"Today the main concern is to protect the nation against a repetition of the inflationary practices of governments... With the exception of a few specialists, nobody becomes aware in time of the fact that a radical change in monetary matters has occurred. Laymen... do not realize that it is not commodities that are becoming dearer but their tender that is becoming cheaper. What is needed is to alarm the masses in time... The President, Congress, & the Supreme Court have clearly proved their inability or unwillingness to protect the common man, the voter, from being victimized by inflationary machinations. The function of securing a sound currency must pass into new hands, into those of the whole nation. As soon as Gresham's law begins to come into play & bad paper drives good gold out of the pockets of the common man, there should be a stir. Perpetual vigilance on the part of the citizens can achieve what a thousand laws & dozens of alphabetical bureaus with hordes of employees never have & never will achieve; the preservation of a sound currency." --- Ludwig von Mises 1934 _The Theory of Money & Credit_ pp 494-495 |
"Data in computer-readable (digital) form is even easier to snoop on than voice communication. It can be scanned for particular items -- phone numbers, names, words, or phrases, for example. And it can be altered as well as tapped, by anyone with sufficient information about how the particular system works, providing growing opportunities for computer crime -- for example, embezzlement (shifting funds from other accounts to the criminal's), fraud (entering false information to make a company look good, thereby raising the price of its stock), and theft of data (gaining access to industrial secrets, marketing plans, etc.)." --- Sylvia Sanders: "Data Privacy: What Washington Doesn't Want You to Know"; _Reason_; 1981 January; pp 26 |

Except that computer people use 2 as a base raised to multiples of powers of 10, instead of 10 raised to multiples of powers of 3 because powers of 2 are handier for them, but they also want to stay somewhat close to the values of 10 most folks are used to.

"Although his own political thinking did not place the restoration of monarchy among his primary political aims, [Alfred Hugenberg] excluded those who had expressed doubts about the monarchy from the [German Nationalist] party. But more important was the recklessness of his attacks against the government. In July 1929 he, together with the leader of the Stahlhelm, Franz Seldte (1882-1947), the chairman of the Pan-German League, Heinrich Class (b. 1868), & Adolf Hitler, formed a national committee that launched a drive for a plebiscite on a law 'against the slavery of the German people'. The law declared the signing of the Young Plan an act of high treason, for which the chancellor & the ministers, & originally the Reich president as well, were to be sent to prison. The whole text showed the infamous Nazi stamp, & the same foul language dominated the public agitation that the committee unleashed... [The party split up. He'd given] Hitler's party, which so far had been considered the lunatic fringe even by anti-republicans, an air of respectability. It also opened important financial sources from among the industrialists. And Hugenberg mistakenly believed that he would profit by vying with the demagoguery of the Nazis. Hitler & his lieutenants could always be shriller, more offensive, & more convincing than the paunchy Hugenberg in his cut-away coat." --- Hajo Holborn 1969 _An History of Modern Germany 1840-1945_ pp 643-644 |
