    AC humans would start looking at other humans as the police issue. A news report that tells everyone that it was computers makes that deep search go away.
    Police informants deep in criminal networks are safe as everyone thinks it was the computers.

    Informants that stay in place can then report on the next use of crypto.

  8. Police had to act fast before criminals suspected and questioned other criminals about helping the police.
    Better to tell everyone that it was "computers" and protect other well placed human informants working for the police.

    The police can then control the results now rather and unexpected results of finding actual decades of well placed human informants.

    Informants who can always find out what the next crypto products is :)

    AC the problem is who is filling in the postal vote and who is filling in the postal vote many times.
    An illegal migrant voting many times?
    A political party sending in 10000 extra postal votes under names that should not be voting any more?
    Showing photo ID should remove a lot of extra voting and illegal migrant voting.
    Removing easy postal voting allows everyone in the election to witness the voting process and the later counting.

    An educated workforce that needs a wage to keep working. When all the profits are lost to a new EU tax the value in the "educated workforce" is lost.
    Move to another advanced nation with better workers and a tax rate that welcomes investment and jobs.
    How much more tax are an average advanced nations "educated workforce" really worth?
    Some of the profits? Most of the profits? A total loss of all profit in that nation just to keep the "educated workforce" ?
    Would a company seeking low taxes to get the maximum profit now want to change to making a loss under a new EU tax?

    you can't tax something that can move out of the nation and out of the EU.
    Tax needs a captive product/service that has to stay in that nation.
    Low taxation is what attracted US brands to parts of the EU.
    When the EU places new tax the same US brands will just look for better tax rates globally.
    When the only attractive offer to stay in a nation was a low tax rate, don't remove the one thing keeping a brand in your nation.

    Most advance nations facing a new area of science usually find the very best people they have, give them jobs and money.
    Advance nations quickly work out if they can support a project over years of decades.
    The "budget" part for science when not at war usually sets some real world limits on expert staffing and the amount of new equipment.
    So take the science "budget" and consider how much can go towards one new project.
    Find the very best people and see if they get any results over years, a few decades within that amount of science spending.

    Why would any advanced nation staff any long term project with below average staff for decades and still expect results?

    Advance nations with the best skills have an ability to look after projects over decades and see if their spending is getting real world results.

    Tax payers money is not unlimited in most nations. Getting another nation or nations to keep on investing is not unlimited if no results are found.
    Private investment would also like to see some results in the short to long term for their money.
    That all needs the very best staff in advanced nations who can show they can manage "science" and who have decades of getting results for such investments.
    By governments looking after tax payers money every year. By investors expecting a return at some later date on their investment.
