No undocumented, untaxed, under-the-radar transactions will be tolerated.

You are joking, aren't you? Cashless money only forces the small people to pay taxes. Those who can afford a monaco citizenship will still go away untaxed.
The governments should hunt the big money instead. But they know, that if they do, big money moves off, like in france (which did a far too exagerated tax), as it lives from and lives for its money (nothing bad, I would do the same). So instead they tax those for whom money doesn't have this big priority. No average rich person will leave a country only because they raised taxes.

Submission + - India forged Google SSL certificates

NotInHere writes: As Google writes on its Online Security Blog, the National Informatics Centre of India (NIC) used its intermediate CA certificate issued by Indian CCA, to issue several unauthorized certificates for Google domains, allowing to do Man in the middle attacks. Possible impact however is limited, as, according to Google, the root certificates for the CA were only installed on Windows, which Firefox doesn't use, and for the Chrom{e,ium} browser, the CA for important Google domains is pinned to the Google CA.
According to its website, the NIC CA has suspended certificate issuance, and according to Google, its root certificates were revoked by Indian CCA.

The problem about nuclear is not about how many people it has killed, but about how many it will kill.

Some people want to hide nuclear waste deep in the mountains, hoping it doesn't harm them. I think this is a very stupid thing to do, as one day perhaps we will figure out how to get rid of nuclear waste (like having cheap safe rockets to send it to sun), and then need it. We know far too few about geological stability to decide for this step.

Don't take me wrong -- I think nuclear fusion is a great technology which will perhaps one day give us almost free energy. But until then we shouldn't destroy our future with fission.

This chip can be very useful for people who have to take in stuff regularly, like diabetes patients, for medical reasons. No insulin syringe into the leg needed, a simple app on the watch of a diabetes patient is enough. If it has direct access to blood, which I doubt, the chip can even perhaps detect too high blood sugar and automatically react, replacing the function of a pancreas.
