Interview with cyberrights activist padeluun about RFID radio chips in commerce

Technology studies predict that by 2010 at the latest, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chips will have replaced today’s barcodes.

When an RFID reader emits a radio signal, nearby chips respond by transmitting their data over several meters.

From today’s perspective, it is clear that the lack of an Internet-like structure also doomed the socialist planned economy to failure. The question naturally arises why the Soviet Union did not invent the Internet or at least imitate it, because the technology would have been there in principle. Answer: It has yes. Or had, if the little word "when" had not been.

Cybernetics, which was a suspect science in the Soviet Union in the years after World War II. Stalin and his, whose approach can rather be described as top-down, criminal-style management, had no sense of oscillating, interdependent control loops; one can figuratively imagine that they had "Widerrede" for a correct translation of the term "feedback" had held.

What we learned from a book published in 1956 about the "ara Trump" and the power structures of America

If he loses the election, will he voluntarily hand over power?? And how will the situation change if Joe Biden wins the election??

International monetary system is facing a rough change: private cryptovals à la Bitcoin could follow digital money ied in the foreseeable future of central banks. A first Chinese attempt to the Olympic winter games were expected to follow other countries, which expects at least Ralf Wintergers, the boss of the Munchner Banknoten manufacturer Giesecke + Devrient.

China Prescht ahead

"The People’s Bank of China has begotten, to the Olympic Winter Games 2022 a so-called "Digital Currency Electronic Payment" intake", said winter. "That is new." He looks at the Chinese envision as the first live trial. "China and Sweden are the two countries who are most advanced, with China with the contested launch to the winter games. We are just in the beginning of the development as Europe."

Punishment not only strengthens cooperation, but is also economically advantageous – at least in the long run

The fact that we are able to live in such rough communities at all, to pay taxes, to buy a ticket on the bus and to go to the cashier at the gas station instead of getting into the car from the pump, is essentially due to the action of three factors: cooperation, punishment and reputation. The exact relationship between these three influences is still an area of research. Apart from that, the opinion about it is naturally subject to social influences – the necessity of punishment, for example, was not very popular for some time.

Cooperation has existed ever since man was a human being (and has also been observed in animals). Cooperation is always worthwhile when a certain goal is easier to achieve together than alone. Naturally, the first thing that comes to mind is the big game hunting of prehistoric man, but cooperation also pays off when it comes to gathering food: Less time is spent searching if you share information freely than if you have to search an area already searched by others over and over again. Just with this example it becomes however already clear that a Freerider has here easy play: Always tapping others, but never contributing anything oneself, is economically the most favorable solution for the individual.

The hope of many Bitcoin fans on a more steady price development has been initially not conserved. After the crawpted food brought after market volumes on Tuesday morning again a record high, she broke in the afternoon.
