The current system with the hierarchy where a single CA is the only one deemed trustworthy enough is broken since a long time. A new solution is necessary where cross-signing with multiple CAs on a single certificate is necessary to measure how trustworthy a certain certificate is.
Done correctly this would ensure that a single CA isn't able to hold the full key for signing either. This would of course require a completely different architecture in the trust structure.
In addition to this - the keys used to get authorized by a CA could be built redundant so even if one single CA expires your key the redundancy would keep it valid - this would lower the risk caused by CAs going bad, suffer an intrusion or going out of business - or just suffer a denial of service attack.
However with the holes in the firmware that you can find today it might be a good idea to put your entertainment system on a separate subnet at home compared to the other devices - and only open that net when you really need.
Segmentation of networks is a good security measure these days.
Then consider that the reason people do get a stream is because they don't want to pay $50/month for following a single show. Or $100/month for following a specific sports series that occurs a few weekends per year.
No wonder people grab a stream if they can. If there were legal pay per view streams that were easy to access and with no side effects like getting a kiloton of promo emails and crap from it then people would probably be attracted to that. Pay $5 to see a F1 race could work - if it could be paid with some convenient method like PayPal.
Just thinking about what if the universe actually holds equal amounts of matter and antimatter can lead to some interesting ideas. Are all galaxies of matter or are some of anti-matter?
Or what if Big Bang actually created two mirror universes, one with matter, the other with anti-matter?
But then we must realize that a "perfect" explosion don't exist.
Online advertising? Haven't seen that in a while though except some forum spam. In general I see more spam mail and forum spam posts than web page ads these days.
As for cryptocurrency - that may be something that the governments will try to stop in the future since they can't tax the transactions as it is now. That will be their primary concern - taxes.
The problem is that if you get one today for use in a few years then you will get a VPN service that is severely scrutinized by the authorities when you start to use it.
$1000 for locating a certain individual seems expensive if you follow what's in the article.
I suspect that the cost of a single tracking is less than $1. It's the use of a tracking ad that costs $1000, but then you can target more than one individual, more likely 1000 individuals several times.
I'm more curious about how many cases that have been contaminated with the HeLa strain which is one of the most known immortal strains out there. Fun fact is that the scientists have grown about 20 tons of that strain so far - that's a huge woman.
And putting your information in the cloud is not only putting all the eggs in the same basket but all your eggs in the same basket as many other companies including your competitors. So when the basket breaks it's one really sticky mess that can take years to clean up.
The delay and ineptness from various vendors to not provide updates is probably what will hurt the Android environment the most in the long run.
Early days of MS-DOS had actually different computers that weren't compatible with each other when it came to hardware and each required its own version of MS-DOS. Android is in the same seat.
Since when you get to a situation where you don't have any choice anymore but cash then coins are the best alternative. It's tough to get change from the shop keepers if the power goes out.
But also realize that shops can't even do anything when the power goes out because everything has barcodes, a carton of milk and a loaf of bread will be impossible to buy.

Which raises the question "Secure for Whom?".
If you want a secure system, look at OpenVMS.

Not really, you will have to use separate boxes, one for the public internet, behind that more boxes, one for each subnet.
Unless you are willing to work with a Linux server with multiple interfaces and iptables that is.

And did someone pay attention to what happens to the URL of the linked article when you open it?
But it's an added bonus.

N client and Evil Router = PAWNED.
What smartquotes? Those are the most stupid things that ever was invented since they screw up code examples royally.
Won't help you at the checkout.

The only reason I see for Edge doing well is that it's still not the main target for malware writers.
Which means that you should contribute to open source projects now and then just to leave some traces of your worth.
Or even develop some demonstration application that you can show. Doesn't really matter what.
Snooker and ice speedway would be fine.
It's most likely water currents causing this phenomenon. Unless there's a volcano that's erupting, but that would be detected seismologically.

Time to revisit the works of Gibson.
Another piece of work that might have inspired Gibson is Max Headroom.
Wax rolls.
Just be aware that as soon as companies discover that they have lost control over their data then things will get interesting.
