Immigrants driving cars 12 hours a day werent the ones making money off medallions. Rich investors bought medallions as very lucrative investments, until Uber came along.

Yes, but I think you could write off the losses, so might equal out if it crashed to 0.

I've been finding that Google Maps has better getting worse in the last year or so at giving simple directions. Their turn-by-turn interface and algorithms have lead to many frustrating situations that it just didn't do before. F

But if there was a “good will” value then you would had to have paid taxes on the value at the time of aquiring the asset (when the fork happened). You can’t just be gifted something of substantial value and not pay taxes on it.

What advantage does that give over a more traditional toll road approach? I.e. Raise money, built road, charge toll.

It might not be able to mass produce their changes. Vehicles are designed around the production line. Think ikea flat pack furniture vs a custom carved table.

These are free accounts so if you flat ban it’s easy for them to pop up again and slightly alter their technique to avoid detection.

Almost no one I know buys a whole Bitcoin. You don’t have to put in 10K to get started.

I like that they provide great privacy protections when they can by law. Most companies don’t. Very few companies put so much effort into privacy. I don’t expect them to break laws. And I don’t expect them to pull out of entire countries, l

The stuff you buy has value. By law you have to report that value. It would probably be harder for them to catch though, but if suddenly you have a new house you couldn’t afford then they would probably audit you.

From what I’ve read, they’ve controlled for variables like this. Pure water drinkers don’t see the same benefit. But I’ll be honest, I haven’t looked into it too thouroghly.

I assume that companies can deny services that cost them money if you don’t consent to services that create revenue. Is this true?

As you said, moving money isn’t money laundering. No prosecuter is getting a conviction from people moving money.

The article says they’ve built a $100 million research center for the purpose of building radiation hardened robots for this environment. I’m sure as they learn techniques and technology for building these robots it will progress quicker. A

That’s exactly why they need this. They are running out of money. $250k reservations provide cash now and the promise of a semi might convince more investors to invest.

Think about it as randomly picking (catching) from a bag that is 49% heads and 51% tails (time spent in that position in air).

One thing not mentioned in this article is that there has been a lot of new housing development inside of the reservoir (upstream). So they had to start releasing water earlier because they couldn’t let it fill up as much as originally plan

Governments are starting to realize that “500 year floods” or “100 year floods” are happening a lot more often than anticipated.

Had a damn failed there would have been far more loss of human life. Army corps definitely made the right call. They were getting sued either way.

It makes sense as a deposit to make sure you show up to trial. But in practice, with bail bonds, it’s a fee. The financial amounts are rarely in line with what it would take to get someone to show up trial.

You’re misinformed. It’s nearly exactly the same as Uber, especially now that Uber does tip. You just get out of the car at the end. Next time you open the app you either rate and tip or just rate.

If you already have a conflict diamond you already funded the mining effort. Keeping or throwing it away has no effect.

And how should the government define “tax avoidance”? With tax law? Oh wait, they already do it, and you get pentalized if you break it. The problem isn’t Apple, the problem is the government can’t get its act together to pass tax reform.
