No.

> If I attempt to move out of a city, the city government is not going to arrest me, in most countries.

I was obviously referring to national governments—the original subject of this thread—and disavowing citizenship. Individual cities (usually) don't have the same power, if only because of their smaller size. However, just try opting out of city services (and taxes) while retaining all your private property, particularly land located within the city's borders. The city's influence may be less, but the principle remains the same.

Generally you are correct: service is paid for -> stop paying -> stop service. However, Github has a free tier for public repositories. Why can one not convert the repository to public then?
If you itemize deductions, and the loss is large enough, you can deduct a loss or theft.

So if you mined and then traded $100k in Bitcoin for Ethereum and then the Ethereum was stolen, you would use form 4684 to claim the loss against your taxable income.

But I haven't heard of anyone doing this yet and I can imagine it would get some scrutiny from the IRS, seeing as it would be hard to prove a loss or theft.

If anyone has ever cloned the project, Github cannot hold your code to ransom because you already have a copy of it and the whole history including commit messages. That is the beauty of git.

Github do have your issues and un-merged pull requests "to ransom", though. Make sure to back those up if they are important.
Turn the screws too tight though and the talented will leave for greener pastures. This is definitely happening in Turkey (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-42433668). This has happened in the past too, many times. You describe more the politicians that care more about their power then the general welfare of their nation. North Korea is a great example here.

China's an interesting case, as Xi Jinping is indeed turning the screws tighter as well, so far seemingly without any sort of harm. The historical record on this however suggests this is unwise. Time will tell, I guess. As I see it, at some point, censorship will end up conflicting with the type of knowledge / information needed to allow an economy to prosper.

On encryption, what "law and order" people need to recognize is that any crude tool "designed for law enforcement" will eventually be misused by criminals. Think if there was an enforced national house lock standard that includes a "police master key" that the police could use to open doors. I think most people would instinctively recognize the flaw, that in no short order a "police master key" would easily appear on the black market, making breaking-and-entering very easy (and consequently quite attractive to execute). Not sure why there are blinders on encryption, frankly the Internet needs way more security, not less.

`I think I'm the only way that sees this decision was done for commercial reasons ($)...`

Is it fair for me to expand "for commercial reasons" as:

Github is a for-profit business, and their business model is to provide a service to users and that also requires them to be able to turn that service off when customers stop paying.

`... and has nothing to do with people "maintaining control of their private repo."`

I disagree here, I think you're using a notion of "control" that is too narrow. A notion that captures the scope better would be that Github is adding value by enabling project management and collaboration. The ability to do pull requests, manage issues, etc. is all tied to forking.

That's what makes their service worth paying for, and it's also what they have to turn off if you don't want to pay.

`That's all I care about, Github working like Git, in most major ways.`

What you're saying here is reasonable enough I expect you can find providers that are pretty close to that standard, and it's a fair point that Github's business model has some sharp edges. In this case, it's a consequence of "we turn the lights off if you don't pay," and an alternative has to deal with the same bottom line.
This. It could be so simple. Have the IRS suggest what they think I owe - they can have all the metadata, and I'll happily just pay the taxes. If someone doesn't agree, they can do their own return. The current system is so inefficient and wastes a lot of people's time.
I generally include either \v or \V in my vim regex, at which point I no longer have to think about which characters are magic. I suppose this means that I agree that vim's default is annoying here, but imho vim more than makes up for that by making magic configurable.
> So the current sea level is the one that must be kept?

For now, yes. There are millions of people who will be impacted if we don't.

Think about it this way: you place a trade on December 28th or so that is valued at a few million, then make a series of disastrous trades that bring your account down to 10k in February.

You owe taxes to the feds and state of about 500,000, which you don't have anymore. That is of course carried forward as a loss for the next year, but that only results in reducing taxable income at a potentially lower bracket.
Paper trading is like playing poker without money. You’re still going to take risks you wouldn’t otherwise because there’s no pain.

It won't matter if it's a small amount. But you will simply need to show it on your tax calculations. Your 1099k will only have gross numbers. You will do the profit calculations. So the Bitcoin you sent to a friend will be deducted when you make your calculations.
After reading the article, I'm going to have to agree with the city. I would strongly encourage anyone who disagrees to read the article as well. They're not banning bitcoin mining, they're exempting commercial bitcoin miners from a cut-rate electricity deal designed to draw in industrial operations like factories.

Basically the city gives extremely cheap power to factories and other industrial enterprises in exchange for them hiring employees and generating revenue for the city. This was written overly broad, miners moved in and took advantage of it, and now the city is realizing their mistake and temporarily changing the wording of the law while they determine how to fix it long-term. Existing operations are not impacted, just new ones.

I think the disagreement here is the headline is just super shitty. They didn't ban bitcoin mining, they stopped subsidizing extremely cheap electricity for commercial bitcoin mining operations. Big difference.

My point is he shouldn't have to ask support to let him have access to something he took a fork of. Bad UX aside, a fork allows one to think of a permanent branch that is distinct from the original. This is not the case.

The transaction fees start to matter when the number of transactions goes up. Fidelity's thesis was the account growth was correlated to complete lack of transactions (except for DRIP, I guess).

> The only difference is that it isn't marked as a fork and in this respect not shown when you look at the original repo graph.

Thats the whole point. Of course you can't stop someone from pushing a repo anywhere they want. But imagine you run a website, foobar.com. You have foobar.com github org and foobar private repo. Its the canonical repo. ninja123 has a github fork of it and it relays that from the github ui. "forked from foobar/foobar.com". rockstar123 also has a "fork" but it's just code sitting out there at rockstar123/foobar.com. There is no link to the canonical repo. If you fire rockstar123 the link is severed. It just allows a way to show active, approved engagement and also to keep track of approved collaborators.

