The car manufacturers will have to take out insurance against insurance companies.
It'll work itself out. The only thing *everybody* seems to agree on is that overall, driving will be much safer once we remove human inputs from the controls.
Also, I believe the switchover to driverless cars will be amazingly fast. People will be fighting each other in the showrooms when they figure out they can watch porn instead of driving.
Smelting money is always a bad idea. The base metals are worth much less than the original coins and they're not even good metals for making tools, etc. (which could be sold for profit).
Suppose you did indeed have an amnesia-proof password store. And then you get into a situation where you are scared to death (jackbooted thugs breaking into your house in the middle of the night, drag you off to some scary Cuban shore,...) and you are so frightened by the ordeal that you forget your valuable passwords. So fine so good. But then there's you're amnesia-proof solution, which brings your memories back. oops.
They're going to drag you off to Cuba to get your Facebook password?
Put it in a box with a one-time lock (can only be locked once, yes, they exist...).
That way you can tell if anybody else has ever opened it.
Lock it in an ordinary safe then drill a hole through the key and get a jeweller to fit an engraved metal ring through the hole. The only way to use the key is to break the ring. Or lock it in the safe then cover the key with sealing wax and sign it (no, they're not 100% foolproof but they're probably good enough).
Tattoo your safe deposit bank number (the bank of which required your biometric identity to get into the vault) on your arm. Maybe you should also tattoo the name of the bank (and address?) there,
...and then never wear short sleeves in public or go swimming for the rest of your life.
a lot of money that would otherwise move around the economy in a proper manner is now going to get funneled into a black economy where it will see less circulation (thus having a stagnating effect on the economy overall), will not be properly taxable, and will tend to leak into other more serious criminal enterprises.
You forgot one: "go across the border into another country, deflating the entire economy".
Once again, TorrentFreak does not fit the category. It does not help anyone commit any criminal activities or evade detection, despite all its biases towards the pirates.
I think you might be missing the point. He's saying that the new information/digital economy requires less people to run it and is therefore reducing the overall number of jobs.
Whether he chose Instagram/Kodak as an example or any of a variety others doesn't really matter. His point isn't wrong. Though I think the micro-payments that he's pushing sound like permanent DRM and something out of Stallman's "Right to Read" story.
The counterpoint is that the cost/ease of photography has dropped almost to zero (it was also an incredibly polluting industry that we're better off without...)
Yes, 140,000 people had to find a different job but the overall productivity and cost of living improved for the other 7 billion living on the planet.
Mr. Joe Nocera should be made to walk everywhere and not use any electricity for month or two before he's allowed anywhere near a modern word processor again.
2. Get some friend interested and mount an official protest in front of Westminster Palace.
Be sure the apply for the relevant protest permits first and to do it in the designated area (which isn't visible from any important palace windows).
3. Continue, get more people on board, get traditional/real media interested. Ignore government promises to oversight the filter list, claim of transparency,...
Gradually find out you're in the minority of "people who give a damn".
4. Continue get more people on board and create your own party. Win the election, change the law.

Guesses *can* be educated, based on experience...
So...it's OK for people to suffer because: "My phone might be 2mm thicker if they don't"
I'm assuming the "approval and consent" is buried somewhere in very small print and the default value is "accept".
I'm also guessing his company is very unhappy with him right now.

Whoosh
Its just a shame the contractors smelt money
Smelting money is always a bad idea. The base metals are worth much less than the original coins and they're not even good metals for making tools, etc. (which could be sold for profit).
used as a payment processing network - and at a fraction of the cost of traditional payment networks (visa, mastercard, paypal, SWIFT, etc).
Sure, TODAY. Wait until the big guns move in.
Just 'fess up and say "We don't know, we're software people, not hardware people".
If it's really important they might offer some help.
Simple: You tell somebody else when you do it.
Suppose you did indeed have an amnesia-proof password store.

I have a master password which i then encode with a simple cypher of adding letters together. e.g. A + B = D.
I then get a sentence from a book/movie etc and essentially add these together:
myveryspecialpasswordisawesome
ALLYOURBASEAREBELONGTOUS
I then just stored the encoded version on a piece of paper around the house for example with a hint? ....?

The stated problem was: "Amnesia".
You appear to have answered a completely different problem.
Tattoo your safe deposit bank number (the bank of which required your biometric identity to get into the vault) on your arm. Maybe you should also tattoo the name of the bank (and address?) there,
...and then never wear short sleeves in public or go swimming for the rest of your life.
Your brain is the limit!
Sure, unless you wake up with memory loss (it can happen, it seems you forgot the words of the summary while you were writing that!!)
a lot of money that would otherwise move around the economy in a proper manner is now going to get funneled into a black economy where it will see less circulation (thus having a stagnating effect on the economy overall), will not be properly taxable, and will tend to leak into other more serious criminal enterprises.

Why should anyone be running an operating system that is vulnerable to malware?
Because they want to do some work?
Why is hacking "obscene and tasteless" anyway?
Or "lock picking" ... I wonder how the guys at toool feel about being classified as obscene/tasteless by the UK government?
Once again, TorrentFreak does not fit the category. It does not help anyone commit any criminal activities or evade detection, despite all its biases towards the pirates.
So why did they put "torrent" in their name?
I'd like to be the first to thank Brian for warning us in advance, I'll be sure to add it to my list of banned products.
I just looked at the headings so I missed the "avoiding detection" bit
You're starting to grok it...

I just looked at that list, and cannot see a relevant category.
Try again...
"Obscene and Tasteless - This category will block sites that offer advice on how to commit illegal or criminal activities, or to avoid detection."
Torrentfreak often has articles on using Tor and proxies to hide your online activity (Random pick: this one)
Oh, you were expecting them to be covered under "File sharing"...? Silly rabbit.
1. Write your MP and express your outrage.
Receive a vague, mostly irrelevant canned reply.
2. Get some friend interested and mount an official protest in front of Westminster Palace.
Be sure the apply for the relevant protest permits first and to do it in the designated area (which isn't visible from any important palace windows).
3. Continue, get more people on board, get traditional/real media interested. Ignore government promises to oversight the filter list, claim of transparency, ...

Har!
Yes. Next question?
I realize you're jesting, but that's only because you haven't seen the list of blockable things:
http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/46809/kw/parental%20controls/c/346,6679,6680/related/1
ie. It's not just "porn".
TorrentFreak *is* covered by that list and was therefore blocked.
