At least in the case of France, the point seems valid, and it's perhaps opposite of what you're assuming.

The modern French nation is actually a left-wing construct -- an intentional product of the French Revolution. The Kingdom of France was not really a unified nation-state as we understand them today. There were multiple languages and a rich spectrum of local identities. French subjects were not necessarily French-speaking: their native tongue could just as well be Provençal, Italian or something else, and the King didn't really care.

The Revolution triggered local counter-revolutions of people who didn't necessarily think themselves as French in the sense that the new government in Paris wanted them to. (The War in the Vendée was a particularly bloody local war even by Revolution standards: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_in_the_Vendée)

To counter the insurgencies and establish their new order, the Revolutionary authorities set about to explicitly design what a French citizen should be. The predominance of the French language was one element of this.

Most whitelabel home automation stuff runs on the Z-Wave protocol.

Zigbee is also fairly popular for some applications; it's what e.g., Philips Hue runs on.

Devices using either of these will generally pair with any hub with the appropriate radios like Smart Things.

There's additionally a class of home automation stuff that runs over WiFi; they more generally have proprietary communication protocols and I personally avoid them for the most part.
Ah, looked it up, and it seems they must have a separate protocol that they use for interconnect: https://nest.com/support/article/Are-my-Nest-Protects-still-.... And apparently it's even sort of a standard. Nifty :) Your comment about requiring wifi frightened me somewhat, but I guess they wanted to check Nest-specific things or something?
I can still see it as a great option for say shared hosting providers. Multiple times as many customers could be supported for the price they pay for Intel chips.
>Right, so we agree that this effectively reduces the amount of money the USFG spends on research; 5-2 < 5-0.

No, we don't. If the funding actually went to research, maybe, but it doesn't, and even then it's pretty convoluted. In any other program, if I get a grant from the government and use it to pay staff, they pay income tax on what I pay them, even though the money comes from a grant. That doesn't really mean the government spends less to fund grant programs.

>Removing tax incentives for government-funded research is exactly equivalent to reducing NSF/NIH funding.

No, it isn't. It's related, but not exactly equivalent. The money still goes to fund NSF/NIH projects, even if there is tax on that income the people were paid to do the research.

I doubt that there's a single full-time employee (in the US) that only costs them 50k/year. Total overhead costs are a lot higher than the employee's salary. I have no idea what the distribution of salaries look like, so this doesn't necessarily invalidate your point.
Grab 10 feet of 12 gauge wire and two alligator clips. Strip off about 3 inches of sheathing from the wire and feed it through the little hole in the clip. Now twist that wire really tight, you don't want it coming loose. Repeat for the other side of the wire. Now, grab one end and feed it under the dash and through the firewall. Drill a hole if you need to. Clip it to a strut housing or something metal like that. Now clip the other end to your bag. Grounded (maybe)!

The idea is to drag the entire ride hailing industry underwater long enough to drown out competitors, and the trick is to do this without drowning themselves in the process.

This is the nature of "predatory" pricing.

There is something to be said for volume and if a couple competitors die in the process then Uber's volume can only go up. Unfortunately their competitors have found a variety of ways to keep from being dragged down (eg: regulatory support of municipal taxi orgs) or ways to keep oxygen expenditure stable (eg: controlled expenditures through higher pricing and "friendlier" demeanor).

>but it has _nothing_ to do with "being analytical" at work and then having to "be empathetic" at home.

Intuitively that just doesn't make sense. It's just implausible that 8 hours of sitting at a computer and solving data pipeline problems puts someone in the same mindset as someone would have after 8 hours of performing therapy.

When I first moved to management, I was working on a very tough problem and I became tougher: more assertive and conclusive. It spilled over into my personal life and I was abrupt and unkind with someone who was very nice to me and I ruined the relationship.

Only the weak and undisciplined would say "I have to be this way because of my job" when it spills into their personal life. But to some degree, the professional becomes the personal for everyone and people who want to have successful relationship would do well to accommodate that.

Well, yes, if you want to do any significant amount of gaming on a computer, you'd want a dedicated GPU. If integrated GPUs meet your demands for gaming, you're better of with native Linux games and Wine for Windows casual games.

It sounds like you're better served by dual-booting then. Running a VM isn't a solution for everyone, just another option for some.

Try Adguard's DNS content blocker. I bought the pro version to control access with a custom VPN, and that enables it to filter your cellular traffic, not just wifi. The app runs a local VPN on your iPhone, and you can block analytics domains. Here are some things I've blacklisted and prevented common apps from connecting to:
settings.crashlytics.com
data.flurry.com
graph.facebook.com
google-analytics.com
adobemobiledev.sc.omtrdc.net
api.leanplum.com

So you can deny connections to a lot of shady websites, and in total I'm blocking around 100 different domains.

