Are actual traditional currency holdings still taxed in the US on unrealized gains and losses each year? The rules in question would seem to clarify that crytos are not mere currencies.
Why would you refuse to comply with that? If you're difficult at work you're going to have a bad time, maybe more people should be told this.
I guess most reasonable answer is that you should include anything that would transfer a significant amount of money to the IRS. Starbucks points and FFXIV gold may be theoretically included, but the liquidity for those is so small that the IRS just doesn't care and would never enforce it. They don't want that $100. What they're trying to do here is get a cut of the billions of dollars that come from crypto.

I know that's probably obvious to you, but I don't think there's much more to it. It's just another way to make money.
Why is ChatGPT not open source?
People talk about fiat as currency as if it is ludicrous but the crypto market has verifiably been a series pump and dump schemes.
This is why the American economy needs lots of poor people and no safety net, so that the business models work.
If it means pissing off my boss if I don't, even if it is stupid, I'd probably move the pencil to not cause trouble over nothing. I'm not a child.
Loyalty is complicated. GK Chesterton (who was not left leaning) said "my country right or wrong is like my mother drunk or sober"

It would be hard to espouse loyalty to America as a Japanese origin US citizen locked up in ww2 because of assumptions about loyalty. Somehow they did. Admirable.

The modern day pledge of allegiance was confected to reassert religions role in the state (against the express wishes of the constitution drafters) as if loyalty could be measured by willingness to recite a pledge under threats implicit or explicit.

The entire existence of the modern US polity is founded on a rejection of one kind of loyalty and replacement with another. Loyal british retreated to Halifax. They continued to trade with their southern neighbours.

What loyalty the black panthers owed was unclear.

Leo Amery M.P. (and a privy counsellor, thats loyalty) disowned his son who joined the nazi forces. He was executed at wars end 7 months after the victory in Europe.
Zuckerberg said in his presentation there would be a crypto/NFT element to his metaverse.
why "anarcho-" though, if the currency's based on total ordering of all conducted transactions? It's orderly-capitalist.
There's so little legitimate business happening in the crypto world. All these crypto whales are just other exchanges. Or criminals. And braindead VCs.
Maybe not household, in America but I grew up listening to him and I'm American and I was born in the 70s.
Im genuinely surprised they didn't lean harder into the hobby shop/coffeeshop/beer-wine angle every indepdent bookstore didnt lean into as community space. The B&N stores typically have so much space they could stock some model kits, some DND manuals and a more robust coffee shop and knock out the average understaffed and under equipped hoppy shop or independent wine bar that has books for sale.
Interestingly enough, V-Bucks were _specifically_ included in the original wording you quoted [1]. The IRS said it was in error, but a spokesman was fairly evasive [2]:

> Desmond demurred when asked to confirm that gamers wouldn’t need to mark
> ‘yes’ to the new 1040 question, but said addressing gaming currencies in
> the virtual currency context isn’t a major focus for the agency right now.
>
> “I am not even looking into that. So I’m not saying one way or another.
> I think I’d be getting ahead of myself if I said anything,” Desmond said.
> “Read the website. We posted a correction yesterday and I kind of leave it
> at that.”

The likely reason that they don't care is that these are mostly a scam that consumers aren't making money off of, but capital gains on property are taxable no matter the underlying asset, so if game currencies became a major source of tax evasion it wouldn't take long for the IRS to pay attention.

A non-exhaustive list can exclude things (the list from the IRS excludes fiat currency) and so obviously can narrow a definition.
Why not use a different apple account/id?
> I've always thoughts "points" from credit cards, gift cards in shops, or virtual currencies in a game world that you can exchange directly for fiat/crypto, represent value. It's just that value is now no longer liquid and locked into some services ecosystem to make it psychologically easier for people to spend money.

AFAIK redeemed V-Bucks cannot be transferred, and thus cannot be exchanged for real money.

A V-Bucks gift card has financial value, and (if the account is allowed to be transferred) you could say the account then has financial value. IANAA, but I would expect gains from sale of either to be taxable.
I might be super naive here but can someone explain how this type of thing works? Behind the scene, is the bot hitting the OpenAI APIs?
I don't know why you think that. The Fed's term for commercial balances is "Commercial Bank Money," and it is absolutely issued by the central bank. The fact that it's tracked on digital ledgers rather than paper ledgers and cotton bills does not change that.
Is there any open source geodata about traffic accident frequency?
Yes, the article does not give a clear answer. However, simply looking at the text of the CFAA leaves little doubt that you'd be in violation if Netflix clearly communicates that you aren't allowed to log in with someone else's account.

