Washington state law says in Title 49, Chapter 44, section 140[0];

Requiring assignment of employee's rights to inventions
- Conditions.
(1) A provision in an employment agreement which provides
that an employee shall assign or offer to assign any of
the employee's rights in an invention to the employer
does not apply to an invention for which no equipment,
supplies, facilities, or trade secret information of the
employer was used and which was developed entirely on
the employee's own time, unless (a) the invention
relates (i) directly to the business of the employer, or
(ii) to the employer's actual or demonstrably
anticipated research or development, or (b) the
invention results from any work performed by the
employee for the employer. Any provision which purports
to apply to such an invention is to that extent against
the public policy of this state and is to that extent
void and unenforceable.

(2) An employer shall not require a provision made void
and unenforceable by subsection (1) of this section as a
condition of employment or continuing employment.

(3) If an employment agreement entered into after
September 1, 1979, contains a provision requiring the
employee to assign any of the employee's rights in any
invention to the employer, the employer must also, at
the time the agreement is made, provide a written
notification to the employee that the agreement does not
apply to an invention for which no equipment, supplies,
facility, or trade secret information of the employer
was used and which was developed entirely on the
employee's own time, unless (a) the invention relates
(i) directly to the business of the employer, or (ii)
to the employer's actual or demonstrably anticipated
research or development, or (b) the invention results
from any work preformed [performed] by the employee for
the employer.

How does this impact buy/sell orders? If I place a buy order at t = 0 where btc = 10, but the order isn't processed until t + 3hours where btc = 15, do I pay 10 or 15?
What is the use case for your second example? I am not following.

Wouldn't that just be rate limiting by client IP though?
And what's that got to do with bitcoin? If you're going to assert that gold can't go to $0 and imply that bitcoin can, you need to also give a good reason why bitcoin can go to $0.
See the FAQ [1] which answers some, but not all, of your questions.

California isn't denying people fundamental rights. That's the difference.

"Who cares about home ownership when you can use whatever public toilet you want!"

You mean they're allowed to exist in public? If you are not allowed to use the bathroom that corresponds to your identity, you're basically not allowed to use the bathroom in public at all. Which means you're not really allowed to be in public at all.
Sure but what's the importance of that fact? If I buy an ecoin at $1500 and it goes to zero and if I buy gold at $1510 and it goes to $10 it's the same loss. I guess what's the real importance that gold has a floor which is marginally above zero and bitcoin doesn't if both of those floors are far below the current price level.
Not a public cloud. It does involve some private cloud visualization and containers.
"This is obvious to me and therefore obvious to everyone" isn't the most compelling take on the article.
That's quite a balony.

- Both are in fixed quantity so none is more rare than other.

- Gold has practical use in industry which puts lower bound on its value. BTC has no lower bound.

- Gold is exchangeable virtually in any country and any culture regardless of how technologically advanced that society is.

- Thousands of years of history has proven that humans have almost natural lust for this shiny metal and it gets displayed as jewelry uses. This again further sets the lower bound for gold prices.

- Gold is not only rare but is virtually rust proof and can be stowed away without any advanced tech for 100s of years. BTC will be pointless if there was a natural or human made disaster and few people had electricity.

- Gold is far more unlikely to be made illegal by governments.

- There are no new rare metals popping up every day like whole slew of new cryptocurrencies which might fragment and trump each other. No one knows which cryptocurrency will end up dominating 10 years down the line.

- BTC has huge risk of getting stolen and hacked because someone exploiting zero day vulnerabilities in your system even if you did everything you possibly could to keep your system safe.

- Governments can start their secret operations to control the crypto market behind the scene, hack in to exchanges, find vulnerabilities or do dirty trades.

- Crypto exchanges are wild west without regulations which means clever deep pocketed traders would be exploiting them by techniques like frontrunning, wash trades, willybot, spoofing etc. This enables big investors to profit at the expense of small investors.