No more web fonts from Google, no Facebook or social media connections through apps or websites, and it's great.
On my end, I made the assumption that the IRS was going to get this data, anyway. Though Coinbase doesn't fall under the same blanket as my bank, with the way they operate and what they do, it's only a matter of time before they're required to provide the same records that my bank provides -- 1099 and other tax-related forms.

No transaction you perform with a typical bank is secret, that data is used to determine what you must pay in taxes and the IRS is rather consistent in getting that information and coming down hard -- even on small tax cheats -- when you fail to report your earnings properly. I'm just "the little guy" and that $3,000 or so of ETH that I cashed out will be appearing as a line-item on my tax filings in the early part of next year. It's a stupid thing to pay a penalty/fine on. I'm not a fan of how we're taxed in this country or how the IRS operates[0] but I'm not interested in trying to solve the problem by attempting to get away with breaking the (bad) laws and as someone with friends who have tried to get away with such things and lost pretty horribly, I'll learn from other's mistakes rather than make them myself.

When I saw that they asked for all of Coinbase's records, I not only wasn't surprised -- I fully expected they'd actually get all of them. While I'm glad that I was wrong in that expectation, it's not something that should motivate anyone into thinking they'll fly under the radar with unreported earnings. Now ... how on earth I am supposed to claim this income -- all made from mining, not "purchased" using currency -- will have to be figured out by my CPA. I'm just glad that all of my coins are old enough that they (hopefully) qualify as long-term capital gains, but IANACPA.

[0] It always seemed curious to me that financial transactions -- provided they go through a bank (which the vast majority of them do) are effectively free of 4th Amendment protection, and it bothers me that tax related crimes are handled unlike any other crime in the US -- an IRS audit is, effectively, "We think you're guilty; prove to us otherwise or pay the fine"
Everybody already knows that, so it's hardly inconvenient.

If you're going to go back and rest your argument on what the Obama administration did, then you still have to explain why Trump needed to do what he tried to do.

Calling back to the Obama adminstration's actions makes it harder, not easier to justify Trump's EO. You have to explain why the Obama administration's actions were insufficient--which Trump staff did not even try to do. They just asserted that he had the authority to do it, regardless of any proof it was necessary.

All XXXcoin currencies are Ponzi schemes, in effect. Their "growth" is fueled almost entirely by new investors dumping cash into the system from which no one takes (can take[1]) anything out.

That's a pyramid. Eventually when the investment money runs out[2], the support will fall over. The only distinction between this and a Ponzi scheme is that there are (probably) no single fraudsters at the top ready to run off with the money. It's an unintentional Ponzi scheme.

Coin boosters simply don't get this: there's not enough money in the world to keep bitcoin (and all the copycat coins) growing forever. What is your plan for when the investment money runs out?. There is no plan, because you can't get your money out.

[1] You simply can't dump a large bitcoin holding. There's not nearly enough liquidity to do that in reasonable time.

[2] And it will.
You make it confirm the intent, and only then execute.
What is 'Profit'

Profit is a financial benefit that is realized when the amount of revenue gained from a business activity exceeds the expenses, costs and taxes needed to sustain the activity. Any profit that is gained goes to the business's owners, who may or may not decide to spend it on the business.

I have a spreadsheet to track exactly this -- it's actually quite straightforward. By regulation, you are required to compute a crypto1-to-crypto2 trade as a crypto1-to-USD followed by a USD-to-crypto2.

So if you're buying NEO with BTC, you log two trades: a SELL of BTC (to USD), and a BUY of NEO (with USD.)

It's also important to match each of your sale orders with prior buy orders (for calculating taxable profit/loss.)

They don't use _my_ wifi, I don't know how they are interconnected without wires exactly (or if it even really works). I'm not worried about it, but it passed inspection.

Unfortunately, when law is enforced sufficiently selectively, you do not have rule of law, nor do you live in a nation of laws.

Saying that the law does not recognize whataboutism is a red herring (Unless we are talking about the outcome of a specific legal case).

In short, whataboutism is a legitimate argument for why someone should not be prosecuted (Because the law has nothing to do with that decision.)
I left an Ecobee smart thermostat when I sold my house. I deleted my online account and you could still adjust the temperature manually. I assume the new owner would eventually set up an online account but they wouldn't need to if they just wanted a 'dumb' thermostat. The Ecobee also works as a 'dumb' fallback when wifi is down.
I kind of suspect that Uber might have skeletons much bigger then sexual misconduct. I would be surprised if their financials were in order and if legal documents did not contained a lot of lies.
On one level, yes.

