I apologize that the last chapter is still incomplete. Racketeers may also be interested in the complete LACI (Logic and Computation Intertwined), which prepares one for Agda or Coq by constructing a small proof assistant (Proust) in Racket.</p><p><a href="https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~plragde/flaneries/LACI/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">cs.uwaterloo.ca/~plragde/flane</span><span class="invisible">ries/LACI/</span></a></p>

(I guess there&#39;s some kind of legal pressure for them to restrict sale of sexually explicit content, etc? Since they presumably don&#39;t just want to turn down more money. Not really sure what.) </p><p>Though in that case &quot;regulation&quot; could just as easily be a solution.</p>

<p>that said i dont believe protonmail. they&#39;re a commercial company, companies don&#39;t have trauma</p>

<p>crypto is good solely insofar as it enables things like &quot;bypassing sanctions&quot; and &quot;purchasing drugs, e.g. estradiol&quot;. it&#39;s bad for basically everything else, but we still need it for those reasons</p>
