This seems to be assuming that all tokens do not generate any income and serve no other purpose other than speculation. In the case of many Polkadot, that is not the case. The tokens are more analogous to a stock.
I believe that if the leak is proven to be in the public interest, no one should go to jail (but that it should be the rare exception).

I also don't believe Snowden deserves to be in jail (or rather that he should be pardoned). Sometimes you can't fix things without breaking the law - everyone does it on a daily basis with few consequences (jaywalking, etc). Sometimes it has to be done on a larger scale in order to shed light on injustices - otherwise the power of the few will prevail over the power of the many.
I suppose my response to that is you're waving your hand and saying "there is hundreds of years of evidence" without actually pointing to any.

Social media is still a far better platform for getting out an unpopular message than newspapers, radio and television. The past hundred years of those media have been marked by minority groups (political, but also in the common sense of the word) really struggling to get a voice.
Joe Biden administration can remove media (also took over Palestinian domains as well) it does not like. George W Bush assasinated media he did not like:

The reality is that if the minimum wage had stayed consistent with productivity and inflation since 1968, America’s lowest earners would be making around $24 an hour by now, an analysis by Jacobin found last year. Fifteen dollars is not asking for a lot. In fact, it’s asking for less than the bare minimum of what we should be providing our workers.
I think the concept you're looking for is "discretionary income", which I do believe the VC may have 20x more discretionary than the tech worker, who may have 50x more discretionary income than the janitor.

Yeah, I doubt Thiel came up with this himself. Was probably recommended by accountants whom should all be familiar with Roth IRAs.

But the possibilities of windfall tax-free profits made sure everyone kept quiet about it.

I’m not accepting your assertion as fact. There are currently multiple civil rights movements facing organized conservative resistance.

Gold is cheaper than ultramarine, and gold has a very stable solid form as does ultramarine (lapis lazuli).

There also wasn't a lot of point in using the particular Tyrian purple in art as indigo blue and cochineal red were much more prevalent and worked fine as purple in art.

The fact that Tyrian purple was lost is why Roman Catholic Cardinals wear red now instead of purple.

> The greatest and most rapid creation of wealth in human history occurred in the US under an even more extreme form of American individualism than exists today.

Do you mean the 1800s? Manifest Destiny? That time when the Americans bought Louisiana for peanuts to double the size of their country, kicked out Mexico to double the size of their country again, bought Alaska to add another 20%, again, for peanuts, and "conveniently" wiped out all the original populations in those territory and provided free land for probably half their population? And also leveraged their common language and culture to steal, pardon me, transfer, industrial technology from Britain?

Gee, I wonder how they got rich, every nation in the world should have been able to reproduce that, right?

I'm not saying that Americans didn't also do amazing things as individuals, but it's REALLY, REALLY hard to be sure that the end result came from those amazing things or from the shady things I listed above.
We have a progressive tax system, which generally taxes higher incomes at greater rates. Maybe we do want the Roth to be an unlimited shelter, but that has generally not been the approach we have taken.

> The "problem" in this case is that Thiel was already a billionaire to begin with, and such luck on top of existing wealth is what irrationally bothers people.

This isn't how I feel and I don't actually think that is the case ProPublica is making. Tax breaks can also be understood as payments - is it in the interest of the US to pay Thiel to put his money in a Roth? How much should the US pay? How many of your tax dollars would you want to go to funding tax breaks for Thiel?

I am sure people are vindictive as well, but the tax questions seem both meaningful and work asking to me.
Its per year. Founders often are not taking salary or much of one for several years.

You can have millions of liquid assets and not have any income and be eligible for income related thresholds.

Yes, I could let other things slide. The issue I have with that is then those things become more urgent further down the road. Or they bubble up to become more significant because they weren't addressed.

My manager feels okay/good about the work I am doing. That confuses me though because as I said I have said explicitly to her that I am not accomplishing anything. If I continue with what I am doing and the teams still have good output then it looks like I have done a good job.
That's not allowed.

