Its a bit like the Dutch East India Company and the Crown. Time to dump their tea in the ocean.

Decimation is for when you want 90% of the skilled people to continue working for you.
This shows far less forethought than decimation.

Yeah I still use brew packages for a few things, but there's an adapter so nix can drive brew and you can still enjoy declarative control github.com/zhaofengli/n...

After less than a day it's about to become my highest ratio torrent (not that my numbers are anything to brag about).
Where can I get more about-to-be-censored content? I think this server is about to be repurposed...

How can we get media to start leaking to places that are harder to censor prior to publication? In this case there's a torrent thanks to archive.org (pastebin.com/vVhwcLGw) but we shouldn't rely on that always being the case.

Putting nix on my work Macbook was a gamechanger because it freed me from brew. I'm not sure what putting brew on Linux would do for me. Likely nothing good.

Only if we design it to follow the scarcity-only rules that gold inspired. There's a lot that we haven't yet explored.

We've been hoarding gold and gold analogues for millennia, but recently we developed the ability to write our own rules (and enforce them with math).
I don't know what the right rules are, but I'd be shocked if they ended up resembling what we did with gold.

"Distributing" brings to mind some centralized act of creation and then fungible transfer afterwards. That would have same problems as before.
But if provably contributing to the public good is what created tokens in the first place... No human can participate 1000000000 times harder than another.

If we're going through the trouble of building a society from the ashes we should probably stop accepting the pervious society's money while we're at it.

Or maybe just 18:00@NYC, probably there's a list of nearest large city codes somewhere...

Maybe. It should encourage planning based on local non-time factors (where the sun is in the sky, but also a disaster or a holiday or an uprising or an outage or a cultural naptime).
I'd suggest 18:[email protected],-73.8 (NYC Lat/Long) and the we make it easy to search for those factors after the fact.

I don't have per-capita numbers but an increase of 6% is still a lot of dead people.

Absolutely!
It would cause a rethink of many things that desperately need rethinking. Like, what if we just didn't have rush hour?

I think the position of the sun, not the numbers on the clock, should tell you when to wake up.
As for the numbers on the clock, how about UTC everywhere*? They're just numbers.

Shopping aside, all kinds of stuff breaks when AWS has an outage: the DMV website, the various educational tooling used all over, my dentist's reservation system... Not to let Amazon off the hook in any way, but the problem is billionaires.

We can and we should, but people usually have no control or awareness about how much of the money they spend ends up going to AWS. Even if Amazon retail were to collapse entirely, they have plenty of other ventures to continue supporting their bad behavior.

I think for that to work we're going to need to abandon the dollar and come up with something that is backed by something a bit more selective than scarcity.
We can't merely stop giving them money, we need to make what they have be not money.

Couldn't speak for geniuses, but it's my understanding that most actual wizards die in poorly understood explosions at the academy and its only the very lucky ones that you end up hearing about engaging in heroics and all that.

There are two sorts of people who can make that happen. Investors who later sell the users out to the highest bidder, or nerds who do it for fun. If you want the nerd version, you're going to have to get a bit nerdy.
I wish there was a third option.
