Absolutely, if you buy your coins with cash (ie using localbitcoins). You're still at the mercy of the volatility of the currency though.

Every online stock brokerage I've used lets anyone trade both before and after hours (Etrade, Schwab, etc). This is different from options or margin trading, where only registered accounts can use it.

I'm not too familiar with many other architectures, but MIPS has dcache "fill", "flush", and "lock" operations, so the user can both do a premature fill operation, or even lock data in the cache so it won&

What you are describing about banks is outright theft, which under any system would be punished. Even if courts did not exist, very few business would be that dumb to steal from their customers, because once details of it were known to the

Considering Reddit has 51 employees (Wikipedia figures, which could likely be out of date), and considering the site still goes down periodically even after being 9 plus years old, I'd definitely call Reddit a startup.

I believe this is related and not just a coincidence: in watching "How to Start a Startup" [1], Sam Altman specifically points out his skepticism of remote founders and remote teams. I personally am in agreement. Jump to 28:20 t

I have used Vultr's $5/month service for at least the past 6 months. It has only restarted once unexpectedly, and the CPU performance is quite impressive for that price.

A few years ago I watched "Sugar: The Bitter Truth" [1], by Dr Lustig of UCSF. It's a very interesting watch, which convinced me to change my diet away from most everything sugary, and put much more more fiber and fat into

See my other post, but if the evidence proves out that Alzheimer's is a brain-affecting form of diabetes, being a vegetarian would likely be a disadvantage from meat-eaters. By consuming less protein and fat in general than a carnivor

The latest research is pointing to Alzheimer's being another form of diabetes which attacks the brain, nick-named "Type 3 Diabetes" [1]. The cells in the brain become insulin resistant, first causing memory loss and brain fo

There has been a distortion in the markets lately with the value of cash. Over the long term, buying a share of any company (Amazon, Intel, Walmart) has to give a return to the holder of that share. Otherwise, you are trading cash to hold

Prostitution is illegal in California. Filming porn is legal. Are you aware of police arresting porn stars for prostitution while on camera?

You're missing the point. If the grounds are that ethically paying customers should have taxis licensed, why do those ethics not apply also to donated services, like car-pooling?

by pdq 12y ago
As mentioned below, not if there's a camera involved. Then both parties are "actors", and the service is legal.

It's pretty ridiculous that car-pooling (aka ride-sharing) is fully legal and unrestricted. However, the second you charge money for the same service, the regulators want to get involved to check for safety, inspections, and licensing.
