Yet again the government tramples it's citizens freedom and desires and tells THEM how to live. Doesn't matter if this drug helps countless people across the country function in their day-to-day.
Here's hoping he stashed some cash and can make a clean getaway. 50 years is what they want to charge him with for copyright infringement, ludicrous. Rapists get a fraction of the time.
Looks great. A lot better then that lame kickstarter bait n switch. If they are going to do that kickstarter they need to demo the model they are going to sell.
Cannabis is not some terrible thing that turns people into thieves and low-lives. Plenty of the people you interact with every day (and likely have pleasant interactions with) use these substances. Perhaps some of this is location based, as I know on the west coast the general consensus is that people don't give a damn. Every single person I know has a friend or family member that smokes, often times successful and happy people, and it's not a big deal if they do or they don't. Public sentiment is changing every day and I truly believe that in the next 20-40 years cannabis prohibition will be a thing of the past just like alcohol prohibition.
One question for you - which do you think causes more health and addiction problems for people in the US ? Cannabis ? Or alcohol and prescription medications ?
As long as people can come to work and work efficiently and with a good attitude what they do on their own time is their own business. Depending on weight and tolerance, a half a bottle of vodka a day isn't that much at all to some people.
Could they just have people sign non-competes perhaps? If you want to work there, it's just part of the package. Seems like a fair trade off to me, and everything is above ground.
Seems a bit pretentious saying the domain 'can't be priced' while shutting everything down at the same time. He's gonna take his ball and put it in some closet for eternity, and it sounds like he doesn't really care if anybody else wants to play with it. Yes, this is his 'right', it's also pretty lame.
He makes some good points, but Linux is still lacking in some areas. Hardware support is a big one and If you want to watch Netflix or do any kind of serious graphic design then you'll have to go with Mac or PC. I'm in the process of building a linux box, but it's just going to be a headless server with remote desktop capabilities as well as running a few local servers for web dev. I can't give up Mac & PC just quite yet...
