Congratz Ethereum, sorry for doubting you. Now let bug bounties begins (:

> GPL: "Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for them if you wish)".

Yes but if I use copilot in a private codebase how sure am I that it has not copied GPL code.

MS and Github are thieves, all their code is closed source, yet they sell copyrighted code they don't own. If they told us years ago that our code will be automatically stolen by an "AI", most coders would not have created an account. The innovation here is that they have access to most of the worlds open source code and automated the stealing.

C was created to write Unix, and now here we have Hare to write Helios. Good luck on this great journey Mr Drew.

On the one hand I don't want lawyers, government and politicians to shape cyberspace. But I also like this ruling it seems to set a precedent for users to be able to opt-in to APIs (and probably javascript the obvious next step if this goes on). Client-server interactions should be transparent, this will prevent allot of privacy related issues. It also makes the web more decentralized, getting developers back into a host your own stuff mentality.

I will give it a shot :)

Q: Because consciousness is all there is.

Q2: Because you need consciousness to observe the universe as classical.

Q3: Way over my head.

I'm getting 500s also for twitter and some other sites.

As soon as one miner goes down another one will come up because it is profitable, yes maybe they can stop it in the US, but at this point the network effect and momentum is too strong, allot of money is invested in it. The FBI would have to trap over so many people and entities around the world to stop it.

I think the only way to stop bitcoin is economically, like say Satoshi appears destabilizing the market.

Bitcoin is decentralized, Diem was centralized. It is hard to shutdown decentralized networks. Hollywood still cant shutdown bitorrent/piratebay.

Will it help if ones use a strain with high CBD and low THC, like Charlotte's Web? (asking for a friend)

The stoners that the builders refused shall be the head corner stoners.

We should be careful of imposing irl laws on the net because this will only bring the problems of irl to the net. On the net one can have multiple identities, each with varying characteristics and this is a feature of the net. Reputation is for irl, the net works on merits because of limitless identies... if you mess up you can start over again.

Don't use the license if you cannot uphold it's principles.

This is absolutely disgusting, they should be ashamed to call themselves free software, they are violating the License and the principles of Free software, which is meant for the end user and not for corporations and governments. People living in oppressive regimes benefit more from free software than any other. If they can do this the License means nothing to them, they are just leeching of the work of free software developers, We should all boycott them for violating the License.

Thank you for this argument, I will put it in my cannon of responses to people who are pro spyware.

> Privacy is something that people usually only care about on a theoretical level. Practically speaking, they're often happy to not care so much at all if they get something more tangible in return.

Because not everyone is a Programmer. Most people I know have never even heard about Snowden.

Rastafarians where right:

- Don't eat meat

- Don't use plastic

- Don't use cars

- Grow your own food

- Love the earth

And yes Babylon is literally burning.

Emojis are awesome, some of things are very difficult to express in text. I like how ancient Egypt wrote in diagrams.

> Chia is basically turning wasting electricity into wasting silicium (or whatever tapes/harddrives are made from).

Does this apply to filecoin?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eMGbDJmgv0 you are welcome.

Consciousness has no state, computers are state machines.

How I envy farmers, fishermen, taxi drivers etc.

This kind of pragmatism is what leads to this kind of dystopian technologies.

Paypal is a scam. Use crypto-coins!!!

I buy a computer I own that computer there should be no strings attached.

> What I don't understand about the crypto remittances argument is how the people sending and receiving them are supposed to convert them into spendable currency.

The final goal is not to be able to convert crypto to fiat, the goal is to keep everything in crypto. Do you think all this infrastructure is being build just to convert it back to fiat, what cypherpunks want is to destroy fiat.

- Decentralized (Not controlled by a single company)

- Phone number not required

- Crypto-coins work in more countries countries then mpesa

> It's burning a massive amount of resources and that is just increasing

Do you own a car? Have you ever used plastic? How much resources are burned by banks?

> I don't have the stats but I imagine the exponential growth in Bitcoin/coin prices is mainly from people using it as a pyramid scheme/casino not simple an upticl in usage

Yea lets also ban computers because they allow cryptocurrencies.

> A transaction is still pretty trackable (we know where the mt gox money is, yeah?)

Ever heard about Zcash or Monero

> Over 60% of bitcoin mining takes place in one country on specialized hardware, not terribly decentralized anymore

Yes the tech is not perfect but tons of research (Proof of Stake etc) is happening to make it perfect.

> What we especially need to stress to regulators...

Lol. Talking like that obviously shows that cryptocurrencies are not for you. This tech has cypherpunk and crypto-anarchy roots, regulators/governments are not the intended users for this tech, even if you like it or not. If you do not view cryptocurrencies from an cypherpunk perspective you will not see their social benefits, it is an entire way of life an alternative view from the centralized shit show we have now. Yes the tech has flaws, just like how digicash, hashcash, b-money etc had flaws, this is an evolutionary process and nothing you or your government says can stop it.
