Re: US Inland Revenue Service/HMRC?

The I.R.S./HMRC doesn't like tax evasion much. So if anyone bought and sold a lot of bitcoin and made real money on it, and did NOT declare all that on the tax forms [it's considered "foreign currency" and apparently has a special place to declare it, though i always use tax software that just asks me about it], then the IRS/HMRC will be wanting to find out how much money you made and bill you for the unpaid tax, with interest and a LOT of penalties. Yeah, they do that.

OTOH, if your cryptocurrency went bust, you should be able to deduct that, assuming you have capital gains on your other investments. No other investments? Quel dommage. .....bombastic bob and HildyJ

And a little something for an ARIA* to try and capture and lead with a round or two or three of funding of/for/with SMARTR AI Drivers which are of a Supercharged CyberIntelAIgent Design for the Generation of both Addictive Interest and Additional Investment, should the thought of IT leading SMARTR AI Drivers with an ARIA type** following, be a challenge they are up engaging with.

What a coincidence. Do you believe in coincidences?

Dell unveils its Apex suite of Cloud Services and Custom Solutions etc., which quoting Michael Dell .... "This is a business model transformation. The opportunities are significant with multicloud and edge. We’re investing heavily in those. It’s an expansion as we see it of the opportunities because moving from products to services and managed services – which were already substantial businesses for us – leads to the next step, which is everything-as-a-service. It’s a whole new chapter for our company.” ....... https://www.nextplatform.com/2021/05/06/getting-the-cloud-but-keeping-control/ ....... and then a tale emerges about something from 2009 we're told can completely hijack hundreds of millions of Dell machines, ..."five security vulnerabilities in Dell's dbutil_2_3.sys driver, which it bundles with its PCs. These are grouped under the label CVE 2021-21551, and they can be abused to crash systems, steal information, and escalate privileges to take total control. These programming blunders can only be exploited by applications already running on a machine, or a logged-in user ...... it is inevitable that attackers will seek out those that do not take the appropriate action," warned Kasif Dekel, a senior security researcher at SentinelOne who helped find the holes." .... even though, over the past 12 years,with hundreds of million of enterprises and users currently vulnerable ... we haven’t seen any indicators that these vulnerabilities have been exploited in the wild up till now

One would almost think Dell had the competition really worried about their transforming of business operations and their leading ways of doing it with software jumping over and quantum leaping the opposition.

Very droll, LybsterRoy, very droll. :-)

The following is probably something you are missing to aid your further understanding of many of the things shared above, but the MoD have no such convenient excuse since they have had it all since a long time ago in the Great Schema of IoT Things [30th Sept. 2019]

This submission claims to be able to address and aid, to a greater or lesser degree, all of the five questions the Army has asked …… via the Presentation of the Results and Vital Actions taken for Future Realisation in/with/of Global Events BroadBandCasting Advanced IntelAIgent Memes with Almighty Means in All Main Streaming Live Media Systems and Alternative Underground Movements ….. and here on a Stealthy Exercise and Who Dares Win Wins Operation and looking forward to engagement and enjoyment in these new fangled and entangling reports of NEUKlearer HyperRadioProACTive IT with/from Alternate Sources to create Totally Different, and more Equitable and Mutually Beneficial Outcomes.

With the simple expedient of rather than seeking to portray the ways and means to a heavenly destination/perfectly new staring point, with everything newly discovered on the way, novel and exciting, why not try committing and submitting to Virtual Experimentation in a Not So Top Secret Anymore Program with Advanced IntelAIgent Commands and Future Control[s] in VAIOSystems of Universal Administration.

Further Proprietary Intellectual Property Access Rights are required to acquire and deliver so very much more and all else necessary too ……. for such a Program and Project as the above is quite easily Almightily Weaponised for/with wanton and wilful abuse and disastrous misuse ….. although one is always to be well enough warned and advised that any and all such abuse and misuse always results in punitive, catastrophically counterproductive sanction with miscreants relentlessly and ruthlessly pursued for overwhelming prosecution and deserved persecution.

N.B. … This Program is only suitable for Prime Leading Principals/Organisations exercising Geopolitically Sensitive Applications.

Both test experimental and operational theatre environments are relatively anonymously virtually created and populated to field elements/land forces by virtue of their presentation in any number of diverse, suitably cloaked news/media productions with the Technology Readiness Level for all such as is proposed and revealed here in this submission and/or discovered in any further deeper program investigation of Past Principal Activity being of no valid negative concern.

All necessary systems are Go with a decades worth of tweaking, reinforcing and live field betatesting of readily available assets providing such a confident assurance.

