@lain@arcana Well when you have no income and have to pay land tax, or your income is reduced and have to pay that. It’s abusive as hell they will just seize your home for your life circumstances.
@whitequark@feld@sun >> cite any UK regulation to me that prevents me from accepting patches from someone on the OFAC sanctions list
In the United Kingdom, the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act gives UK police the powers to force suspects to decrypt files or hand over passwords that protect encryption keys. Failure to comply is an offense in its own right, punishable on conviction by a two-year jail sentence or up to five years in cases involving national security.
@sun@feld@whitequark Yeah it’s pain in ass, working doing it is far easier than actually owning it and the requirements. Some of my ITAR stuff can never be sold. It can only be returned to vendor. Each one has its own rules and it’s on me to keep that safe. It’s my problem if I mess up and it’s not in a controlled environment. It’s in my house.
@sun@feld@whitequark Just as example one of my former clients worked at Boeing and when unapproved people came in they covered things with tarps. So like what I’m gonna tarp my house?
@feld@sun@whitequark I can show it to American citizens but taking things out of the country or showing non citizens is a problem. It’s better to just not talk about it in the concept of loose lips sink ships.
Even today they may not be itar but they are arms export control for sure.
@tinker@feld >> So I gotta ask, why did you comment and why only by way of introducing obstacles without solutions and in such a definitive negativity?
Most of the ag tech secret sauce is intellectual property. Take for instance my nutrient analyzer that is basically something that doesn’t exist. The algorithm I’ve made for managing humidity. Root oxygen control and then co2 management. That’s not to mention the pH and implications of growing to nutrient uptake. How you must balance that and what to use exactly to do it. How do you maintain a stable acid balance? Vinegar sorta works. Off the shelf pH control is generally phosphorus based so you can mess up your phosphorus balance.
72 variables that must all do a dance that I’ve automated in software with hardware. No easy task.
Not to discourage you but it’s a lot of time and energy spent in this to get there. It’s also cost me more money than anything in my life.
