I particularly like how he is apparently under the impression that HTML is a programming language, since that's the only way object orientation could be desirable or even make sense.
The easiest way is to implement the network to a private IP space (like 192.0.0.0/8 subnet) . Done that way, and the network can't be connected to the general internet. At all. Ever. And you don't need to request addresses from IANA, either.
Nobody in his right mind used floating point in COBOL. You used BCD, which fitted the needs of companies accounting in dollars and cents. If your work truly required floating point, you were most likely programming something scientific or technical, and you did it in FORTRAN. And COBOL did not originally have pointers; they were introduced in the 2002 standard, although they were implemented as a proprietary feature in IBM's VS COBOL II. Very rarely used in legacy code, especially since until the 2002 standard it wasn't standard COBOL.
That's not a possible solution. The only way to automate determining what a nontrivial program will do is to run it. You can't "parse" it to get a specification of what it does. Turing showed that in his work on the halting problem.
You do realize that Smith's point was that commons were a bad thing, because they would inevitably be overused and destroyed. Hence the phrase, "tragedy of the commons".
First rule of damage control for corporations hit by scams like this is to NEVER disclose it happened if you don't have to. If nobody finds out about it, there won't be any damage to your reputation and there won't be copycats inspired by it.
which I did on punched cards submitted to my teacher for runs. Yes, I'm ancient. My foggy recollection is that I perpetrated some of the worst code ever seen for that class; real spaghetti code, because that's what we were taught. Structured code? What's that?
Because Lord knows I want to trust my financial transactions to a start up with no proven record of performance or trustworthiness, and pay for the privilege!
The study counted hands free use as well making it quite a worthless metric for stopping accidents.
On the contrary, that makes it the correct metric. Studies have shown that "hand-free" is as as dangerous as other cell phone use. It's still completely distracting you from paying attention to the road, and thus it's still highly dangerous.

...Australia's government shows that they don't really get this whole "technology" thing...
...but this is better than a backup, how, exactly?

bwahaha. You have no idea what COBOL's data types are or why business requires them, do you?

And who writes those treaties and regulations? And how do we cope with their human nature?
And of course, all we have to do to make sure they're not used for self-interested aims to change human nature. That should be easy enough, right?
And actually, it wasn't Smith, it was William Forster Lloyd.

When it was the Russians. Worth a try.

Actually, it probably was written by the bank. Banks have IT departments, and they often write their own custom software.
it may be 2017, but I'll bet $10 that the machine denying her application is programmed in COBOL.
They aren't going to worry about this. After all, they already have an Imperial Warrant.
God, marketers are a plague. It's a cache, just call it that.

I guess we're all systems now.

"I can text you with my brain" just doesn't have the same impact, does it?
Ooh, I don't like spiders and snakes.
Or you could split the difference.
There's a quest in World of Warcraft in which an NPC has you gather spider meat as the main ingredient for his "dusky crab cakes".
