An ICO is just a smart contract software as a service. The company running the SAAS pays taxes on the ICO, those who buy them treat it as a service expense. If they sell their tokens they pay tax on the income.
Commonly referred to as the "VAN", State voter participation records, even for party primaries/caucus, are a matter of public record. Who you voted for may be confidential, but that you showed up and voted isn't.
Larger political organizations go the extra mile to annotate these records and aggregate them. They even have door to door pollsters that go around to those who have voted recently and target them with polling questions.
IMHO it is a good thing this is open to the wider public, and not just in the hands of a few with the deep pockets to aggregate it.
That's way low. A lot of State employees have personal FB accounts where they post material similar to what would be on the embassy account. Add those in and the ROI for engagement is probably much higher.
The Chinese and Japanese can both do a lot of shenigans with their US treasury reserves.
1) Blanket the market and buy as many call options as you can. 2) Announce that your treasury is dumping 100% of it's US treasuries, and you will only take hard assets or Euro as payment. 3)Stock prices now soar on inflation. 4)Exercise all your call options. 5)Blanket the market and buy as many put options as you can. 6)Announce that you have decided not to sell your US treasuries after all as the bids "weren't as high as you expected" 7)Stock prices plunge on deflation. 8)Exercise all your put options. 9) GOTO 1
You can't anonymize it. Any information given with enough detail to be useful is many times more than enough to reconstruct the relation of "anonymized" data points.
They should buy a data center and fill it with D. E. Shaw's special purpose hardware for doing particle simulations: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anton_(computer) , and instead of proposing grants for new software development, propose grants to keep the data center's queue full of interesting chemical simulations to run.
Marketing campaign I am thinking guy with a bucket or water hose going at a pretty good clip. Some line concerning the need for something high bandwith like downloading the full Lord of the Rings trilogy off of Netflix, then guy clicks the menu option for 4G and some huge dude with a much bigger bucket or hose douses the guy.
Verizon should go two tier and rate cap. You get unlimited at 3G bandwidth, and then pay separate for data over so many GB when you have your phone in full bandwidth mode. One easy menu option, everybody stays happy.
There are two sides to a trade. By sending a buy signal this raises the stock price, so any sellers coming in right after get the benefit of a higher sale, even though they might not have any new information. It might mess up other day trading bots, but when it comes to stocks buyer beware.
Just post the source to the public domain. The ACLU will be down their throats in a second if they try to stop you. Make sure to post some research results of the software along with it to make it clearly a documentation of a machine experiment you have conducted, and thus fair use.
If you want to use it as proprietary you are probably up a creek.
Classically taught chemistry needs to die. The wrote memorization of odd latin names and electron algebra is worthless. Just go through the periodic table showing the cool properties of the separate elements, demonstrate the types of bonds, classic reactions, useful materials, and then go into computational chemistry.

Insurance is a gambling game. The companies go around playing chicken biding lower and lower prices to a pool of individuals. The risky ones get burned and the smart ones like Buffet make a mint. Genetic testing will actualy make the market more competive. Given a group of individuals they can more closely tell what their actual risk is, allowing them to price policies more effectively. The problem will be in who can lock in the healthy people via marketing. Insurance companies will fight firecely to get individuals from healthier areas and demographics (18-40).
Another conclusion is that after viewing violent media the brain knows it doesn't want to copy this behavior so it goes into a "yeah whatever" mode. This might have a negative impact on learning soon after watching violent media. They should test this.
Health insurers would start funding drug research if drug patents were abolished. So would hospitals, chemical engineering firms,...
It wouldn't cry a tear if the "drug" companies were divested. They spend way to much money on marketing instead of research. Their marketing does very little for the health of the patient, and in cases like Vioxx is even detremental by taking patients away from better suited medications.
Sharing one of these letters with your congressman is fine. The executive is supposed to keep them abreast of all matters anyway. I don't remember reading anywhere in the "patriot" act that congress asked to be left in the dark...
Not really news to those in the math community. Many papers even thank the NSA explicitly for funding. In addition NSA mathematicians attend many conferences and even give great talks. But then algorithms for finite fields isn't a sexy cloak and dagger of a research area...
They shouldn't have rolled it out until it was fully tested. Run it on last years payroll and make sure it is 100% the same. Once the ERP firm has customized it properly, THEN buy the license. Why any organization would pay up front for a large software system without taking into consideration the fact that it has to be customized is beyond me.
Software vendors need to be straight with their customers and describe how much time/money their systems take to customize and customization issues should be spelled out in the contract. Contracts go both ways. If the ERP firm knowingly hid the customization costs then the buyer should withhold payment to cover them.

The Fed is completely over-thinking this.

Not surprising. Police still need a warrant.
Androids have become a lot more secure. IPhones are crackable but it takes a special rig, https://arxiv.org/abs/1609.043... .
Wouldn't this help enforce GPL compliance?

Cringely does realize if he replaces the word "garbage" with "another nation's military satellites" this is going to get a lot of DARPA funding :p
Port Valgrind and I would probably start using OpenSolaris for development. I have it running under VirtualBox right now, kind of nice.