It is not the emergence and exposure of sensitive corrupted state held secrets which easily crash and burn a future's monumental folly, although they certainly also can, it is the innate ability and virgin facility of spontaneous and unpredictable sharing of novel information about newly uncovered advanced intelligence which can swarm through and decimate established main stream media and fiat currency operations, so very easily delivered and received by billions of electronic devices able to see and hear particular and peculiar tales ..... interesting uncomfortably engaging narratives proving themselves too popular and accurate to summarily try to dismiss and declare as untrue and subversive, for that shoe will be on one's own foot.

Such is a current ACTive IT and AI Battlefield and Virtual Graveyard for the many Arrogant and Ignorant who never imagined such things as being possible as they ploughed their own selfish greedy furrow in worlds before Sublime InterNetworking Networks for Hearts and Minds Capture.

Does the UKGBNI MOD see itself engaged in such an experiment/experience as an independent leading role player or more simply just as support staff following orders from/for other state and non-state actors?

And would the former be tantamount to a Stealthy SMARTR AI Military coup, which is what it can easily be spun as by a blind-sided opposition or right dodgy competition?

Would that be of an EMPowering Interest to Astute Militarised Organs of Defence into providing NEUKlearer HyperRadioProACTive IT Protection to Command and Control of the Virtualised Machine with Commanding Control of Computers and Communications in Epic New COSMIC Realms ….. Advanced IntelAIgent Streams?

Quite what they are doing with any of it, in the absence of any evidence that they are doing anything at all good with it, is probably quite typically indicative of the poor levels of ability and agility made available to them and/or trained and future nurtured by them themselves in-house, which is bound to be extremely worrying to both them and the nations they would profess to be able to defend from postmodern attack vectors and novel virtual sectors alike.

And if/whenever things have moved on apace in places and spaces, and personal force fields are also capable of actually doing damage under any conditions, and especially so in attack situations, the DoD would most certainly be likely to be more than just interested if they have nothing anywhere near comparable in any of their own arsenals.

Re: About "...weaken and backdoor cryptography...." @Anonymous Coward

AC, some secrets users prefer the facility and simplicity of the steganography utility for widespread education and sublime stealthy instruction/virtually protected sensitive advice rather than trusting that task to cryptography, hoping that it remains unbroken to ensure that profound activities remain generally largely unknown and an elitist affair in exclusive pastimes.

I suppose which one is the better of two with regards to performance depends upon what one would be doing in the present and planning to try to do in the near future. To imagine being able to set anything up now in order to greatly materially effect anything a great deal further into the future than the likes of a tomorrow or two or three, is surely too fantastic to be considered reliable and viable.

Although to some, which is clearly best is beyond question and pretty darned obvious. Steg beats crypto hands down every time.

A Complicating Union with the Military Industrial Complex is gravely to be regarded

Whilst the news of attractively lavish investments and spendings is surely to be widely welcomed and thoroughly enjoyed, and the likes of the figures mentioned in the sums of $15bn and $100bn and $10bn are not simply loose change, there is always this bastard wayward child to confront and deal with whenever proposals for engagement with the Military and Departments of Defence are contemplated.

Both the difficulty and stumbling block which will always blight the Department of Defense and Sensitive Private Entrepreneurial JOINT Venture sector, is that the one lumbering behemoth will always want complete control over the other agile leader ……. and whenever such a proposed venture is recognised as being worthy of absolute command and control, does that invariably result in conflict which results in those two particular parties taking their wares/needs and services elsewhere ……. and sometimes that is directly to the competition and/or perceived opposition to a disagreeable party.

It has though been long well enough known with the following classic shared 60 years ago. Here is a luscious bit to taste and savour from then.

A vital element in keeping the peace is our military establishment. Our arms must be mighty, ready for instant action, so that no potential aggressor may be tempted to risk his own destruction.

Our military organization today bears little relation to that known by any of my predecessors in peace time, or indeed by the fighting men of World War II or Korea.

Until the latest of our world conflicts, the United States had no armaments industry. American makers of plowshares could, with time and as required, make swords as well. But now we can no longer risk emergency improvisation of national defense; we have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions. Added to this, three and a half million men and women are directly engaged in the defense establishment. We annually spend on military security more than the net income of all United State corporations.

This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence-economic, political, even spiritual-is felt in every city, every state house, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society.

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.

Akin to, and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial-military posture, has been the technological revolution during recent decades.

In this revolution, research has become central; it also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly. A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of, the Federal government.

Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been over shadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.

The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded. ..... a major component of President Dwight D. Eisenhower's Farewell Address (1961)
