A problem that not one other developed country has had to deal with in years. Decades, even.

And are you seriously telling me that if the recipient AND the sender were to acknowledge that it was fraudulently cashed that the bank couldn't do anything about it? That the security is on an inked name alone? What ridiculousness. That's just awful consumer protection.

Maybe - yet again - wake up, get into the 21st century as a country, and start putting laws on the side of taxpayers and consumers rather than corporations.

Capitalist economies give us roughly 99.999% of memory today. What alternative source do you suggest to meet demand?

People have passengers sometimes, and driving from the middle of a three-person bench seat is much more dangerous than from the side.

Shor's algorithm has been used to factor 21, not 29. 29 is prime, and people don't usually talk about factoring primes because the factors are trivial. But otherwise, yes.

"Following a three-hour trial at Wandsworth County Court on 14 May 2026, in which both sides were represented by barristers, the court found in favor of the claimant,"

So... no... AI didn't win a case.

He's also going to have to pay that money back, have all his assets seized to do so (proceeds of crime), and then the tax man is going to be asking "Hey, you earned £2m, right? Where's the tax on that?"

Now that he's been jailed, they have years to unpick it all, file additional charges, seize everything he owned, even take any "gifts" that he gave to friends and family, and build a case for tax fraud to jail him further.

Government intervention in international currency markets is "capitalism"? Since when, and by what definition? Wikipedia says "Capitalism is an economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and its use for the purpose of obtaining profit", which on the surface neither implies nor aligns with the Chinese government controlling the CNY-USD exchange rate.

You need to read The Secret Barrister novels, written by a real criminal-law barrister.

The UK courts are an absolute mess of chaos, that's not the lawyer's or the judges fault.

You would think that with a former-lawyer as the prime minister now it would get sorted, but they've made only token changes to an absolutely nonsensical court-appointment system that operates largely on constant fire-fighting and ill-preparedness and throwing lawyers to the wolves making them run from case to case with little to no preparation or warning.

It's continued because "that's how it's always been done" but the court system outgrew the capacity decades ago.

So does... Starlink own space now?

Maybe if you hadn't sent up countless thousands of satellites without asking anyone but the US, people will give a damn about where they were.

No, it's not. Read better.

I bet that the system showed police the timestamp of the image and they ignored it. This is the same dysfunctional state where police can't identify a burglar who used a Waymo robotaxi as a getaway car.

Don't be a dick. You claimed something that wasn't in TDS or TFA. It's not my burden to disprove your hallucination.

Did the system report that, or did it report the most recent data it had but police didn't look at the timestamp?

First, they came for the uninsured... Slippery slope. You did not have the foresight to understand your role. I mean, really, you were setting up surveillance. Was it your job to care what they did with it? Well, yes. Hand a lighter to a child and it is your fault he burns the world.

People don't pay capital depreciation. It's a bookkeeping technique to reflect that durable capital assets don't last forever. People pay for the assets up front. Capital depreciation decreases the book (=accounting fiction) value of the asset and spreads the tax deduction for the purchase expense over the same time.

I have known that Bitcoin was a worthless, bubble-driven fad for 17 years. I look forward to being proven right this time.
