It still doesn't clearly address the question of how those who mine bitcoin should be taxed. I guess your cost basis is a prorated portion of what you've spent on bitcoin mining. Very hard to do the accounting.

The IPO is seeking to raise $250M. The S1 doesn't actually say how many shares they are planning to offer, so you can't say what the valuation would be. I'm guessing somewhere between 5-10 times the $250M.

No offense to you personally, but whenever I see someone proposing a union of any kind, if it doesn't involve real safety issues, I see someone trying to hold down those who can excel and protect themselves from more competent up and c

Not surprising considering the geniuses at the CA DMV think that "Who did you vote for in the last presidential election?" is a good security question. I write about six checks a year. Two of them are auto registration because the

jdk8 completely breaks the entire value we get out of using joda-time, namely, that instants are unambiguous. It actually recommends using time and date without time zone.

Very different circumstances. For one, the SF poster a year ago had contacted AirBnB and was reporting on their complete lack of assistance. This article seems to be saying that AirBnB is supposed to do the impossible -- vet people more tho

The superman penny shaving attack is not related to rounding behavior. You may multiply with fractional values, but when you add or subtract from a ledger, you are doing so in fixed precision (usually cents). If you were calculating somethi

I read the first paragraph. Either the author doesn't think Japan is a developed country, or he isn't aware that they still have capital punishment. So I assume the rest of the article is similarly well-researched.

I'd like to see the subset of the answers from people who have actually maintained a successful and widely used API. I'm skeptical that most clients are sophisticated enough to deal with the pure REST dream. Specifically, changing

It won't work on any manual made since maybe 1990. The starter won't engage unless the clutch is in. Note that it is possible (with some luck) to start a car with a clutch that won't disengage this way and you might be able t

I think the real lesson here is never get in a Tesla driven by an automotive journalist. You have a median time of about two hours until it runs out of power or spontaneously explodes.

This isn't universal. German is a counter example -- the formal Sie derives from the third person plural, while it still preserves Du and Ihr for informal second person with singular and plural. I don't know Spanish well, but it p

Ideally, the money supply grows at the same rate as the economy. In this case "the economy" is the segment using Dogecoin. If you can't get it right, most people consider it better to have a bit of inflation rather than defla

I didn't realize how much people were consciously trying to get in on a bubble. It's like people are offended that the developers are trying to create a viable currency rather than a ponzi scheme.

Everyone believes in their company, even the people who work at companies that turn out to be duds. If 90% of your wealth exists only in the theoretical value of your pre-IPO stock, that's not a good balanced portfolio.

I cannot even find any guidance from Apple on recommended patterns for which Apple IDs should be shared, which should be individual, and so on. This isn't even a configuration option, it's a hack that happens to work. (And there&#

They should have rejected your app until they had an Oauth solution in place. That's the right answer to avoid training Apple users to be fishing targets. Sunrise doesn't have a (known) security problem. Sunrise happened to reveal

The text of the ruling does not in any way say that bloggers are journalists, it says that it's irrelevant whether someone is a journalist for purposes of libel. Note also that earlier courts had rule that Cox was not entitled to prote

Strikes me as pretty meaningless because while they compare, for example, the number of recalls of toy animals vs. musical instruments, there's no scale showing how many different types of each product are sold. It's entirely poss

I wasn't aware until now that "city planning" was so much marxist navel gazing. Am I supposed to just assume that rising rents and gentrification are a bad thing?

Well, the company could certainly be in hot water for selling to a non-accredited investor, but I've yet to see anyone who can point to a penalty that can be levied against the lying investor.
