And in term of taxes, as someone living in Japan on a temporary visa in Japan, you do not pay taxes in Japan on income from abroad that does not get sent to Japan. I'm not sure about the Brazilian side of things but you might qualify as non-resident and in that case not be on the hook there. Of course, consult with a professional or read the double taxation agreements (which is a dry reading) but it's likely to not be too complicated in your case.

There were magnificent photographers, playing with light, distance, distortion, creating images in the camera, an image that was, at that point, a reality. This is what photography should be.

> "pushing political agenda" "politics shoved in my face" "don't agree with his politics"

Spotify has company created playlists specifically for the travel ban and DACA, permanently in the Browse section. Yes, they are pushing their agenda in users' faces.

Why not just remove the complaining artists? Why remove the entire playlist?

Do you believe that if the political roles were reversed between politician and artist that Spotify would nuke the whole playlist? I sure don't.

You may agree with Spotify's politics, but that doesn't invalidate my point.
You should get a financial adviser. Your problem is that you didn't understand your own risk tolerance. There is no such thing as free money and as you get higher and higher returns, you're accepting higher and higher risk. When you invested in crypto you were thinking about returns but not about the risks (in all fairness crypto evangelists never advertise this half of the equation.) So go get a financial adviser and talk with him about your risk tolerance, how big of a dip in your portfolio can you withstand, that sort of stuff. That'll help you going forward with your money.

As for now, well you're in a bit of psychological bind. No one knows whether crypto is going to be $6000 tomorrow or $8000 and no one knows what it might be in a month. You can't time the market - whether that makes you hold or sell (or partial sale), that's your own decision but you'll have to live with it so really mull it over. If you do sell I would advise totally cutting any crypto news out of your life, if you sit there and watch the price you'll feel sick, no matter which way it goes and if it does peak over your sale price again you'll constantly think you could have timed it (you couldn't have, that's why you're not sure whether to sell or not now.) Also you need to keep work from going downhill, at this point you need your cashflow. If that means a short vacation to reset that's up to you but no watching crypto prices on vacation!

TLDR: you gambled and you're not a gambler. Don't do it again and keep your job in good order.

BENEFITS OF SOFTWARE REENGINEERING AND REFACTORING
In this ever-changing world, software has to be maintainable, reusable and extensibility-friendly to satisfy customers and beat competitors. Software becomes increasingly more complicated, and ignoring technical debt by skipping refactoring will eventually come back and haunt your business. And if you’re just starting the next killer app, reengineering is a practice worth considering. Maybe that old, scratched CD with a bunch of C code and a nerdy developer is everything your company needs right now.

You have a couple options. I'll list them in order of increasing risks, and my order of recommendation.

1. You can sell now and cut your rather massive losses - I'm guessing that's around 40-50% of your initial investment based on a two month old purchase. Advantage: You save any further losses and have no more continued stress (this is big!).

2. You set a price floor and/or ceiling and sell when it hits that level. Same as above but you gain the ability to define a range for potentially cutting losses at the risk of increasing them. The advantage here is you decide the level of continued risk and lack of peace of mind you're willing to live with.

3. You settle in, accept you can lose every cent you invested, and just hold long term, hoping that eventually (1 year, 5 years, 10 years?) you'll make your money back.

One thing to keep in mind with all this is the opportunity cost of capital i.e. a dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow, 100k in a bank account in 2017 is roughly equivalent to 130k in 2027, so if your investment reaches a value of 100k in 2027 you'll still be operating at a rather large loss.

Indeed. I've been using home-built PCs since the 1990s, more than a dozen in total, each with lifespans of 4 or more years (many overlapping with one another in periods of usage). Most using some flavor of Windows NT starting with NT 3.5.

In all that time, I've never experienced a computer getting slower during its usage lifetime. It's a story I have read and heard from others, but I don't know if it's real but caused by some usage behavior I don't exhibit or imagined.

I do know that in the 1990s and even more recently, but to a lesser extent, when I examined other peoples' Windows computers I would find they had installed legions of third-rate applications that were on the precipice of being malware. And this was a cascading problem because people would install something harmful to their PC such as iTunes, Quicktime, or RealPlayer and then attempt to resolve the resulting performance problem by installing a snake-oil system-tuner which in turn made matters even worse. Or they would install an anti-virus tool and their system would slow to a crawl. Unraveling all of this was never fun.

My decades of experience with Windows is that if you simply avoid harmful software, performance will remain essentially uniform. The systems do not decay by some natural process as many popular stories imply.
Windows 10 has a nice feature to "refresh" which supposedly re-installs Windows while keeping programs and settings. I haven't tried it, so no idea how well it works, but it might be worth your time

The irony of a comment like this on an article that only suggests things that are basically free.

Because 500% gains look better than 10%, until you factor in the risk. Coinbase and Robinhood make it easy for people to get into the crypto game without understanding the risks. They see the big returns, and think the train won't stop until after they get off. ETFs are graded from a 1 to a 5 for risk. Crypto goes well beyond that scale.

