I don't understand. Does Nordea trade in bitcoin? This is a quote in this Reuters article ( https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-nordea-bitcoin/banking-gr... ):

> “The risks are seen as too high and the protection is insufficient for both the co-workers and the bank,” a Nordea spokeswoman told Reuters in an e-mail, adding that employees who currently own cryptocurrencies will not be forced to sell them, although recommended to do so.

They don't seem to say anything about Nordea workers having any privy information. By their rationale, I don't understand why they wouldn't be unable to declare any instrument off the table. I'm kind of surprised that this kind of unilateral change of workers' rights is allowed in Sweden.
Seems to me like it's Disconnect and HTTPS Everywhere rolled into one with a UX that's targeted towards less techy folks.
The search terms I've used were "Yuan dollar relationship" I'm not entirely sure if these are the best terms to use in this case but these were the ones with the least amount of confirmation bias, so you'll only have to deal with the usual search engine bias.
New tax bill specifies that currency-to-currency transfers are now taxable events, I assume this falls in line. It's not only about turning things into fiat.

Really the law's going to have to adapt here if people are ever going to use crypto as an actual currency. Owing capital gains every time you order a latte is nuts.
In Texas? Probably not.
>uBlock icon skyrocketing.

Some sites have 100s of fallback ads and trackers (usually just domains and subdomains), once tracker 1 failed to load, it tries to load 2 which is the same file on a server, but with different URL. They have literally 100s or 1000s of such fallback URLs.
(This thought experiment may be completely wrong, I'm unfamiliar with US tax law)

If people were attempting to propose improvements via forking and this were true, would that not create rather dire tax liabilities?

Say you bought into bitcoin 'original', and then it forks into bitcoin 'improved' as well. Loads of people agree that the improved version is much better and switch to it, leaving the original near worthless.

But then if this interpretation of tax rules were true you'd be left paying cap gains on the full value of the improved version, rather than the difference between original and improved at sale time. Ouch.

Your comment makes no sense. Do you as a customer seek out the most scammy companies to do business with?
This is still wild speculation. "Elephants live a long time and have multiple copies of p53" (these retrotransposed copies so they are under different promoters, missing introns, etc ...) does not equate to what you said. Look at all the functions for p53 on the right of this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TP53

It is not difficult at all to look at a genome and find some pattern that you can weave a plausible story around.

Also, here are the conclusions of your two papers:

>"To our knowledge, this study offers the first supporting evidence based on empirical data that larger animals with longer life spans may develop less cancer, especially elephants.

[...]

Compared with other mammalian species, elephants appeared to have a lower-than-expected rate of cancer, potentially related to multiple copies of TP53."

>"The genetic and molecular mechanisms by which longevity evolves remain largely unexplained"

Now consider how simplistic the idea behind these studies is: "Elephants/whales live a long time and are rarely observed to get cancer relative to humans, we should look into why". Investigation of the most basic aspects of the problem has only begun a few years ago...
What's ambiguous about that answer? "the personal data we collected to process your order will be deleted" sounds pretty clear. Obviously a copy of an ID is personal data.
Yes, I agree that the JS-less version could be more discoverable. I learned about it years ago when DDG was new, in some online discussion forum - perhaps even here on HN - and have been using it via a keyworded bookmark ever since. I never even visit their title page.
Maybe you could get them to accept a notarized translation (Beglaubigte Übersetzung) of your ID. It's gonna add about 50€ up-front cost, so I don't know if that's worth the price or the hassle at your project scope.
News on the actual clock has been a little sparse over the last couple years but last I heard they had finished drilling out the main entrance and vertical shafts for the clock and some of the large central components had been created (iirc the winder and the escapement). The latest update on their long now clock Texas website is from 02011 though. Biggest problem with having your project be a pet project of a mega-rich guy like Bezos, it can die/wither on a whim, not sure if that's what's happened but it's been a _long_ time with no news.
Disagree. Barter is supposed to be taxed; doing 'professional courtesy' freebees is avoiding that. Ethically not much different. Heck, the cop doesn't even get the money.

And police do their job because they want to help people. Movie plots aside.

Police families that abuse the privilege, the officer will call the family's officer and mention this. You think the repercussions will be less than a fine? Think again.

I know, police are in the public eye for misdeeds/corruption by some. Some of that is because police are so much 'on display' all the time. We all see them at their duties. They're not sitting in an office. But ethics are ethics, and to pull their chain, but give the rest of us a free pass, is disingenuous.
This seems to be a greater indictment of taxation in general rather than the notion of an asset created to represent something of value in the market. An unscrupulous state actor could manipulate this system to their advantage.
Yes. Here is a paper from some Japanese researchers in 2015: http://www.hapis.k.u-tokyo.ac.jp/public/hiroyuki_shinoda/res...

