No, they are a digital ledger. A true digital cash transaction would only need communication between the two parties involved, rather than a working connection to a third entity.

Was trying more for reducto ad absurdum. I didn't come up with the idea of having laws to separate runners from walkers, you did. I was just exploring the enforcement mechanism for such a suggestion.

I hope I haven't ruined the mundanity. Is what Wednesdays are for.

Ok, so licences for runners then, as you may need to have a test to see that people know the rules and presumably ban people from running if they break them.

In a world where there were only pedestrians, would you want them to start having licences? Per mile, walking is exceedingly dangerous compared to other modes of transport.

Roads in the UK have generally had some work done on them since the automobile was invented. Saying that they are designed for bike traffic, when they are continuously rebuilt to the needs of motorised vehicles, is a bit like complaining th

It clearly does provide some advertisement for you, even if you do not want or require it. The general public are being informed about an item on your CV. I am sure that there is a lot more to this story than I know. I only just encountered

There isn't a provable way to know if other animals even exist, including yourself for anyone else, let alone if they experience pain. Positive proofs are tricky things and we don't have very many of them outside mathematics.

You shouldn't be suing them, you should be thanking them. Whatever your perceived status was before having a New Yorker article about the success of a commercial project that you helped create, after the article is published, it is def

Am trying out the brave browser at the moment, it does that pretty well, though for any site that doesn't just work in brave by turning on scripts for a page, I still tend to use firefox or opera, rather than enabling more things on br

You may have a point there, but Disney and the Trump administration are, at least publicly, on very different sides in the culture wars currently dominating political discourse.

Only two of them are tabloid. The rest are broadsheet and telly. In the UK, regulation is a serious discussion point when discussing journalism, both from the perspective of things like the tabloid phone hacking and also from the perspectiv

Perhaps I hang around with very different journalists than you do.

I don't know, in the UK the discussions about the future of journalism centre more around press regulation and what are the acceptable limits of tabloid excess.

How any new legislation on this issue may play out over the next year, brings to mind the old theological saw regarding an irresistible force meeting an immovable object, given the large political incompatibility of the current players.

Well, there are many kinds of regulation, as not all things are alike.

I hardly think that you have identified journalism's biggest achilles heel. Journalism as a business and the journalists who work within it, by and large, do not insist on the concept of quality journalism, or think that most people ca

In the very real sense that laws are regulations. Calls to SWAT are regulated through the law and backed by the force of the state. The mechanism is regulated by punitive measures after the fact, rather than some sort of regulatory filter,

Of the many and varied lies that could be told to cause incredible inconvenience through the medium of misinformed police, only a few will trigger a SWAT team. SWAT teams are not deployed by the police when they think that it is likely that
