The first point has nothing to do with bitcoin. Any internet entrepreneur has to consider that question at some point and the answer is mostly: no, I do not need to learn all the laws of all the countries before starting a business online.

I sell a service online. I know that I do not need to transfer VAT to the US government when selling to American citizens. I know I need to transfer VAT to my EU government for any sale to a citizen of an EU country. So far so good. Do you honestly think I know what to do when a Kenyan or Vietnamese citizen makes a purchase? Do you think most small US-based companies transfer VAT to the EU? Do you think anyone bars citizens from countries they don't want to deal with from purchasing their services?

The internet is still the wild west for many things, because governments of the world still haven't caught up with internet commerce. Nobody, except for the larges companies, can reasonably be expected to be able to deal with the laws of a few hundred countries.
SEEKING WORK - Remote (based in Baltimore, MD)

I'm a technical marketer, and I help companies do the following:

- Get traction faster (for early-stage startups).

- Turn more visitors into users, leads, or customers (aka, conversion optimization).

I do this with any or all of the following, depending on your unique case: Funnel analysis, conversion optimization, A/B testing, SEO, email campaigns and automated emails, content planning, and usability studies.

What makes me different from most marketing consultants:

- I can roll up my sleeves and write code when needed. This saves you design and development time on small optimization improvements. (HTML/CSS, basic JS and jQuuery, Github).

- I'm certified in Optimizely, the A/B testing tool.

- I come from an engineering background (naval engineering), so I love solving real problems (by "real" I mean things that directly impact your revenue).

I put city and state. For local jobs, it's important to say you're local (for whatever definition of local is). For remote jobs, it's important so people know what time zone you're in.

I think a full home address sends one of two signals. One, the person hasn't really thought about it, and just includes it because the first resume they copied their format from included it, which suggests a lack of attention to detail. Or two, they have thought about it, and their address is important, such as when they aren't interested in a long commute.

I can't think of a reason it would be useful to divulge your home address when applying for remote work (obviously, if you got the job, you'd do additional paperwork that provides it).
Wow, now that is what I call Super-powered observation!
What if upvoting your comments was also made illegal in your country? Should we somehow guess that and stop?

Widespread use of the Argentine peso isn't critical for its success (a strong economy and good monetary policy is). Widespread use is, however, critical for Bitcoin's success, since it relies on a network effect of merchants and consumers.

Things to Consider While Keeping a Level Head About AngularJS 2.0
Senior Python Data Scientist and Python Engineer - Recursion Pharmaceuticals

Question for you: What's the most challenging, most impactful set of data problems you could be working on?

We’re a small and fast-growing biotech startup with an amazing set of advisors including the Broad’s Anne Carpenter, and we're using high throughput genetic perturbation experiments in human cells, automated image segmentation and quantitation of hundreds of features for every cell, and machine learning and statistics to find new treatments for rare genetic diseases faster than anyone has previously thought possible. There are more than 5,000 rare genetic diseases, in total affecting millions of Americans, and only a handful are treatable. We aim to find treatments for 100 of them in the next 10 years.

We’re looking for exceptional computational scientists to help lead our analysis efforts, with the following criteria:

- Several years of experience in statistics, machine learning, and software development solving problems using lots of data, preferably using python’s scientific stack; seeing the world through the lens of statistics and modeling; thorough understanding of fundamentals of machine learning such as cross-validation and learning curves, plus an ability to explore new types of data independently and get an effective guess as to what sorts of models and assumptions make sense as a starting point.

- A track record of outstanding projects, publications, or presentations that demonstrate successful application of the above talents.

- Motivation to tackle some of the most challenging data problems around, to work with other sharp and highly-motivated individuals with diverse backgrounds, and to make lots of patients’ lives dramatically better.

- Some biology background is helpful; intellectual curiosity and motivation to learn is critical.

- Key tools and skills (not all required): python, machine learning, sklearn, ipython, data science, pandas, interactive analysis, linux fluency, bioinformatics (definitely not required)

> In the US, if a payment is "available" to you, it must be reported as income at the time it becomes available. Failure to cash a paycheck doesn't mean you don't owe tax on it.

I don't believe that's correct. A check which is never cashed is not income, as the funds are never transferred there is no income, there is no income tax. The point of the IRS regulation is that tax period in which the check is received is the applicable one, rather than the tax period when it is cashed.

Maybe licenses could be modified to cover the case of using the name? No idea what the legalities of this situation are, but if this problem is rampant, it seems at least plausible that the right legalese could help stem the tide.
> For pure languages, you may be able to implement generational garbage collectors slightly more efficiently, as no object of an older generation will have references to objects in a young generation. This is a very fragile property though - even laziness breaks it - and I'm not sure anyone has tried to use it in practice.

That's how it works in Haskell, despite the laziness: https://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/GHC/Memory_Management
No one can download Hadoop right now because all mirrors aren't hosting it
I can't really think of any other driving offense that would result in arrest rather than a ticket unless it's even more serious (manslaughter) or unrelated (drugs, guns), all of which seem much less likely than DUI.
But my point is that doing that analysis is pointless, because the dollar amount is so low. The difference in price will never be more than a rounding error in a company's expenses, so it's not worth worrying about.

