Exactly, the tv show Oz by Tom Fontana covers the subject entirely. When Tim McManus tries to build a micro-society to prepare convicted fellows to live in a real society, it shows how it's very hard and that many disciplines such as psychology, sociology, philosophy... are very much needed.

>> The government also plans to share data, in some cases, with the private sector.

Ouch!

We're in 2016 and Ghost in the shell story take place around 2030. Sound like Masamune Shirow's book will be the George Orwell's book of our generation...

Well, It's not like we are gonna wear an EEG 24/7 just to unlock our smartphone or pass security at work...

I think that we can build a device that can capture a brainwave et replay it.

Is it an IDE ? Can you provide a YouTube demo ?

As you implied, we're gonna see a bunch of scammer... I hope that they will not deteriorate the VR / AR image

Maybe it's time to use Git with Storj ?

> Prices on the exchanges may get worse for a while...

What time scale are we talking about? (ns, μs, ms or even several minutes ?)

Ahem... What will happen if we take down a tower ? Or cause interference to the straight line between uk and germany ?

If anyone has any idea (a fault-tolerant design maybe) or impacts on the financial markets ?

The article is about blockchain technology (the title is misleading). So the append-only feature is implied, at least I hope so.

The goals here seem to be data immutability and protection against tampering data. (like in spy movies, when someone hacks a government server to add fake passport data, this should be impossible)

Also as elmar pointed out, they can have a robust network with no single point of failure.

Do they intend to keep the blockchain private ? I mean, at some point, someone will break into their private network (partners come and go...) and get a copy of the blockchain... Maybe even add a block on top of it.

This is a serious security flaw.

> Just from personal experience, playing video games in VR is cool and all but when people can watch a movie from the perspective of someone inside the scene or meet up with people in a live-scanned remote environment, I think they'll be hooked.

Exactly, I definitely want to feel this in the first fps movie.

Hot pursuit, Steven Seagal's fights, gunfights... It should be freaking immersive.

Are they trying to re-invent smartphones (or tablets) ? Sorry but IMO it seems useless and irrelevant mainly because of Cloud services => it will become rapidly personal (netflix, spotify, solu accounts...), no way I'll give that to a friend

I grew up in France; gradutated from University (so not from French Ivy League known as "Les Grandes Ecoles"). I'm currently in a consulting position and tried to launch several startups-ideas at the end of my MS degree with the "Auto-Entrepreneur" status and it was very difficult to find investors because french people are very pessimistic by nature and the atmosphere created by the state and the media is really oppresive. It means that if you fail (and I failed), people around you will break your mood down (very hard to handle that).

You need to find your team of talented people who will be ready to use their own money to reduce costs. It's almost impossible to recruit someone you don't personnaly know without a large amount of cash. Splitting equity seems to be not attractive enough with french tech engineers...

The one and only advantage in France is that you can restart your life because you can easily avoid indebtedness in case of failure.

When Snowden exposed facts about MAC addresses, it's very scary knowing that IoT is coming in our life. I'd like to have a firmware for wireless electronic devices that can use a random MAC address every thirty minutes without using actual spoofing tools that are easy to use only on desktop/laptop/smartphone. I want the same tools for my bluetooth headset, my car wireless devices and so on...
