Its also low latency routing as tor router routes only for directly connected nodes where as internet router routes for all nodes. After certain network size, internet router will become too inefficient.
WRONG. Will this meme ever die ? Rich have always been paying extreme majority of the tax revenue. For example according to this recently released official report [1] in regards to the tax reform, In 2019 people earning >=$100k will make up 23.4% of number of tax _returns filed_ and contribute to 78.6% of all individual income tax revenue.
So if top 23.4% is ok with tax avoidence then the others really dont have much say. If the bottom 76.6% want more whatever they need to figure out a payment plan on their own.

There are enough people for everything. Some can do TP and others SP. If you are capable of doing TP then doing SP is inefficient use of resource.
Working together for a tech is beautiful endeavour completely oppositie to a political movement.
Whats the point ? We already have a secure system.
Trezor is an ideal HSM. Chromebook C201 can make most secure (not sure if its enough) HSM laptop. And I dont think performence is a requirement.
I more suprised why people are using YubiHSM like devices to store root keys. I dont mean to shit on someoneelse's party.
Any user customization to HSM should be considered unsafe. The new system would be expensive and "brittle".
> Most companies consider MITM an external compromise since the malicious actor is not on the machine itself or has no-longer access to the machine(s).
Securing HSM+Laptop is impossible compared to HSM. If laptop is secure, why even need HSM ?
> Even most 'dedicated' systems do NOT have a direct link to the input terminals most of the times since they are simple usb keypads. Some smartcard readers for PC have pin-pads but this is rarely the case and they are way more expensive than a keyboard and a regular reader.
If usbkeypad is not connected to a network and not attacked by evil maid, HSM+usbkeypad is still secure. But laptop is complex system, always connected to internet and has loosly regulated physical access.
> HSMs are not "MITM proof", the system at-large has to be.
Again if whole system is secure why need HSM ?
If user satisfy few conditions of using HSM, such as being rubberhose attack proof, the secrets MUST be secure irregardless of how insecure the larger system is.
Last few lines of `curl --trace - https://thepiratebay.org/` on Jio ISP. Full log https://gist.github.com/anonymous/27ddfa674233d8d17a007f1b3f...

So TLS handshake is being interrupted. If you think about it, https blocking is actually more efficient.curl log does not show the last fake rcvd packet. Anyone know how to do that ?
Though, USA is an exception, achived arguably due to history of low market intervention. I would not say that the MNC does not care but achieving global monopoly in heavely regulated industry is very hard. Case in point, in banking industry (the most regulated sector), there is no private (or even public) global monopoly.
> In a mixed economy, monopoly exists because of state and market.
No. We live in global economy. Most companies have to compete globally. You might get favours from few countries but not most. Note whether your home country gives you a boost or not, is irrelevent. The success in a foreign country without its govt's blessing, is the question.
And why do you think Govts will do better job at identifying/investing in potential productivity than rest of the market ?
I dont know how EC can justify (in court) violating non-retroactivity traditions/laws.

Thats an opinion not a fact. The case has yet to begin in court.
IMO Apple did not get any special treatment. Basically all you need is a country like Ireland where an onshore incorporated become non-resident if controlled offshore [1]. And Ireland must be not be considered as tax haven [2] by USA [3] otherwise Apple Sales International would be taxed as per USA laws whether Apple USA repatriates or not.
[1] This was true until 2015.
[2] IIRC Ireland must be considered tax-fair country. Obviously a more strict condition.
[3] Now here Ireland enjoy the benefit of single USA-EU tax treaty.

The pouplar reason given for the anti-success taxation, is that its fair. Because they agreed to the social contract. But its highly disputed by those taxpayers. Such disputes are canary/early-signs of fair/subjective contracts. Catalonians vs Spaniards is the other.
I am not really a good writer. I hope that clears it up. If not just ask.
SEC has not charged with fraud rather than with violating anti-fraud and registration provisions. Since almost no ICO implement anti-$FCRIME provisions, even honest ICO can be charged similarly.
IMO that has not been true for last 70 yrs. Point to me a war that has been People vs People.
The fact of the current world is People Are Sovereign. If some >=N people domiciled in continuous region wants self-determination, thats their human right.
You may not fire it but there is cost of creating and maintaing a gun. Yes there might be skirmishes during birth of City-as-a-Service industry. But it will stablize as military states fails to find enough revenue to sustain itself while also maintaing welfare spending.
Instead, the fierce and low-margin/high-risk compitition actually exist between aggressors 1. for the control of same region (eg Saudi Arabia) and, 2. providing same product (eg crude oil).
Warmaking is not as profitable as it used to be. And its only decreasing. What has China to gain from invaded HK ? Problem solvers will just move to another region. If its aggressors vs problem solvers, later does not need former at all. To defend PS dont need gun, embargo will work just fine.
