That is the ideal, it certainly isn't present in say US currency. Estimates I've heard indicate about 80% of US paper currency overseas is counterfeit. If only there were a currency that accomplished this... oh yeah, bitcoin.
And this doesn't? You can see received payments. A little bit of forensic accounting can connect the dots. What if undermining the government is exactly the point?
Bitcoin doesn't lack privacy unless you are converting it to some other currency. You at least have anonymous options like conducting business in BTC and cashing out with actual cash. This lacks any privacy at all. What is the point of privacy if you leave it vulnerable to government, the group you most need protection from?
Space belongs to everyone is false on it's face. Nothing belongs to everyone because there is no such thing as an innate right of ownership. There is just what you have and what you do and no guarantees of any constancy or consistency of either. The US can authorize the launch of a bunch of satellites, someone else might launch one without asking, someone else yet might blow them all up. Nobody has a right to do any of these things and nobody has a right to retaliate or stop them. Yet it is probable that some of those things will happen and that others would respond if some of them did happen.
The US has no right to stop me from building and launching a ship from the shore but they do have lots of people with guns who might convince me to pretend they do and follow their rules instead. Why would it be different with other governments? There is nothing magical, special, or altruistic about governments, they just tend to have big sticks and be the biggest bullies in the yard. Among governments the US has the biggest stick. Really, most issues just come down to its own internal conflicts and even bullies don't like getting black eyes from other bullies.
The same right they have to authorize the building and launching of ships from their shores.
There is only one right in this world, the right to do what nobody stops you from doing. Space doesn't belong to everyone, space belongs to whoever can assert dominance and prevent anyone else from doing anything about it. Unless you are China or Russia your chances of flapping your arms and flying to the moon are probably higher than stopping the US from doing something if it can't be convinced to stop itself.
Actually I think this is a great thing, the people who are likely most concerned are those who are trying to lock down information from those who have unsupervised access such an employer or the copyright/gaming cartels with DRM.
Not that quantity of vulnerabilities is everything but Intel and Arm are in serious relative trouble... again. How many of their performance and power advantages over the last several years have been substantially due to the of taking secure design shortcuts? AMD may be even further than the lead than we've realized.
It is a US forum that attracts international guests. If I were on a British forum and using American English and there were discrepancy I'd be the one who is incorrect just as if I were standing in London doing the same or inversely if someone from London were standing in New York.
It is always correct to use the local dialect even if people are courteous and understanding if you are from elsewhere and doing otherwise.
My Esperanto isn't so great but the official language of the forum is American English* and so it is appropriate to express valuations in dollars, billions at 10^9, etc.
* Subject to trolls, abusers, and ravages of forbidden love affairs.
How is that weird? Although it attracts an international audience this is actually a US forum so conversion to American dollar value is appropriate just as you would show a value in dollars for the valuation of a treasure found or other interesting bits.
Yes, that is what they were going for... but it totally backfired. Pirates are fun and everyone loves them. They even used connections to highlight Somalian pirates so we'd all know how bad pirates are and instead we created the FSM and talk like a pirate day.
The ship has sailed on people equating the word pirate with anything bad.
And how well did that go for your ILO and out of band management interfaces on your lab gear and out of support system in the grain silo?
I haven't dug into this protocol. I support everything is encrypted but I do have concerns about whether government and corporations, including one's own employer, can snoop the traffic.
In case you aren't joking, upnp is "Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a set of networking protocols that permits networked devices, such as personal computers, printers, Internet gateways, Wi-Fi access points and mobile devices to seamlessly discover each other's presence on the network and establish functional network services"
It is completely different from plug and play discover of devices within your machine. It is basically a protocol that lets malware, worms, etc forward ports for themselves in your router. The entire protocol is a massive security bug implemented across pretty much all consumer routers because of a combination of software vendors not bothering to document needed ports, being too lazy to actually maintain consistency and a small footprint on ports, and people being too dumb to educate themselves on how to open ports.
Sadly, many console gaming systems just assume you are running it and play fast and loose on ports, requiring people to run completely unsecured or not fully enjoy their console.
For those of us who don't game, the choice has always been simple, just say no to upnp.
We learn from stresses, this could be part of a mechanism for passing information genetically to offspring. Sorry ladies, you won't replace fathers with artificial sperm anytime soon, we pass genetic wisdom to our children.
"I don't believe any organization could properly function if every single person imposed their personal morality onto it."
We aren't talking about personal morality, we are talking about government agencies violating the law which governs them and hiding it behind a classified status. The highest ranking entity in the US isn't any of the three branches empowered by the Constitution or their agencies it is The People. Every employee and official of government has a duty and an obligation to the people that preempts the power of government.
There is another between that better supports changes introduced by globalization and automation. Split all stock of US based companies and arms of companies, split all the stock of foreign arms of US companies. Put it in trust under a non-profit and use it to fund a UBI for current citizens and their descendants.
In this way you take out the charity aspect, this country built the business models and the wealth that powers these corporate machines. Cut the people back in but tie their fate to that of actual economic machines they helped build, it also doesn't change the score of the wealthy relative to one another or controlling interest. Don't work, you'll get only what everyone gets as the result of our collective labor + royalties from its use in the developing world. Actually work and you'll have a higher standard of life because you'll still get the UBI.
For those who suggest getting rid of social programs alongside it, that problem stops being an issue as soon as the UBI grows beyond the poverty line. Suddenly nobody qualifies for social programs anyway and pretty much universally those programs are structured in such a way that any earnings you have reduce your benefits so the UBI will be reducing those programs anyway.

You are living in a dream world. Most experts fall on the "Never" deadline for the level of qubit density needed to supplant classical computing.
And this doesn't? You can see received payments. A little bit of forensic accounting can connect the dots. What if undermining the government is exactly the point?

Sure, right now the fix is AMD. The fixes for Intel have been dramatically reduced performance.
Actually I think this is a great thing, the people who are likely most concerned are those who are trying to lock down information from those who have unsupervised access such an employer or the copyright/gaming cartels with DRM.

About the same amount of time it took for the internet to become the dominant network.

For the same reason communist entities begin with dictators.

Agreed
These entities are large enough that they just buy out and absorb upstarts.
What does any of it have to do with Trump?
