Right, that's why they're both badasses (was, in the case of Dr Buss. RIP)

"I'd just start another social networking site. I kind of like the one I already have." That's like what Jerry Buss always said about why he wouldn't sell the Lakers. If he had all of that money, he'd just want to buy the Lakers.

They protect it from counterfeiting - they don't regulate money laundering.

You can speculate in real currencies without adhering to any special regulations, so there is no reason to think they would try to twist the word 'exchange' here to mean that.

Can drive a big rig through that loophole though, if it's that simple. i.e. convert to Euros and convert that to dollars elsewhere - or buy something of value and then sell it on ebay etc etc.

Are you sure it applies to speculators? Can you quote that part?

Good catch. Looks like miners can only avoid being classified an MSB if they use their mined coins to buy goods and services. If they simply convert them to cash, they'll have to follow the regulations.

What that means is that people mining bitcoins don't need to adhere to the regulations for Money Servicing Businesses (MSBs): http://www.fincen.gov/financial_institutions/msb/ However bitcoin exchanges/wallets (i.e. Coinbase) will need to

What they don't like are spammers and this is going to trip their spam blocking mechanisms pretty quickly. Best way I've found is to use your own mailserver or alternatively to use something like Sendgrid.

by that rationale, programmers are a commodity with a range of skill levels. right?
223.
by wilfra 14y ago
Why? Because taxi drivers are blue collar workers and people perceive them as commodities who should feel lucky to be employed. It works the other way also. Try getting sympathy from a mechanic because Yahoo wont let you earn 6 figures writ

Ya I don't get that either. It's a race to the bottom. I mean I love finding diamonds in the rough that don't know what they're worth. I have a guy who does Rails jobs for me, used to work for Microsoft, went to a top Indian technical colle

Have you used elance? I've been posting multiple jobs per month for years and 90% of proposals I receive are PHP devs from India that charge ~$10/hour. That's not a bad thing. Many of those guys are highly skilled and I hire them often.

Looks ridiculous at first glance but that's actually not unreasonable. The value in Gmail/Hotmail/Yahoo is first and foremost their users. Next is the technical infrastructure to support all of those users. The front-end website and basic f

You know what every lawyer in the history of the World ever said to the question 'do I need the services of an attorney to help me with this?' 'Yes' usually followed by the amount of the retainer they'll need. Your lawyer seems to have done

"maybe discuss with an actual attorney before you leap, eh? " Never ask a barber if you need a haircut.

I was going on the assumption that I was guilty ;) Being falsely accused of a crime and incorporating are not analogous. I agree that for some things paying an expensive lawyer is worth it. Incorporating is not one of them.

If you are a large and respected firm that handles plea bargains with a cookie cutter template for 90% cheaper than the cost of a private attorney, sure, we have a deal.

by wilfra 14y ago
You're trying to convince yourself, as buyers of all expensive things do, that you didn't waste your money. I'm sorry to inform you, you probably did. I've done it too. However, it's best to learn from our mistakes, not try to convince othe

"you're asking for trouble if you don't really dig in with a knowledgeable attorney who knows your industry, your goals, and how to keep you out of court." You sound like an expensive lawyer - or somebody who pays a lot of money to one. Thi

I got a secret for you. Google is not the only search engine capable of sending significant traffic to your site. They are also by far the most sophisticated and strict about preventing manipulation.

The open source and free software community is dominated by programmers. There aren't a lot of designers and there are even fewer sales and marketing people. And it shows in what they release. I found it refreshing to see an exception.

It's getting better and it's now overtaken Safari as my default when I need a second browser. However I'll never consider switching back until they completely eliminate popups of any kind. I never want to be asked to restart the browser or

Good stuff but are the March active user projections taking into account all of the traffic you got yesterday for announcing the pivot?

You're implying that it could possibly be inaccurate, so I assume the opposite scenario has played out before and has been documented. Can you provide a link or source?
