That used to be my password (or something very similar). It was a pain because I couldn't tell the 0 and O characters apart, and had to try a few dozen times to get it right each time.
And in countries with high corruption, who is going to set up this system? And who is going to pay for it? And even if you did set it up and get it funded, why would the corrupt government respect it? This is just more "evading the law".
Please, please, please: list some of these uses. I've asked this question before, and gotten silence in response. What is the use of this "$700 million" technology? What is it good for, other than evading the law?
And while we're at it, let's define "space" to be 100 miles up, not 100 kilometers. If we're going to be arbitrary, let's be AMERICAN arbitrary! USA! USA!
Why on earth did they need people's scanned driver's licenses and passports? What kind of fool would give that up to invest in an "anonymous" currency? The mind boggles....
Hopefully the black boxes involved will share some info.
It's likely this accident was documented by the car's cameras and sensors to a degree unprecedented in any car-pedestrian collision ever. The analysis should be interesting.

Did you hear there's now an object-oriented version of COBOL? It's called "ADD ONE TO COBOL GIVING COBOL".
Oops, I meant "less insensitive". Hoist by my own petard! (Will /. ever allow comment editting? But I digress....)
That should be "more or less insensitive", not "more insensitive".
'The Economist' might not see evading capital controls as useful, but they are wrong.
So, they're also useful for crime. Got it.
I'll probably vote for him because he's the Democratic nominee, but Polis strikes me as such a phony sometimes.

So, Mr. Coward, why do you need an anonymous historical record? And again, who pays?
Anybody else have a legitimate use? *crickets*
If the central government isn't corrupt, then why don't they just keep the property records themselves, in a traditional format? And again, who pays?

And I want a phone with cutouts in the middle of the screen. On the back, too.
I didn't read past the first few paragraphs. Very repetitive. He needs a (paid) editor.
Betteridge's law strikes again!
"I don't use Facebook" is the new "I don't own a TV".
Are we cooperating with China this week, or fighting them? How about North Korea? Is there anybody in the administration with a plan?
Perhaps Canadian police would show less restraint if their country was also awash in guns.
They'd get deluged with pranks, such as hashes for pictures of Trump, etc.
Do people still brag about not watching TV, or is that irrelevant now that everybody has a smart phone?

Actually, let's be honest here: Don't Use Metric.

Go OUTSIDE and give it a try. Did you know the sky is still blue?
And be sure to take pictures and post them. Sunrise/sunset pictures get the most likes, after dogs.
