If they use legal exchanges... then they legitimize BC exchanges (At least US ones).
If they sell as a personal transactions they are forced to use the BC network, hence legitimizing it as "something not illegal used to transfer BC".
Unless they sell the wallet credentials on a public auction, and somebody accepts that sort of deal. Then you have a chairs equivalent.
in any case it can be used as a precedent for making BC legal (legal as a chair vs pot). Further regulations might be applied in the future, and ultimately, no government gives a shit about anything it did in the past.
What if you say that you the glass is your GPS, has an android "driving lock" that disables its use for anything else?
Not that I defend glassholes , but enjoy finding workarounds to the law.
Yes, but the best tecnology is currently applied to CPU's, not FPGA or ASICS. So for certain sequential algorithms, the size of the pipeliene should be too big to beat a Processor real speed.
No, it doesn't.
"Evolution" are mutations that happen on the reproductive cells, or during the gestation on the embryo's reproductive organs.
The alternative would be to modify all the cells of an organism so the checksum can be implemented after evolution happens... At that point, cancer would long be a past issue.
You were always able to physically program a SIM card...
You were always able to emulate a sim card, making it 'easily reprogrammed'.
What you didn't have was the availability of cryptographic keys making those options useful.
Compare cloning sim cards with changing IMEI's on today devices, or bypassing boot loader signatures. They all implemented on hardware and really difficult to beat, I don't see why you having your SIM card cloned to extract your sim card credentials, rather than having your "embedded device" hacked, to extract it's sim card credentials.
At the end of day if your device is completely hacked, it could be used to clone your physical SIM card.
"Every time you move the decimal, the people receiving bit coins for services/goods immediately losses value for their services and goods.
If I charge half a bitcoin for a service, and that causes a split, then how may BitCoin you need to buy something doubles, effectively halving the value of the service I preformed."
That's not how it's supposed to go... BitCoin decimal shifting is meant to deal with scarcity and defaltion... Bitcoin as a currency should raise its value first, at a more or less predictable ration (not this crazy shit we have now) like other currencies but a bit faster.
Then when it starts to be not so convenient, the decimal is shifted to allow smaller transactions... no one looses anything from the shift, and it's totally different from the money devaluation we have with inflationary currencies.
Even whith 1K executions, China would have less executions per capita than US.
And that 43 are only prisioner executions, no war executions numbers (Bin Laden is the first one that comes to my mind).
I assume the "several thousands" figure includes disident executions without public trial, then that wouldn't be a fair comparission
You gave no Amnesty estimates, not even confirmed cases. That doesn't mean I'd prefer to live in China than the US.
Inflation transfers value from the people (both, poor an rich) to the government.
It has a bigger impact on poor people because they have a lot less of invenstment options to keep their money value, and banks won't lend them money to take advantage of the "help to those who owe".
Guess which segment is the one that owes more money?
Inflation hits everyone equally... That means that the proportional damage to the poor is greater.
Nethack wins in the references field.
But I think Dwarf Fortress sandbox beats it / will eventualy beat it, on gameplay... It's crazy the unexpected things that surge from that physics model.
The concept of "legitimate use of a tool" isn't inherent to the tool... A tool has a purpose: a weapon kills , a lock pick opens doors, and stream decryption software decrypts streams.
Legitimate use is subjective: Being able to access the decryption key, means the user had legal access to play the content.
Stream decryption might not only be only used to infringe copyright... It may be used to play the content with whatever combination of hardware/software that the user wants to use.
If the content is deleted after being viewed, it wouldn't be morally different from the several temporary copies made in different memory levels of the computer, and thus, should not infringe copyright...
TOS might limit how and where the content is displayed, but without signing any legal contract, a TOS infraction isn't a legal infraction. The content provider has the right to deny their stream, but not to determine what is or isn't the legitimate use of their stream.
Rights are granted by society...
If the society thinks you're a douche and don't have the right to wear glasses in a restaurant, guess what...
You might not be a douche, that's subjective, but you still don't have the right to wear glasses, so there is nothing righteous on your indignation.
It doesn't if you order by EMS, but if you get caught you need to pay your taxes + the trip and time lost at the customs office + the shipping (assuming its not free)+the risk buying online.
It's a gamble that depends on lots of thing. It's easier to pass a phone without charger.
Q1 is a self awareness test, as you are testing free will on decisions, you can only apply it to decision makers. A thermostat wouldn't have an answer to that unless it was a sentient thermostat, or some AI algorithm with a thermostat. I don't know why self awareness is important.
If Q3 is true, your thermostat isn't just a thermostat but a general decision maker, It hast to at least:
Read temperature
Answer this 4 questions
Be able to model other thermostats (not just simulate, but generate the model). (don't know why this is important).
So when you ask Q4, it has to be able to predict Q4 output truthfully, that would lead to infinite recursion... I couldn't think about the consequences of managing this sort of exception.
That's scary!
If it wasn't a person (with free will) but a throwing machine, with balanced dice on a perfect surface you could predict the result, so a dice, per se, doesn't have free will
A dice game is a more complex system, and you can't predict the result but that doesn't define free will. You still can make accurate stochastic models of the problem. Same thing with any complex system, like a society...
But what happens with an individual person as a complex system? Could you take a person in a controlled environment and predict its decisions based on controlled stimuli? If you can, then what defines free will?
Thats not true:
diffie hellman for key generation + asymmetric encryption and TRUSTED certificates for authentication should keep you safe for typical MiTM.
As long as P=NP isn't solved, and the is no bug in the encryption implementation, you should be fine. You can always use keys of length proportional to your information value.
Of course the NSA leaks revealed what everybody knew: They don't need to MiTM, they just put themselves on the other side of the communication and fuck you...
Foreign trusted servers from non NSA friendly countries should be safe (as long as you don't think that all the OS's and typical VPN implementations have NSA backdoors...)
This type of services would be a great opportunity business for Cuba if they had the proper infrastructure. I can't think of a country less dangerous and more US unfriendly than Cuba.

Damn it, you win.
What about the DVD driving lock? Can be easily tampered so it's up to the user to respect the law... why should a mobile phone be different?
What if you say that you the glass is your GPS, has an android "driving lock" that disables its use for anything else?
Not that I defend glassholes , but enjoy finding workarounds to the law.
What about the "under a free license" part?
You could define Space or time as a function of the speed of light. But you'd have to measure the speed of light really accurately.
since I have an iPhone I can't use google contacts anyways.
Never heard of card dav, did you?
