Actually, I think to your point about blocking ads, if your server sends me data I am entitled to render it any way I choose, omitting any element I am not interested in (ads, etc). Similar to how it is not infringing copyright to leave the room or not look at the screen during a commercial break on broadcast television.

If you don't want ad blockers to view a site then find a technical means to prevent it. You are not going to convince me that I have a moral obligation to consume psychologically manipulative content that is unrelated to what I am seeking to view.
This has nothing to do with a monopoly, so antitrust law is totally not applicable here. You might be thinking "class action lawsuit", which someone might attempt. However, if Apple can show that this is actually a mechanism to provide maximum screen time for the life of the battery (as opposed to malicious planned obsolescence), the suit would likely fail.
Man, you could almost see that in the old OS X Dashboard. In fact, the early Apple iOS apps looked like they took cues directly from some in-house dashboard apps. I thought for sure that one of these days one would be able to put iOS apps on the Dashboard. Dashboard’s gone, but this still might work out in some fashion.
Do they have a Saturn V at Marshall Space Flight Center? I remember visiting there with my Cub Scout den in the 80's and just standing next to the cones of one of the rockets, staring in awe at just.how.big it was.

Hey, if someone is hiding in the toilet with their phone, there's a real good chance that they need the isolation more than they need the toilet.
I don't want to! Your comment history is excellent and we appreciate having you here. It's just that HN users aren't allowed to attack each other, and generally not allowed to import the political battlefield that everywhere else seems to have turned into.

I could have been less aggressive myself in how I expressed that though. It's a constant struggle not to partly reproduce the thing one is criticizing.
And bcash isn't even living up to its claims right now.

People are trying to move their coins out of storage onto exchanges, and seeing about an hour before they even get 1 confirmation.
I've said this repeatedly[1], but I take the opportunity to say it every chance I get.

Ad-blocking is about trust—or more accurately, lack thereof.

I don't trust you not to show me scammy ads, load 2MB of tracking JS, maliciously redirect me, or generally ruin my overall user experience with your content you claim is so valuable. So I run an ad-blocker. I'm telling you I value your content (enough to view it, anyway), and to stop getting in my way. I'm blocking your infrastructure because I don't trust it and blocking your ads because I question your judgement. Or because I don't know you well enough to know your judgement, so my default assumption is that you're going to be a bad actor.

I agree there has to be a better way to sponsor websites. And ads as a mechanism are a fine way to do that. So, content creators, I'm OK with popups asking me to un-block your ads. But you need to show me you deserve that trust: it's not that you need to keep the lights on. I get it. But that's your problem. That's why you want me to unblock, not why I will unblock. So tell me your ad network is trustworthy and be transparent about that commitment.

Don't just ask me for my credit card number as an alternate form of sponsorship. I literally just told you I don't trust your infrastructure or your judgement, and your response is to ask for financial information? Nope.

SAAS-TOKEN, (Ethereum) Smart Contract model for monthly subscription based SAAS
A couple years ago, on top of their acceptable ads program that was more or less pay-to-bypass, Eeyo announced that it was going to start an ad exchange to let people buy placements on spots that ABP blocked.

In effect ABP was forcing itself in as a middle man and taking a fee from both the site owner and the advertiser. As an example, if I, your local newspaper, sell a placement to your local car dealership, ABP comes in and says "people won't see the car ads, but if you split the revenue you were going to get with me, I'll sell those placements to someone else for you." So let's say 10% of my visitors use ABP. I can now either lose it or get back some smaller percentage of it by paying ABP.

That's one DDoS short of a digital protection racket.

In addition, when Eeyo made that announcement, they also announced that they were working with AppNexus and Google on the new exchange, which just wasn't true. Though I believe Google does pay to get some ads into the acceptable ads program.

If you're going to be in the business of blocking ads, stay out of the business of selling ads.
Great. Can you say where that business is going to come from? Satellite launches? Supporting what markets?

I'm wondering if there is a 'Space Market Outlook 2020 and beyond' report by some research agency I could peruse.

> It seems like we are talking about different things. No one is arguing that there shouldn't be multiple map interfaces, but rather that if the data was shared, you could have more investment in the interesting parts.

Data is the interesting part. And it needs more investment. Data is the valuable part. UX has very little relevance here.

Companies are competing on what matters and what gives them a competitive edge. Map UX doesn't. Map data does.
I think they're probably fudging their demos, but my hope is that they've just decided on a marketing basis to not show people on a flat screen the images. With VR headsets I think the best "selling point" is the experience - VR graphics aren't great - but once you put it on you get it (if its good).
Yeah it's striking, people behind T_D and r/bitcoin probably hired the same company
It seems like it. No one should ever be called a conspiracy nut these days.
True. Also, Google has a great Places Search API. You can build so many more things with the Google maps libraries, unlike with other maps. For example just built https://stayintech.com/ with Google Maps API, after considering all the available options.

