I think it's legitimate to give a few sentences of background for the benefit of the audience if you are asking a question at a public event. Kerry read the book, but did everyone else?
The US Navy uses Tor to talk to intelligence sources. Chinese dissidents use it to send uncensored news to the west. And criminals can just use botnets. Criminals already have anonymity, it's the rest of us that Tor is designed for.
We have one atmosphere, one hydrosphere. Smog in LA has been found to come from burning forests in Southeast Asia. Chernobyl spewed radioactivity over Finland, hundreds of kilometers away. Flame retardants have been found in Antarctic penguins. If China wants to fill up their corner of the earth with toxic waste that waste will travel and end up everywhere. And the free market doesn't care about the needs of those with no money. In the words of Brecht: ''And there are some who are in darkness, and the others are in light. And you see the ones in brightness, and those in darkness drop from sight.'' Read Dickens or Sinclair to see how true this is.
Discreet log algorithms are different depending on the group they are in. Braid group algorithms, for example, are almost polynomial time, while in $\mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z}$ the best known algorithms are exponential in complexity.
What about the energy of the hyperfine transition of cesium-133? Just fix $h$ and then you have an energy unit, hence a mass unit from $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$.
Buildings are complex. How often do they fall down? The issue I have with the state of security is that a lot of research has been done, that has produced results, but it hasn't made the jump to commercialization. And Windows is not designed right. Just look at shatter attacks. They implemented a feature that permits code injection regardless of security level. That's not a coding error, that's a design failure. Multics made these mistakes 40 years ago. You think OS implementors would learn from the most secure commercial operating system ever created?
Well, the problem is that Shor's algorithm can solve discreet logs in any group. This makes ECC unsafe as currently implemented. No one has come up with secure methods that will not fall to Shor's algorithm.
Let's say I retire and have a retirement account that will pay my income forever. Let's further assume it is inflation-proof (or that inflation is zero). I'll pull a number out of a hat and say I have one million dollars in the account. (I've saved up a lot). Now I want a gross annual income of $10,000 dollars. This is my only source of income, and I need to pay for health insurance etc. Currently that account needs to pay 1% returns to work. Under your plan it would need to return 6%, meaning it would be a much risker investment. Note that my example is very unrealistic, but a similar thing would happen with more realistic numbers for inflation and interest rates. It gets worse if I live in a house whose value has appreciated a lot recently, and have a fixed income. That's why we use income tax. Also, assets can have values that are hard to figure out and their values can dramatically change. Income is a bit more predictable.
They should just design it right in the first place. This is not rocket science. Many of the security holes are exactly the same. We keep on seeing buffer overflows. You should be getting new kinds of hole each time if you properly audit your code for the kinds of hole you know about, ex. OpenBSD. And you should think about the security architecture and make sure a good implementation of it will not have holes due to design.
Nah, DMSO works just fine for LSD. Just read the Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. But I don't think a gradeschooler would stand still while a stranger straps this to them.
And how do we cut that bigger pie comrade? The economy might not be zero-sum, but at some point you need to think about how the benefits are being handed out. What good is that giant pie in the sky if all I get are a few crumbs?
If I accidentally send a letter to you containing confidential information it's my mistake. You probably shouldn't read it, but I should never have sent it in the first place.

A million dollars in unmarked bills?

Deport them to where?
Capitalism is a bit harder to defend then a big markup for a popular product. See also: Bhopal, Karl Marx, Charles Dickens.
The predictions made for 2007 understated the effects of global warming by huge amounts.

So someone doesn't want people who aspire to be criminals in his store? How utterly unreasonable is that!
There's a difference between prohibiting your own employees from posting material and deleting material posted by outsiders.
She's in the VVD. Why would socialist be in a major right-wing party instead of the PvA or the GL?

Python, meet Haskell and Erlang.

Smart criminals pay income tax on their gains to avoid getting nailed for tax fraud.

No, we all *mass* the same. The kilogram is not a Newton.

You misunderstand. How does a sailor on a ship refer to it? As a woman in America. Bombers typically have female names in the American Air Force.
You actually can focus gamma rays.
