It’ll be interesting to watch someone establish a bank in a space station.
Inevitable, probably.

I’m unclear about the Fraud charges.
In a Fraud case, you deliberately set out to take other people’s money, illegally, from the offset.
I don’t think he did that. I think his intentions were honest but he got too cocky by providing loans and overspending. However, I feel that he thought he was smart enough to make it all back and make good, like Nick Leeson.
I don’t think he set out to be a crook. I think he set out to be extremely wealthy, thought he was smarter than he was, then couldn’t cope when things started to collapse.
It’s different from setting out to craft a scheme to rob people.
Regardless of the sentence, I’d wager he’ll do ten.
I’m a Brit. In 2016, my best friend (who’s not a betting man) walked into a betting shop and placed a £50 accumulator on Clinton winning the US election and the UK voting to Remain in the EU.
Dead certs, right?
This will be a tough one to fix. There must be millions upon millions of embedded systems out there with 16-bit epoch burned in.
They’ll all be much tougher to find than “YEAR PIC(99)” in COBOL was.
Y2K wasn’t a problem because thousands upon thousands of programmers worked on it well in advance (including myself) we had source code and plenty of static analysis tools, often homegrown.
The 2038 bugs are already out there…in the wild…their source code nothing but a distant dream.
How would you deal with armed settlers kicking your family out of your home at gunpoint?
Not by saying “What Hitler did to you will be like a picnic”.
Daft cow
As another commenter said, I don’t think cryptography is the main problem.
You’ve got to be able to modulate some numbers out of the radio signal first before you need to be concerned if it’s encrypted or not.
GPS signals from power conserving satellites are so weak that I’d imagine that overwhelming them with noise on all frequencies would be the easy answer. (Although there’s a Big Brain hyper-cunning answer to that…).
Don’t forget, Porkshire, Wankashire and the Norfuck broads.
Damn. So no totally dark motorcycle then. Ah well
Came here to write exactly that! .
One exception would be the “MOAB”, which officially stands for “Massive Ordnance Air Blast”, but is surely unofficially the “Mother Of All Bombs” - a poker at Saddam Hussein’s statement that he would unleash the “Mother of All Wars”.
I’m not a physicist (read "couldn’t do the maths“) but MOND feels closer to an natural, organic explanation than Dark Matter. Are there planets formed from Dark Matter? Are there elements and dark molecular structures?
Please can I have a motorcycle made of it?
What a fucking disgraceful mess.
Your point is a valid one, so I’ll answer it. Initially I did use Google. I was overloaded with a mash-up of sites from which it would have been difficult to resolve right from wrong. As this doesn’t relate to my country I’d have simply moved on.
Instead, I feel much more informed from all the considered, well-written responses which people were kind enough to write here.
This makes sense, thank you for taking the time to explain.
I see, thank you (and to everyone else who responded).
I agree with this. I used nicotine lozenges to wean myself off cigarettes and this was successful.
However, I did notice as a side effect that they helped me concentrate on complex tasks.
So, although I don’t use them daily, I leave a pack lying around just to suck on in the same way I might use a cup of coffee to sharpen up in the morning.
I genuinely believe this does me no harm. I think the debates started to get heated when inhalation is involved.
Thank you. But I’m still not sure I get it. Could you maybe give an example of what kind of lie or fear mongering would make people want to say:
“No, I don’t want the constitution to recognise that there were an indigenous people here before us.”
That seems like an unarguable fact, isn’t it?
I’m sorry, I don’t mean to put you on the spot but since you were kind enough to take the time to give an overview, it makes me hungry for more detail!
Horse meat is common in Switzerland. There are restaurants specialising in it.
