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.

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.

When dealing with a monster, one is best advised to not share what one needs to do to destroy it, and that is especially relevant whenever it may imagine itself well established as an all pervasive, ubiquitous and inquisitive embedded beast, for such can provide succour for monstrous defence, one shares what killed it in a time and space from which it cannot re-emerge to re-invent itself in another alternative guise and corrupt phorm.

Additionally, private entities and investors will have to warn the government about any prospective transactions regarding sensitive sectors such as artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, and space.
All transactions and activities regarding artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, and space prospect in sensitive sectors.

You are an old man who thinks in terms of nations and peoples. There are no nations. There are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no Third Worlds. There is no West. There is only one holistic system of systems. One vast and immane, interwoven, interacting, multi-varied, multi-national dominion of dollars. Petro-dollars, electro-dollars, multi-dollars, reichmarks, rands, rubles, pounds and shekels.
It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things today. That is the atomic, and sub-atomic and galactic structure of things today.

What do you think the Russians talk about in their Councils of State? Karl Marx? They get out their linear programming charts, statistical decision theories, mini-max solutions, and compute the price-cost probabilities of their transactions and investments, just like we do.
We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies, Mr Beale. The world is a college of corporations, inexorably determined by the immutable bye-laws of of business. The world is a business, Mr Beale. It has been since man crawled out of the slime.

And there are a very fortunate few, particularly and especially so in the fields of quantum, where a bit of this can be a byte of that and something else together altogether quite different and disturbing, exciting and destructive, who are in the extremely enviable position of being worthy of being obscenely richly rewarded in as close to absolute secrecy as is physically possible, either for agreeing to not presently further share what sensitive information and earth-shattering intelligence they may be suspected of definitely having for sharing and trading, until such times as others themselves may also be able to make and take fuller advantage of it, or agreeing to subsequently share it with a carefully selected and highly appreciative few, although that latter option does add the twin complicating problem of deciding who be worthy, and who decides who be worthy, to an already exhaustive equation.
It doesn’t take one to be an Einstein to know what is the better for all, simpler route root to boot and enjoy until such times as definite difficulties are equitably and amicably resolved, …… but where madness and stupidity have a tenuous hold on the reality of others, one can always be surprised and terrified as a result of some nonsensical decisions taken around some round tables in some high offices and around some high tables in some oval offices.
Humanity has a long history and is very well known to excel in getting things serially disastrously wrong because of a lack of seriously advanced intelligence.