Uber very well could go under with associated scandals.

On another level, no.

The severity of Enron was much worse. Enron had crazy derivative positions that it could not possibly close out. Enron also filed fake financial reports with the SEC which is a crime. (Mismanaging a business, in itself, isn't.)

Uber has blown a lot of money on subsidized rides for residents of top global cities; it may be on the hook for car leases and probably has some debt. It can probably be wound up in a straightforward way if it goes down. I could see it folded up in an acquisition.
I'd still be hesitant. When a company is cutting jobs because they are in trouble, they become somewhat unpredictable. The hiring manager you're talking to may himself be out of job in a couple of weeks.

Example: Someone my wife knows moved to a different state to take a job with a big financial firm (Fidelity) and they got "laid off" before they even started.
If something being suspicious is cause to believe it, then we can believe that the Clintons had something to do with the large number of politically convenient accidents and suicides surrounding them.

I thought we were going to stay away from politics on hacker news. especially becuase of the liberal bias in the community and the mods.
I think the article makes good points about some craziness on college campuses, particularly regarding actions restricting freedom of speech, but to use that as a justification to hurt seemingly left tilted institutions is a weak argument.

This kind of justification doesn't help the already partisan environment and further encourages tribalism and defence of bad ideas.

The optics of the article makes it looks like "we don't like you, so we're going to hit you where it hurts", something that the constitution seeks to prevent(re: "tyranny of majority").

Freedom of speech suppression isn't exclusively a left problem as can be seen in the link below, I'd agree that it's more of a left problem than right: https://www.thefire.org/resources/disinvitation-database/

What we need is more debate not less, and taxing endownments isn't going to help that, I'm, not sure what will though either, people seemingly don't want to debate anymore.

You are quite mistaken. Though “broken” is the wrong word: it’s simply not bound by it, it’s bound by treaties with the host countries, which supersede current local law (but were obviously legal in the previous framework). In particular, the treaties explicitly declare immunity from local law, law enforcement and jurisdiction, as well as inviolability of the premises — there’s no room for interpretation. There are exceptions to this immunity but they do not pertain to our discussion.

For context, I am somewhat familiar with these treaties, as I was part of an employee initiative that was in dispute with our employer at the time. I can’t go into details for obvious reasons but suffice to say that we were disputing clauses in our contract which did contravene some (though not all) member states’ rules. We managed to get those changed, but not without substantial push-back and compromises (some rules are still not in agreement with all host countries).
It angers me that the top Universities sit on billions of dollars while at the same time restricting the number of incoming students to just a few thousand. IF THE ENDOWMENTS WERE TAXED THE UNIVERSITIES WOULD WANT TO SPEND THE MONEY, AND HOPEFULLY THEY WOULD OFFER MORE SLOTS TO APPLICANTS.

why does it track better just because you take delivery? either way, whether you take delivery or not, the exchange has to decide on a settlement mark to market price. So, delivery or not, it will track the same.
I see what you’re getting at, but the reality is that there’s only so far massaging and rethinking your process can take you. No matter what you do, some number of bugs are going to find their way through. There’s going to be unforeseen combinations of variables and edge cases you’d never predict. The best one can ever do is reduce the frequency of occurrence to a minimum. Bugs are an inevitability, and I’d rather not be at the mercy of my users when it comes to finding out about them.

What a load of BS. Of course you can sell off a large Bitcoin holding. People do it all the time. That you think otherwise is ignorance and bias.
In Canadian law, when you 'convert' the coin to another, it instantly triggers capital gains. If you convert the new coin, capital gains (or losses) are triggered at the time of conversion.

Its the same as if you were to pay for a new car with some Google shares and your old car, where there is no conversion to money- it's barter trade. The CRA (Canadian IRS) treats BitCoin transactions as barter trade- and you have to declare the trade in equivalent dollar values.

The happy path does not allow for easy avoidance of capital gains. I am not sure what happens if you were to purchase outside the country though- although I think the limiting factor here is the exchange you're converting on. Connecting with banks subject them to regulation and reporting.

I wonder if I buy BitCoin in a Caymen Island exchange, sell on the exchange for profit into a Caymen Island bank account, then transfer the wealth into a Canadian account, if I could avoid capital gains. This is all in OP's comment though where the institutions responsible for taxation have a wealth of domain knowledge. The tax code is complicated because people with a ton of wealth on the line have found and exploited every loophole imaginable. Nothing I can think of hasn't already been considered.