If someone at the company wants it, price point shouldn't be what's keeping the company from using it.

Hell yeah.

One Codex (YC S14) – Genomic search and data platform. San Francisco, CA (https://www.onecodex.com).

==============

==== About Us ====

==============

We’re a software and biology start-up building a global data backbone and search platform for genomics – an essential piece of infrastructure for a world in which we increasingly understand health, disease, and our environment by transforming biology into data. Our first application area is pathogen detection – working with doctors, epidemiologists, and public health officials to identify and characterize the bacteria and viruses that threaten our health. And already, we’ve attracted users at many of the top public health and research organizations across the globe.

===============

==== About You ====

===============

We’re looking for talented software engineers to help us build towards our vision for a global genomics data network and enable widespread in silico diagnostics. Specifically, we’re interested in folks with a passion for and depth of experience in one or more of the following areas:

1) Full Stack Engineering: We will be building everything from developer-facing APIs to easy-to-use end applications for doctors and public health officials. You care about everything from elegant APIs to compelling data visualizations. Python experience preferred (we currently use Flask for our web backend).

2) Distributed Systems: We’re building systems for organizing and indexing billions to trillions of genomic fingerprints across the entire tree of life. You’re passionate about data structures, efficient computational solutions, and distributed systems (and don’t mind the occasional bit twiddling). We’ve built some cool initial tech in C, Nimrod, and Python (probabilistic data structures, Docker pipelines for reliably running bioinformatics workflows, etc.), and are excited about the extensive greenfield opportunities here.

3) Genomics / Computational Biology: We are tackling hard problems at the intersection of microbiology, genomics, statistics, and computer science. You have research experience or another strong connection to these fields, understand current bioinformatics tools and approaches (and their limits), and have worked extensively with next-generation sequencing data. Ideally, you also have some intuitions and strong hypotheses about how bioinformatics tools can scale for petabyte-sized reference sets.

===

You’ll be one of our earliest hires and directly shape our technology choices, product, and business. If you’re interesting in working on large-scale data challenges of both scientific and societal importance, please send us a note at careers@onecodex.com or reach out to me directly at nick@onecodex.com.

Thank you for putting that in context. "No big deal" was my first thought too, but that's only because of the context in which I live. In his context it still is a big deal.
That's not how Yelp works. Yelp is information + feedback.
Gates has been open about it having been an arrest for speeding, specifically driving far above the speed limit. He apparently went so far as to buy a slower diesel Mercedes to drive in order to reduce his tendency to speed with sports cars (per an interview).
The tip4commit payment is a tip paid because of work you did; elsewhere in IRS pub 525 and pub 531 it's clear (well, as clear as any IRS document ever is) that tips count as income.

the checking account offer isn't compensation for something you've already done. I think that makes it clearly distinguishable. But I'm not a lawyer; get competent legal advice before deciding you can pretend a tip-for-commit payment didn't happen.
I'm really, really surprised and confused by what seems to be the overall sentiment here.

This tipping project was born of a hackathon combining cryptocurrency (cool) and supporting open source projects. Awesome!

Then when people started getting tipped tiny amounts it generated spam... annoying, but it was fixed.

It's a bit outrageous to claim that emailing someone after they have received free money (over some threshold) to invite them to accept it is going over the line.

Claims about taxes, etc.. are laughable. HOW DARE YOU GIVE ME FREE MONEY AND ALLOW ME TO DECLINE IT. Give me a break.

Overall the tone of alexanderz is extremely reasonable. It is not clear to me why the equivalent of a social-site invite being emailed on behalf of some user is suddenly worth getting angry and talking about international spam law. Especially when the exact same opt-out functionality exists. Click one button and never seen another email.. what's the deal here.

Could you explain what you think is flawed about the implementation?

From a technological standpoint the incentives of mining and maintaining full network nodes have led to the first implementation of a public shared data store. Neither Bittorrent, Freenet, nor DHTs of any sort satisfy the conditions of being public, having equal access read and write privileges and data that is always available.

You can't have the benefits of the blockchain without the incentives that the units can operate as a currency and be traded for other things of value. That's what keeps everyone validating and making the data publicly available.

The politics are a completely different beast. The anarcho-capitalists and other anti-government proponents who have claimed Bitcoin as their own are living out a fantasy.

I don't think that Bitcoin is going to be the downfall of the nation-state. I think it's going to allow for some very interesting types of software to be made.

Please don't conflate Bitcoin as a technology with the mad ramblings of a bunch of basement dwellers.
This isn't quite HN material but I'll comment anyway.

With a fractionally small amount of effort, this could have been written for both genders.

Nice points though. As a guy I do #3 a bit too much.
I really doubt the editor 'just noticed this.' He must have been tipped off.
His recovery email address attached to the account must've also been hacked if he had two-factor on, as google always starts the recovery process from that email.
