I'd started to moderate this discussion but I'll lose it to answer your question:
how else would you propose preventing someone from running up a whole ton of debt, skipping out on it, and then doing it again at another creditor?
Like they do in every (?) other country: you go to a bank, show them your bank statements for the last few years, you tax statements, your job contracts, your current house mortgages and anything else they ask, and THEY decide on what kind of loan to give you based on that info. Oh, and yes, having a state-backed ID card helps against you running away and trying somewhere else. No centralization: too much power, too much risk and nothing to gain for the customer anyway.
There's a test and abortion for it, so why should it matter ? (*) Yes, there are other types of rarer birth defects that increase with age. But there's also one thing that gets better with having kids at a later age: overall life expectancy. It selects for people who can live safely older, and selects against things like risky behaviors in teens, early genetic diseases, etc... Want to live longer ? Have kids later. Of course it might take a few thousand generations...
One metric that I find appealing is, what language requires the least amount of lines of code. Bugs are often related to lines of code, also, if you're maintaining code, the fewer lines to look at the better. But I can see how a language designed just to be terse could be difficult. (APL anyone?)
One just need to look at perl one-liner contests to know that this is way wrong.
Videos are useful when the gesture is important, and the experienced guy doing it doesn't even know what makes it important and certainly can't explain it. For instance I learned woodworking by reading but also by paying close attention to some videos so see how they really did things. It was also important for security.
(what it does is repackage the original.apk with different permissions. so you can remove the perm for wifi control from the apk - the app will still have permission for normal http connections though).
You just have to remember to do that after every update of the app though. Kind of a drag.
They should have one hidden laser ship at the ready for every NK test launch. Blow them up discreetly right off the launch pad. Then after the psychopath in chief has executed 10 rounds of engineers, they'll probably give up the project from the lack of volunteers.
I'm always amazed at the number of C programmer who don't use -Wall to get all the necessary warnings. If you check them all out, it removes a large amount of bug/vulnerabilities already.
It was a whole 6 hours between the first public release of their formally verified microkernel and someone finding the first exploitable security vulnerability.
I tried it recently at a friend's house when I noticed he had Alexa. He matter of factly followed it with "Alexa, cancel order", which led me to believe it wasn't the 1st time.
OK, I'll try to sum up what beer and yeast is. Yeast evolved over a long time by actually loosing the ability to turn alcohol into vinegar. Many microorganisms can digest sugars into alcohol and then vinegar in one fell swoop. When yeast lost that, it was actually an evolutionary advantage because alcohol is toxic, so by itself evolving to resist the toxicity of alcohol, it could kill of the competition (all the other microorganisms present in rotting fruits) and live happily. Men used that ability to make beer, wine, etc... Wild yeast dies off after something like 8% alcohol, but humans have been selecting it for 10ky so it resists 12% (and now up to 15% in some strong wines).
So, my point is that making a beer with other stuff growing in it can mean only a few things: either you kill off the yeast after its work is done and replace it with probiotics, or you make a piss weak beer that won't kill off the probiotics, or it's bullshit and the probiotic's dead from the alcohol.

...but they didn't and when the insulin pump started running a DDOS botnet, a bitcoin fab, a spam spewer and a ransomware distributor, it unfortunately also started dispensing too much insulin. Hence she's been in a coma ever since. And the popup asking for an update to the WinXP antivirus is routinely ignored as medical staff press on Cancel at every reboot. Which happens multiples times per day.
And in addition, nothing so far shows that the new devices are anymore secure than the old ones: they still run on Windows, versions of which don't receive any updates for various reasons, passwords are kept the same forever and everywhere, all ports are open so that various equipment can communicate 'easily', etc...
It depends... I read the whole series twice (or more?) and didn't like the same books each time... For instance God Emperor is quite boring for a teenager, just dialogues. Yet on second reading I found it full of fascinating philosophical insights.
Yeah, it is morons like this one who make me wish there was a kickstarter for hired killers, all through Tor and bitcoin. Get 400 people to chime in 25 bucks and the problem would solve itself nicely.
'corroborate'... While they collaborate on the experiments !
BTW, I have a question: how close would you need to be to actually *feel* this black hole collision. Would you feel something rattling your bones if you were close enough ?

No centralization? What do you call a "state-backed ID card"?
Don't be daft: they don't need your banking info for that. Only your fingerprint, and it's not public in any leaky server.
Bank A would have to contact every major lender to determine if you have big outstanding debts.
They can see that on your bank statement. It's not like it's exactly hard to do and need an external 'special processing center'...

For those who haven't heard, there's a pretty good movie about this: Travelling Salesman (2012), required viewing for math geeks.

Ha. Ha. Ha. Sad Beep...
Kind of... he kept getting me beer, to keep my mouth busy I guess...

I post this every time there's some new airplane nightmare... Remember that it is from the 70s.... Quite prophetic.

Hmmm, isn't that Fauvism ?

Funny, I could beat it very easily at kickboxing...
