  • Interesting idea, but in most domestic and international contexts, digital assets and capital are considered under the law as protected one way or another. Generally most countries don't want to have to rewrite entire legal systems for the new age, and have used existing laws and presidents to apply to digital counterpoints.

    Hence, businesses can get protections for intellectual property, licenses grant usage rights and protections, and also lets someone theoretically be prosecuted for piracy like theft, hacking like breaking and entering, harassment the same online and in person, or illicit goods and services all the same.

    Far from perfect with all kinds of caveats, and desperately needing work globally, but to me, better than just letting things go free while laws are passed and rights granted or denied.

  • Fun little fact; in the realm of Economics , non-fiscal measures of value used to be well considered by policy makers and executives.

    So for example man-hours, throughput, turnaround, even reinvestment and costs would be considered for project choice as demonstrations of patriotism, workforce commitment, and firm health in everything from recruitment to advertising.

    But of course dedication to shareholder value and executive compensation are the best policies.

    Right?

  • Look I'm as paranoid as the next guy about these honorable gentlemen trying something really stupid, buuuuuut they also do have absolutely massive egos to appease.

    Never discredit a solid need on their behalf to occasionally put a pair of pants on, and once again, finally, absolutely, without a doubt, fully prove their manhood.

  • Lots of great reccomendations here, highly reccomend looking into a sleep study or rework schedule like other folks are reccomending. Aside from that keeping a regimented schedule is always helpful, especially with reducing screen and bright light use near periods of rest.

    Besides physiological stuff, reducing stress helps, learning what helps you personally sleep and wake up better and integrating that into you habits can help tons. I've found being able to even spend a short few minutes to properly reflect on the day can help change my mindset makes a difference.

  • Lmao there's always something a little funny, in the greek sense of the word, about seeing the continuing unending appetite for further loosening of the chains on what are essentially political rabid dogs.

    Sure, it's always going to have been a goal for these, most honored gentlemen but a small sliver of my mind still has sone hope for rational thought from them. Too much an optimist I guess.
