You can print out your bitcoin onto a paper wallet, it isn't counterfeiting because the actual bitcoin is on the blockchain. But people can and do pass around paper wallets to represent value. if you have internet access you can verify the public address to see how much bitcoin is loaded in there. if your network access is patchy the paper will still hold the private key to the blockchain and thus be valuable. The real people promoting crime are the irresponsible bankers who are accepting government backed quantitative easing and inflate the amount of capital to 10x the world GDP. At least Bitcoin's rules are honest and open source for everyone to see. Big drug companies do more damage than corner drug dealers. War is a racket and big armies do more damage than street gangs. Just because your irresponsible masters haven't turned on you yet doesn't mean they won't. I mean, have you seen them lately? Do they look like kinda of smart person to you?
First they came for the AR-15s and I said nothing, because I didn't have an AR-15. Then they came for my driver's license and I said nothing, because I didn't mind self driving cars. Then they came for the crypto tech, and I said nothing because I was bad at math AND game theory. Then they came for my junie cakes and I got railed, because I couldn't fight them off, run away or hide.
do you remember phoneslapping in the 90s? it was a craze where people would slap mobile phones out of people hands. not many people did it but it got into the news. fortunately nokia had a few resilient phones on the market and the phone slapping didn't stop the technology.
the google glass was fragile and underperforming. that is what killed it. Intel has a better pair of glasses coming. if they're any good, they'll sell so fast you can't punch them all.
Cryptonomicon (1999) by Neal Stephenson had a scene where a guy was being asked to crunch data (on pain of death) to get the location of buried treasure, and so had to first make a program that obfuscated his screen output to display a bogus location and to blink out the real coordinates to his capslock light in Morse code.
"One last thing: A law has been uncovered that would allow prosecution of my father. I will not use it and I beg the state not to either."
she's been posting on her twitter to the effect that 1) she has taken no money from any of the media attention. 2) she doesn't want her daddy jailed, and 3) she just wants him to say to her that he realises that he was wrong and mean it.
personally, I don't hold out much hope for her approach. He's lost face, and he's addicted to power and respect (and, as it turns out, was addicted to opiates). He'll want to get his own back and retaliate in nasty ways. If Hillary wants to have any peace in her life, she has to jail her own father so he can't come after her ever again.
usually power oriented abusers have to hit "rock bottom" before they turn around. Sometimes that means jail in a "pound me in the ass" prison, according to Dr Bancroft.
power oriented abusers are literally drunk on power. They need it to feel normal. They would trade anything to feel normal. only they, themselves can give up the addiction to power.
having said that, I wouldn't beat him up. I'd like to see him jailed. Maybe "Bubba" teach him that violence is not the answer.
Of course, there are fields with cowboys. Larry Page and Sergey Brin stand out as men who were not awarded PhDs, and had academia laugh at their BigTable database paper.
They did it anyway.
Of course, it was handy that they were in a field where you can just buy equipment from best buy, rather than needing to get machine hours from CERN.
Well, if you're in a sealed bus probably not that much. For years after the disaster, they used to make guards stand in the rain inside the exclusion zone, keeping regular people out and letting the workers who ran the remaining operational reactors in. Now that is a sucky job.
I know that the most interesting places will be the apartment buildings and other structures where the cold war era artifacts are left untouched. I hope that they stay that way, and don't get sanitised or removed by tourists. The first tour of the area will probably be the best.

How long before this gets used as an assassination market? Probably by using Craigslist style euphamisms (like "flower donations").

How about you go and ask some serial killers how their parents taught them the delight of pain?

There was one year when the Peace prize was not awarded. Gandhi had just died, and there were "no living candidates worthy of the prize".

Also it's so that Roy Batty can chew out Leon for leaving behind his precious photos.

I'd be interested to see if they put it into a new generation of apple Xserve rack-mounted servers.
