That's how I do it with mutual fund shares, which would be a similar situation to Bitcoins due to it all technically being one "pot". If you use a tax-lot specific accounting method FIFO/LIFO/highest cost/other

The short answer is that there is no cutoff. There are certain cases based on the time you held the asset (long-term) and you having a low income, but most likely, tax is due on all capital gains, and regardless, they must be reported. htt

I suppose what you're saying is that Johnson (3%), Stein (1%) and other (0.7%) means that not everyone in the country voted for one of the two. While true, the relative difference between the two main contenders is what matters. Accord

> Trump lost the popular vote by a significant margin I'm not sure the facts support that statement. As of this comment: Trump: 59,341,446 Clinton: 59,578,989 That's a difference of just 237,543 votes, out of about 125 million

I actually have just, over the past few months, been playing all the Final Fantasy/Square games that I never experienced. I played them in the following order: FF4 (USA FF2), FF6 (USA FF3), Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, FF5, and FF7.

The sources mentioned in that article are ALA, which have conversion rates to the desired DHA/EPA that vary greatly between individuals [1]. Typically, something like 5% of ALA is converted to EPA and even less is converted to DHA. It&

Part of the issue is their desire to keep the product vegan. Instead of using known-safe, health-promoting sources of polyunsaturated (O3/O6) fats like fish oil, they use algal sources, which have very little data supporting them as sa

Query parameters are encrypted if you are using HTTPS. The domain/host name (e.g. news.ycombinator.com) obviously is not protected, since the DNS lookup is required and the server (resolved IP) may host multiple sites. Seeing the hostn

To some degree, this looks like premature optimization. That query (on the normalized tables), with the proper indexes and decent hardware, should be plenty fast, even with millions of rows. I would potentially start my optimization by cons

The situation is almost entirely the opposite of what you stated. Modern cars make more power while using less fuel [1][2], are way safer [3], more reliable [4], and are cheaper, relatively, than ever [5]. "Fun to drive" is subjec

To be fair, that small-town SE in Tennessee probably won't have much trouble saving for a house. On the contrary, making $100K, or just under, in Tennessee is going to make you comparably very well-off. The median home price in Nashvil

Generally, unless you have a specific medical condition that warrants restricting salt (kidney disease, high blood pressure), there's no need to worry about normal doses of salt in the diet. In fact, too little salt can actually be ver

This is not really ideal either, because the hash becomes the password. If an attacker got the hashes from your DB, he would only need to send the stolen hash to the server to authenticate. The ideal way to deal with passwords would be some

What, exactly, should Walmart's response to shoplifting be? The article seems to make a point of the low dollar-value of some of the items stolen vs. how much the police spend arresting the subjects. I fail to see why the value of the

Right, you just buy low, and sell high. It's so simple, I don't know why everyone doesn't do it. In reality, there's nothing statistically inconsistent with a 5 sigma outlier like Buffett.

Yeah, that would only be evaluated once, since the value of n doesn't change inside the loop.

It doesn't matter much for his test, because the compiler won't optimize it, but one can simplify the loop to only go from 2...n/2+1 e.g. change the line to: for(int a=2; a<n/2+1; a++) That would be the obvious optimi
