Antisemitism is almost exclusively a feature of the right. That's because the left when it encounters it works to purge it from it's ranks.
That was in the time of Nazism. Now that the left is changing its cultural allegiance from Karl Marx to Muhammad ibn Wahhab, Rosa Luxemburg would no longer be welcome at her own barricades: http://www.newsweek.com/gay-pr...
Gold has at least been around for a long time, and has investment value because it is so easily recognizable and assayable, and has established value in every culture.
In Roman times, an ounce of gold traded for the best suit of clothes. After two thousand years of inflation, deflation and manipulation - it still does.
I'm sure California is a very pleasant place to live, but with housing costs 10 times as high as other parts of the country, if you could live in a small house in Cali, or a large house and have a lot more left over play money elsewhere and telecommute... lots of people would telecommute and those home values wouldn't be a "safe bet".
IOn my part of Arizona, where real estate is fairly pricey, we have a lot of Californians who sold their little LA or SF bungalows when they retired. When they arrive here they build a palace with the proceeds.
So apparently the General Populous has incorrectly made the Bitcoin = Ransomware = Illegal connection. *Facepalm*
I'm not flaming your precious Bitcoin here, but just pointing out that if the North Korean government - no private enterprise in that country, remember - is distributing and profiting from ransomware, the we have every right to glass it down to radioactive ash. This would still be the case if all their ransomware trade were being conducted with stacks of cash Benjamins.
Given the current bubblicious trading in BTC, one strategy for our intelligence agencies might be to assist in the pump-and-dump, leaving Weird Fat Kid as the last fool to be holding a hard drive full of devalued tulip bits.
What if they offered a 1Gbps symmetric fiber connection for $80/month to your house?
On my rural neighborhood I can always tell the AT & T cell customers because they're gathered in one particular corner of a strip mall parking with their phones held over their heads. That is the only place where AT & T's one local tower squeezes its signal between a mesa and a butte to bestow a second power bar upon the hapless customers.
That's a nice, far-away target date that lets people feel good about themselves without actually having to do anything.
That is what would happen if it were Europe or the US. But we're talking about a country whose government is as studded with engineers as ours is with lawyers.
So that's how they came up with the idea of the flat app interface! Take those rendered buttons that you could identify on a screen outdoors and replace them with mystery meat navigation that you can only see indoors. At first I thought the state's newly legalized pot was responsible, but now I know it's the acid.
You have identified a strength of Bitcoin, which is that the algorithm that limits its money supply also sets a maximum value at any given time, based on the cost of mining new coins. If there are a significant number of miners who can still profit at a market price of $4000, they will keep on mining. But at the same time, speculative trading in the outstanding supply of BTC can take place at any price level, and is not less frothy and speculative just because there can still be new mining.
All of the economy-wrecking speculative action in Enron shares happened at a time when no new shares were being created.
Yes, the best way you can help in an emergency is to apply your field of expertise if it is in any way relevant to the situation. This may mean operating a boat, or it may mean getting a balky Internet connection working.
You could also use an easily-remembered hash of the primary key, like your "record locator number" for an airline reservation. This combined with some other elementary personal data would be unique.
I'm not even denying climate change or anything like that. The WAPO article just points out that the incidence of hurricanes is really lumpy, and for reasons that we can't yet model.
Any hypothesis about hurricane frequency has to account for the last eleven years of very low activity. Now we have an active year, like 2005. What is different his time?
The judgement Equifax will have to pay for this breach is massive. Unfortunately, the probability of it staying solvent enough to pay anything is the reciprocal of this amount.
And the US falls further behind because of the red states...
Because in California and other blue states it's so easy to mine rare earth metals and build energy infrastructure without every single project being bullied to a halt by the People's Deep Earth Resistance?
I use it when content that I would like to rent is Not Available In My Area at any price. I also use it for getting TV streams of networks that are in my cable tier, but there is no logon for my cable service on the streaming site.

"the blockchain will show exactly who did that to you."
The same blockchain that makes it so easy to nail a ransomware developer?

I constantly get ads for the thing I've recently purchased.
Often I got entire pages with nothing but repetitions of ads for some recent thing I purchased.
When I visited Dallas a few years ago for a conference, three days went by before I encountered anyone speaking Texan.

it will flip for 3 times that amount within 3 months.
And I wouldn't doubt that the down payment was in Bitcoin.

If it can be proved that North Korea is using ransomware as a source of funds, that's an act of war. The line is crossed.

LSD can have long-lasting side-effects. .
This will bring us ever-more-entertaining data breaches in the future.

Price changes like this are not what you want in a medium of exchange, but they are exactly what you want in a pump-and-dump stock.

SSN can't be a primary key because not everybody has one.
Insults mean you lost.

The terms the WAPO used here, one year ago, were "hurricane drought" and "terrifying. "
