A smart contract is much more than "simply a computer program". It's a computer program which is intimately linked to a distributed ledger such that the output of the program directly determines who is allowed to make use of

I'm assuming your smart contract is not in Bitcoin, since current BTC transaction fees are under $0.70 per standard transaction for 90% chance of confirmation in 30 minutes or less.[0] A smart contract in BTC might involve larger trans

If you're part of a class which is demonstrably harmed in aggregate by climate change (for example, owners of coastal property), you could hire lawyers as a class to sue those responsible. Probably even on a contingency basis. Most p

Politicians are not equipped to properly assess the externality incurred in each case and see that the affected party is compensated in accordance with the degree to which they were affected. Taxes paint with a very broad brush, do nothin

The issue is prior restraint. If you sell someone a product marked in such as way as to create an expectation that it will be recyclable, taking no steps to dispel that belief, and it turns out not to be recyclable, then you've committ

No need for an actual tax, just make the recycled plastics available on the market at cost. If recycling is actually useful, and the state isn't doing something stupid like subsidizing the production of non-recyclable plastics or penal

Taxes are not the right answer. If you are impacted by a negative externality then you have legitimate standing to sue the source of the externality in civil court (individually or as a group) in accordance with how much the side effects

For data out I have some alerts set similar to yours to shut down the instance if NetworkOut becomes unusually high—over three different time scales. Since the alerts are delayed, though, I also set up traffic shaping rules in the VM to thr

Children have assisted their parents in their work as they are able from an early age for millennia. It serves to train them in useful skills they will need as adults and also to improve the family's financial prospects, which is benef

States are no more "immortal" than corporations. Plenty of states have either ceased to exist or repudiated their debts, leaving their creditors without recourse. If a state allows its debt to keep compounding, eventually it will

If you're implementing a text input widget then your widget needs to interact with the platform IME. It doesn't just receive text to append to the buffer in response to key presses. The IME may be context-sensitive and thus need a

Your example doesn't fit into either of those two categories. In order to have an invariant, `ids`, `locations`, and `metadatas` would be need to be members of a well-encapsulated type, one which has `insert` as a method. So the first

How did you read that into my comment? There certainly are human rights. The UDHR just doesn't protect them nearly as well as it should. Eliminating the limitations that articles 29 and 30 impose on the rights enumerated in the rest

It does not seem unreasonable to me to extrapolate that people who caught COVID-19 once are more likely, as a group, to be exposed to it again in the future. That would be a matter of their environment rather than their individual resistanc

It seems you're right. That didn't work the last time I tried it—which I admit was some time ago—but it does work in the latest stable version of rustc.

The odds are good that the fraction of this project's user base—developers writing GUI applications in Rust—who would be interested in Linux support is much more than 2%.

Fully open source hardware with an audited supply chain would be ideal, yes. We're not quite there yet, though some groups are working on it, and a device like the PinePhone is a big step in the right direction. There is still a risk t

Not a bad example, but some would argue that it wouldn't really make any difference if such things were not private—that it's more a matter of habit than any actual advantage. In nature you would want to know that you're alon
