Most jobs do not require you to undergo an institutionalising training process, nor to place yourself at risk of violent death, nor to move house or even country every couple of years, nor many other things.
The point is that people aren't buying bitcoin to make purchases with it now. There are relatively few merchants that take bitcoin and its cost ineffective to buy bitcoin to make the transaction anyways (even without the high tx fees). People are buying now because of the potential and because of exponential increase in price. That bitcoin is bad for coffee transactions right now is irrelevant.
That's not emotional and non-rational. They were buying in a cheaper market looking to sell in a more expensive one. Unfortunately the cheap market often shuts down trading when volume gets too high so the people who got trapped are screwed.
I would dare to say that even Ethereum and some other alt-coins should be considered securities using this test.

They're your shares. They are held in an account sponsored by the employer, but they are yours just like if you bought them from schwab.com.

I don't know what happens if a brokerage goes out of business, but I imagine you're in the same boat as all the people who bought those shares with cash on the open market. Once the stock vests, it's yours.

Contributors can as well sell their future orders as backorders on ebay or amazon or directly. Many successful kickstarters had their products sold at much higher prices after they are received (mainly the early bird ones).
Sell half after it doubles, then hold the rest until you need the money. Selling half returns your initial investment; what remains is pure profit and you can't lose money.
That quote is slightly misstated. It makes it sound like gold bars would be securities (since any profit from reselling gold would be "largely or wholly outside of the investor's control" since the market for gold is so large and relatively volatile).

Rather than asking whether the potential profit is outside of the investor's control, the question is whether the profit is within the control of some other person or group.

The example that sticks in my mind is the idea that fruit trees can be securities if they are maintained and harvested by non-investors and the fruit sale profits go to the investors.
In my experience, it boils down to these assumptions:

1: if your site is uncluttered -- that is, it hides non-essential information -- it will be more appealing to the user;

2: if your site is following practices common to other sites, the average user will have already learned those practices before coming to your site;

3: if a specific user demonstrates a need for guidance/non-essential information, that information should be made explicitly available.

Applied to password requirements:

- Show the password field without requirements (uncluttered initial state)

- If they enter a valid password, all is well (happy path)

- If they enter an invalid password, surface the requirements (explicit guidance)

OP is not saying you should "have a problem with it," in the sense that it requires a new law or justice-driven activism or something like that. He's expressing an opinion that it's not good long term for society.

If it were gay marriage, or drug addiction, or gambling, similarly someone might say "it's their life" while also expressing disdain for the range of effects they believe it will cause.

I dunno; the biblical imagery is pretty central to the plot (Adam/Eve, Angels, Lance of Longinus, etc.) There's a strong implication that this takes place during "the rapture" and in fact, EoE shows what is basically a textbook version of rapture. It's not used with the same level of reverence it would be in the West (it's treated more of the way we would treat a story about Greek gods) so it may seem hokey to Western viewers, but the imagery is definitely there and used for central plot purposes.

I think hacking a web server is a lot easier than hacking a network connection. Hacking web servers is well within the capabilities of your average vandal, while hacking network links in order to perform a MitM attack requires significant resources (e.g., those of a large criminal syndicate or an intelligence service, but I repeat myself).

Edited to add: ARP-spoofing the right LAN requires spearphishing and APT, which I think also require significant resources.

The same thing that will cause the "sudden rise in other cryptocurrencies" over the next few months = people seeing Bitcoin is stagnating, learning about other cryptocurrencies, and then converting their Bitcoins into those.

In Litecoin's case it's also because it's one of the very few cryptocurrencies that has been adopted by virtually all exchanges, and it has faster transaction times than Bitcoins (for which transaction times and fees are a big problem currently, after the big recent influx of users/investors).
This reflects one of the more notable changes of late in the basic SV startup template. More companies are going with so-called "extended" exercise windows, converting from 90-day-window ISOs to multi-year-window NSOs upon exit. Zach Holman (ex-Github) wrote a short, fun post on this a couple years ago.[1] Y Combinator has made it their standard around when Pinterest did it as well.[2]

It was fun to watch Andreessen Horowitz criticize[3] ten year windows and then backtrack[4] after a public flogging. That was when the power balance shifted towards more employee-friendly terms.

The part of this I'm still trying to figure out is when does it makes sense to offer RSUs over ISO/NSOs. My general sense is it works better for bigger companies than tiny startups, but I forget the details.

If the ICO tokens are tied to some reward on acquisition, then how is it any different from other securities? May as well just sell equity at that stage (perhaps through something like seedrs, which accepts small investments too). If it’s basically just a security like any others, why should it bypass the regulations?

If it walks like a security and it quacks like a security, then everything else is just a technicality: it’s a security.

Also, what benefit does using a cryptocurrency even buy you here other than as a technicality to attempt to sidestep the laws?

Maybe the laws should be relaxed to open it up to more laypeople, but given how easily people get burned and scammed at this stuff, I’m not fully convinced (penny stocks anyone? Or even Bitcoin: yes some people got rich and others will get rich in the future, but there’s a very high chance that a lot of laypeople who bought in recently because of the price surge are going to lose a lot of money). The point of “accredited investor” is that they can afford to lose their investments.
As far as I know, Pinterest was the first company to give a sane amount of time to exercise options:

https://medium.com/@michaeldeangelo/unlocking-the-golden-han...

