They didn't. My Google drive is "not ready yet."

Consider using encfs rather than truecrypt. encfs encrypts each file individually and works much more smoothly with file storage services.

Maybe the problem is that there exists an organization which initiates the use of force to solve problems, which actually creates more problems than it solves.

Yeah, I don't mean to excuse the poor conditions, but it's not slavery if the workers are choosing to be there.

Here's my response that I posted in his comments: "I needed the State’s protection to be a full human being." Do you really need the state's protection, or do you just need protect…

Consider agorism.

I think it's the fact that there exists an organization with a monopoly on the initiation of force that is the problem. The structure of this organization matters a little less. Th…

Bitcoin may be volatile, but it has never dropped in value by 10x in a single day.

If we all regarded the existence of a monopoly on force to be illegitimate, immoral laws like this one would be less of a problem.

Assuming bitcoin does need its crypto upgraded at some point, probably what will happen is some people with a good deal of bitcoin authority, like the "official" bitcoin developers…

I believe the problem is credit cards. They shouldn't be able to suck money out of you each month. You should have to send them money each month. If you don't want the service any …

He seems to advocate voluntary socialism. I'm an anarcho-capitalist, but I have sympathy for this view. The view that we all ought to interact voluntarily, without aggression or co…

They accept bitcoins. If you want to make sure they get your money, pay with that.

It seemed like a perfectly reasonable book to me... I detected no "polemic brow beating". The point of the book is not to be a history of economic thought, but to be economics in o…

$30 was obviously a bubble. But how can this article not even mention that in March, bitcoins had only just surpassed $1, and thus they are now trading at about 3x that? To pick th…

> I'm not sure you've taken any time to think through the implications of what you've just suggested. Why would you assume that? I've put enormous thought into this and read much l…

Sure, I can tell you how I would think it would likely work, but of course people could be innovative and invent solutions that are better than what I envision. Basically, if you a…

But voters don't really have any power if all they can do is vote for representatives every two years. This is basically meaningless. They would have much more power if they could …

Anonymous isn't putting them behind bars, but by releasing names, communities can ostracize these people and keep them away from children.

I think it's a much better than a monopoly on force, which is a moral hazard that will always be abused. We'd be much better off with a free market of law enforcement and courts, l…

This is just free market law enforcement. No reason to wait some self-designated "authorities" to deliver justice. Edit: I'd appreciate it if people who downvote all my comments ex…