Above arguments should make it clear that btc has very real upper bound that it can rationally reach and its most definitely less than gold market cap. Of course, big investors can juice up things in the short term but it would be impossible to sustain irrational highs on long term.
This is an error called survivorship bias. You cannot evaluate the strength of a strategy post hoc based on its success.

> What might be of larger concern is the IP licensing aspect.

If that's the larger concern, then why isn't it a concern for text or images?

Lots of photographers would love Facebook-enforced DRM for the wedding photos they haven't licensed.

No, it makes more sense to assume the concern is pursuing consumer and creator lock-in through vertical integration.
I don't disagree necessarily, but it's a very useful if somewhat flawed proxy I think? Any changes to the book are going to get arbed away pretty quickly, so a market sell is almost never a good idea with volume.

We've seen those and the price jumps back almost immediately because BTC trades on many exchanges and currency pairs.

If you wanted to measure the current book, I think you'd have to sum up the various fiat books across exchanges to get a good sense of what the market can bear at the moment.

edit: Thank you for forcing me to clarify my thinking, I shouldn't have directly linked volume to liquidity but absent good data I tend to associate them.
I had the same thought as you but then have a look at the Etherium fork, the Bitcoin fork etc.

Bitcoin isn't the original white paper, to be carried on into infinity. Bitcoin is a brand. The white paper(s) and code can change (while honouring historic transactions) and adapt to changes in crypto, but you are still holding bitcoin, you are still buying and transaction bitcoin.

The word Bitcoin is essentially a "pointer" to the current accepted bitcoin implementation.
People tend to forget that PhD (when translated into english) means "Doctor of Philosophy in..."

While getting my bachelor's in math, I often heard peers explain the following:

True, but someone with an end stage terminal illness shouldn't buy a car.
If both items are products that store of value. If it cost 1x amount of energy to mine gold and 3x amount energy to mine bitcoins and keep it secure. Should bitcoin be value more than gold ?
I would argue that the recent wave of "guilty until proven innocent" and "guilty when accused, and more guilty if accused by more people" is even worse for public policy. Due process does indeed exist for a good reason, one of which is to prevent a situation where mere accusations have the power to destroy lives.

Does this mean I think any or all of the recent high-profile cases are innocent? Oh shit, wait, it doesn't matter what I think unless I'm on a jury or in a position to hire or fire the person who is accused.

It's easy to feel smugly righteous about a lot of these cases, but the reality is that it does matter if innocent people are caught up in the hysteria. I'm not quite sure when the media collectively decided that it was a good idea to promote abandoning the principle of "innocent until proven guilty," but the long-term consequences of this are likely to play out in very unexpected and ugly ways that will affect most or all of us in areas that have nothing to do with sexual harassment.
I think you're conflating not shaping traffic at the ISP or Backbone level with something else. The something else in this case is making requests to URLs a consumer of a page may or may not be vetting. If anything it's not treating all contents of a page as equal, and I think that's okay. We already do this with prefetching hints, ordering elements on a page (e.g. styling before scripting), and sometimes consumer driven more invasive approaches (ad blocking, monkey patching sites -- e.g. Reddit Enhancement Suite, etc.). Sure this is pretty heavy handed, but it's quite likely that the other vendors will follow suit (though perhaps with different priority, I doubt Google would do this to their own services).
Which ones are worth even a PG-13 rating?

Nothing about that relates to their investment decisions. If I'm in blackjack holding a 19 and I choose not to hit and the next card comes up a 2, was that a bad investment decision?
Problem here is Firefox is making big and sometimes wrong assumptions about what these so-called "tracking domains" do. That's not in any W3C spec -- that's Mozilla attaching specific assumptions to specific parts of the Internet. Case in point:

> One example is Google’s Page-Hiding Snippet, which may cause a web page to be blank for whole 4 seconds... Both the analytics.js and the test script are loaded from www.google-analytics.com, a tracking domain, for which we engage the tailing delay.

Clearly if a domain is serving up an A/B test script then it is doing more than tracking.

> Simply said some sites may need to be fixed to be able to adopt this change in scheduling.

