The turing test tests that you can persuade someone else you are a human or a computer by interacting via text.

Perhaps the real test of intelligence is whether or not you can break out of the simulation.

Probably need to explain why chaos

All the people who use a blockchain for bitcoin need that blockchain to have 'integrity' - no edits and it is in all actors interests to behave (you would hope).
Also bitcoins are not fungible.

If you are barclays bank and have made a mistake, no-one at Citibank gives a s***.
Also USD/GBP is fungible.

1
Blockchain + Editing Tool = Database

2
Blockchain + Editing tool + N 'clients' = N copies of the database

3
Blockchain + Editing tool + N 'clients' + M 'concurrent edits' = chaos

I have a suggestion - Use a proper database.
Does your $multi-billion business depend on this blockchain|database|record, If it does - Use a proper database, keep it safe.

I have always wondered why aliens capable of crossing interstellar distances would be interested in living on planets.

I am sure they are nice to visit for a holiday or something like that..

But what civilised person would really choose to live at the bottom of a gravity well?

Having seen a SAP implementation recently, I would say 'low-code' would be a step up.

Apple already holds the patents on a similar product for male prostitutes.

sir, I think you are referring to the famed iprod (tm)

Sir, you have been watching too much die hard.

Like terrorists, they only have to succeed once.

... it is a minicab company.

If Uber was a ride sharing company then the sharer would share - which means not charge at all, or at most charge for half the petrol used.

As soon as you charge more than that you are not sharing anymore, you are a taxi (do the knowledge in London) or a minicab (stick to the regs) or illegal.

I can see no problem with most of the regs - you want to know the driver can drive, has not been disqualified, passes basic pnc checks (not a wanted criminal), the car is safe and has proper insurance and you wont get ripped off on the fare.

Uber's reasonable complaint imo is that the TFL is under pressure to set a minimum 5m wait time.
