It's typical leftie nonsense. They want to ban or regulate or tax everything. They don't want to solve problems like the chronic lack of housing. Or lower healthcare costs by expanding the supply of doctors. And they ignore science when it suits them too. E-cigarettes are less harmful that regular ones. Even more off - they are pro cannabis. And smoking cannabis does cause cancer. So who knows what they actually believe.
Lefty nonsense? More like prohibitionist nonsense. Which I understand to be a "conservative" trait, if anything.
Cryptocurrencies are like tulips! Cryptocurrencies are like lottery tickets!.....wow, I'm on a roll here!......Cryptocurrencies are like washing machines! Cryptocurrencies are like terrorists!
This is how governments should investigate crimes, by working things out for themselves instead of insisting on back doors, or if the can't do that, as is the case of world-wide open source projects, trying to legislate against it.
If they are closing off the source code then they are sending a message to the Universe that they are living in scarcity and the Universe will look upon them, smile, and say "So bit it!".
Don't even ask what what Richard Stallman would say!
"Where is Chorome OS' equivalent of Microsoft office? "
A huge, bloated, monster of an application that has entered it's dying-star phase of feature-supernova.
The only reason I ever use it over the lighter, faster, easier-to-use Google Docs or Libreoffice is because other people seem hopelessly addicted to it and its the only way to ensure stuff I produce will render correctly when they see it.
Have a nice long look at a bear's teeth. That's what an omnivore's teeth are supposed to look like. Also try killing any of the animals you eat with your bear hands and then trying to eat them with no tools.
'Pirates, he said, "offer a kind of programming that their audiences depend on. Spiritual sustenance, news, immigration information, music created at home or in the new home, here."'
Wow! I would be delighted if pirate stations did that in London. Here they all seem to play the same sort of music and shout all over it.
The amount of information is one thing. The threat represented by the organisation holding it is another. In which case the government represents the greatest concern since they are most likely to use it against us.
A study done by a universal consciousness that looks at itself though the eyes of every being in the universe conducted a study on itself and found that LSD removes all sense of self and other. This study was peer reviewed by a universal consciousness that looks at itself though the eyes of every being in the universe....
IOTA is pre-mined. There is no mining to be done. That's why there are no fees for transactions. By design it doesn't need to create an incentive for people to burn high CPU loads on it. That wouldn't fly with low-powered IOT devices. The incentive for taking part is that IOT devices can collect miropayments for the data services they provide.
Just wondering how they will insist on a backdoor in any open source project that uses encryption. Especially if it is hosted in another country.
I can see a great opportunity for open source alternative firmware downloads.
It's a unique pyramid scheme. Once you figure it out, you can cash out and sell your spot in the pyramid. Just don't be the one holding the hot potato at the end.

Why?
To install WSL on it of course!
They appear to be overreacting. A measles outbreak does not warrant such a hysterical response.

If the value of Bitcoin is a measure of how much life it has then it must have been really, really dead in 2011 when its value was $0.04.

I believe Max Romeo has a candidate he would like to volunteer.

Here is one candidate I would like to nominate for this scheme : https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/...

Can't we just demonize and vilify puritans and get them banned?
Just in case anyone thought that a bug-free world would be a wonderful thing.
A few years ago Wikipedia saved me from believing all these monstrous conspiracy theories about Jimmy Saville being some prolific peodo or something.
I'm sure it will do an excellent job in protecting the fragile masses from any other conspiracy theory today.

It's crashed loads of times but the underlying trend, underneath all the booms and crashes, still appears so far to be exponential.

Its not fair! Only mainstream media is allowed to manipulate opinion domestically.
Is the US government did this they would be on their own. They aren't that influential any more. In fact they are broke to the tune of > $15Tn.

A bit like our existing banking systems then.
Oh well. Keep waiting then.
