After a stressful event, such as an accident, the victim or friends of victims could change his mind with some tetris game. Bonus idea: if you get an operation the doctor give you a couple free token for you after the surgery!
Here In Canada, all cell phones, locked or not, connected to an ISP or not can call emergency. But I get your point, technology doesn't always make stuff simpler and in some case could lead to terrible situation.
The legal tender law means that people in the country are FORCED and OBLIGED to accept it as a means of payment or contract value. There is no chance Bitcoin get there. We surely don't wanna people getting forced to accept Bitcoin payment. But still having it classify as a currency means you don't pay taxes when buy or sell it and can be used in a contract.
Cash is getting hammered more and more, reducing the high value bills while still having inflation. If you carry too much, you get asked questions when spending and can your bills confiscate for no reason other than the amount you are carry (ready about civil forfeiture). I could see a use for digital currency. While you can argue that the creator have tons of bitcoin and is rich, the blockchain show early bitcoin never moved/used at all. In fact, the guy completely disappears from the map years ago... he could actually be dead and nobody knows... it's a possibility but definitely not certainty that he did that for money! Bitcoin transactions were not about privacy, they were about permissionless and censor resistant! Even if you live in an oppressive government, the bank cannot froze your account. Bitcoin adoption is slow, mainly because most governments ask for KYC policy and that's a bit awkward with any blockchain tech. If the web has been controlled by bureaucrats at start, we would have to register to surf, comments and make web sites. Just like the email and torrent protocol, the bitcoin protocol cannot be shut down, it's not going anyway... it's an experimental currency that, as you said, have a controlled and limited inflation. You can argue it's bad, there is hundreds of inflated currencies out there with inflation, let there be one to try if it's working without.
Sometimes. I would prefer to enjoy life and be a total ignorant. Yet slashdot remind me that reality is not always good to know. That said, once you learn it, you never forget it! Happy swimming!
As they said in the article they are processing million of images and that's expected to have some false positive. There is no way in the world a human can review every single photo posted. I think it's a story out of nothing special.
You mean someone has been dumping it for 3 years? Recent days we have seen insane price increase if you look over 3 years, it's a pretty consistent price increase. Sad you probably never read how bitcoin works and understand to true power of p2p transactions. If that would have been possible... would you have invest in the p2p communication called the Internet? Or the p2p file sharing torrent? Bitcoin is the next logical step against censorship.
Beanie Baby could be created as much as the company wanted. Bitcoin are limited in quantity... for something purely digital this is a great invention... like it or not!
The value of bitcoin derived from that fact... if you could multiply it, it would have no value.
I don't think having to hold or parse 1000 GB of data is too big requirement to run your own bank! If you just want to use Bitcoin, there is many clients that have none of those huge "problems" and can be use on your phone.
They have little choice but the say loud and clear and fight in court... the reality... they are forced to give the data. Ever heard of secret orders where the company can't even talk about it?
Java is lagging behind C# for years now on every new features: enum (2004 vs 2002), generic (2004 vs 2002), anonymous function, lambda (2011 vs 2008).. pick your own and compare.
Java is still lacking of 64-bit addressable arrays, async code as of Java SE9.
Regarding poison pill worth mentioning that C# language is an open source Ecma and ISO standard... something Java is not. The compiler is open source so the whole framework. Microsoft repeatedly said that they want interoperability with other implementations such as mono... they even helped them at some point. During that time Java user get sue and now fine. I don't think we can say both C# and Java are the same at all.
So the government will pass a law and all IoT will be secure... that would be the US gouv I assume? All companies in the world will be complying to the new law?
I would not count that for sure.

What if the sample were from earth... that would explain why they both have the same age...?
I can view PDF with Chrome already, why should I have both installed?
It's called volatility, bitcoin is used for buying something real every 35 sec just on BitPay platform.

I think you are describing a ETF funds in Bitcoin.

So if I read properly, even Symantec customers are not protected against hack...
