That's not it, it's tax optimization, it's sibling with friends in a political parties. Easy to confuse them, looking almost the same, but it's in fact two separate concepts!

I would rather have protonmail without all the stuff they are adding there

I don't get elixir, maybe I'm not ruby brained enough. Too much syntax sugar for me

I heard escrow keys are supposed to solve this. Can't we deposit escrow keys to a legacy bank running cobol in mainframes and let it do its kyc/aml sanctions check and anti fraud on all transactions? That should solve it

That's a meme lizard people implanted into the conversation so you don't try hard enough.

If you perfectly evade government oversight being illegal doesn't matter much.

It's a weird idea of being physically present in the jurisdiction and not being subject to it's laws which kinda doesn't survive reality.

>But there will always be a government of some sort making the big decisions for the benefit of its ruling clique

That depends on how much resources said government can extract from the environment. Either by taking or by providing value in exchange.

One can imagine a level of technological advancement that makes violence impossible and trade unnecessary. Poof, no government.

Aviation is a good example if you want to have zero fatal mistakes. There is a way and there is a cost to do so.

The same way erlang is good example of how to run a highly available system with hot reload and observability and stuff. There is cost for that too.

Maybe not all of the projects need the same properties. I'm fine if some of the stuff is having scheduled or unscheduled maintenance. Some kind of government portal that I use once a year had my permission to be offline between 0300 and 0500 and then again after 1200.

I think opening something in the hex editor, changing necessary bytes and saving it is as general purpose as it gets. You usually don't distribute it (I remember they days when it was common however) due to law, so in practice people write code that hot-patches stuff after starting the process.

You can also just open gdb and patch the process on the fly when you need to do things.

At the end of the day there isn't much hard difference between source code and binary code. By design source code is usually easier to read and write, but it's all syntax sugar and transformations all the way down.

You can read and edit binary code just fine, it's much easier with AI too
