As any self respecting communist will tell you, the ONLY reason it has worked out badly was because those in charge werent dedicated enough to real communism.
It does not matter who did this. This rightfully undermines confidence in bitcoin; if anyone--government or otherwise-- can cause a string of massive thefts through bitcoin exchanges, you would be silly to trust your money there.
'clean' funds for covert operations.
Bull. "Discrediting bitcoin" also tanks the value hard.
People demanding the government distribute resources is the PROBLEM, not the solution. We tried communism about 10 times in the last 100 years, it does not work. Markets remain the most efficient and on-target way to "distribute resources".
Im also not sure what you think "corruption" means if youre placing the US, China, and India all in the same category.
Whether they have a place on the modern battlefield is equal to the question of whether infantry has a place on the modern battlefield.
No, its not.
Infantry are mobile, versatile, able to perform precision strikes, able to adapt to many situations.
Rocket belts are heavy, unwieldy, unreliable, expensive, noisy, and incredibly niche. Im sure there are circumstances where it happens to be the right tool for the job, Im just not sure what that might be or why youd want to weigh all of your infantry down with it for that one circumstance.
Alernatively, imagine how many more soldiers you could pay for and equip instead of issuing these jetpacks to all of them. You essentially have a choice between more soliders with more versatile gear and better mobility, or rocket soldiers who get one 20 second instance of unstable flight before needing to refuel-- not to mention the tax on their mobility all the rest of the time.
Yea, Ill take more soldiers, thanks. If you need air support, thats what the air force is for.
"All but the cheapest hardware" means youre plunking down $500+ for a midrange switch in your car that runs its own operating system, handles VLANing, and does sticky MAC-- all to run the internals in your car.
The more complicated you make something, the more likely it is to break. That idea would make Rube Goldberg proud.
Im not familiar with CAN bus, but ethernet has a lot of behaviors that are necessitated by its dynamic nature. For instance, devices ask "who has ethernet address ABC" as a broadcast, and whoever responds "I DO" is recorded by the endpoint and the switch for routing.
That works great when your configuration changes a lot and you need someone to be able to plug a laptop into the network and communicate with the router without knowing its MAC ahead of time. It works really poorly when someone misbehaving on the network can cause your car to malfunction and / or crash.
Its hilarious to me that this discussion is divided between people who think its not possible to attend school without massive debt, and those who have done it.
In many states you can attend a local state school for roughly the amount of money you can make working weekends as a waiter.
My degree cost $30k, and by all rights i spent far too much, and paid it back in 2 years. Im returning for a better degree, and its ~$100 per credit/hr. Top end schools in my state are $400 / credit/hr-- that includes UVa.
Or you could-- and this is a really novel idea-- go in-state, to those colleges your parents taxes have been paying for for so many decades.
But thats not in vogue: going to a school that costs double (or more!) just to get away from the parents is totally a good financial decision. Bonus points if your $25k / semester school gets you a useless degree that has zero job profits.
Ethernet seems like the wrong system to be using for anything where the configuration is fairly static and reliability is at a premium. You really want your steering wheel traffic hitting the windshield wipers because their NIC blew up and started claiming every MAC address as their own?
You can fix this stuff on enterprise networks with really expensive switches with L2 authentication / sticky MACs, STP, etc-- but that seems like the definition of "overengineered".
Layer 7 is application layer, which is indeed where QoS sits (it deals with the source of the data). Ethernet, as in 802.3 is indeed layer 2, but wikipedia confirms: its more than just that. It includes the physical layer too.
Oh the horror of living as an adult who is capable of making decisions which impact only him.
Next they should pass a law only allowing buying things on credit terms when the first 24 months are no interest and the interest rate is under 2% thereafter; and perhaps we can ban the consumption of buttered popcorn.
If you want the government to make all of your decisions for you, you could move to North Korea or Cuba. Otherwise kindly mind your own business.

In all fairness, I prefer dumb libertarian ideas to dumb liberal ones.
At least with the dumb libertarian ones the only folks who get screwed are those dumb enough to hop on the wagon.
What does bitcoin have?
Silk road.
Ask any communist how that worked out for them.

AFAIK power density hasnt really changed that much. You have a pretty fundamental limit on how long flight lasts given a fuel density and a payload.
transmission stations
Also known as "death rays". Dont let China see you pointing it at you or you may see your solar panels destroyed.
Youre still carrying a massive extra load just for that one time you happen to need jumpjets.
We have a lot of other ways of accomplishing the things a jumpjet does without all of the ridiculous complexity and logistics it requires.

It happens to be my favorite movie; i was remarking on the fact that the sound it made was not a "ping".

It doesnt, if you go instate. An undergrad at UVA would set you back around $50k.
It's not like you are getting a super special top notch education
Tell that to all the international students I see in DC.
It was more of a "BONG", really...
Irrelevant on a private network.

'Games advertised as "free" should not mislead consumers about the true costs involved.'
My gosh, someone should warn people! When you buy things, it costs money!
Maybe we should have them issue a warning that "buy one, get one free" isnt actually free: buying one costs you money. How sneaky!
Yes but it is so easy for cops to trump up bullshit charges that hare harder to prove.
Good thing you dont have to prove your innocence, then. Seems like theyre just making their job harder on themselves.
Lawyers are paid specifically to "not forget" that kind of stuff, as it would completely destroy any case the cops might bring.
Improper search / violation of rights is a really quick way to get the case thrown out-- if not in the first trial, most certainly in the appeal.