Even if the exact issues aren't by design, I have absolutely no doubt that the competent person that hired incompetent programmers to ensure policy holders have no idea what they're signing up for or how to make a claim was very much a premeditated malicious maneuver. Bonuses for them are cheap workers and scapegoats for when they piss off the wrong people.
To put it in context, Russian Federation has only 15% larger population. Japan's population is 39% of US. Japan is pretty big, even if only 61th by area.
Very interesting.

I wonder how DDG's new privacy tools compare to uBlock and Brave.

Is Twitter really the official way to notify people of danger? Or is there also a cell phone warning system?
Again the issue is whether the fork actually gains any credence at all. If your dog can create a fork which has the same amount of influence behind it as Bitcoin Cash, then it will gain credence. Otherwise it doesn't matter if there is a fork.

That said, surely we will see more forks. The Segwit2x was called off but it will be back with additional force. We might see additional 1-2 more forks with credence and re-using the name "Bitcoin" but 50? is just making up numbers.
They do that today too.

Amazon is an interesting example. Yes, they grossly reinvest rather than pay dividends, but they don't invest in employee pay/compensation directly ('wastes' as per common view of what wall street wants)
I think this article is making a serious mistake in confusing different kinds of forks.

We use the word fork to describe the act of commandeering the head of the existing BTC blockchain and using your own miners to continue it in a way that diverges from the original chain. This can have a negative effect on the value of both chains due to inverse network effects.

We also use the word fork to describe the act of cloning a branch of code and than adding new commits on top of it to create new software. This is good since more coins increase experimentation and drive innovation and does not in any way effect the existing BTC network or its value (unless you believe we are already in a zero-sum game with cryptos where every new coin reduces BTC).

This article leads with "Some 19 Bitcoin forks came out last year -- but up to 50 more could happen this year" and then completely conflates the two by talking about Litecoin et. al. and Bitcoin Cash interchangeably.

To my knowledge, Bitcoin Cash is the only 'true' fork that survived beyond the splitting of the BTC chain, but please correct me if I'm wrong on that.

It would be scaremongering if I thought it was intentional.
would be nice to add some kind of json feed.

evil-lisp-state (used by default in Spacemacs) is a paredit-like thing that seems to work with parens, braces, and brackets in any language I happen to be using. I've used it with Python and Javascript without really thinking about it.

I've never used paredit in emacs, but I suspect that it might be amiable to working on Javascript as well.

More annoying to me would be all of the extra quotes and commas I need compared to Hiccup implementations in Clojure.
Would that not be considered insider trading, in which case the employee is privately committing a criminal offense, and thus does not require any additional restrictions?
I think for most insurers it's more profitable to provide less service and preventative care for two specific reasons. One, once a person is 65 they are covered by Medicare and are the government's problem. Two, if someone under 65 does get seriously sick or injured, chances are they're going to have to leave their job or get fired. With most people getting insurance through work, the insurance company isn't on the hook anymore either.
Barter is supposed to be taxed. Its tax evasion. A small matter, but so is not writing a ticket. After all, officers have discretion - the public safety is their concern, not making money for the city. I've been stopped a couple of times, only gotten a ticket once. Because I'm not a public menace, and that's clear once the officer talks to me. No special card involved.
I think a lot of the problem is I can't trust your reputation unless I know you or you have some other proven characteristics to help create that trust. There are a few people on HN like that, but it's rare. In real life if you present an opinion I know what you do for a living and potentially how educated that opinion is. On the internet I don't.

That means that if you're an econ PhD and you tell me a basic statement, I'll trust it in real life. On the internet you'd have to prove you're a PhD first. It really does limit the conversation we can have. A lot of the time I find myself talking to someone (or arguing with them) and realizing they don't have the framework to hold the conversation - they'd need to read a half dozen books and do some intensive study because they want to work through problems that have already been solved.
You could make the claim that China was devaluing its currency in 1995 but since then the Yuan has been gaining in value relative to the dollar.[1] I think that became a talking point back when it was true and people have just been repeating it ever since without reexamining.

It's a political problem not an economic one. From an economic perspective, I am happy that the Chinese government wants to subsidize American solar installations with Chinese capital. As an American worker or American solar technology innovator, I am unhappy that I can't compete.

BOTTOM LINE: you don't win political power/elections by pandering to consumers - you win by pandering to producers.

That's quite cool, thank you. For some reason it I can't make it work with Firefox's "search keyword" (the feature of starting a query with a keyword on the smart-bar which forwards that query to the search engine of your choice)

It used to have this power and it turned all the countries in its neighborhood into tributary states. Which, all things considered, was not that bad, since it was overall a peaceful and stable relationship.

