That would be 1 in 1,000 people. If a million people in the US have used bitcoin, then that would mean 1,000 of them are going to be audited. That's quite a lot of audits.

And sure, 1 in 1,000 is nice odds, but you're still breaking the law. And some people care about not breaking the law on principle.

Also, if you do something the government doesn't like, then they can retroactively investigate you and bring the full force of the law down on you for tax evasion, which carries harsh penalties.

Whoops. Thanks, fixing.
Poker lies are short lived. Once the hand is over, it is done. But in real life you have to remember and maintain your lies. It takes a toll.
Have you ever used a carousel on a site where you didn't use jQuery? Would you prefer the size of this library triples? Do you think any one man has the time to keep up with the kind of event normalization and browser shimming that jQuery provides?
It keeps phishing attacks from being able to cross services (since if you get a citibank email to your coinbase email that would be a big flag) and it reduces the attack surface on other sites.

I use email.site@domain.com for this purpose and it makes it handy to see who has somehow lost/disclosed my email to third parties and not informed me (FreshDirect for example)
But you could reduce the JavaScript style guide entries to just "Use JSLint and do what it says".

Perhaps the others are more helpful or perhaps (more likely) other languages do not have Lint.

I am sure there is more to it but does not require lengthier posts - perhaps essays?
Ditto. Except our HR people don't have their own offices. We don't have lawyers in-house. If i draw a line from the window through my desk to the far wall, it passes through a developer on another team, me, the product guy for another team, the CTO, a co-founder/head of sales, and two salespeople.

I routinely gain great value from speaking to the developer and product guy on either side of me, both of whom are immensely expert. The salespeople are fortunately far enough away and quiet enough that they're not a distraction.
Fully agree with jerf on that, adults not only have the mental barrier, but also their mental adaptivity ratio is lower than that of kids. I am not sure, if it's just the neural plasticity that's reason for this or the amount of neural circuitry's rewiring that is necessary at a higher age, due to more synaptic connections.

I mean chinese parents who teach their kids to learn many languages, maths etc. at age 1 and up may be cruel, but if they actually don't force the kids, but let them have fun and let them do those tasks voluntarily, then I fully support the early education method.
Your network sounds odd: If you get 12 Mbps when blasting UDP but you experience packet loss high enough to bog down TCP, it actually sounds like your network is congested and TCP is working as designed.

Your copper last mile modem (eg. ADSL2 or DOCSIS) has error correction DSP magic going on that is designed to adjust to the signal quality observed and trains the link paramters so that packet loss doesn't happen, at the expense of bandwidth. And you get a 12 MBps link speed, which sounds like your modem hasn't had to slow it down to a crawl to prevent packet loss. So congestion or other fault/misconfiguration in your ISP's access network?

Custom protocols on top of UDP are also supposed to respond to congestion by slowing down.

The aim of the exercise is to demonstrate familiarity with Javascript, so a very basic UI is all that is needed.
I may be wrong but my understanding of this is that you will probably need at least a tiny server if you plan to securely create tokens for clients to communicate with AWS and other services without revealing your main set of credentials.
Well, it scares me....
I actually tried it when first writing it, and that kind of sucked. If you nipped it, it would go super slow, and if you swiped fast, it basically blinked into place. I might revisit this at some point where I round off the translated values a little bit.
I have no bitcoin, but I've been audited. Unless your intent is to avoid taxation and you don't mind the risk, you should definitely pay tax on any bitcoins you've mined.
Ah, okay! Thanks.

Ah, interesting. Coverage (as well as the text of the message) made it appear that it was a full block. I'd edit my original post to reflect this, but am unable to. Thanks for the information!

it appears he has gained knowledge of a range of memory addresses that he shouldn't know since they are supposed to be randomly allocated? that's a deep as i "understand" it. hopefully someone else here can go into more detail of how each line is important and what can be done with the information afterwards.
I'm being audited right now (over a $2,500 student loan interest deduction, of all things) and it's totally automated. It seems like they have an internal process that goes "Taxpayer claimed deduction, IRS doesn't have paperwork matching payment activity, ergo send letter asking taxpayer to pony up".

If Coinbase is going to report earnings to the IRS, it's a good idea to match what they report or you might trigger the algorithm.

If all this interests you, Kindling is the place to be.

Some tools and processes that we use and you should be excited about:

* Crafting great software with the user’s experience in mind.

* Object-oriented PHP and the Zend Framework.

* Test-driven development, PHPunit, and automated testing.

* MySQL.

* Developing and working with RESTful APIs.

* Patterns and best practices.

* AWS, with an emphasis on scalability and reliability.

* Communication, documentation, and collaboration.

* Modern client-side web application libraries and practices.

Removing that little "user-scalable=0" should fix it, as being able to zoom in on a page is a nice feature, and shouldn't be disabled unless there is a really good reason.

Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook’s number two executive, has shed more than half her stake in the social networking company since its initial public offering less than two years ago, according to an analysis of recent regulatory filings.

The series of disposals, some of which were made to satisfy tax bills, are likely to add to persistent questions about whether Ms Sandberg is eyeing an eventual departure from the company for a future in government or as head of another large company.

However, her name has yet to be closely linked to any senior corporate positions and she has denied any plans to compete for political office – most recently in January, when she said that politics was “not for me”.

Also, even after the disposals, Ms Sandberg’s stake worth about $1bn still makes her one of the largest individual investors in Facebook with a 0.5 per cent stake.

As chief operating officer, the former Google executive was brought in at a critical time in Facebook’s development, when the company was first looking to ramp up its revenues and a young Mark Zuckerberg was still trying to find his feet.

The Facebook chief executive has since developed a greater management self-assurance and taken on many of the company’s key decisions, for instance in his personal handling of deals such as the acquisitions of WhatsApp and Instagram.

Ms Sandberg has frequently been talked of as a candidate for high office in Washington. A former chief of staff to Lawrence Summers at the time he was treasury secretary under Bill Clinton, she was said to have been considered for that position during the first Obama administration.

Ms Sandberg has sold about 10m shares worth some $400m since Facebook made its stock market debut in May 2012, according to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The sales were made under the “blind” trading plans that corporate executives use to spread their disposals out over a period of time, reducing the risk of being accused of trading on privileged information.

She also sold nearly 16m shares in late 2012 to settle a tax bill that fell due when restricted stock she had in the company vested to become ordinary shares. Mr Zuckerberg likewise sold $2.3bn worth of shares at the time to settle his tax bill.

Ms Sandberg’s overall stake in Facebook is now down to 17.2m shares, restricted stock units and options. At the time of the IPO, she held about 41m shares, most of them in the form of restricted stock units.
> I don't want people to be able to see me all the time. It's extremely nerve-[w]racking and I feel like an animal in a zoo.

I don't feel like this at all. In fact, that seems like an unhealthy reaction to me (so apologies for being judgmental). May i ask if you feel like this in other environments where there are other people around? Like, in a restaurant, or on public transport?