It's hard to imagine how an account holder could authorise you to access Netflix in a situation where Netflix explicitly communicates to you that such account sharing is forbidden.
The issue is maintenance and capital expense due to complexity.

Gas furnaces are dead simple, and still break and require maintenance. Heat pumps, more so. Generators? By far the most.

Combining the three sounds like a huge headache for marginal efficiency gains.

> Only "REAL" age related reason is (and I have to admit that I myself didnt hire someone because of that) if the person wants to retire in the near future and you think you want to invest your time in someone who will, hopefully, stay longer.

If you're in the US, you might want to ask your HR about whether that can be a factor in hiring criteria.

If HR says "Don't do that", then they might prefer not to hear that it was already done (so maybe don't volunteer the info, unless they ask), in which case it's a for-future-reference.
MMOs have to go to extensive lengths to prevent and punish trading in game currency in the real world because it would burden them with a long list of regulations. Your WoW gold or whatever it is is not money because it only works in game and despite black markets for it, it is not allowed to be used in free exchange with other currencies.

Honestly everybody actually knows the difference, if you don’t hire a lawyer and go to court and add to caselaw to be sure.

V-Bucks are not a "representation of value", and if you don't understand that there's an FAQ that goes into even more painful detail: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/freq...

> Virtual currency is a digital representation of value, other than a representation of the U.S. dollar or a foreign currency (“real currency”), that functions as a unit of account, a store of value, and a medium of exchange. Some virtual currencies are convertible, which means that they have an equivalent value in real currency or act as a substitute for real currency. The IRS uses the term “virtual currency” in these FAQs to describe the various types of convertible virtual currency that are used as a medium of exchange, such as digital currency and cryptocurrency.

Video game currencies are (generally, if your game lets you convert the in-game currency to USD you might actually want to report it) NOT:

1. A store/representation of value

2. Convertible to a real currency

3. A medium of exchange
I'm not sure if this was OPs intent but this reminded me of a little Christmas themed language task fun I started at one job.

Write up on the whiteboard in various languages to echo "Ho Ho Ho", preferably in shorthand, one-liner if possible.

He's being downvoted because "inflammation" is caused by an enormous amount of things. It's not "linked to endotoxins". I tore my MCL and I had inflammation quite shortly afterwards, which likely protected my knee from further injury. Endotoxins had nothing to do with the inflammation I experienced.
This is a wonderful idea. A college friend of mine died in a single car accident. They interviewed a DOT officer who said something to effect of "Yeah, people drive way too fast on that street, no one anticipates the sharp corner, I guess nothing can be done." The first step to fixing any problem is acknowledging the problem exists.
I don't think the full text is at all unclear. It effects cryptocurrencies. Pretty simple. Loot boxes won't apply. Why? They are not based on technology derived from Bitcoin.

No one is saying that loot boxes and what-have-you aren't problematic. But it is only mildly relevant.
Something that is only redeemable in one place probably isn't a medium of exchange.

That can be pretty shakey though.
it's important to consider the potential drawbacks of this approach as well. By muting everyone, you may miss out on valuable information and perspectives that you might not have considered otherwise.
I agree, this is what I do too.
There most likely isn't anyone to tell researchers what to publish in order to steer the "desired trend". Suggesting otherwise is frankly ridiculous.
Seems like a similar story to the Best Buy turnaround. Although I've increased my purchases from Best Buy...everytime I want a book it's not near by, there's no free shipping and it's more expensive. Whenever I want a book I always check Barnes and Noble first to keep competition alive...I guess i must not be the target audience.
Not “liquid” just, free to exchange for money. If you made a bunch of money buying and selling NFTs but the ones you have left nobody wants to buy, you still have to pay your taxes.
How is this news? The last air-air heat pump I looked at was guaranteed working down to -35°C/-31°F.(Mitsubishi Electric UWANO 8700)

Is this just the US being far behind when it comes to heat pumps or something?
Personally, having lived in places with ductless heat pumps they suck.

Lots more maintenance (they need regular cleaning or they build up mold), they don’t circulate air through the house so rooms get their own weird microclimates and get stuffier, and it’s a constant hassle tracking down remotes.

