An interesting history of inventing the flight recorder https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-49012771

@hal9000 @supernova the tracker is used to display "received" status to sender - checked it

@ScottMortimer tried it - still not much user friendlier that GPG :(

@supernova @hal9000 so I actually tested it and in emails sent to non-Criptext accounts they embed an IMG tracker - so still creepy I'm afraid :)

@The_ogier In reality, "diehard capitalism" Ayn Rand style is no different from diehard communism USSR style. Both are doomed to fail because reality is not black-and-white. It's definitely the flexibility of hybrid approach that works!

@The_ogier Yeah, the notion that any gov involvement in economy equals diehard socialism is purely US aberration :) Actually, public schools were proposed by the same Adam Smith whom US neocons consider "father of capitalism", and half century before Marx. And his 1st book title was "The theory of moral sentiments", with the "moral" part completely dropped from US theory of capitalism

@supernova @hal9000 ok, this makes a lot of sense then (I imagined some omnipotent trackers embedded in emails...)

@The_ogier but it is effectively capitalist if majority of the companies are private owned, operate on for-profit basis and there's no central planning; that's why I said capitalism is a spectrum, with US and Russia being perhaps the worst examples of it looking from human development point of view

@The_ogier I guess all Paris agreement signatories should create a global fund to buy out patents for clean technologies from private researchers and release them to public

@The_ogier what capitalist approach *does* prevent today indeed is transfer of clean technology from high-income countries to low-income countries; the former have invested into it heavily so they now want ROI, but it's like Salk releasing polio vaccine into the public - climate change will impact everyone, including those enjoying thei ROIs

@The_ogier not everything is explained by "reductionism to greed"; growth in lower income countries is energy-intensive but it enables basic living standards which are a prerequisite to environment protection; in high-income parts of the world net emissions of all pollutants (not only CO2) are declining and biodiversity is increasing; you can see this on the OurWorldInData graphs where pollution in China is still slowly inreasing but will soon start falling as it did in EU before