I think it comes down to our nature to take $10 today and not $50 next year. It's hard to send 10% of your income to a 401k knowing that that money is locked away for another 40 years. This will, I think, naturally cause people to dump money into stuff like Crypto; the line is going up and stories abound of people turning $1k into $100k. Nobody reads beyond the headline to find out that they held over years.

There is no warning on Coinbase saying "hey. you should not due this to the extreme volatility" for any transaction over $500. And when you hit ok, you are asked again "You realize that there is a good chance that you will lose this money?". Coinbase (and I'm not picking on them, but they are the only ones I know) don't care. They want the commission. Schwab, what I use, has a feature that says "Yo. You got some F Grade stocks. You ... You shouldn't do that unless you really know what you are doing."

From the article on failure yesterday:

"There are many different ways to think of failure, most of which seem designed to soften the sting of it. In Courage to Soar, Ms. Biles unpacks her own thoughts on the matter. This memoir, "written" by a 19 year-old and published three months into her explosive post-Olympic popularity, is a pretty blatant cash-grab. Still, the book's purpose, beyond racking up sales, seems to be to inspire younger readers, young girls in particular. But why do we look for advice from the most talented in society? What do they know of our struggles to rise up, dripping and stinking, from the swamp of mediocrity? Here, for example, is Ms. Biles describing how, after some initial struggles, she finally managed to nail a tricky skill – a release move on the uneven bars called a Tkatchev in which you let go of the bar on the upswing and fly backward, usually straddled, over the bar before catching it. "And then, just before practice ended, I said to myself, I'm going to do it this time. And you know what? I actually did!" Must be nice."
I've been thinking about this for a few months, and then even longer than that going back to Bitfinex's 2016 incident. The only definite conclusion I've come to is that something is going on that they are trying to hide. May be it is solvency based, may be it is regulatory.

At the least I can describe with certainty that Tether is the exact opposite of Bitcoin: centralized, opaque, and trust-based. Ironic.

This is impossible unless there are significant restrictions on what kind of operations are possible.

If I have a bag of 15 apples, and I take 10 of those apples at the same time as somebody else takes more than five apples then we have a merge conflict right there because we can't end up with a negative amount of apples in the bag.
"complete miss"? They put his probability of winning somewhere between a quarter and a half -- rather uniquely, among a field of predictors who on average put his probability of winning under 10%.

It sounds like because he won, you believe they should have given him a probability greater than 1/2. That represents a misunderstanding of what probability means.

> Could an actual bank perhaps decide to issue cryptocurrency to its customers at a $1/coin exchange rate?

Banks have to know their customers (KYC) [1]. This requirement is multifarious; banks have KYC obligations to the justice system, the U.S. Treasury, systemic financial regulators (e.g. the Fed), specific financial regulators (e.g. FINRA, the FDIC), et cetera.

In the olden days, a discerning gentleman might request an anonymous, numbered Swiss bank account [2]. Over time, it became clear these "discerning gentlemen" were politicians hiding graft money or arms and drug runners storing profits. Anonymous accounts were globally banned and KYC laws were born.

This is the fundamental flaw of all "stablecoins". They're an overly-complex instantiation of anonymous (and illegal) bank accounts. Needless to say, over-complicating something doesn't make it go away.

That is not at all true. That was certainly not the philosophy on the very successful Apple II series. And it was not how Apple operated in the non-Jobs Mac years in the late 80s and early 90s.

And it's not how they operated for the early part of the 2000s when Apple went on a major open source / standards binge: adopting the standard Intel/PCI architecture, using Unix as the foundation of their OS, open sourcing their kernel, using open source WebKit, etc. etc. Hell, the first version of the iPod even did it right and was basically an external USB hard drive.

But there's been a major turn to the proprietary as the iPhone business has eaten Apple. They've locked that platform down in a big way, and they've failed to embrace the web and cloud in a functional way. There's less and less open standards embrace there, and more lock-in style in both hardware and software.

In a way Apple has always had two hearts -- a Wozniak (the open Apple II) vs Jobs (the closed Mac), long after those two have left the company.

But if you can buy a new Tetherbuck straight from Tether for $1USD, issued in unlimited amounts, why and how could the value of a Tetherbuck ever exceed $1USD?

And on the flip side, if Tether redeems any Tetherbuck for $1USD, on demand and quickly and without solvency concerns, why and how could the value of a Tetherbuck ever drop below $1USD?

Any deviation from $1USD value means the market disbelieves one of the above things.
> Capitalism hates it though if there's no reason to sell new devices.

"Capitalism" (the free market) is us. And I for one do "hate" that CPU performance is not increasing as rapidly as it did in the past. I would very much like to see a return of significant generational performance improvements. I would happily upgrade my PC more often if it resulted in the significant gains of yesteryear.

I find it a curious asceticism to cherish stagnant technology because it means my 5-year old PC is still relevant. Yeah, that's the silver lining. But let's be real: if you had a PC that was twice as fast in every performance dimension that I could afford today, I would buy it.