It’s perfectly rational, efficient and good policy to use social media to reach people in an emergency.

Twitter has spent billions to deploy a worldwide network that people engage with to communicate short status updates. They also have the content, and scale to have a large percentage of the population actually familiar with how to use their tool.

To get an equivalent reach and scale and level of familiarity with a government run tool would be a $100 billion project doomed to fail.

Should Twitter be the only way that government reaches the population to deliver critical updates? Of course not, but it absolutely must be one of the primary ways, and in many cases because the system design of Twitter is so much better, it will be the channel with the most accurate and up-to-date data.

I mean the best part of that is then Homeland can designate Twitter as “critical national infrastructure” and put their agents in the data centers!

In this thread, both the conspiracist and the "conventional wisdom" rebuttalist seem to be talking about big alliances?

As anyone who has tried to get anything done on multiple continents knows, any complicated goal (e.g., build a multinational pipeline through remote and wildly insecure areas) will tend to lose out to the interests of locals. A necessary but insufficient condition for success of such goals is to spend enough to make locals' interests coincide with one's own. The difficulties faced by this hypothetical pipeline lead one to doubt its construction would profit in the long run.

The advantage of the USA military-industrial complex is that they actually DGAF what happens as a result of all of our profligate and evil war spending. The spending itself is the goal, and they're just as happy to siphon off a stream of resources supporting ISIS in Syria as off some other stream supporting Kurds in northern Iraq. That's why our international policy (and the media narrative carefully curated to provide cover for it) is so schizophrenic. We believe in democracy!/Down with Morsi!/We DGAF!/War! That is a big conspiracy, but nobody wants to talk about that.
Crypto markets are small enough that there's a risk of employees buying in and then evangelizing clients in order to boost their own investments. It's basically impossible to do that in traditional markets.

The real problem with JSX is that it's almost HTML, but not quite, so you constantly have to fight against your assumptions about how it should work.

At least JS is really just JS, and developers have been reading, mentally modeling and reasoning about JS -> execution translation for decades.

Ghostery makes/made its money selling things like a report on what advertising ends up being on your site, which you as site owner might quite reasonably want to know. (Advertising space is sold and resold at dizzying speed.)

IIRC Ghostery recently sold itself to Cliqz, which in turn is owned by Burda, a publishing conglomerate. Mozilla owns a bit too.

7 Social Selling Tips
I occasionally get trolled around my previous company, Opobox, an early social networking company that I ran from 2003-2006. As far as I can tell, the trolling theme is that since I ever was associated with any kind of social networking company, that somehow taints me/DuckDuckGo. It's purpose was to help reunite old friends and classmates, and it actually helped develop my privacy views and practices for what became DuckDuckGo.

For example we did what I think were some innovative things:

--We collected the minimum amount of information possible.

--Allowed people to automatically remove all their minimal information permanently with one click or email.

--Actually charged money as a business model instead of using advertising.

--Never worked with any third-parties in terms of data targeting (and didn't need to since that wasn't our business model).

Of course, these also made the company ultimately not able to compete in the space, which was completely subsumed by Facebook.

I took these privacy ideas to DuckDuckGo, though, and realized in the case of Web search the minimum amount of information needed is actually zero. Hence, our privacy policy.
Well, the correct word is "hard" fork. Bitcoin gold is another hard fork of Bitcoin which survived.

Though there are several software forks based on bitcoin client implementation like Bitcoin XT and Bitcoin Unlimited.
Do I have you right here, what you seen to be saying is that the well-known images of rows of USA police/soldiers protecting citizens from racists is false? That there was no rule of law, and that the USA government was the force behind racially directed violence? And that still, the government ignored the rule of law and exacts widescale violent action against its citizens motivated by politics/race?

I recently tried Google Compute Cloud and concluded it's got almost as awful and crufty an interface as AWS. Almost. What is it with cloud providers, they can't hire a designer? Or they don't take them seriously? This stuff is terrible.

So I'm still sold vs. AWS, and I have to run some nodes, and I think great, I can put the business credit card on a cloud account and run stuff. But then Google refuses to let me sign up because every time I try it says "Unable to verify with this phone number.". This could be because I can only access Google via proxies and they are not in the country of my phone number (China or HK). So perversely I am left in a situation where to get Google to allow me to give them money I have to first open a proxy compute node with another Google account in the jurisdiction my phone number is in, install a proxy, then access them through that. But you'd think they probably block their own IPs, so that probably won't work.

So Hetzner, maybe you got my business.
