I love Fight Club but I hate that last scene. My old roommate was a data librarian for Eli Lilly. They had multiple copies of their data backed up at locations around the country, including one vault at the bottom of a old mine. Even a nuclear war would not destroy their data. I have to imagine that banks use a similar system.
There is a cool solar thermal plant just south of Vegas.

Unfortunately it's only 65MW and it's owned by a Spanish company.
Harry Reid has called Nevada the "solar Saudi Arabia". Unfortunately, building things in the middle of nowhere is expensive and getting that power onto the grid is expensive.
All of the top countries are tiny islands with like 8000 people on them. About 34% of American adults are obese and about 30% of British adults. That's "right behind" statistically speaking.
That's called the "bodybuilder problem". The vast, vast majority of people with BMIs over 30 are obese.
It's also called "bullshit", because everyone and their dog on the internet claims to run afoul of the BMI due to their extremely athletic builds. Pics or it didn't happen. Internet Claims 101.
Are you calling bullshit on me or the parent post? Bodybuilders never miss a chance to mention their body mass.
Here's an experiment for you-
This week, take note of everyone you see that appears to weigh 250 pounds or more. Keep track of how many of them have huge rippling biceps, and how many have a big gut and/or ass.
The timeline does not support your theory. By the time the feds got involved, Silk Road was already a very popular marketplace. They got access to the servers, and watched the site operate for about 4 months. That's very standard in drug ring cases. It would be stupid to arrest everyone involved the moment you know about it. The goal is to collect a mountain of evidence so that they can charge people with a bunch of crimes and make rock solid cases in court.
In order to show entrapment you have to make a judge or jury believe that if the government had not been involved, that the crime would not have occurred. There's no way this guy can make that case.
If you don't know, the UK's obesity rate is right behind the US's and increasing. Since the government provides their health insurance, it's very much in the government's interest to get their people healthier.
If you run a Nickleback fan forum, and someone posts child porn, you are not responsible for that.
If you create a web site expressly for anonymous selling, and you're well aware of people selling drugs on it, and taking a cut of those profits, then you are a conspirator to that crime.
You seem to assume that everyone in the CIA is a field agent. Most people with secret jobs don't have a cover story. It's pointless. They are allowed to tell you that they work for the CIA. They just can't tell you more than that.
The thing that concerns me is that the various car companies have never even agreed on a standard for charging stations.
They agreed on a standard years ago, and implemented it. My Nissan Leaf can plug into any public charging station. But in 7 months, I have never charged my car outside of my garage.
Tesla's Supercharger stations are a different, 90kW system.
Any data classified as Secret or higher is stored on computers that are physically separate from the public internet. So before anyone could hack into the NSA or a similar agency, they would have to bypass physical security involving many men with guns.

People's debts to the bank or the bank's debts to others? The foreign banks that are owed money by Argentina still have all of their records.

Are you talking about HSBC? It was 5 weeks of profits, not 5 hours. At least get your basic facts right.
And HSBC was *not* a conspirator to money laundering. They did not follow the oversight regulations and allowed other people to launder money.

Yeah...that's not at all what I'm talking about.

If you start with "The fascist US government is afraid of the bitcoin revolution" and work backwards from there- anything is defensible.
Wow. You're a poetic douche who doesn't know shit about modern America or ancient Rome.

Eric and Rob.
Wow. You're a huge douche.
You think I should ditch friends of 20 years because they got a job with the government?
I have friends with secret jobs. They are not allowed to have accounts on social media sites for exactly that reason.
The thing that concerns me is that the various car companies have never even agreed on a standard for charging stations.

Having a massive amount of natural resources and being close to China are the main reasons that the Australian economy has done well recently.
Any data classified as Secret or higher is stored on computers that are physically separate from the public internet. So before anyone could hack into the NSA or a similar agency, they would have to bypass physical security involving many men with guns.
In reality, they have to be convicted of a crime to lose their jobs.
Federal judges get lifetime appointments. Apparently neither you nor the people who modded your post have taken 12 grade Social Studies yet.
