Is there any software that can do this in a very user friendly way? Ideally after entering a key when installing the software, I would never know that encryption is happening.

This is very useful for me too. Thanks for putting it together!

For me, it would also be nice to see the total price/time unit on the same table as the price/gb.

I think the question is legitimate. Why are sane people okay with having their property rights violated by taxation but not by confiscation?

This is a pretty interesting point that i haven't though much about before.

I suppose one problem with confiscation vs. taxation involves incentives. Taxation incentivizes governments to create healthy economies to increase revenue whereas confiscation incentivizes police forces to violate property rights arbitrarily.

Another problem at present is there is much less oversight of confiscation than of taxation and maybe confiscation is less predictable than taxation.

Where can I read more about the claim that many of the founders believed that slavery was bad from an economic perspective because slaves are not consumers? Is this supported by modern economic thought? Was this view held by southern founders?
