It'll be interesting to watch someone establish a bank in a space station.
Inevitable, probably.
For all fallen, from any conflict, from any side.
They gave their lives.
Money buys liberty. Choices buy happiness. If you have more money, you have more choices available to you.
If money bought happiness there would be no sad rich people, but there are plenty of them.
What a shame. A lot of guys will have worked hard on this, perhaps going on a journey from initial enthusiasm at the novel gimmick to anxiety over real-world usability.
Sadly they're going to lose all their money or, even worse, find a way to pay back the VC.
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".
I don't think anything can.
I think the only way to experience true freedom would be to live, alone, on an unrecognised island, or in a space capsule.
The moment you encountered another person, you'd need to establish rules so you could co-exist in peace. No theft, for example.
At which point you aren't free.
