I was just thinking, that actually, an ICP cryptocoin or some other investment vehicle would probably be more successful than most of the actual/existing ones.

Why would you privatize water? Like what's the supposed advantage?

They needed to improve the water infrastructure, and the private sector has all the money.

Tangentially, there may be a need to charge more for water somehow, since you need the funds to keep it working (and expand it so poor suburbs can have some too) and because waste goes up when it's too cheap. But when the inequity is so high there's no reasonable price point that will fund the system without killing the poor, so it ends up falling apart while being essentially free to use for businesses and upper/middle class who will waste the poo poo out of that.

So more generally it's a problem of capitalism and a good example of how it can't work, even in theory, without socialist policies to raise funds progressively, prevent monopolies and keep inequity in check.

If it is another 4 digits of winning, I will be overcome with the Lord's joy.

I want so much winning that people will stop talking about "erasing Trumps gains" and begin talking about "total catastrophic financial collapse"

If you mean today specifically, an announcement by the fed walking back any talk of rate increases would probably do it. If you mean in general, basically another full blown paradigm shift on par with the second industrial revolution.

quote:

Russian security officers have arrested several scientists working at a top-secret Russian nuclear warhead facility for allegedly mining crypto-currencies.

The suspects had tried to use one of Russia's most powerful supercomputers to mine Bitcoins, media reports say.

The Federal Nuclear Centre in Sarov, western Russia, is a restricted area.

The centre's press service said: "There has been an unsanctioned attempt to use computer facilities for private purposes including so-called mining."

The supercomputer was not supposed to be connected to the internet - to prevent intrusion - and once the scientists attempted to do so, the nuclear centre's security department was alerted. They were handed over to the Federal Security Service (FSB), the Russian news service Mash says.

"As far as we are aware, a criminal case has been launched against them," the press service told Interfax news agency.

Crypto-currencies like Bitcoin do not rely on centralised computer servers. People who provide computer processing power to the crypto-currency system, to enable transactions to take place, can get rewards in Bitcoins.

In the Cold War the USSR's first nuclear bomb was produced at Sarov, during Joseph Stalin's rule.

The top-secret town was not even marked on Soviet maps and special permits are still required for Russians to visit it.

Sarov is surrounded by a tightly guarded no-man's-land, with barbed wire fences to keep the curious away.

There are suspicions that the radioactive polonium-210 used to kill ex-FSB agent Alexander Litvinenko in London in 2006 came from Sarov.

The Federal Nuclear Centre reportedly employs up to 20,000 people and its supercomputer boasts a capacity of 1 petaflop, the equivalent of 1,000 trillion calculations per second.

Mining crypto-currencies requires great computational power and huge amounts of energy.

There have been reports of some other industrial facilities in Russia being used for crypto-mining, and one businessman reportedly bought two power stations for the activity.

ART MARKET – Fake Renoir favored by our lustful leader. Over the last couple of years the top of the market has been frothy while the rest has been lackluster. How will coming transparency, regulation and taxation affect the prices and liquidity of art? More about that in a forthcoming column which will be published regularly in an exciting magazine beginning in March.
