Interesting point. I wouldn't say profligate since creating a new coin, and getting people to adopt it is far less trivial than printing a bundle of notes. But, I think you're right in pointing out that it is a side-channel through which more money can be "created", but in this case it's not a fiat (government) policy decision.

This seems speculative and it effectively posits a worst-of-all-worlds situation resulting - one if which the UK is half inside the single market.

Half inside such that it allows the flow of goods (the UK is a net importer) but not services (which we net export). This would be untenable, worse than a no-deal situation. And the basis of this speculation is that the EU is holding all the cards. I'm really not convinced this is true.

The article reads a little bit like a remain fantasy - Brexit will be a disaster and then people must come around to my way of thinking! The problem with that analysis is that in your way of thinking it was likely unimaginable that the Brexit vote would go through in the first place. And then we heard that no PM would ever actually action it, and then that no Parliament would allow it. None of which has really panned out.

Sadly, she seems to have a gross misunderstanding of the facts of the case, as well as cybersecurity in general. There's essentially no chance of this being passed, she's just showboating.

Key questions:

1. Does this apply to all data aggregators, or just CRAs?

2. Does it apply to government breaches, banks, individual businesses, etc?

3. What additional oversight is going to be applied by the FTC that isn't already happening as part of the vast amount of other regulations? How will it protect consumers?
> So it's extremely popular/widespread, therefore it must be good, and therefore you should use it (thereby making it even more popular/widespread)?

My experience has been that that people that truly understand and appreciate technology for its own sake are also likely to underestimate the value of a tool being popular and widespread. What 'popular' really means is that the tool is more likely to be where you need it to be and the people you need to use it will already know how. Those things outweigh a 'perfectly' designed tool that you don't have or know how to use.

Amazing how small errors in a text start to degrade your confidence in the content. At the outset the sentences are clear and mostly correct. As it goes on small errors start to appear and occasionally the entire meaning of a sentence becomes unclear. By the end, reading his slightly dramatic flourish, you get the feeling that he wrote with some emotion and wasn't tending to the language very carefully.

On the one hand you can say these are merely typos. On the other you could say they reflect a lack of clarity, a lack of care. I know I find it hard to ignore.

Isn't a Canada-like solution exactly what current negotiations appear to work towards? Barnier presented a slide with options for the UK and a free trade agreement like with Canada was the only one that doesn't violate red lines set by the UK government.

Such a free-trade agreement would allow most goods to flow relatively freely but doesn't have any provisions for services.

The problem with estimates is that it's easy to install (and easy to estimate the time involved installing) a new air conditioner (or water heater or other applicance), but it's hard to estimate how long it will take to design/invent a new air conditioner, etc.

In software, the frustration between customers/management and developers comes from this misunderstanding. They think they're asking for a simple install of a thing (which has known risks), but they're often really getting the invention of a brand new thing (with unknown risks).

So my solution is to only give high-confidence estimates for things I've already done once. (e.g. I know it takes me 4 hours to assemble and ship one of my robots. I know because I've done it 100 times. But I have no idea how long it will take to design a new robot using unfamiliar parts from scratch.) But I do try to clearly point out where things are "installations" and where things are "inventions", with the appropriate margin-of-error for each kind of task in the estimate.

I do this for sub-tasks that are relevant to myself only (for example, "create function to do X"), but my minimum estimates are 1/2 a day (in extreme cases like a 1-line fix) or 1 day for anything that goes to a manager.
As a EU resident who is a partner in several UK based businesses, the uncertainty over what's coming next is frightening. When I approached different colleagues, friends & family in the UK, they all had different views on what should happen. To an outsider, it looks like opinions have been polarised.

If you are managing a business that has ties to the UK there are very many unknowns right now. It's a lot easier to plan for the worst than it is to take risks IMHO. Brexit must ultimately hurt the UK economy in some way – jobs lost, money flowing out of the country, talented people leaving?
> Imagine if every time that I went to a store and paid a dollar for a pack of gum I also had to pay a fee associated.

I agree that Bitcoin is unlikely to find utility as a usable currency, but this point rings extremely hollow, since buying a pack of gum with a credit card incurs a flat inquiry fee as well as a percentage of the sale, as does giving your friend $20. ATM transactions usually have fees associated as well.

I agree with most of your other points, but there's a pretty wide gulf between trading beef for ipods and the maximal cash utility of cryptocurrencies, and there's space for a more transactional crypto with more reasonable fees and processing times to disrupt the 2.5% + $0.30 credit card industry.

Sharing ad revenue has probably made a net profit for them. My guess is that the ad revenue incentivizes users to create compelling (and unfortunately sometimes controversial) at a far greater rate then it would if it were not sharing revenue.

