Regarding the sabotage in Washington State, it doesn't make a lot of sense to attack four substations simultaneously just to steal from the cash register of a small business. If I fancied myself to be an antigovernment militia leader w

Twitter has full-text search, not just hashtags. Also, the big data storage isn't text, it's images and videos.

Yes, Elasticsearch is an option, but many (most?) instances haven't installed it, including mine. And even when it is installed, it doesn't do what I want. In addition to my own posts, I want to index the public posts of those I f

It's not about eliminating government, it's about building an alternative that some people can use voluntarily if they wish, while others who want to keep the government system are free to do that at the same time. It would be lik

Seems like perfect freedom to me, freedom for the author to control how their intellectual property is used, and freedom for everyone else to use it or not. Hard to see any harm at all, certainly not "banning capitalism".
