Corporations are a creation of the state. You are free to do business as an individual or sole proprietor. But if you ask for a license to hide behind an artificial entity, the jurisdiction granting that license gets to set down some rules.
Brother-in-law lives and works in the city. So he bought a sedan. Sorry state of city streets has messed up his car's suspension several times in the past decade. He keeps looking at my 40 year old Landcruiser (no mechanical problems), thinking about what he should by next.
This is a good example. But if I sat down and automated a bunch of my work processes, I sure as hell wouldn't want those scripts to be attached to my work product. Which will go to various building departments and permitting agencies. And possibly be 'reviewed' by my competitors so they could use them for their own benefit. Attaching scripts, macros, etc. to documents that get distributed is Just Plain Nuts. I want my scripts to stay in my own local library.
Likewise, I'd be suspect of any incoming drawings with scripts attached. Because an application stupid enough to attach other peoples' stuff coming in would likely do that with my stuff going out.
Nope. It's the design. We want you to sit down, eat your damned food and get out. So we can turn that table over a few more times per night. The hell with you people who just sit there and engage in long conversations.
Doesn't this run contrary to one of the benefits of a blockchain? That being it's distributed, decentralized nature. The ledger isn't maintained by one entity that can fiddle with it. Or be arm-twisted by authorities to back out transactions that they don't like.
I remember when cable TV systems were essentially community antennas. Because reception was crap in hilly areas and local TV broadcasts couldn't be seen in a large part of their market. So the cable systems provided value to the broadcasters (more viewers). And did so without asking for compensation from the local stations and networks.
One approach to breaking up the cable companies would be to offer free re-transmission rights to cooperatively owned cable systems. In effect, going back to the community antenna system.
I hate it when that happens. Imagine having your wife and kids stuffed into economy class and then getting stuck sitting next to this for an entire flight.

Yes. They are all in Starbucks, charging their phones and taking naps.

All of which are tied to an identity
Prepaid debit cards. No ID required.
On the other hand, my insurance company OBD dongle and my RFID toll pass can't keep their yaps shut.

They said Nike and Boeing. Not Nike and SpaceX.
Boeing would be about getting your tennis shoes stuck under the airline seat in front of you.

So you're saying that we can choose to ignore misinformation based upon our own free will?
Where can I get the swimsuit calendar?
in the attic if necessary due to regulations
Yeah. I'm waiting for my HOA to try and enforce their antenna rules. Me and the FCC will tell them to go suck an egg.
This.

You'll know you've reached the older demographic when they have to whack the monitor whenever the vertical hold goes wonky.
When can I pay my taxes in Yapese Rai?

I think I sat next to your kid.