They give you 7 years to buy, so you don't get stuck with a huge tax bill between exercising the options and being able to sell shares.
Yeah, I have to say I was fully expecting step one to be "Sit down and think long and hard about why you are contemplating a rewrite. Is it really worth it?"

Twice I was on a team that dove into a rewrite, spent a lot of time and came up with a new version that was pretty darn good. But both times the company ended up sticking with the old code and incrementally updating it as needed.

The only reason I would attempt a rewrite these days is to learn something new (e.g. new language) while working in a domain I was completely familiar with. It probably wouldn't even get deployed but would hopefully help me start on something truly new in a new language or using tooling I'd never used before.

But I guess at the end of the day there are valid reasons to do it and this seems like a decent start if you go that route.
I think you meant irrational. Non-rational is different.
I don't know how many other restrictions apply, but apparently for RegCF, you can only take small amounts from non-accredited investors, and you have to raise less than 1MM.

I seem to recall that Visual Studio Could has an option to immediately push all your commits to remote, bypassing staging. I kind of like staging tho; I find it helps keep me focused on small, self-contained pieces of work, instead of working on several pieces at once.
While it's obviously true what the effect of the law is, I find it a more good than bad law. It's intended to protect non-accredited investors from flim-flam investment schemes, by making it a federal crime to solicit money from them. Soliciting money from accredited investors has a certain supposition that they are at least one (if not both) of better able to withstand a loss of principal in an investment and better able to protect themselves from investment scams.

Though the article says otherwise, I don't believe one has to be an accredited investor to liquidate any position, only to initiate one. (I suppose there's an argument that you could swindled on the sale as well, but I find that a lot less compelling than on the buy.)

The effect of cheap money on Bitcoin is a second-order effect whereby people have access to money they wouldn't otherwise have, due to additional debt. It's similar to the effect witnessed during the run-up to the 2008 meltdown where people were refinancing their homes and cashing out (on-paper) equity to use for propping up their lifestyle or buying more real estate.

The point is that it is impossible to separate Bitcoin and it's fate from the greater economy. Cheap money fuels bubbles. Last time it was real estate, this time it looks like Bitcoin.
We wrote a library with the same code generation purpose almost on the same day (1st commit). I just found myself typing the same TS code using truffle-contract lib over ERC20 methods. Using it in production and will release v.1. as soon as web3 is v.1. (a blog post was due on v.1 date :) ) We also have a number of strongly typed helper methods included such as ethereum-utils, keythereum and fast signing for state channels implementation (implemented in a sibling repo). The concept of TypeScript code generation is very valid, saves a lot of time during rapid prototyping and contracts become self-documenting, with IDE errors after signatures change. Generated contracts are isomorphic and work well from Node.js and a browser while being simply packed with NPM. https://github.com/dbrainio/Soltsice

Even better, I should sell just a paper (well, an electronic one) stating you own some thin air. Hey, geeks, how cool can this get?

And George H. W. Bush in 1989:

> WASHINGTON, July 20— President Bush proposed today that the United States establish a base on the Moon, send an expedition to Mars and begin ''the permanent settlement of space.''

> In a speech celebrating the 20th anniversary of man's landing on the Moon, Mr. Bush made the first major commitment by a President to these ambitious goals and set the stage for the first full-scale debate in years on the nation's troubled space program.

> ... Mr. Bush pledged to commit the United States in the 1990's to the earth-orbiting space station as the ''critical next step in all our space endeavors.''

''And next, for the new century, back to the Moon, back to the future, and this time back to stay,'' Mr. Bush told the select audience, which included nearly half the American astronauts who flew in space. ''And then, a journey into tomorrow, a journey to another planet, a manned mission to Mars.''

Deregulatory actions are only ever used in service of entrenching telecom monopolies. The part where we actually get meaningful competition never happens.

I think that's easier now with the Internet, but keep in mind when Lain came out the Internet fansub community was really just getting going. I remember in 2001 being blown away that I could download an entire series in under an hour from a friend at another university (it ran over Internet2 so I could actually saturate my 100mbps ethernet connection with it). This was years before streaming video was even possible outside RealPlayer.

Back then, it didn't really get popular in the US unless it was already popular in Japan. I realize that's changed now, but back in the early days of Internet video there just wasn't the same level of access.

You can sell securities to anybody, including (presumably) children. You simply have to register them with the SEC and follow the disclosure rules all the other thousands of publicly traded companies have to follow.

Heck, after the JOBS Act, it got even easier to do this under Reg A+, which allows for a lightweight IPO for raises under 50MM --- which describes most ICOs.

So now they have to set up WinSCP or a comparable tool, which has its own set of lengthly instructions.

What legitimacy? It's all code. Any smart person will take something for it's technical merit. Good developers will eventually move.

>why not standardize on the one currency that has achieved the most adoption?

And where did that get us? A currency which isn't usable for daily transactions. And people give that "Oh it isn't meant for that, use Litecoin" comment. So why do we even quote adoption?

Even then, when a transaction takes $25+ dollars, you realize that there's something wrong.
If there is one thing the last 8 years have shown us - it doesn't matter at what point you get in.

But Litecoin in particular has had crazy corrections in the past. There are also many LTC hodlers from when it was pennies on the dollar who will now want out.
