Who defines and enforces "rule of law" and "human rights"? These people are the rulers then. When some "majority" or "president" decides that "X is a basic human right", then suddenly everyo

I know how scripts work in general. I mean, it's strange that you display script outside the output. E.g. on page 7 you have two outputs and only one script. Another remark: what does mean "description message is ciphered"? Y

Paper is not clear on how their scripts work because they don't show exact scripts per output . Meanwhile, using bilateral deposits you can insure any sorts of contracts, not just currency exchange. In my scheme scripts are symmetrica

It was a sarcasm. In original there was already "programming programming".

Even with all the money being printed by Fed (>80 billion usd per month!) there is not enough money for the biggest military+police government on Earth.

How about XOR-ing output from some promising hardware generator with SHA256(SHA256("user-supplied random nonsense phrase"))? This way we ensure against both attacks (or backdoors) in hardware and bruteforcing user input. Generally

Why do you have both "RC4" and "!RC4" in the second string?

Some electrons are leaking into the ground under your apartment. You should pay at least for those.

buf[-1] is equally incorrect as buf[4294967295], so int being signed or unsigned does not make any difference to the correctness of your loop.

OP means to say that when dealing with small enough numbers, unsigned integer may overflow, while the signed one won't. With huge numbers they both overflow, but we usually don't have them.

When astronomical quantities of USD are being printed into existence (today's QE is like 80 bln dollars per month ), CPI is not a good indicator. Rich guys who get all this new money cannot buy 100x more food and toilet paper. What th

I agree. However, it's called "Transparency Report" and not "This is the best we can tell you to avoid jail" to avoid jail . Alternative would be not to publish anything. Any freedom-fighting statement (while strai

In another country you are a foreigner which means you have much more troubles with the government and less freedom than local citizens.

Imagine yourself in Dropbox's shoes. Do you personally want to go to jail for fighting for freedom against NSA, or do you prefer to move from this country to another (where some other agency will fuck you the same way)? When people f

It would be educational to highlight and comment on every sentence which is either contradicting another sentence in the same document, or suppressed by some actual law and regulations, or suppressed de-facto by actual actions of the lawmak

Apparently the fact that all other TP factories went bankrupt (or were prevented from being created by the loving government), so there is just one and it cannot produce enough of paper to satisfy demand, is not a hard proof of a total fail

So if you have not-clean-enough water in your tap, you'd wipe out shit from your hand with a paper instead of washing it off? The water then must be more dirty than whatever you got on your hand then.

When I hear about "wasted capital" I imagine some central planner in a uniform from 1950s. Or North Korea. These guys do have jobs: they are doing work for money. Even if the work is to sit on a street panhandling. Those who donat

Since you reject any absolute definition of "force" and "fraud" (me too), you must be a true anarchist. Because any sort of dictated social order implies absolute definition of morality and justice. E.g. in democracy a c

Anarchy is widespread cooperation. In absence of violent rulers, all you can do is to voluntarily cooperate and figure out rules for this cooperation also voluntarily. Any ruler makes voluntarism very constrained and thus you cannot hav

The logo looks bad in small sizes - two o's are jammed together to much comparing to the rest of the letters. If the author wants to play with "infinity" symbol, the closer distance between two letters must be visually compen

No one owes to anyone (except in their own dreams). When people talk about "richest 1% should share with 99%" for the sake of, say, insurance, the reality is different. Some other 1% (government) makes public believe that this 1