What if rockstar123 gets arrested for ICO fraud. Do you want others to see he has an official upstream link to your repo even after you have severed the relationship?

Nice looking website! I believe i've encountered some broken links:

- the "Upload Build Scan" button links to Readme on Github, is it intentional?

- GitLab logo (under "WORKFLOW TOOLS") links to Bitbucket/Stash docs instead of https://fossa.io/docs/integrating-tools/gitlab/

And the constantly changing window title ("Kevin says…") makes me want to close the tab. Also:

> Install the latest Github Release using curl

Nope.
:D its funny how many mistakes you can do in a single command:

- yes, I wanted to write to /etc/resolv.conf

- yes, I wanted to write "nameserver 8.8.8.8"

- overwriting the file was intentional as otherwise the old nameserver would still be first.

echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf

Too bad, I can't edit my initial post and correct the complete nonsense.
As if tax loopholes are unique to the gop. I would wager they are pretty evenly distributed between Democrat and Republican. Not to mention corporate and wealthy donors.
I like how Dropbox handles this. If your paid membership is cancelled and you are using more space than the free tier, they don't delete your files, just make them read-only. You can view or download them, but if you want to upload or update something, you have to buy premium or bring your space use within free tier limitations.
Why not allow both mechanisms? Real forks and shadow forks that will become disabled when the parent becomes disabled?

I grant you that most anarchists are not libertarians, but I fail to see how Anarcho-Capitalists are not.

We've done that, several times. We were once "liberals", then "libertarians", and it feels like we're now fracturing into subgroups that take on various labels: "ancap", "minarchist", "classical liberal", etc.
No, I do not. I assume they are NDA'd, like virtually every firm is when doing a project like this, and got permission only to reveal what they revealed in the post.
I haven't used one, but I really like the design concept that Samsung landed on with the rotating bezel. It's a bummer that Apple doesn't allow for any significant integration by 3rd party smartwatches on iOS, otherwise it'd be in the running for when my pebble dies.

On one hand, I'm still not sold on needing many "smart" features beyond fitness tracking and maybe TOTP codes. If I can't send texts or shop on Amazon from my watch I'm sure life will go on. But if you're missing out on smartwatch features, that makes the price hard to swallow compared to devices like the Amazfit Bip.
> So if this mechanism makes sense to you as a way of guaranteeing that your code won't be in other people's accounts, you're mistaken too.

Come on, no one is arguing that, and I'm sure you know that.

He said it's "cleaner", not more secure. Yes anybody can re-upload his code to a random github account, but then it's easier to see it's stolen code in contrast of having a github fork of the private repository.

This is the part of the conversation when a Canadian points out that federal elections are conducted on straightforward paper ballots where you mark an X next to the person’s name. They are hand-counted with reps from all of the parties and election officials present, and it can take hours before the results are ready. No machines and no reason to screw up a process that every one understands.

There are a lot of things in our lives that would benefit from greater efficiency, this isn’t one of them.

Overwriting tags should honestly not be possible, ever. Node / NPM did that (I think) with one of their versions too. Or was it a npm package?
>Why not create a project of a unprecedented magnitude and complexity that also creates very important results directly?

This is not an option, if we had any project candidates like this they would have already been funded. Everything that is not already done by the private sector exists as a big step in to the unkown. (The private sector is very good at allocating resources to projects that give immediate results, but it will never do anything that can't.)

I don't object to "run" but that might be a bad example because machines have been "running" for centuries and because "run" has a tremendous number of separate definitions already.

I don't actually object to the "Flight Recorder" either, I just find it to be a weird name that I probably wouldn't have picked, hence my comment on it.
What I don't understand about this is that even if it is mathematically and technologically perfect (which I assume will be really hard) how can non-technical people understand something so complex.

I am a software developer and to be honest I don't fully understand bitcoin and blockchains.

Then my next question will be how can I trust something that I don't understand.

Maybe as a counter-argument someone will say how people uses online banking without fully understanding software, internet, etc. But I think is a completely different problem with different challenges.

It sounds like a bandaid to paper over a poorly-conceived program of incentives while they work out something more permanent. They were using their power plant as a loss-leader to attract industry. Which explains why the local factory is "more allowed;" it's presumably because they expect the factory to generate more jobs and tax revenue than the bitcoin miner.
Semi-unrelated, but for those of you who use slack at work and want to know if it's monitored, any employee can see the team's "export policy." Just google it and you'll see who has access in a few simple steps.
I observe that people "fork" repositories (which is basically a cheap clone rather than a fork, bad terminology there) not for having a copy of their own to work on, but more like a glorified "like/+1/star". So even with public repos, it seems quite acceptable that Github tries to deduplicate aggressively.

Here's a quotation you might like from Andy Hertzfeld, who helped write the original MacOS (official employee title: "Software Wizard.")

"The Mac team had a complicated set of motivations, but the most unique ingredient was a strong dose of artistic values. First and foremost, Steve Jobs thought of himself as an artist, and he encouraged the design team to think of ourselves that way, too. The goal was never to beat the competition, or to make a lot of money; it was to do the greatest thing possible, or even a little greater. Steve often reinforced the artistic theme; for example, he took the entire team on a field trip in the spring of 1982 to the Louis Comfort Tiffany museum, because Tiffany was an artist who learned how to mass produce his work."
