decided that it is accounts, but allows public repos, as they are explicitly exempted from some of the regulations.

The real risk is to their US end users - if a US company is found to have commercial dealings with a company that has commercial dealings with Iran / N. Korea etc, the US company is in breach of the regulations. So in this case, if Ban

I am not sure I could do it at all. The Linux Foundation is a US corporation, and that rules out nearly all my options for the work I personally do. (and, well working for one doesn't help it either)

I doubt it - I would suggest the rapidly escalating tensions in the Gulf, combined with a much more activist / impulsive administration has caused this.

The US trade restrictions are pretty far reaching. They block companies trading with countries and companies on entity list . It also bans US companies from dealing with companies that deal with countries and companies on the list. So let u

These sort of decisions are made at a level where they want "support". A C(I|T)O wants someone that they feel that they can shout at if something goes wrong. For you, with 20 nodes managed by yourself or a smaller team, CentOS &#x

It will be interesting to see how things change now - both SUSE and RedHat have gone from engineering leadership to business based leadership. While there was a lot inside of SUSE that could have used more business focus, the ethos of the c

I wish it worked it self out with community patches - more likely is a github mega issue, with people suggesting their forks as solutions if the original maintainer doesn't reply for 24 hours, or during the UTC+8 9am-5pm window.