I expect if you have enough there, you could use the same sorts of schemes as other illiquid wealth.

Having the courage to try stuff out is the biggest 'tragedy of the commons' problem we face

People think it's taxation or CO2 emissions driving climate change, but they are such a tiny fraction of the lack of courage problem.

Because in the end that's how progress happens, a bunch of people trying so many different approaches and statistically one of them sticks, then everybody copies and adopts that...and that's how truly big leap forward are made (in the capitalistic sense)

I am convinced that it should be nature to kill business idas and economic ideas, the brain should not do any triage.

Instead we triage more than ever because all we care about is the prize of the monetary compensation and associated climbing of the social ladder . It is truly a tragedy of the commons because if we collectively decided to try and take on our ideas , then the amount of quality of life unleashed by the successful ones would make what we today consider "striking it rich" pale in comparison.

We are all guilty of it.
> I work for a company that uses this data to match terminally ill patients with niche treatments and clinical trials, and the work literally saves and prolongs lives.

Talked with a company that made similar claims about what they are doing, but it turns out they were really ensuring that their users where choosing the medication from the highest bidder rather than the one that was really in the the patient's best interests.

The mental gymnastics they did to justify they were doing what was in the patient's best interests was fun to observe, but in the end they were just a tool of a large pharmaceutical company, exploiting sick people for profit.

Quick cynicism sanity check: who pays your company, your users or the "niche" treatment provider?

If it's the former, that sounds like it's good work.

If it's the latter I would recommend being a bit more skeptical of the business motives of your employer and their customers.

We have a disagreement in what makes a public figure then. I believe that over a certain level of wealth, the wealth alone makes someone a public figure or a figure of significance (since wealth = power, and public status also = power, and celebrity status = power).

If someone is powerful enough to have power over other people (which the wealthy certainly are), then they should account for that power with appropriate responsibility.

If you don't want to be a public figure, don't accumulate exorbitant amounts of wealth.
I remember seeing a similar attack on iphones before. What I understood was it cutoff the power to the device before the TPM could log a passcode attempt. This [1] seems to be similar to what I remember.

Bypassing the Play Store is also a bad sign, especially from chineese company. This is bypassing the Play Store rules about permissions granted to the app.

From experience, companies that provide apps directly have some malware to hide.

Here is an example: GAN Cube is the world leader in Rubik's Cube. They provide an Android app by direct download [1].
Strangely this app has the permission to install other apps. That's obviously something not allowed to publish on the Play Store.

The question you should be asking is why have the prices outpaced the minimum wage. Protip: $30 trillion has been printed and spent in your name.
Does this also mean that the dev (or their payment provider) will be responsible for managing VAT?
I have no skin in the game but "in the public markets" is a very key part of this discussion. If he did purchase his stock allocations from founding PayPal (regardless of of if this was legal) this would have not been in the public market. This is an extremely high risk time and money investment that could have been worth $0 the next day. This is why a lot of people end up trying to start a startup. To get huge financial gains for themselves.
more investments over a greater pool of assets, chasing returns, also increase your surface area of error. Examples abound.

There's a reason its easy for funds to get big with a small LP commitment round, and there's also a reason most funds close after hitting certain numbers, increasing the AUM means increased complexity, and thus, potential implosion.

The real world bears many examples of growing AUM portfolio that blew up past a certain size.

There's no counterexample that I know of , of a fund with a consistent growth pattern that started small, hit size, and then increasing further their size with the same trajectory from having more investment dollars to use.
> Again - this isn't a tax dodge. This is someone who used the law exactly as intended without any illegal or shady dealings and happened to be incredibly fortunate.

To quote Daniel Ellsberg: the scandal isn't that they're breaking the law, the scandal is that what they're doing is legal.
Ok but for how long is this guaranteed?

