Yes, because the motivations behind money laundering are driven almost exclusively by crime. For purchases you wish to remain private, such as personally embarrassing products, there are 'anonymizing' but traceable services for you to save face with.

There are very few legitimate reasons to be concealing where you money came from or is going from the IRS, and they well aware of the intent behind the actions.

Money laundering is the process of concealing sources of money. If the IRS found out Western Union was trying to cover it's tracks of who sent/received money they would be investigated immediately. Laundering implies you have something to hide, most likely tax dollars or ill-received profits.

This will make things easy to use docker on my Exynos board, last time I tried it there was no ARM compatibility.

The problem with Altcoins is that they prove to be a perceivable threat to Bitcoin true believers and the perceived long-term value of their holdings.

Maybe I should clarify: it's one of the most directly irresponsible things I've seen unironically suggested here.

If you don't see the irresponsibility of implicating an unknowing third-party in a serious life ruining felony, I don't know what to tell you.

Given that this is most likely filled with vendors who are either agents or guys who have been popped and are now confidential informants, your statistics are way off.

Seriously? You don't think that sending a schedule I substance to an unknowing stranger through the mail and across state lines isn't irresponsible? Are you going to valiantly turn yourself in if your neighbors get raided?

If you get drugs shipped to your house, they will charge and probably convict you. Doesn't mean it would hold up in an appeal, but why would you risk an innocent's life, freedom, finances, and social standing just to order drugs off the internet?

If anyone is going to go down, it will be the doctors. The cops that went out of their way to anally violate a suspect will walk away, and absurd search warrants will continue to be issued on a flimsy notions.

The same search warrants that end up with your dog getting shot and possibly anyone else who might raise the slightest suspicion of being a threat to them in their midnight raid of your home.

Gubbamint is keeping the hungry from these bushels of bread not fit for human consumption, why can't they see the harm they're doing? Isn't bad food better than nothing?

realizing that something done poorly is better than nothing and requiring something better leads to nothing

Oh my god you actually typed it.

Or we can adequately fund our social programs so that they are held to a certain standard and don't depend on the whims of the middle and upper classes.

I may just be paranoid, but I'm convinced that when wearable passive cameras (glass) are culturally acceptable the first thing Google et al will be pushing for is an option to "pop in", and analyze your environment.

Imagine you could see through the eyes of your customer interacting with your brand or a competitor's. Imagine being able to see how your customers shop, what they're eating today, and more importantly a view of their network from their eyes.

It doesn't have to be that creepy, merely an agreement to let Google collect information while you shop based on GPS data seems innocent enough.

Advertising will get more insidious, someone convince me I'm wrong please (I'm being sincere, I don't want to hate technology).

Stop trying to defend yourself on the internet, follow through with the DCMA notice, and file a civil suit for libel.

I'm saying this because if you muddy the waters now it just taints things for when this goes to court.
