Except I don't think she is coming for 2 reasons. First, there is no way that woman still sleeps with that fat orange pig. Second, it is a step down from the gold leaf walled castle she sleeps in now.
I think it could be argued that a bitcoin is more like a stock share than a maple leaf. The bitcoin has no physical embodiment, which is more like shares of a company, whereas the maple leaf is a real physical object. I expect the IRS will move it that direction and make bitcoin reporting like brokerage reporting.
Not true anymore, brokers now share basis on most transactions, granted the sharing is done at sale. Previously the IRS "trusted" you to report an accurate basis.
I'm not sure I agree with the fishing part. My brokerage reports all sales to the IRS every year without even a polite request. As you say, it is an asset, so just like my stock trades are reported, wouldn't bitcoin transaction be subject to the same requirements?
You keep hearing how RICH people come to america to have treatments. Meanwhile the middle class in america are going to mex to get treated because the operation in mex is cheaper than the deductible if done in the US. I hear India is starting to do this as well, and they wrap in a mini vacation with the surgery, all for much less than getting it done in the US. I think the US is now at 12% of GDP for health. That is just crazy. Personalized medicine I could see push it to 20+. It is not sustainable.
Maybe, depends on location. Consider if San Onefore would have gone tits up when it was running. How much would it cost to buy out all those people in San Clemente? SoCal beach front property is not cheap. Good land in Japan is expensive because it is such a scarce resource.
Except trump could give a crap about those people now. They served their purpose. In his world it is definitely what are you going to do for me tomorrow.
Serious question, has anyone tried putting freezes on their credit? I think its like 10 bucks(each bureau) and then you have to do a thaw/freeze everytime you want to actually do credit. Is the freeze/thaw a huge hassle? I've done temp freezes when I was in one of those giant hacks, but those only last 6 months and are free.
Dunno about that, the small fry is likely to find even a 500 dollar fine a reason to double check facts. I know I would be. Broke was hyperbole. The big guys will find the cutoff higher, 500 to breitbart is pocket change. By their 20th fib, they get knackered for 1/2 mil. Still they could eat that. But it just keeps goin up from there. No one thinks this stuff is as consequential as is my heart surgeon qualified. Over 3K soldiers died because GW decided to invade Iraq on bad info. Tens of thousands are maimed for life. Obamacare has changed the health care calculus. Ironically, the poor are now better covered than the middle class as the middle does not get subsidies. So now, some poor will live because they get needed treatment while some middle class will die because they will not since it will not be covered, since the deductible is 6 grand. Accurate news matters.
No I don't want to censor "news". But just like I don't want to have a unlicensed quack give me a quadruple bypass, I don't think you should be allowed to call it "news" when it is fiction. I can see two solutions. One make it like broadcast TV, where an FCC controls how you behave since the tv airwaves are public. Alternatively, if you want to call yourself news, and you report falsehoods, there is a fine, which is progressive. Every time you "broadcast" a falsehood, fine doubles. Fine starts at 1 dollar. Lie all you want, but after about 10 times, you'll be broke.
Sorry there is no way you can model who will be born and to what effect. And natural events like that rock that hit Russia to everyone's surprise. Again no model can predict. In this Hawkings is no better than a religious zealot and he should know better.
but now he is just a whacko predicting the end of the world like all those religious nut jobs. No one has a crystal ball. An asteroid could hit tomorrow and wipe us out. Or it could be a million years before we are ended. Either way, I'm not losing sleep over it.
I was at a clients a couple of years ago and they had an espresso machine. I was so impressed with the ease of use/quality I ordered one. I threw out my drip machine a week or so later as I could not go back. The prices on the machines have come down so while I still view it as a luxury, its not that much of a luxury. I think 500 buys the non-fancy version of the one I got. There are a plethora of models.
So your take on your own quote, "but it was known to a wide circle who felt it was not fit for discussion beyond that circle" is that he was out? So was Rock Hudson I guess back in the day. What part of "not fit for discussion..." is out? What is your definition of out exactly? Your lover knows? I've known people who are out. They don't care who knows.
I think you are being somewhat optimistic that electronics prices would only double or triple. My money is on 10X. And if things get crazy and china takes over taiwan (you know TSMC) figure 100X or worse while we try to build a fab to replace it. Good times for Intel and Sammy though.
You know with the internet you can do a quick search and discover all sorts of things. For example, Hilary founded an advocacy group in Arkansas in 1977 for families and children. While 1st lady of arkansas she worked to expand health care for the poor, & worked for public education reforms. While at Yale she took on child abuse cases. All this and more is generally available. Now remind me again of the any charity work trump has ever done. Try googling "Trump charity work". Mainly the hits are about how little he has done relative to clinton and how he is the most selfish billionaire.
He is only "out" because gawker outed him. He reacted very badly to it and has caused gawker to go bankrupt by using the hogan suit. Just because he is gay does not mean he is not homophobic.
I was commenting on the poster implying Thiel is happily openly gay. He is not, he is homophobic and reacted exactly as I would have expected as a multibillionaire. He squashed the little people.
Wow, just wow. So jimmy carter, you know the guy from 76 is STILL building houses for people. Carter foundation, Clinton foundation, Bush foundation, Reagan Foundation all do serious work. I've not seen anything of merit that the Trump foundation does even though the guy is super rich. What was the one article I saw, Trump is richer than all the past presidents combined.
Just because he is gay does not mean he isn't homophobic. He is somewhat like royalty with his money. Kings/dukes/Noble's in Europe and Great Britain could be gay and not killed for it. Common folk not so much. As others have mentioned, Thiel did not take kindly to be outed by gawker, which is now bankrupt by his funding of the Hogan lawsuit. Roy Cohn (you know one of Trump's early mentors) was also gay, and yet he participated in the McCarthy hearings. J Edgar Hoover was also gay, but homophobic.
KKK is having a parade in NC to celebrate the trump victory. The rats are coming out into the sunshine again. Back to the 50's to make america great again. I only post this as surprisingly, I think a number of/.'s may want to attend. Maybe the donald could be in the front car with thiel driving.
I wouldn't count on the US surviving this one. Expect china will be the dominant power by 2020. Pity, but the US will be britain before I die. I'd hoped to miss nero fiddle while rome burns. But nero showed up sooner then I expected.

Except in many cases, you can no longer obtain paper cert's, They are going the way of the dodo bird.

Except the only reason he is "openly" gay is because gawker outed him. He took they really well eh?
Umm you mean like the ACLU defending the KKK's right to hold rally's? I think you have it backwards.