This feels like a way to get a bunch of devs onto their new store and then a few years later they'll add a fee or charge for subscriptions or maybe they'll tack on a big SDK license fee -- at some point they're going to want to collect on your revenue.
Agree with user and customer data being handled with care, but I do not like seeing criminals using the law to further a criminal enterprise. That is problematic.
> A whistleblower (also written as whistle-blower or whistle blower)[1] is a person, usually an employee, who exposes information or activity within a private, public, or government organization that is deemed illegal, illicit, unsafe, or a waste, fraud, or abuse of taxpayer funds.

Morality ≠ lawfullness. Many things are perfectly legal but profoundly immoral or unethical. The public has a right to know that they're being cheated like this, that working class people have to pay their taxes but the very rich don't. It's very slimy that you try to equate this to curiosity about royalty.
> Not sure how easy it is under Linux.

Not sure how easy it is on other OSes. On Linux, it's easy.
I did this exact same thing at my last job, and I agree that it's remarkable how much it made both work and non work life better. Drawing hard lines can oftentimes make compliance much easier. Just the fact that I had decided to not have/do ANY personal stuff on my work computer made it very easy to focus and be extremely productive. I'm in the middle of my career, and it was by far my most productive time as a software engineer.

That being said, I didn't work myself to the bone. Instead of taking breaks with reddit, checking personal email, or spending time on social networks, I allowed myself long lunches, long walks, naps in the park or at the beach, and other forms of relaxation during the working day. This easy pace allowed me to perform some of the highest quality and most creative work of my career.
How, as a matter of policy, do you expect them to make that distinction?

The obvious way to do it is to ask the local government what is misinformation. Google isn't an expert on the truth of everything, for all that their search index being impressive.
> Of course this all assumes that Microsoft can get their app store off the ground this time.

I'm not sure what failed, the Microsoft Store or UWP? Because these two were, until recently, tied together.
It's easy to buy a bunch of hard drives and connect in a data center. Managing petabytes per user for thousands of users is the hard part, and it's a software problem.

BackBlaze is definitely a SaaS company... though the quality of their offering certainly lags behind Dropbox, both in terms of feature set and user experience. They're also in a very competitive industry. Storage/backup is basically a commodity nowadays.
Its bad, sure, but I’ve seen thousands worse; its a strong contender for the worst I’ll see today, sure.
>It's about recognizing how the entire system is stacked against working people and that these ultra-rich pay 0% in taxes, while I pay 30%.

Rather that have the rich also pay 30%, don't you think that it would be better if you too have to pay 0%?
No kidding! Win32 / WinForms were great.

For desktop / high performance apps I'm not sure XAML / WinUI3 (even though it is called the premiere native user interface (UI) framework) is really that much quicker.

Are there some examples of larger spreadsheets apps or other solutions for 10+M row files using XAML. Every time I've tried to play the Windows GUI game with their new and improved solutions the things fall over. But I've been out of touch with space forever now. UWP was the last big push I made to get on board with the "better" way of doing things - was surprised a trillion dollar company was making that sort of thing the premier platform for their busuiness.

Well the reality is also that if $24/hr was the minimum wage the price of items would be through the roof and that $24/hr would be worth less than what the $15/hr is worth now.

No such thing as a free lunch. You can't just inflate a persons worth without having to pay for it somehow.
The key is knowing exactly which startup to put your $2000 in.

My favorite part is when they needed the version of the software that was used for the moon landing but they only had the source code for a previous version (scanned from giant binder) and the hash value of the version of the landing. By a series of educated guesses, by reading memos and by analysis of the source code they modified the old code the exact way so it gave them the correct hash, confirming that they correctly and exactly recreated the original code.

It's being a while and I go from memory, I might have some details wrong. See this video for this story.

Start the install over from scratch. You can have wifi enabled when installing. Just don't plug in a network cable and don't connect to a wifi network when it prompts you to. Read carefully, you can avoid connecting and if you do you don't connect, you don't have to use a Microsoft account.
I have run my own DNS resolver since that time when VeriSign decided to hijack all unregistered .com and .net domains (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Site_Finder); by running your own recursive DNS resolver, it could detect the hijacked responses and turn them back into the correct NXDOMAIN response.
