On the other hand, there is a case to be made that if everyone makes "mistakes" it's because it's the first option they have, so we (as an industry) should make softwares do the correct thing by default. Users don't

In that case I can say that I'm doing my groceries with a cryptocurrency, because the transaction is encrypted between the terminal and the bank. That doesn't make any sense.

You should have a look at astroid ( https://github.com/astroidmail/astroid ). It is written by one of the ex-maintainers of sup but uses notmuch, so the workflows are mostly similar. It's not in a terminal though.

You can't really blame Netflix for not having access to the most popular content. I'm pretty sure they'd love to pay if it meant being authorized to distribute it.

As always, it depends on who your enemy is. For the ultra vast majority of people, and in the continuity of the "public place" metaphor, it's more than enough.

A few thousands people generating no pollution won't even start to scratch the issue. It needs massive follow up to have an effect.

I do agree that diesel pollutes a lot, but if they were removed workers would still need a way to go to work. I think the problem is that there are still cars on the road, which means the bus service (even dirty) should go to even more plac

The 100s of diesel buses probably emit less than the 2000s of individual cars they replace, so you should be relatively happy that they are here and even concerned there aren't more

Minor nitpick, but the L2 point is selected so it doesn't need fuel to stay there. It's like a gravity well of the earth/sun system, any object getting a little further from it will get back to it.

Bare git only stores code, not issues, tickets, wiki, and all the stuff that goes beyond source files. There are a myriad of open source solutions for this, but there is no standard format that allows easy migration and inter-linking.

So it seems that the Cryptographic Right Answers is lacking a section on "stateless tokens carrying a small payload". What should one do in this case?
