You're referring to the use of the word "engineer" as a legal term of art. Others may refer to its use in the ordinary English language, which is in no wise obligated to conform to the perversities of the law.
The policies achieve exactly what they are designed to achieve. It's just that your goals differ from those of the policy makers by a fairly large margin. For example, you would probably like your children to live. They would prefer that your children die.
The OP's comments on the "social contract" refer to his desire for people with guns to take from my science projects and from the people I support, and give to his science projects, and the people he supports. Calling it "the social contract that cultivates science for the common good" is despicable propaganda. It's funny how "the common good" always involves hiring thugs to threaten other people so that you get your way.
True. Now bitcoin is the best currency. But that's not it's day job. By day it does yeoman's work as a p2p transaction protocol which preserves a transparent global general ledger.
I think any successor to bitcoin will build on top of the bitcoin network. It's the worlds largest supercomputer. You'd have to be an idiot to throw away the worlds largest supercomputer.
I like to keep my savings in the most secure storage vehicle which current technology allows. A successor to bitcoin will need to be just as secure, in order to compete. That means either it uses the bitcoin mining network, or it spends a billion dollars building a competitive network.
Layered protocols will enable smart contracts, legal custody proof, provable notary services, p2p currency exchange, and an unknowable number of new applications. This is like the advent of the LLC or double-entry accounting. It is a game changer. and first movers will grab the land.
For these particular demos he implemented a "solvemyproblem" function elsewhere. Not, however, for an infinite variety of closely related problems of similar practical import.
You see, the Tesla is not only a dangerous incindiary monster, but it is a stealthy and vindictive one. It waits until you go to bed, and if you forgot to plug it in, it gets really peeved, combines all the little laser projectors into one beam, bounces it off the driving mirrors, and spews a beam of flaming destruction out the front window, to start your house on fire!

if you banned guns in the u.s. there would be a civil war, and millions would die.
Australia death by violence may have declined, but in the U.S. it would mean civil war, and violent death would be everywhere.
Wikipedia jumped the shark a long time ago. Now it is just evil. Still useful, but very very evil.
makes me feel sad for the dude who paid over 1000 BTC for a strad recently.
The number of persons to whom that applies is vanishingly small. Of course they control the bulk of the wealth, but their number is quite small.
National Socialist seems apt. We lost WW2.
Picasso would have, if it got him a sandwich and a bottle of burgundy.

When the U.S. primary export was industrial goods, there was work available in industry.
Later we innovated in electronics, and exported electronics. EEs were in the catbird seat.
Later still, we led in software. We exported software. We worked on software.
Now, we just export $100 bills. The need to actually do work is much diminished.

I think that if your employer intercepts and decrypts your bank traffic without prior approval from your bank, they are committing a U.S. felony.
also true for the demo
pretty sure he anticipated the delivigne/rodriguez thing.
Willie Lohman, is that you?
For these particular demos he implemented a "solvemyproblem" function elsewhere. Not, however, for an infinite variety of closely related problems of similar practical import.
amen
No, he reimplemented Common Lisp with a Mathematica syntax reader.
jealous much?

Who ignited it?
Nice reputation for extreme safety you've got there, Mr. Musk. It would be a shame if something were to happen to it.
Not if the deal came with speech restrictions.
The scam goes like this: Start your Tesla on fire. Hold out for 5x the price of the car. If they decline, take it to the press and sue.
Your notion of a "real problem" is, quite frankly, a far worse problem.
