Bearer instruments are linked to money laundering and we largely outlawed in the US in the 80s in relationship to securities.

Reminder that most banks still don’t provide an oauth api for granting read only access to your account info, so we end up with scraping data and problems like this to solve. Plus there is a ton of completely unnecessary risk created here b

Yes, the transfer agent can ask for a key signing before moving funds, but they also need to be able to transfer WITHOUT the key. Examples would be a key loss or transfer of ownership due to court order. I don't know what the key is

Bearer has nothing to do with physicality. Anything controlled by a private key is a bearer instrument by definition because the person bearing the private key has custody of the asset. You're making up your own definition of transfer

What happens when someone steals someones private keys and transfers the tokens to their account? What happens when someone loses their private keys? The asset by US law is tied to them as a person, not a bearer instrument like a private ke

Another related issue is that tokens are bearer instruments controlled by whoever holds the right private keys. Most investments regulated in the US cannot legally be bearer instruments. This means there must be a ledger listing who owns wh

How do we know that the panda recall is tied to the trade war? Makes no sense since the article mentions that several other zoos in the US still have pandas. This seems like clickbait.

I have a lot of similar thoughts about Slack and also had the idea to go head to head with it a couple of years ago. I partnered with a PHD researcher who had expertise in the area of focus. Before I started building I launched a paid sales

An employee’s market value has nothing to do with the job openings I have available. You’re equating the two. When I do salary research I do it based on similar roles that are open. Let me give you a concrete example: A CS Phd applies to be

As an employer it is not my job to assess and pay an employee their market value. I’m not a career counselor. I have positions I need to fill and those have salaries associated with them. Someone who is overqualified might accept a role whe

I want to give a slightly different perspective on this as a cofounder of a startup. First of all it sounds like there was some really dishonest communication and there is no excuse for that. As far as salary goes, I absolutely cannot affor

No it’s not just as corrupt as all the rest. I agree there is corruption, but to equate corruption in all countries is bogus. Nuance is important in this case.