They are essentially paying for "quality" content the same way Netflix and HBO do only they have a brilliant model because they only have to pay if the video is successful. Whereas Netflix, HBO, and the like need to pay even if the show is a flop.

> Isn't a Canada-like solution exactly what current negotiations appear to work towards?

Quite possibly, but I'm not familiar enough with CETA to know the answer to this question - does CETA restrict Canada's ability to enter other trade agreements with third-party nations?

The partial Single Market membership mentioned in the article does come with that proviso - that the UK cannot make trade deals with other nations, which is why I think it's an untenable position.

I can't decide if Brexit is good or bad for the UK. On the one hand, there's the common market and freedom of movement. On the other there's Germany's dominance and lots of fragile banks.

Of course, trespass laws don't apply directly, but I think that's an excellent analogy and could be an appropriate basis for future laws about web use.

As far as I know, the laws against trespass in the physical world derive from common law. It's a shame we don't have a similar common-sense starting point for computing law; but computing is so new (and to many people so esoteric) that few of us have had a chance to develop something like "common sense" about it.

The result is that the correct analogy for a situation isn't always obvious. For instance, we could go with the ever popular car analogy: Corporate players want their (public facing) servers to be treated under law not as stores open for business but as cars on a dealer's lot that you're welcome to test drive with permission but that it's illegal to just grab and take for a joyride.
The nominal value of your contribution is high (my original comment was not meant as an insult), but imagine a world where it can be higher still.

So far negotiations have shown the EU holds most of the important cards. The UK caved in on any negotiation demand.

It’s a fascinating view from Germany:

The UK threatens “No Deal”, the EU informs companies that “No Deal” is a possible outcome and plans contingencies, informs companies that they should too, UK now complains that EU threatens companies.

UK says “Out means out”, EU prepares to move EU institutions abroad, UK complains about EU moving institutions abroad.

I’m also puzzled what’s supposed to happen with such important stuff as rules and agreements for importing nuclear materials for powerplants (currently regulated via Euratom), regulations regarding medicine/medical treatment (currently also handled on a european level) and all of that stuff.

Which other option does the UK realistically have for those things other than just accept the EU rules? Any producer for anything that wants to export to the EU will have to abide by EU rules anyways. Will there be a UK and a EU edition of things?

All of this could be solved with sufficient time, but triggering article 50 was akin to holding a loaded gun to your head and saying “if you don’t do what I want at the end of the next two years, I’ll pull the trigger.”
Absolute. I wish engineers could use better examples to explain capabilities.

Ordering a pizza as shown in the above example is very contrived, no one needs that, a GUI is much better to execute this use case. But the power of chatbots will light up if it can answer 'Would this pizza be too spicy?", "can you deliver this after 4pm?". What I mean is when the chatbots can take over more of customer queries which otherwise might be directed to the store via phone call. Or something which requires deep knowledge of the product and when not every corner case can be put on the GUI menu.

>> since buying a pack of gum with a credit card

I think the poster is talking about BTC as a currency there, not a payment method. When talking about it as a payment method, sure there are fees and processing times. But when just handing your friend $20, or buying gum with cash, not so much.

Over here in Europe, FYI, most ATM transactions don't have fees (if you use one run by a bank anyway), and sending money to your friend by direct bank transfer is also free.

Yeah this seems like the most reasonable option.

Even not having service trade isn’t a great disaster. Companies with sizeable EU revenue can just set up a European subsidiary (in Ireland, etc) to conduct business in Europe from the UK (or anywhere).

(Though I accept it’ll be a pain for e.g. finance companies which the EU requires to be based within the EU,)

Startups eespecially aren’t held back by these rules right now, they just sell everywhere in USD (and at some point when they’re big enough create an EU subsidiary).

The goods thing would be a real issue, if everything on supermarket shelves became 1.5x as expensive. So as long as that’s solved it’ll be fine.

Personal Note: My friend is a mayor and is under Federal Prosecution. He was wired for 2 years by two people, one of which made $500,000 in three years and didn't declare it to the IRS. He earned his money by illegal political means. My friend has hundreds of hours on tape and thousands of documents and after lawyers and people going through them there is nothing there. He has stated his innocents since day one and there is zero direct evidence yet trial starts in a few weeks.
Federal Prosecutor has released statements and quotes of the recordings that were one sided and actually if they just let the quote go for one more sentence it would show that my friend actually told everyone to stop doing anything to anyone. The person being wired actually said that the mayor has never done anything wrong so we have to set him up and the FBI informant actually sent out illegal texts and emails to a possible campaign donor. My friend confronted him on tape and told him to cut it out and to stop this or else they would all go to jail.
US Court System is unbalanced and it will sentence possibly innocent people multiple times higher sentences over people caught red handed and plea bargain. It is better to lie and admit guilt than to fight for your innocence.