I have a problem with the term "fixed" here. Seems like Firefox's assumptions are what's broken here.

If you're exchanging money for bitcoin, it happens within an exchange. No public transfer between wallets needs to happen. (Only when you actually deposit / withdraw the bitcoin)

How Have In-Flight Web Page Modification Practices Changed in the Past 10 Years?
Indeed.

Permaculture practitioners have borrowed heavily from provably long-term sustainable aquaponics systems, though these tend to be larger scale (field-sized) and seasonal (wet season you have ponds, dry season you don't).

I haven't seen numbers on effectiveness, but similar to the article you linked, there's fly traps (easy to enter, hard to find their way out) that float on a pond - you put a stinky bit of old meat, cow pat, etc in there, flies lay eggs, fish either eat the larvae that drop through slats, or the flies when they touch the water. Similarly, small solar lights at night near the water's surface to attract more free food.

- both uberx and uber pool are legal in France
- uber black elsewhere is a luxury service, which French uberx is not
- maybe we don't have the same definition of professional driver, but you need them to be professionals for insurance and tax reasons.
- there has been a direct rail link from CDG to central Paris since 1981. It's called RER B.
At most (all?) exchanges you trade with currency that's already deposited at the exchange. So you can only create a buy/sell order if you gave them the coins to fulfill the order instantly.

The current situation makes arbitrage less effective and slows down trade because it's more expensive to move bitcoins to an exchange though
Exchanges (where trades like the one you describe happen) operate outside of the blockchain. You only transact with them on the blockchain when depositing or withdrawing money from the exchange.
Both are buoyed by that past.

That bitcoin is a (sort-of) working cryptocurrency and that bitcoin has a history are basically the primary arguments for bitcoin's continued value.

But it seems implausible to claim that this will allow bitcoin to become a store of value investment. I think it's clear those buying bitcoins today either are doing so with an eye to increase their investments through bitcoin's rise or are trying to get money out of some nation which prevents capital exports.

As a thought experiment, if a person knew for certain that bitcoin would have the same price in six months, would that person ever prefer bitcoins to a us savings account with the same amount of money? It seems to me no one would.

Moreover, if bitcoins are essentially always going to be speculative, this leaves that possibility of them always being possibly displaced by an equivalent.
I think the Winklevoss twins were rightly ridiculed for thinking they invented Facebook. However, they've made two prescient bets and deserve credit for those: (1) Getting Facebook stock instead of cash as part of their legal settlement; (2) Not only seeing bitcoin's future potential, but investing in it and sticking with it. While the final result on the second one is still TBD, they deserve credit for investing in something at a time when many thought they were stupid for doing so.
From the practical point of view, I am afraid the trackers will respond a way if such a move is made on such a global level. Nobody was fighting AdBlock+ when it was only used by geeks and now as is it has gained so much attention there are a lot of sites that won't work if you use AdBlock+. Introducing te "do-not-track" header was a great idea but it has been completely ruined by major browsers turning it on by default so the trackers have legitimately chosen to ignore it.
Oh yes. Those poor folks in flyover country. Why, they can live in homes - the poor bastards. Maybe they are even forced to live on a lake, or God-forbid near a mountain. The horror!

Apparently, the cookie notice is only supposed to show up if the cookies are not related to the site’s purpose; e.g. cookies that keep you logged in or similar are perfectly fine and don’t need a warning. The issue is that every website began using cookies for tracking, so the warnings jut became noise. It’s sad: this law was reasonable, but advertisers were able to completely subvert it into an annoyance for users, and in doing so, prevented the real problem from being solved.
This is a fragmented wallet backup (Armory), so you would still need one more key before you can get access to the wallet's funds (the backup they showed requires 2 out of 3 keys for access).

I don't think that this feature has anything to do with net neutrality...
I'm not talking about politically, but about philosophy or spirit. Compared to the Anglosphere megacities, there is a certain comradeship amongst the French (which you find in other countries, like Japan), a sense of shared fate and community spirit, the idea that this goes before profit and efficiency.

