This is really just not true. Mostly because in a normal job you don't receive all of your pay in a lump sum at the end of 5+ years. The degree of lock in you see in a phd program creates this kind of strange indentured servitude sit

Most of the English population didn't even have representation in parliament. Its very convenient how this wasn't an issue until America owed England a huge amount of money. What about all previous import/export taxes up unt

Mass surveillance is almost worthless without computers to monitor all of the video/audio feeds. You would need to have like a million people listening to the feeds and even then you wouldn't be able to monitor like 99% of the da

That is ridiculous. This is clearly a key advance needed for automated surveillance and autonomous robotics. That is like saying that the people who were working on nuclear fission are as responsible as the people who invented the process

I don't understand why you are doing this and I don't understand why other people in this thread are praising you. I understand that this problem is interesting to work on but seriously, this is obviously going to fall into the ha

He was probably fired because they realized they couldn't put a summer intern in control of such a critical system. I would make the same call.

I think they are, right? I think they are telling you that you need to earn $120k+ a year.

I don't know about the rest of this list, but how could there be inflation? There are a finite number of bitcoins that will ever exist.

> Having a system of enforcing contracts is essential to having a working currency. You are basically saying that banks are being evil when they repossess and foreclose on property, but if they weren't allowed to do so, they wouldn&

That is only going to work for a lower quality feed though. Even the best streams from netflix are not as good as an actual 720p high bitrate video. You would need to be able to stream at a consistent 6 mb/s minimum to even start to
