Thanks for the link.

Hardware seems tough in comparison to software.

Greenfield is tough - so many hours by those involved, no certainty
of outcome (similar personal experience on this one).

Libre greenfield hardware on a very tight budget?  That's almost
miraculous if you can pull it off...

Looks like PinePhone is definitely worth looking at:

NYT: Scale of China’s Wuhan Shutdown Is Believed to Be Without Precedent

2020-01-23 Thread Ryan Carboni
Keeping in mind that half a decade ago the city of Boston was shut
down to search for two bombers that mysterious slipped through
numerous warning systems, the New York Times believes that a mass
quarantine is totally ... indicative of the Chinese political system?

Our press, pro-cartel, pro-Islam, pro-virus...

on the topic of pro-Cartel:

John Schindler was right, Glenn Greenwald was a Russian asset and
Brazil's prosecution of him is no doubt motivated by some kind of quid
pro quo between Brazil and the CIA.


Theft

2020-01-23 Thread other.arkitech
It makes a lot of sense to me that tax equals theft.
However, my thoughts about tax goes on like when you buy a cup of coffee.
It is a self-choice to decide to commit to enter a shop and order one.
Once you committed the order on the counter you've entered into voluntary debt.
Now you'll run into problems if you decide to run away without pay.

Parallelism with public affairs are:
replacing "cup of coffee" with roads, education, health or whatever is 
considered public services.
Opting-in into Gov is like ordering the coffee, although Gov don't allow you to 
opt-out. Tax is theft since the moment they don't allow you to voluntarily opt 
in or out.
If you opt-in the Tax is no longer tax but paying as a consumer.

Problem is how do you opt-out without using public resources.

The libertarian approach is good. You use public resources and you voluntarily 
pay whatever you consider, including not paying at all..

2 extremes:
1.- Nobody pays
  Public services deprecate, vanish and nobody cares about. Soon people would 
start donating bits to increase the quality.
2. Everybody contributes to the pot
  Public services will adjust to the size of the pot.
  Individually you would 'vote' to make it better or worst by donating more or 
less to the pot.
  Reach an equilibrium which is self-adjusting continuously.

In my Public System project I called it Tax, but my 'Tax' must not be confused 
with the notion of theft. It is more like 1.-commit, 2.-pay.

Still finding out the right algorithm, all ideas are welcome.
