> reputation of others
This sounds like slander or libel. It also seems that is what is being done to Molyneux, not by him.
> protection of national security or of public order (order public)
This sounds like making threats. Is Molyneux making threats against people or calling for actual violence?
> of public health or morals
Blasphemy or obscenity laws? I thought that we were past these things in the west.
> The real world is messy and rights can't be absolute because each could encroach on others.
Is Molyneux infringing on the rights of other or are others trying to infringe the rights of Molyneux?

Can you point me to where he is trying to step on the free speech of others? That seems like what you are doing. By saying his ideas are hate, you are trying to stop him from saying them.

Just because Mailchimp can, doesn't mean they should.

Free speech is a principle. The first amendment states that the US government shall not violate this principle. The principle and the amendment are separate things.

We only have to worry about being occasional Morlock chow.

I imagine most modern users of tar are using GNU Tar or libarchive bsdtar. Are there any current tar implementations that can be directly traced to the original?

Imagine your wages stayed the same or grew but everything else kept decreasing in prices. This was the norm in the United States before the founding of the Federal Reserve.

As a workaround, can't you load the URL in Chrome and then cast the tab or load the URL in VLC and cast from that?

I think most people would be fine with them shipping them, at least on their own devices, so long it can be fully removed (not disabled) by the end user.

It tracks that I would not be the first person to think of this, but long term nuclear "waste" storage came to my mind immediately when I read the article.

A tar command appeared in Seventh Edition Unix, which was released in January, 1979. There have been numerous other implementations, many of which extended the file format. John Gilmore's pdtar public-domain implementation (circa November, 1987) was quite influential, and formed the basis of GNU tar. GNU tar was included as the standard system tar in FreeBSD beginning with FreeBSD 1.0. This is a complete re-implementation based on the libarchive(3) library. It was first released with FreeBSD 5.4 in May, 2005.
