Generally, the statute for civil forfeiture is five years. Because the Bitcoin was illegally acquired (through hacking) in 2015, the statute would have expired this year, even though the underlying crime (hacking) only has a 2 year SOL.

According to the filing, the last transaction involved in the hack was in November 2015, so the statute probably would have expired this month.

Depends on which inefficiency you want to avoid. Do you want to not use modern machinery, or do you want to pay for modern machinery? Each approach has a cost, in different ways.

Finding places to sleep would have a massive effect on how far he traveled in a given day. Unlike the west, pitching a tent beside the road is less an option. Partly the weather, partly the density of undergrowth and surface water, and largely the cultural unacceptability. A lot of time each day would go to finding places that looked good enough to work and avoid interference.

I love Python but I have been hearing this for years. Its programming newbies attempting to gain new skills and searching stackoverflow 100s of times like I used to. Also, I search for jobs online...Python is not the backend tool for the vast majority of companies.

A tricky thing about flagging "in the wild exploited vulnerabilities" in a title like this is that it suggests that sev:crit vulnerabilities in other updates that aren't flagged like this aren't being exploited in the wild. We get confirmation of only a subset of exploited vulnerabilities.

We'd be better off with a more neutral title, like "fixing severe vulnerabilities" or something like that.

The Tesla Semi doesn't have any announced pricing or an availability date so it's impossible to get an idea of how competitive price-wise it might be. This is the big problem with comparing future products.

The AC700 does have a developer mode. That doesn't mean there's any Linux distribution which will install on it.

For a while, there were, but they disappeared, and now it's a web of 404s and obsolete documents. Most recommended chrubuntu, but (1) that relies on obsolete ChromeOS components, which introduce security issues (2) someone said that's now dead too.

I'll see if Chromium builds for it. Thanks for the pointer. There's a lot of AC700's out there.

Yes, some states had big polling errors, while others like GA and AZ were reasonably accurate. But the model doesn't care if the polls are off in FL by 0.1% or 10% because it's a winner take all scenario. So while large polling errors are surprising, they have the same exact impact as a small polling error in a close race, which isn't surprising. But people like to cherry pick and say "how did you get X so wrong?" rather than "how did you get X/10 so right?" In fact, Trump might only end up winning 3 "upsets": FL, NC and ME-2, but they were all under 2% difference in the polls, so no one is shocked to see Trump win there. WI and MI would have been much bigger upsets, but that didn't end up happening and a 20k vote win is as good as a 2M vote win in the EC.

The 10% odds come from the path to 270. Here are the 9 states / districts that polled within 2% pre-election (considered toss ups): NE-2, AZ, FL, NC, ME-2, GA, OH, IA, TX. Even if Trump won all of those, he wouldn't get to 270. Using 50/50 odds for all 9 toss ups, Trump only gets a clean sweep 11% of the time. He would then still need another state like PA, WI or MI to get to 270. That's why Silver said that Biden's chances are so high, specifically because Biden could overcome a 2016-level polling error in every toss-up state and still win. In fact we saw 2016-level polling errors in some battleground states, but not all.

Another way to view it, is you have a 1/6 (16%) chance of rolling a 1 on a 6-sided die. Even if all 53 states and districts were projected at 84% confidence, and rolling a 1 meant "upset" and rolling 2-6 meant "polls were accurate", you'd end up with 8-9 states resulting in upsets! 84% confidence still means a lot of surprises. Their final FL prediction was only 69% confidence. Also, confidence intervals aren't linear, meaning that a 95% confidence anticipates half as many upsets as a 90% confidence interval. That +5% means -50% upsets, so 69 or 84% confidence is really not as sure a thing as it might sound.

So, yes it's worth re-examining why polling was very accurate in AZ & GA but very off in TX & FL (specifically Latino's in Miami). But a 10% chance was not crazy IMO given how easy it was for Biden to overcome even huge polling / vote disparities in multiple states and still win.

Again, those who disagree are free to get great odds in the betting markets.

I'm saying that many liberals seem to think any criticism is assumed to be coming from conservatives.

You realize how presumptuous and lacking in self-awareness it is to dismiss criticism as essentially "clearly the enemy," instead of actually considering the content of their argument?

You're right that this is not optimized for the Web, but I also think there is a use case for this.

Sometimes you just want for code to be able to run at all, even with a sizable download, if it means you don't need to do any porting work. For example if you have many years of work on a codebase, and you can run it on the web with almost no effort, that can be really useful.

I agree that we want most things on the web to be optimized for the web. But sometimes business or other reasons matter more than code size.

Does anyone have the text of the law, or a detailed description of it?

> Under a newly approved law, any company whose top executive earns 100 times more than its average worker will pay an extra 0.1% surcharge on its annual business-tax payment. If a CEO makes 200 times more than the average employee, the surcharge increases to 0.2%, and so on per multiple of 100.

What do they mean by "earns," are bonuses included? Nonmonetary compensation like having your car or mortgage paid for directly? Increase in stock value that's part of your comp package?

I'm sure folks will try to game this to get around it, I'm just curious how.

