Government confiscation of private wealth in the name of perceived inequality, should be examined very carefully when modern economies are structurally indebted, and budget for foreign policy objectives over domestic improvement.

Well, the alternative is wonderful stuff like civil forfeiture law. Whereby a policeman without evidence or proof of criminal wrongdoing can take that $2000 in your glovebox in the name of a defacto beneficiary (the state), because on a balance of probabilities he thinks he has a better claim than you do.

Of course those arguments apply to governments as well, since they don't derive their law-making authority by claim to divinity - at least in modern times. Why should a government be specially privileged over a citizens wishes to provide for their family and/or community after death?

The income was taxed when it was earned. What reason is there to tax it twice?

> how you feel about in increase in unearned income flowing to the wealthy I guess.

Or about how you feel about the government's use of it's citizen's resources. Why should wealth earned by the breadwinner of the family, not remain with the family? It's arguably better than expropriating citizen's wealth to fund expaditionary warfare.

Nobody suggested there was a parallel multi-process operating system running, with full bus arbitration, and mmio capability.

Edit. Not sure why I am being downvoted reddit style. Every-time these threads come up - it's necessary to trot out an explanation of the basic differences between ARC core, psp, arm cortex and trustzone etc, and who uses what technology, what is known about the software/OSes that are running - jvm versus minix-os, amt versus ME etc, what is new knowledge, what is official, and what has been uncovered from private research. I base my statements about lack of general awareness on these topics from actually following HN submissions.

Just a few days ago, someone in a thread was speculating on using low-level op-codes in bootstrap code to subvert the BIOS, apparently in complete ignorance of the depth of the embedded stack.

Also which internal or external groups lead the code development of those processes?

Is the code accessible to any employee/engineer with a technical relationship to IME?

Is a JVM really a lot more stuff than Minix OS?

Also, you don't need to resort to property torts, when there are crimes of stealing and fraud and statutory remedies like restitution available.

The fundamentals that make bitcoin so scarce and difficult to mine/acquire, are what gives it value.

As a matter ordinary meaning, I also feel it makes sense to talk about more strongly typed languages, because they can express 'stronger' guarantees about behavior. Eg. a proof that the code cannot deadlock.

Why would any professional wish to waste time learning the complex compatibility matrix of USB-C consumer cabling?
