That won't get you put on a watchlist. You have to a little more than access it. I bet that millions before this post was even created have accessed that document.

I would strongly encourage to pursue formal CS coursework even at a community college. Most coding bootcamps are very profit driven and not really interested in the needs of their students. He will be much better off in the long term.

indeed it is. I have read about cases where they have intercepted a target's cell phone at a repair shop and had it modified with an explosive device, then used it after the target had the phone back in their posession.

You can still eliminate the trusted 3rd party with other blockchain stacks. Bitcoin pioneered the concept as social experiment mostly that happened to become a currency by accident. The concept of a "Federal Reserve" and "the elimination of a trusted third party" are in direct opposition of each other, so Bitcoin doesn't even make sense from that point of reference either.

Any chance for a Android port? If not, what would you suggest as a currently available mediation app for Android?

but why Bitcoin? It's flawed on so many levels (Proof of Work, hard to extend, etc). Why not actually engage DARPA, or some equivalent organization to research and properly design a cryptocurrency that meets and possibly exceeds the current requirements of the Federal Reserve. I'm laughing too, and how ignorant our gov is when it comes to technology. So many things they could experiment with: Ethereum and Hyperledger would be a good start.

From the article: "...but they will not have the ability to train the model itself on new information and data because the model is air-gapped."

so unless MS does periodic dumps its going to be out of date real quick. So much for the air gap.

When I was doing software at (In Flight Entertainment) IFE Vendor, people used the "Emirates card" to basically shift priorities at moment's notice. Emirates buys a lot of planes, and subsequently a lot of IFE systems, so they are pretty hard to ignore.
