The government already orders back doors, so they are worthless. If Open Source encounters effective cryptology. They can also be shut down. Only anonymous development can circumvent this problem.
I always considered mathematics to be a way of expressing physical law. Not really a force per se, more of a language to make it understandable and quantifiable.
Yes, every social interaction clearly is a biological/chemical/physical function. There is nothing higher than the laws of nature. Man is not supernatural. Brain chemistry determines how he feels, what he thinks, and what he does.
Better to treat the president and congress like the mailman then. I don't give a damn. When a federal worker sees you people constantly reelect carpetbaggers who give themselves a raise automatically and lifetime perks, damn right the workers should cut themselves a piece of that pie. I stand right there with 'em. Ain't cuttin' no slack, Jack.
It doesn't say anything about who is prohibited from selling one to you either, yet we have all sorts of laws covering that. If the government can prohibit, it can also mandate, as it frequently does, with little complaint. As long as online payment firms don't collude, they can do what they want. We need at least one that serves all our needs without objection, like a 'dumb pipe'.
Right now, on the top of Mount Everest, time is passing just a little bit faster than it is in Death Valley. That's because speed at which time passes depends on the strength of gravity. Einstein himself discovered this dependence as part of his theory of relativity, and it is a very real effect.
And here I was thinking that because of the earth's rotation, The top of Mount Everest is moving through space just a little bit faster than a point in Death Valley, and that's what would "slow down" time. Now if the earth has "lumpy" gravity, would moving the clock to a different spot on the floor would also change the rate of time? Great way to map the gravity then, isn't it?
Every single thing we do is determined by biology, which is determined by chemistry, which is determined by physics... after that, turtles... or the Loch Ness Monster
People vote for REPRESENTATIVES to do the the law making and governing for them. Then, people and corporations with money BUY THOSE REPRESENTATIVES. Regardless for whom the people voted.
But see, you left out the most important part, where the people REELECT the BOUGHT REPRESENTATIVES over and over, giving them lifetime careers, because they decided it was too inconvenient to go out and find somebody else. Then they cry about lack of choice. I can hardly sympathize with that train of thought. They reward the system for being exactly as it is.

Just give me a card that plugs into the USB port and that I can charge up at the 7-11 with cash...
If public service workers received all the same perks as a congressman or president, they wouldn't need a union.
Heh, cool, he was at his best as a "liberal democrat"..
To keep the brain sharp, give it rich nutrients, some water, and most importantly, lots of light.
Yet you show none of his talent...
We have Google...
So your solution is to force everyone to work at the same time.
Yes, everyone should have to work 24 hours a day. Food and rest are for sissies.
But noon is still at 12, and the thing is *dead on balls accurate*.

There is where Bitcion is supposed to come in, no? As circumvention of this and the banks? Can we say miserable failure?
When is this going to stop and when are we going to get rid of these idiots?
Today! I hope... It's your big chance, don't blow it...
Great way to map the gravity then, isn't it?
Oh shit! just read further down the article, never mind...

Are space and time really separate?
A man with an atomic watch better not keep it in his pocket.
Like, how do you even reach this point of reasoning.
No, that part's cool. It's just like any other S&M fantasy. The sad part is when millions of people take it seriously and start to believe and follow.

Yes, it does...
Are you one?

What disgrace? Can't we just mine the landfills? Might find some hotdogs and Twinkies too... So there you go. You don't even have to take a lunch.
Could somebody extract a couple of parentheses for these guys?
If they want my vote they need to earn it.
You mean,I can't buy it with a 3D printed deed to this marvelous piece of art that spans the Hudson River? Damn! Guess I'm out...