Also it sounds like this is a surcharge on taxes paid, not actually a new tax on revenue. So if you pay $1 million to the city of San Francisco in taxes, and your CEO earns exactly 100x more than the average worker, you now have to pay... $1,001,000?
Ask HN: Which banks have the best credit card security implementations?

Long term, a new HTTP META method would be interesting. I wonder if something like that has ever been considered. Providers like Cloudflare would hopefully be more lenient with these requests.
They’ve already built a successful business around Pure Basic for over 20 years, so I’m sure they know what they’re doing.

The license only gives you one years worth of updates though, it’s cheaper than Purebasic but with that you get lifetime support and updates. For me the one year thing would be very troubling, but I’m not really in their market.
The energy out increases by the height level as well.

If the process was 100% reversible, and friction free (probably a couple other loss factors I forgot about) it would be energy positive as the oxygen is making its way back up in the air is an external energy input. Of course in the real world both assumptions are wrong by more than enough that you can never get this to work.

I don't know if these answers are brilliant or not, but if you're reading this and are an entry level software engineer trying to get a job at Microsoft, don't take this advice, it's terrible.

But I don't think you'll be asked these questions. What are your strengths and weaknesses? Why should we hire you? Come on, that's ridiculous. All the interviews I've been in were trying to get answers to those questions, of course, but I've never seen them posed directly. Focus first on algorithms, leetcode, etc.

As for salary: if you approach Microsoft and talk about options you will sound uniformed, because equity at companies like MSFT is in the form of RSUs. You should say something vague about how you expect an overall compensation package in line with the market, and let it be known that you are comparing various options. Once they make the offer, you will counter by telling them that company X offered you such and such, and they will raise their offer. Sometimes markedly.

> The tax will levy an extra 0.1% to 0.6% on gross receipts made in San Francisco for companies whose highest paid executive makes 100 times or more its median worker’s salary. The amount levied will increase in 0.1% brackets proportionally to the pay ratio. A company whose highest paid employee earns 200 times more than its median San Francisco worker will get a extra 0.2% charge on its gross receipts. For companies whose CEO makes 300 more, the charge jumps to 0.3% and son on. The tax caps at 0.6%, and only companies with gross receipts over $1.17 million will be targeted.

> Under the measure, gross receipts and CEO compensation will include money made from stock options, bonuses, tax refunds, and property, a caveat seen by many as a way to target the tech sector where CEOs are often compensated in non-salaried bonuses. Tech is expected to account for 17% of the tax revenues, according to an estimate by the city’s chief economist, while retail and financial firms are expected to account for 23% of the revenues each.

> The CEO tax is expected to generate between $60 million to $140 million per year.

An oxygen free warehouse is overkill. Iron needs both oxygen and water to rust, so you can store it in a warehouse with just some climate control to manage the humidity. You could treat it like any other flammable powder, where you keep dust down as much as possible, and keep flame sources away.

Fine steel wool will burn readily, yet it keeps underneath the sink and only rusts over a period of years.

This makes no sense at all. The notation can basically be anything you want - you could, if you wanted, invent a new notation for IPv4 or IPv6 right now.

What actually matters is the packet format.

You cannot make it backwards compatible because it is impossible to expand the IP header's address space without it becoming unparseable to existing network equipment.

"Ah" you say, "but we could put the extra bits after the end of what is basically an IPv4 packet"

Well no, you can't do that either because it would require executing a global seizure of existing IPv4 space and reorganising the entirety of the IPv4 internet into a hierarchical manner where your "IPv7" extra bits can be processed prior to the final destination.

IPv6 works fine and is well-designed. Hardware and software implementations have been in-production for decades now; Google alone see 30% of their total traffic over v6.

Fundamentally, support of any network protocol is subject to Internet participants having compatible kit; x86-64 wasn't immune to this; if you didn't buy the chips, you couldn't use the software. The reason it actually won is that the Itanium architecture was completely different and resorted to translating x86 instructions which, unsurprisingly, ran like treacle and never made it to the consumer market either.

The idea of inventing yet another internet protocol is patently absurd when you consider it would require yet more upgrades across the globe to hardware and software in order to support it.
True, there are a couple of different senses in which “gold standard” has come to be used. I was treating it as “the benchmark by which all else is compared”.

But even so, I’d strongly disagree with any claim that a default practice exists for icons on the web. Images PNG, images SVG, background images PNG, background images SVG, inline SVG of a couple of varieties, icon fonts: all of these are extremely widely used, and none is in any way “standard” (let alone a reference paragon).

Funny you should mention FontAwesome. I don’t know what direction they’re taking it in, but I look at how they’ve deployed the icons on their site, and… I’m seeing a lot of inline SVG.
That doesn't seem all that relevant to the topic of taxes, and even if it did, I don't believe there's a very good correlation between increases in CA taxes and improvements in the housing situation.
The best CLI manpage I've ever seen address this was linux's `ip` command (of the iproute2 package/tool suite).

Your account can be frozen and confiscated, but you have legal recourse.
