Capital gains tax on securities (like tether) is assessed on the difference between what you paid for the security and what you sold the security for. You can denominate it in whatever you like (tether, bitcoin, gold, sheep, whatever), but it's assessed in USD at time of sale.

Essentially, you're being taxed on the income you got from holding that security, not for trading, it's just assessed when you trade.

> And a small issue on top of that: If you define /route, /route/ will still throw a 404. The right solution would be to serve the page on the two routes but set one as canonical source. But you have to do that manually.

In most cases you can get away with wholesale removing and redirecting all trailing slashes in middleware.

> Well to be honest all human history can be described down to greed - all wars, conquests, colonisation, banking, investing, stocks and more. It's all about making profit.

Blockchain's early history was basically crypto-nerds trying to find a new application of cryptography. Back then, people would give away Bitcoins for free in "Bitcoin fountains", and discussion focused on protocol issues and other aspects of building the technology.

Greed came into the picture long afterwards.
I wonder if publishing in read-only mode the banks databases will stop this feeling that blockchain will solve the world economy.

I don't quite understand your comment, Osaka is in Japan so ekianjo wasn't really dismissing the claim of the parent. Furthermore they provide interesting context as to why this might be more prevalent in Japan in other comments in this submission. I don't really see them being "very passionate that the article is somehow misguided", just adding some much needed context for people like me who have never set foot in the land of the rising sun.

Full disclosure: I have zero exposure to crypto. Not my cup of tea.
I stopped reading when I saw Nouriel Roubini. He's a smart economist and while I think he has good points on certain things that are wrong with crypto, the way he fundamentally delivers his views in this matter are ridiculous and bitter.

He's been overly passionate (and aggressive?) on trying to make sure he's right. He's shouting it from the rooftops. He keeps repeating it's all a bubble. All good and well, and it very well might be, BUT that in itself doesn't give him credibility. You can say the same thing about the stock market, and once every economic cycle when we see a major correction, you'll be right. A broken clock is also right twice a day.

At the same time, economists usually aren't very wealthy people.. maybe they are overly sceptical of new developments.
Fired has legal implications. They will do it, but if they don't get all the paperwork right you can sue for wrongful termination. Thus they would rather not fire you if they can get you to resign.

If they are going to fire you and offer your the chance resign. While it means you resigned and thus you can't sue, it also means that when (if...) someone checks references they will say "yes, he/she worked here, and left of his own will". Since any big company will not say more than that no matter who good you are this is a perfect reference and you start over. If you are fired they have to say instead "yes, he/she worked here and until fired"

Note that fired is very different from being laid off.

That's much of the math behind AI, but there's much more to building real things with it. It's a cross-disciplinary field touching:

- Math, as you say

- Software engineering, especially data engineering

- Design - since the the math and engineering enable new kinds of problems to be solved by computers, there's a lot of unexplored design territory

- The domains of all the input and output modalities it touches, like linguistics, computer vision, etc.

- Increasingly, ethics

Sure, each of these topics are already covered by existing university departments, but the boundaries between departments are arbitrary and often limiting anyway. Why not establish a new locus that brings much of the above under one physical and administrative roof?
"Now imagine not having a classical style Sinatra app, but a modular one."

I think the author ran into an issue where files were loaded differently in development mode than in production mode. Likely in development mode only the required files were loaded and the file with the more important routes wasn't. I wonder why that didn't show up in their tests.

But I also wonder if they aren't using Sinatra for too large projects. If you have routes defined over several files, it's likely to get problematic. Maybe they should be using a more complete web framework like Padrino or go all the way with Rails.
That's a very strange response. This is an article about Linux specifically. The author tags the article with Linux and mentions that it's part of a series of articles about Linux. It's not in and of itself a bad idea to have articles that specialise in a specific unix flavour.

Secondly, SIGABRT will cause the process to abort and dump core, will it not? That would give you a userspace stack trace (if you load the core into a debugger) whereas this is how you get the kernel-side stack trace of a still-running process.

I don't know of a way to get the kernel stack trace of a process in a cross-platform way. Is there such a thing?

I wouldn't call it "necessary" at all. Some of it is useful shorthand and steals some credibility for you if you're dealing with people who are way too deep in startupland, but most of the advice I've ever read from Paul Graham is on the more basic end of things.

If you have some basic notion of running a business, you probably won't find much in the way of revelations there. (Some of this is the "Seinfeld is Unfunny" effect, because the better advice you'll find in his blog is now common knowledge, but more is that running a tech business is still running a business.) If you aren't familiar with running a business I can see it being a useful naming-of-parts exercise, though.