The use of the word communism was deliberately ambiguous and a bit of a pun given the leaning of a sizeable portion of the population in the 20th century. "Commune" means a small town in French, and "commun" can mean "that belongs to all" or "shared".

The French job market is ultra-regulated which makes it relatively rigid with many people left out (and great conditions for the connected). I remember someone interviewing for selling ice-creams - there were 22 finalists! And most graduates will do year-long, low paid internships outside the regulated, cushy full time job system, which like post-docs in US academia can repeat ad infinitum if the economy is bad.

As everywhere else, UberX/Pool allows the marginalised to get an easy job that's a step up from pizza delivery, whilst drastically expanding the market for rides (and I've seen this play in a lot of countries). This is particularly helpful for the numerous people juggling many jobs, and parents (especially single parents) who appreciate the flexibility.

The market was already captured by a single player in France, the worst possible way - in a similar fashion as healthcare in the US. Other markets that have been completely captured by capitalist foreign mega corporations include web search, browsers, social networking, computers, fast food, fashion, real estate supplies, the auto industry (Renault and Peugeot are French only in name at this point)... I guess at least the Rousselet were French?

Perhaps it is time to see things in grey instead of black and white, to avoid labels, to judge companies and actions by their net welfare effect instead of saying "he's not from my team so he's bad" or "she's from my team so she's good" (I'm thinking of you, Democrats in the last election). Almost forgot - reduction in wages? The taxi companies employed many drivers on survival wages (particularly those with difficult immigration situation) and pocketed the difference. Uber's transparency is a net gain for the worker (and the state, which does not get tax-evaded).

UberPop was popular because it allowed people to car pool easily without talking about money, and decongested city centers particularly at rush hour. Enabling widespread, safe car sharing seems to have been perceived as a good thing given the high number of users. I never heard a bad comment about Uber from normal French people (drivers or riders), always from taxi drivers or the news.
Basically BTC dropped 10% of it's value in 24 hours.

I wonder if this set off a bunch of triggers to sell BTC.

Right, but nutrients and minerals are still being regularly removed from the system--they need to be put back in order for the system to function. Their mass relative to the mass of other inputs doesn't change the calculus.
I hope they are good guys. I hope, if bitcoin goes up more and more, they can use their resources to help solve some of the worlds problems.
There seems to be this difficulty in visual-based programming:

1. If you want to maximize composibility, then you want the "units" (here, the units would be the sheets of paper they're using) as general and uniform as possible. Think lego blocks.

2. If you want to maximize expressivity, then you want the "units" that encapsulate (probably turing complete) code. Think flowcharts or diagrams where each descriptor references a method, or a library, or eve an entire subsystem.

The problem with #1 is that it's extremely difficult to build large, complex projects that way.

A problem with #2 is that the "visual programming" aspect eventually gets revealed to be merely a stepping stone to "real programming" of writing in code.

This project looks to be an example of #2. Am I right? If that is so, does that mean that creating complex projects would naturally lead to larger and larger amounts of code on a single sheet?
A good point, although I read the article that this comment-chain is geared towards. Be more forthright with your condescension please ^_^.

The article was put out by mozilla, so of course their stated point is to make everyone's experience better. I'm in marketing, so I tend to ignore a good portion of the text in marketing/PR-blogs such as this one.

Aside from that, I hadn't thought of this. You're right that if anything, this will increase the load-times of companies who rely on advertising revenue. Perhaps it's preparation?
I think the link counts incoming transactions. I.e. you can always schedule more, but it doesn't mean they're going to be acted on in a reasonable timeframe.

> WASM replaces Javascript as the target of other language compilers.

Ugggh, still no evidence. WASM is a compile target in a sandbox. It is the new Flash or Java applet. Everything else is a wish list from people incredibly insecure about touching JavaScript.

So far any advocation that WASM will magically replace JavaScript severely misunderstands both WASM and JavaScript. I will continue to await something more than mere fantasy.
