Any idea how this impacts things like the Citizen app? It's helpful to see if there is violence or similar risks nearby, particularly in major metros. Would be a shame if they were cut off from being able to provide that info to the public to help protect themselves.

For anyone considering working with Peter, our firm has been a client for 10 years, have sponsored 5-10 green cards and 20+ visas. Peter has been amazing to work with and we've gotten emphatic thank you notes from people we recommended to him.

Except it's not a business. It's the government and it's job is to apply the law in a country founded on the idea of equality.

Should police only pull over people in luxury cars because they're more likely to be able to pay a speeding ticket?

I know this sounds crazy, but how about we apply the law equally to everyone? I have a difficult time seeing how targeting or generalizing any group of people rather than individual likelihood of tax evasion is an appropriate application of resources.

Rental units generally change hands much more frequently than owned homes. Accordingly, rental units offer a more real-time view of housing cost trends.

There are also a lot of homeowners who locked in at a very low interest rate (both new homes and refinancing) with little incentive to move any time soon.

This is simply not accurate.

I build financial market infrastructure and in the last twelve months I've seen companies in my industry presenting at AWS and Splunk conferences, and a Cassandra meetup.

There are lots of great technologists in the space that are just like the rest of us and love sharing ideas. There are definitely NDAs in place, but "financial infrastructure" generally refers to processing systems, not trading systems. The former is increasingly utilized, while the latter generates alpha (i.e. where you actually make money).

People like sharing ideas about processing infrastructure because everyone benefits when the rest of the market gets better at it also. Your efficiency is only as good as your counterparties' efficiency. If their system breaks, you still have a broken trade that costs you operational time and money no matter how good your infrastructure is.

There is a lot more wrong with what this author wrote, but in the interest of time I'll keep my answer to the question asked.

How do you mean? There are examples of formal verification working in the video. The resulting compiled smart contracts are on the live Ethereum blockchain.

There's also AxLang. It's a core DSL based on Scala. Enables formal verification. Live demo on the public ETH mainnet:

Remarkably low amount of new info relative to the clickbait title. Huge surprise: Govies watch everything you do and wait for you to mess up.

Including this comment. I'm toast.

Great - an always-on microphone in my home that sends all of my conversations and interactions directly to Amazon for analysis

Agreed. There's something to be said about maximizing productivity and relaxation time. Also, it's nice that they have a business model that works from a remote location, but personal interactions with clients go a long way for most companies.

This same justification was used for obtaining personal financial information from bank accounts (see US v. Miller, 1976).

My problem with this line of logic is that it can be applied to anything not owned directly by the person under surveillance. For example, let's say you rent an apartment. Can the government force the landlord to install mics and cameras without telling you? It's not your property, so do all of your fourth amendment protections disappear?

You're double counting the yuan fees and ignoring the bitcoin fees. The exchange makes 0.3% on the 340,000 XBT (1,020 XBT, or about 625,000 USD) and 0.3% on the 1.25 billion yuan it was traded for (3.75 million yuan / 615,000 USD). The buyer and seller each only pay fees on one side of the trade in the currency they obtained in the transaction.

edit: That's why the section you quote only has around half of the figure shown in the headline.