> US is ranked something like 37th in the world for health care.

That low ranking is probably well deserved, but it applies at the macro level. The US medical system is fundamentally asymmetrical, but it's great for the "haves" - and for those privileged enough to enjoy good insurance plans, it offers some of the best healthcare in the world.

Given the context of this discussion, I think it's fair to assume that American engineers considering a move abroad currently have health coverage at home (or are in a position to get it). Apples to apples.

Great! I'm glad you're supporting sites you use.

And yes, there was an internet before the current ad-driven models promoted by Google and Facebook. However, the sites that were up were effectively subsidized by other business. I'm thinking primarily about media, here. Bloggers had other jobs and blogged on the side. Sites by established media were likewise side projects that were paid for by other divisions of their business, and a lot of that was income was from ads, either print or television. As those businesses have shrunk, and largely because people have been moving online for content, they no longer have the ability to pay for non-revenue generating web presences.

Please don't mistake this as some apologia for ad-based revenue models. I think the current model is largely encouraging some of the worst behavior of human psychology, as well as serious privacy concerns. However, I do think it's important to understand the the economics at play here and not dismiss these economics out of hand and recognize that this needs to be paid for somehow. Many of the people putting Google Ads on their sites or posting on Facebook aren't doing so because they want people to be tracked, for example, but they don't think they have a choice if they want to be able to support what they want to do.

I also think subscriptions do and will continue to play an important role in changing this, so I would encourage you not to dismiss them out of hand. One of the drivers for moving out of "yellow journalism" was the move from paying for each edition to the subscription model. We've seen the reverse of this with the rise of online, ad-based model. Each story has to sell itself and drive engagement, very similar to the edition-based models and tabloids.
i had bad experiences with Uber and Lyft in the Bay Area, and mostly because of Google Maps and lousy GPS chipsets on the bargain basement phones everyone seemed to be using. GPS that was taking forever to lock on, so drivers were missing turns and having to backtrack.

here in Texas, different story. Although Google Maps isn't always that great with the parallel service roads that we have all over the place.
BCH received in the fork should be treated like the receipt of free money: as income. So, you get taxed on that as if it were cash.

If/when you later sell it, you will be taxed again on any gain in the value of the BCH at the time of sale as capital gain (but only on the gain, not the total value of the BCH). Alternatively, if the value has dropped, you will get a capital loss deduction. Whether it is short-term or long-term capital gains/losses depends on how long you've held the BCH at the time of sale.

And yes, this is the consensus of the experts...especially the ones at the IRS...
I think it's worth pointing out that "bcash" was something coined by the bcash community. The only notable opposition to it was by Roger Ver because he wanted his fork to have the name "Bitcoin" in it. I don't think it helps anything to accuse the poster of being disingenuous for using a term that the community themselves came up with.

> several Apple software like Safari 5 for Windows and iTunes already ship with macOS UI libraries ported to Windows.

Actually, the situation is kind of the opposite: Safari and iTunes eschew the use of macOS's UI libraries. Safari, in particular, is actually just WebKit (which has no "UI") wrapped up in a Windows-style chrome to appear native. iTunes itself, even on macOS, is some sort of weird C++ hybrid abstracted API that's not Cocoa (which is why it looks so "off" on macOS). This, along with a version of Foundation/CoreFoundation, allows it to work on both platforms–though not very well, I'll admit.
In terms of how chain splits work there is not a technical differentiation between a "fork" and the "original". In the case of the hard fork on block 478559 there was a pretty significant change to the consensus rules (EDA, 8MB blocks & no segwit).

What happened on block 494782 was also a fork in some respects, there was well telegraphed plans to change the consensus rules on that block, but no one mined/accepted blocks with those rules.
Corporate rate is permanent yet income rate cuts expire in 2025. Is there a reason for this other than the Republicans being manipulative hypocrites?
Key management is difficult. Trust is difficult. Some solutions out there exist that make it easier, but it's still not as userfriendly as passwords can be.

Do you have one key per service? One key per identity and multiple services that you use that key/identity with? Multiple keys associated with the same account?

Keybase offers an interesting way forward since it handles the key management side of things. It can also handle revoking keys and using multiple keys per service (no juggling the keys across devices, each device can get its own key). My two keys could be jtsummers_home and jtsummers_mobile both associated with jtsummers the identity on Keybase. If I add a new device, say jtsummers_internationalmobile, I can add it and still access my services while abroad. And when I want to scrap that one (I've returned home, lost the device, whatever) I can revoke it and services should no longer accept it when authenticating.

Downside is that this is one, centralized, service offering. Better would be a distributed or federated mechanism for the same concept.

