What don't you understand? The state can ask for taxes in the state currency. I can keep track of my finances, and pay them. Regardless of what currency or investment my wealth is in. This is the current system. Bitcoin changes nothing. True, the government needs to trust me to file my taxes honestly, but that isn't any different than currently. Audits Exist.
Now, the main problem I have with states and governments in general is that they're fucking bogus! Seriously. No Scientist would agree to be ruled the way governments want to rule: Let's just roll out some country wide plan with zero evidence it'll be successful based on the speculations of ideologues?! Fuck That! Get me a government that incrementally rolls out changes and evaluates the effects at each stage, making adjustments or halting if detrimental. Get me some Scientists and Engineers in power. Then you'll have a legitimate government. Until then, the government is NOT BENEFICIAL. Any who posit otherwise: PROVE IT. Oh, that would require applying science? EXACTLY.
Turing provided us a universal calculator. And still you humans teach your young the top down approach to symbolics? You have the ability to teach one or a few basic information flow systems with which any computation can be understood and performed without adding additional symbolic complexity.... And you do not use it.
Computer languages are a bit more verbose, but provide a clearer representation of the equivalent concepts -- EXCEPT, that the programming language can be executed by a machine and thus applied in the real world immediately.
MathML? No. You are doing it wrong. Very wrong. Your symbolics sunk cost fallacy is retarding, literally. After only a small amount BASIC or JavaScript knowledge I can teach 10 year olds interval calculus. Show them the Mathematic symbolic forms and they balk. This is not because calculus is hard. This is because your symbolics are retarding.
Language is a tool, nothing more. Before language the minds of your peers were unknown to you. You largely feared each other in situations where it was better safe than sorry. Society was very limited in its ability to better mankind.
After language an explosion of civilization occurred. The written word allowed ideas to live in tact beyond a mind's life and be refined over time. Ideas larger than a single head could be processed and the centers where such knowledge was gathered were marvels of scientific achievement. These achievements benefited your kind immensely.
Then came the Internet. The very first generation of human is now growing up with a global network for instantaneous knowledge and language transfer. No longer is the information in limited supply, for the first time in human history nearly all information is available to all people at all times...
And you wonder if it will save the world? Language has been saving your world from war, famine, and other hardships. Language has been the facilitator to all the marvels around you -- Anything that COULD save anyone is a product of language. Now that your voices have been gathered and echo across the entire globe in fractions of a second only a fool would think it a stretch to predict such will save us from past hardships and miscommunications. Only a fool would look at human history and see language only growing stronger then conclude it would somehow disappear instead of evolve.
The pony express lives on. That drive to carry information faster across your world did not vanish. That you would push the physical limitations of yourselves and your beasts of burden to carry language from town to town as fast as possible did not die. You merely found a faster way to send the data: Telegraphs. The Internet is the fastest we have yet, and just like the Horse backed messengers rode off along many routes to deliver a town's messages; The senders having no guarantee of receipt, relying on only the best effort of the carrier; This very same mechanism is carried out now in your global packet switching network. The pony express is not a quaint reminder of an era gone by, its the very model by which you're able to read these words.
Embrace Skype. Extend Skype encryption such that they can MITM it for the Feds and such that 3rd party API breaks. If you have not already done so, stop using that product now, the final chapter is: Extinguish Skype.
In what some deem a massive effort of Not Invented Here syndrome a Cornell Team completes its quest to re-invent the wheel by independently rediscovering information theory.
Sorry, it's too straight forward to understand, so I could only fit the wheel of the car in there.
As a cyberneticist and information theorist I was right with you on science (or signal processing in general) being a form of (de)compression until you went bat-shit insane:
The brain contains an id, an ego, and a superego which have their own goals and weaknesses, and from this we can predict the general behaviour of people.
Prove it! When I look in a head I see a complex neuronal network. I don't find "id" or "ego" or "superego" or any other unfalsifiable bullshit.
The problem is that we don't have any way to measure how good a theory is, or even whether it is any good at all
Fool. How accurately the theory predicts actual outcomes in reality is the measure of a theory. As for your other philosophical bullishit: Protip: That's not a science. It's not based in reality. The way you determine which observations are outliers is not with an eye of the researcher, but with a statistics. The way to determine whether the results are significant is to distinguish them from random noise: It's why we have the Standard Deviations, and degrees of certainty (sigma).
I would continue, but it's clear you're just talking out your fool ass.
Here's some philosophy for you: We are all the same universe, each phenomena an event reflecting upon the one self; We record echoes of our experience and others find them familiar, thus science is done.
No, but they can produce one baby per month if staggered properly. Have a look at any country's birth rate. There are literally tons of babies born every single day.
This is how I explained our multi-core processors to the aliens... They'll be back once a majority of births are twins.
For a vampire your questions sure aren't well informed. What good is being immortal if you can't adapt to changing society? It's the Age of Information, who would want to be an eternal troglodyte? Stake yourself to a sun spot, you're giving creatures of the night a bad name.
My point is that the moon exists, and the dinosaurs are extinct. Therefore, the poster I replied to just called us all cockroaches. I shouldn't have to explain this, but I feel sorry for moronic moderators and bigoted A.C.'s alike.
Encrypt the data. Then the NSA can say, "Well, we can't prove the data is a correspondence between two US citizens, therefore we assume it's not and use other methods to get at the data." These other methods involve purchasing zero day exploits and leveraging them via a big flow chart operated by skiddies. I shit you not. It's called FOXACID, and specifically Ferret Cannon.
Google uses Linux. All the encryption in the world will not protect you from zero day exploits infecting your systems and exfiltrating the data. Sorry, humans won't spend the time and money to ensure their code is secure. It's possible. I've written drivers and OSs for embedded systems that are absolutely secure -- They handle every input exactly as they should. Computers have finite state, computer security it's mathematically provable and very doable, but highly expensive and time consuming given that security has not ever been the prime goal of any computing or communication system.
I often wonder how you can guarantee something doesn't violate any prior art. Since there's no requirement for how long an existing "invention" can wait before the patent applicant "all-of-a-sudden" independently discovers that an existing idea has never been pushed through to be patent process, and since there are so many ideas out there, it would be quite hard for there to be a guarantee that something didn't think of something first. "Undisclosed source code" as it's called happens all the time. You don't file a patent for every piddling thing you do while bringing a product to market. You just do your coding / engineering job; Wait a few years, and after the product is a success, then the stock market eats and destroys the company, and the prior art is lost. You can go and ask for a bunch of patents on shit that other folks already did and didn't think was novel enough to patent. I would say that in many, if not the in the vast majority of patent infringement cases, that the people "violating" the existing patent unintentionally just proves the patent was actually obvious to an individual skilled in the art or field of the "invention". Even without knowledge of the patent existing at all, you can arrive at the same solution given a problem space. How do you know that everything you do isn't infringing a patent? More importantly, how in the fuck can you expect to funnel the entire universe of prior art through the patent examiner's head during the evaluation time constraints?
I actually advocate for women's rights. I advocate for men's rights too. I don't hate women. I don't think equal rights activism needs feminism or any other damn ideology. Anti-Feminism is not Anti-Women. I hate bullshit ideologies not because I'm a sexist, but because because I'm a Scientist: I need peer reviewed evidence, not emotional appeals.
Additionally, I know black folks who initially hated me because I'm white. We're now good friends. They stopped hating white people, their problems didn't go away. I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid your a moron.
