A good question. 145,070,000 tax returns were processed through September 2017[1]. If the rate was one return out of every two hundred, there would have been ~725,000 audits conducted. Multiple sources I found online reported “just over 1 m

Anecdotally, it's my understanding that rolling all gains forward isn't an uncommon practice for non-professional traders -- especially during bull markets.

I agree. It's suspect because the numbers don't add up. From the article: " [...]Tom Lee notes that U.S. households owe an estimated twenty five billion dollars in capital gains taxes due to crypto gains." Total market c

I look at it differently: Brick-and-mortar plus mail-order was a viable business model for decades. Building the network infrastructure and software interconnections to move from that state to today’s online commerce and delivery model took

I’m unclear if you were asking this tongue-in-cheek, or if you really were interested and simply used an arbitrary asset for your example, but in case it was the later, here’s my understanding: Do you account typically report FIFO or LIFO?

I’m often cynical, but I have to ask...what makes this “predictable” to you? Are you commenting on the evolving narrative which shifts the responsibility from a vehicle-initiated accident to Elaine Herzberg’s actions, or are you decrying so

You bring up a fair point. Excessive prompts are equally dangerous. “Click fatigue” is a real thing and you can quickly shift from a state of “let me know when something differs from the expectations” to “why are you making me agree to ever

I agree completely. As a designer I fear I’ve missed something like this any time a feature or function I’ve worked on is released.

TLDR; Ill-conceived design is only part of the problem. —— You are assuming the entry form was put together with the assistance of a UX designer. In my experience, back office or configuration software rarely is seen as important enough by

This is a painful reminder for those of us who routinely design form-based interfaces to ensure ambiguous fields are explicitly understood by the user before entry or called out during verification of the submission.

That was my thought, too. Other than this report, has there been verifiable evidence the device even works? The photo stagings remind me of ones I’d use on a pre-release marketing site for a vapor-ware product to test demand and a price poi

A single S5 caused the interference? Something doesn’t add up with this story. A fleet of Antminers, perhaps, but even that would be unlikely. Edit (addendum): Details about the stock unit’s noise output; Antminer S5 runs at 61 to 65 dB at

I hope so. The sooner the general narrative shifts from “USDT is a valuable hedge in a down market” to “USDT’s structure doesn’t make a lot of sense, and it’s risky to use” the better. If it’s going to implode, I’d prefer it happened now, r

Have an upvote. You are correct, but even banks and brokerages have limits (AFAIK) that they can invoke as needed. Those soft-caps are significantly above $10k/daily, however. My main point was with Coinbase you can do the required pre

You can request an increase to your limits. For a customer with a large, verified portfolio I’m sure Coinbase would work with you if you needed to move funds in large amounts. It may not be overnight, and there may be additional fees, but i