If you don't have something like Keybase, then your users will have to have a mechanism of reactivating service after losing a key, signalling you that the a key has been compromised or lost (and you need a way to trust this, how do you do that?). We still don't have good business-to-consumer secure communication. In order for it to be secure you have to be inside their web-based service that the user has authenticated against. This is a bit of a Catch-22 situation. You can't send them a secure email unless the user has a PGP key or similar (uncommon, and we're back to key management and trust issues). You'll also have to accept multiple keys so the user doesn't have to move private keys across devices (a potential point of security failures). And that again gets back to users needing a way to reliably revoke keys for lost, stolen, or otherwise compromised devices.

I've done work with DoD where they use smartcards with a set of public/private key pairs and do exactly what you want. Nearly every service uses these certificates for identity and access control. This is an effective way, but their solution to the trust problem is to issue 3-year keys through a certificate authority. This creates a trust problem for users: How do they know that the CA doesn't make use of their private key somehow. DoD makes use, like many CAs, of a key escrow system where old keys can be retrieved but are, ostensibly, stored offline or behind an airgap of some sort. I believe there is also a mechanism they use to revoke keys early, but I never encountered this.

This works, and for the DoD work I did I had no reason not to trust that the keys were being stored and managed effectively. But I'm not about to trust an arbitrary CA, and many people wouldn't trust a government CA. You have to solve this trust problem as well to move forward.
I think open shared office spaces are an effect of high rents in Sillicon valley and major capital cities. Startups having limited capital rarther spending it on employees salaries getting more head count. Shared space is not effective for concentrating during coding.

I doubt shared spaces has been evaluated for effectiveness versus personal office. Shared spaces may be a cause of people working remote.

Do you have a link to an energy provider who accepts bitcoin directly? As in not priced as it relates to USD, but instead lists costs in bitcoin?
No, it wouldn't. At least then not when that email contains information, which is market relevant in any form.

It would only then be fair game if that email goes out at the same time as when the information is publicly available.

I'm not talking about a new iPhone here. But information, which moves the market. For example: A planned merger to which very few people are really privy.

I was just meeting/working at the largest WeWork anywhere, in Moorgate London. I like the atmosphere, my 'but' would be noise levels. It only takes one loud/noisy neighbour and your concentration is gone. Multiples of that makes it hard to have a meeting, where you may well also be disrupting someone else's day by making too much noise.

Therefore more sound proofing is needed...
Not everyone has a home with a dedicated space to put a home office, either. When you have to work out of your bedroom, a distinct office away from home quickly becomes useful. Not every problem with remote work and distractions is a result of personality flaws.
The argument is "corporations need certainty" for planning for the future. If tax cuts can expire it creates a "will they or won't they" situation around whether or not they'll be extended.
> Making the iPad a giant iPhone was a big mistake.

I disagree. iPad is fundamentally a touch device, and trying to shoehorn macOS into this paradigm would have probably doomed iPad–remember, that's what the competition was doing back before iPad, and you know how the sales of those devices were…
That’s a really bad example the US has a trade agreement with Mexico it doesn’t mean that one can buy cocaine from a Mexican cartel.
Lawyers wouldn't be arguing over this. It's a well-settled point of tax law.

BCH received in the split would be treated as free money received (because Bitcoins are currency, not equity interest), so as cash income, and thus would be taxed like cash income.
Because it's free as in freedom, not free as in price. Most popular free software is written by employed developers working for companies.

That’s not true. There are plenty of ways to respond without increasing your liability. “We can’t comment until pending legal is resolved due to advice of council” is one. Far better is, “It’s not true, facts are X, Y, and Z.” Telling the truth in public isn’t going to increase your liability, if you aren’t guilty of anything.

People working from home is not a failure of modern office design. It is a failure of the core concept of the office itself. It no longer has value to offer. Originally, factories were necessary because physical colocation of workers was physically necessary. It was a sacrifice, an overhead taken on that created its own problems but which paid for them in overall benefit. Those benefits are now gone. Offices are now dead weight, an inefficiency that will be eliminated (as will be the unfortunate few barnacles who cling to their underbelly and previously solved some of the problems offices invented). Maybe not tomorrow, but eventually they will. They destroy value, and add none.
I'll have to take a look at this later when I get home. (I forget what my residential IP is, so I can't easily check this from work.) I've not been on any torrents for some years, so unless my roommate is downloading things, my IP should be clean. If my roommate is pirating things via torrent, then I think a smack upside the head for doing so without protection is in order. If he's on any legit torrents, I don't particularly care, though I should probably throttle it a bit so it doesn't step on traffic that needs to be more responsive, like our video games.

I have not downloaded any of the movies this claims I downloaded, and it lists none of the torrents I actually have downloaded. How should I interpret that?
No, you treat it as free cash, so a basis of zero, because you didn't actually pay anything for the BCH and it's treated as income when received.

On the other hand, when you sell the BCH, your basis will the FMV when received, so you would only be taxed the second time on the gain in price (if any).l
