The way I see it: Governments have already lost the battle with decentralized tech stacks - the ship has sailed. They can propose and push just about any regulation. They can start whitelisting/kyc Bitcoin wallets, trace transactions and whatnot, but almost all valuable protocols for p2p transacting are open sourced and we can always run a new blockchain network under the radar. The ability to own a locally generated key pair in such a network and, under the assumption that one already owns some assets tied to that specific network, one can freely transact and interact with other parties safely - is something that can never be regulated. While I'm transacting within boundaries of such a p2p network (i.e. not exiting to fiat) I should be safe. Needless to say that I'm expecting even more of the blockchain development going in these directions to make network resistant to government's regulatory attacks.

Probably Slackware. Quite similar to OpenBSD although I did have a hard time with driver support. But if I remember correctly, installation was blazing fast and you'd get a barebone system up and running in no time.

Not related to article but.. I have a change request for HN, put some kind of marker next to links which require payment/signingIn/signingUp or whatever the fk stops you from consuming content right away.

I'm not so sure if he could easily liquidate larger block of stocks without affecting price/panic much. Maybe in long period of time by periodically selling minor amounts. Amazon is Jeff and Jeff is Amazon, I wonder what would happen and how markets would react if he disclosed even slightest hint of his exit intentions. Also fan of humans conquering space though, and would definitely love to see that happen.