For example: assume in China that people in cities generally have more opportunities to get educated.

That'd mean if you live in a city and have not had much education, it might be because you are less intelligent (on average). While if you're in a rural area, a lack of education might not mean anything, because you have less opportunity to get educated in general, regardless of intelligence.

If you did a simple regression in this case with years of education and air pollution (more common in cities) in the model, I think you'd find that -- controlling for education -- air pollution would be correlated with a reduction of intelligence, even if the air pollution itself wasn't causal.

There are ways of controlling for this, and I'm not at all saying the study didn't take this into account, but it'd be useful to know more. There are a lot of ways (as in any model) the relationship could be correlated without being causal.

Not too sure what is the point. Colleges already have a hard time to fill their engineering places with domestic students. When I studied last year at Stanford 50%-60% of the students were from China and India and most of them went back afterwards. I feel like the US might be spreading its human resources too thin trying to dance on every party and solving the problem by throwing lots of money at it.

Well, it could at least sort for categories with the highest possibility.
Well homeless people do die in parisian streets in the cold winter days but beyond that I really doubt that you'd be very likely to get killed sleeping on a bench in France (or frankly in most civilized places in the world, why would people randomly kill people in the street?). You'd probably end up with a cold though, parisian nights are seldom hot enough to comfortably sleep without any protection. Regardless I wouldn't exactly advise doing it, theft is definitely possible.
The straight forward reasons:

* Japan is pretty safe. While it's not a good idea to sleep rough, you won't end up dead.

* The climate is rather mild. Unless it's mid-winter or a during a typhoon, the weather won't kill you either.
* The culture of drinking after work.

* Lower alcohol tolerance, so it's easier to accidentally drink too much.

* That the Tokyo metro doesn't run at night, and many people live far from work.

Perhaps more interesting:

* A lot of people in Japan wear a business suit daily, but make very little money. Most people wear a suite to work unless it requires a uniform. Even then they might go to work in a suit and change.

* In general Japanese society is not class-aware. There are big economic differences, but you cannot immediately tell what somebody’s social class is.

* There isn't much of an underclass to provide cheap hotels and taxis.

In my experience with web applications at non-Googley scale, most performance problems are occurring in places like SQL queries, rather than the raw speed of the web application stack itself.

Another really common mistake is tasks being performed inside the web request that should instead be offloaded to background job processing. If something is going to take more than milliseconds, it should be a job. If you see a PR where someone is bumping up the HTTP timeout in order to keep their slow processing request from being timed out by the webserver, they are doing something inline that should actually be a job.

"Using the same standards that categorize 90% of science fiction as trash, crud, or crap, it can be argued that 90% of film, literature, consumer goods, etc. is crap. In other words, the claim (or fact) that 90% of science fiction is crap is ultimately uninformative, because science fiction conforms to the same trends of quality as all other artforms"

Instead of focusing on being 10×, I like focusing on producing the same amount of value, with only 10% of the effort. Mathematically the same, but much more approachable and meaningful goal.

That means avoiding unnecessary features, not wasting time on dead ends, not wasting time on speed when speed doesn't matter, and so on and so forth.

I have no experience with Ravenbrook MPS. But from the documentation it appears to contain both tracing garbage collectors (automatic memory management) as well as manual memory managers.

Not dealing with refcounts implies using a tracing garbage collector. There is a wide range of literature out there about such a comparison, but in general I cannot compare the two at all because of the vast fundamental differences.
Pessimism and optimism are different lenses to view the world, I don't think there's a solid case to be made that privileges one over the other. Looking at the world through either lens distorts what we see. Take global warming as an example. If I am optimistic, I could believe that we will curb carbon emissions and convert the world to use clean energy. If I am pessimistic, I could believe that we'll face severe ecological devastation and food shortages.

"Hope for the best, expect the worst" is only possible if you are capable of seeing both the optimistic solution to a problem and the pessimistic consequences for failing to solve a problem. If you limit yourself to only an optimistic or only a pessimistic viewpoint, you are crippling your ability to deal with problems rationally.

All I mean is that if a "moon" were very small, say a few mm or cm, then it can accumulate enough of a charge imbalance for forces from ambient magnetic fields in a stellar system to push it out of it's nominal gravitational orbit. That size limit might seem trivial, but the ratio of an atom to a paper clip is about the same as a paper clip to the Earth's moon, so it cuts off half of the geometric range.