Central is way more comfortable and lower maintenance, IMO.
Can somebody please jailbreak this.
If you check out models/openai_model.py, you'll see it's using text-curie-001, among others, which is an OpenAI dataset. This model is imported in main.py under the name 'Model', which makes me believes the openAI API is serving as the main model used for inference
To be fair to the Solana team, their production chain is called Mainnet Beta.

Going forward their outages should occur less frequently since they've finally introduced a fee market akin to Ethereum's dynamic gas prices. With a dynamic fee market it will be more financially prohibitive to DDOS the chain.
Flexible stainless tubing is more expensive than copper flexible tubing.

That's only true in good economic times and non-war periods and places. What you're saying is true in America right now, but not in many other countries [0], and it's also not true across time. Even in America, eventually a time will come where you can't get your money out of a bank account exactly because it's just an entry in a centralized database and because it will be in the best interest of people in power to prevent you from doing so. This, and similar restrictions, have happened several times throughout history.

The point I'm trying to make is that it's not fundamentally as different from an in-game currency as you think it is. The cycles just happen much less frequently over longer periods of time (companies go bankrupt and change faster than wars happens) so you may never see it in your lifetime if you're lucky.

LSP took off because it was designed and heavily promoted by one of the most powerful technology corporations on the planet, who already had the ears of tens of millions of developers.

The number of proposed "standards" for solving similar problems over the years that have failed or even been completely ignored is legion. LSP is one of only a handful of software integration standards that have ever found widespread adoption. Meanwhile, there are hundreds if not thousands of integration problems where no standard is in sight.

This universal vision where micro-programs process and pass around standardized data is never going to happen, except on platforms that are completely controlled by a single vendor (see Apple).
Game terms of service will explicitly ban selling in game items specifically to avoid appearing to be trading in things which act like money.
It does not make any sound on my M1 iPad.
My experience with Waze is that it is more likely to cause crashes, at least where I drive. It constantly recommended side street shortcuts with little to no time benefit.

These are streets where there is usually not room for two cars to pass in opposite directions and pedestrians, dogs and bikes are frequently going to be hazards.
I left my PHD ABD, and also I'm actually fine with my feet on the ground, but doing infosec or programming for the systems related to launch would be cool and fun if it was something long term and stable.

digital assets are not taxed on unrealized gains and losses, unless by realize you wish that meant “to dollars in my bank account”, asset to asset trades are taxed on their notional dollar amounts

and nobody is conflating the currency aspect of crypto, that misnomer is so last decade. if someone starts a conversation with that word, I’m not going to correct them until a reply like yours tries to read too deep into it
> I don't think there are many communist experiments that worked.

I regularly ask for any examples of working communism. To date, none have been offered. To be fair, sometimes someone will post one. But investigating it shows that it didn't actually work. For example, one long-running commune appeared to be successful, but what it was successful at was recruiting a constant stream of enthusiasts to join up, but who inevitably left after 2 years.

It's almost as if communism and human nature are just incompatible. For some reason or other, humans are not bees and living in beehives doesn't work for humans.

ITT: Blatant tax evasion!
Have you seen what a Bitcoin ASIC miner costs?
I think it's quite likely that the government will come after the ability to defer capital gains. Avoiding taxable events is a heavily exploited 'loophole' by the very rich. In an effort to harmonize capital gains and income there will be some sort of mark-to-market wealth tax / property tax. So you may end up having to pay property tax on your NFT if you want to keep it. At least if it's valuable you can sell it to cover the tax incurred. The government doesn't have to value the property at sale price (see Chicago housing) so you could, however unlikely, end up owing more on taxes than you could sell it for - if this were to happen the government considers that more your problem than their problem.
It'd be nice if you could make it so everyone unmutes for 30 minutes each day, then gets muted again, and that 30 minute window can't be extended.
Democracy is not the unique product of the Western civilization. The unique product is a trifecta of ideas:

- Human self-determination: humans (after all sexual, racial. xenophobic, etc biases) have the right to determine their own fate. Ideas of personal freedom, equality, and democracy follow from it, among other things, like free enterprise and markets.

- Science, in a broad sense: the desire to study how the word works, for fun and profit, through the reality itself, thus doubting any preconceptions, traditions, etc. This of course had and still has many culture-induced limitations, but generally it's considered a worthy thing to do and to share.

