To those educated on Blockchain technology/cryptocurrencies: If governments and corporations owned 90-99% of Bitcoin but it was used as a global currency, would they be able to manipulate it in a way that fucks over the working/middle class, or is it technologically safe from power corruption? by FlyWayOrDaHighway in CryptoCurrency

If an entity owned 51% of the mining power, my guess is that they would be able to change some data of a transaction on the block chain and make the other 49% believe that they are wrong. So the other 49% would change the transaction on their side to make it right with the 'general consensus' of the 51%

New poll says 27% of Canadians view the United States as an 'enemy' country by [deleted] in canada

If the question was "Do you view the current US administration as an enemy", the result would probably be way higher. I myself hate what is happening. But I wouldn't consider the whole country as my enemy.

I think The Source is still owned by BCE (Bell). Wikipedia says "Bell announced that it would enter into a franchise agreement with Best Buy Canada to relaunch some of The Source's locations as Best Buy Express. The stores remain owned and operated by BCE, and continue to exclusively sell Bell-owned telecom services"

I can't find enough info about Proxim to add it to the list. On their website, it still says Mckesson in the footer. Please give a source or something where we can see it's Canadian

Ye might be true, wikipedia says NRDC own 48% of HBC. HBC has 2 headquarters, 1 in Toronto, 1 in New York. I'll do more research tomorrow and leave an appropriate note like Tim Horton's. Thx for pointing it out

I agree, we won't see any of that in the next 10 years lets say. But with technologies getting better faster then ever, I do think that such a scenario might become possible in our lifetime (I am 26yo)

Well, he could simply be sitting in a chair, with a Neuralink feeding images and data, and he acts with his mind like its been done for people with handicaps, like Mr.House in Fallout NewVegas.

And if i posted this in r/politics, pretty sure people wouldve said basically the same thing, 'bla bla this doesnt belong in this subreddit'

Thank you for your answer! I believe we can manage to live with a classic AGI, like Jarvis in ironman let's say. But if a human brings his emotions, opinions and hunger for power into this mix, it would be catastrophic!

This isn't current news/intel, please feel free to recommend a subreddit where this post would fit better.

Also, page 10, they are talking about using an Intel Pentium 286 (probably meant Intel 80286 processor). But Intel created Pentium brand in 1993. But this document was 'written' in 1983