- Universalism: all humans are worthy enough (again, after all sexual, racial. xenophobic, etc biases), so the two ideas above are not limited to one blessed tribe that should not care about anyone else; the ideas should be spread.

Any two without a third don't seem to be enough to put a civilization onto an upwards spiral of accumulation and spreading of knowledge and material wealth. (The scary thought of many a sci-fi writer is that the first idea is not actually required, or can be extinguished later.)

Other civilizations, which did not concentrate on accumulating of material wealth or written knowledge as much as the West, achieved serious heights in other areas, often quite higher than what the West was able to achieve by that time. But they could not withstand the clash, and were often destroyed, or, in a slightly more fortunate turn of events, assimilated.

Yes, and as mentioned the IRS decided including V-Bucks/Robux as an example was wrong and posted a correction.

The M1 MacBook Pros are commonly on sale these days. I got a 16" recently for $2099 ($400 off) at Best Buy
What I got wrong is not knowing management’s priorities and accounting rules about where the cost shows up on a balance sheet. This had much more weight in decision making simply because something works better for taxes (services purchased) vs large up front costs with maintenance (buying software) vs building it (labor costs plus a lot more time).

When management already says buy instead of build, the actual technology being bought is much farther down the priority list than engineers want to admit.
Libraries are one of the last bastions of being able to be somewhere legally without spending money. With the homeless crisis we shouldn't be surprised that these places are used in this way - it's 100% an expected outcome.

It's a logistics and resources problem - libraries are: shelter, safety, heating/cooling, running water, restrooms, a place to sit... Truth is we don't afford that to everyone here and a lot of people ignore the cruelty/suffering. Hell - some even justify and celebrate it.
I keep seeing people say it was in the edge of bankruptcy. If that's true why did Musk pay 44 billion dollars for it?
> Honestly pretty shocked that something at their scale could be depending on Fastly for core assets.

Why would that be surprising? Fastly has many customers of similar scale. Amazon.com has fastly as one of the options to serve as their CDN (as was publicized when a fastly outage took down amazon briefly last year).

Suicides are closer to 60%. No one ever states out loud that law abiding firearms owners are not the problem. Concealed Carry License holders are more law abiding than police. Pushing firearms ownership outside of this group is not only unconstitutional but dangerous to the security of a free state.
When I was in high school (06-10) you wouldn't believe how many kids could hang out at B&N for hours and hours and just drink some coffees and look at weird books or hang out with friends. I had several friends who would go for the annual Crterion Collection 50% Sale.
Seeing as how natural gas is a required input for making synthetic fertilizer, without which billions would starve, it's hard to think of a product with more positive externalities than natural gas. Every time you go to the supermarket, you should be thankful that natural gas allows synthetic fertilizers to feed the world.

It's easy to think of negative externalities and ignore positive externalities (or vice versa), but accurately summing these up is very difficult.
> Picture trying to fit an orange into a cup that's too small — there will be space between the orange and the cup, which could make it seem like the cup is too big.

I'm not saying this is a good idea, but it seems like that space between the orange and the too-small cup depends on the orange being rigid, and the analogy runs into trouble there.
Apple Reportedly 'Seriously' Concerned About iPhone 14 Plus Sales
If you watch the video you linked, he admits he's not taking manual control because it's unsafe--it's because he's embarrassed. It's hard to tell from the video, but it seems like the choices he makes out of embarrassment are actually more risky than what the Tesla was going to do.

It makes sense. My own experience driving a non-Tesla car the speed limit nearly always, is that other drivers will try to pressure you to do dangerous stuff so they can get where they're going a few seconds faster. I sometimes give into that pressure, but the AI doesn't feel that pressure at all. So if you're paying attention and see the AI not giving into that pressure, the tendency is to take manual control so you can. But that's not safer--quite the opposite. That's an example of the AI driving better than the human.

On the opposite end of the social anxiety spectrum, there's a genre of pornography where people are having sex in the driver's seats of Teslas while the AI is driving. They certainly aren't intervening 3 times in 20 minutes, and so far I don't know of any of these people getting in car accidents.
They most likely get funding (in the form of steep discounts or free equipment) from the equipment manufacturers to do those installs. They’re called demo homes in the trades.

I feel the same. Nearly every shard we found had painting on it. These people were decorating their daily lives and tools, celebrating them with art.
