What you wrote is an invention. Code is law came from, let's say, "techno utopians" that really believed you can programatically organize this way. See the concept of DAO for example.
So, code is law came from programmers that thought code is law. It's not a misunderstanding.
The ETH fork was caused about the difference wrt code is law.
No he did not. He gave a "direction". Which, legally, means almost nothing.
> “Going forward, consistent with the President’s direction, this Department of Justice – in a change to its longstanding practice – will not seek compulsory legal process in leak investigations to obtain source information from members of the news media doing their jobs,” Anthony Coley, Justice Department spokesman, said in a statement.
They are changing a "practice".
One uses laws to prevent practices one does not like, not "directions".
You are downvoted but I can confirm the only time I was almost assaulted as a tourist was in the Paris metro. Then I came outside and it looked like a Mad Max scenario with somebody casually selling corn baked in a barrel fire.
The US can tax US corporations anyway it sees fit.
What do other countries have to do with it?
Read the subtitle:
>The Biden administration wants other countries to back a minimum tax as part of its plan to raise the U.S. corporate tax rate to 28 percent from 21 percent.
This makes no sense. Is the IRS a global institution now?
Precisely. But instead of solving this problem inside US they want to re-engineer the whole globe.
Most countries are mad about multinationals, most of them rich US multinationals. If the US would do a proper job of taxing their own corporations none of this would be necessary.
Interesting how this is just in time for the Dutch sandwich scheme to expire. Clearly something else was missing!
Thank God the US is taking charge of the GLOBAL finances. What could go wrong!?
This is ladder pulling. Who needs smaller countries competing on fiscal rates when all tech should be registered in Dellaware?
Note how it's a small 15% to start with. If this goes through and all the treaties are in place moving it to 25% should be much easier.
Maybe the US should investigate all the creative ways US corporations pay so little tax anywhere. It's a problem caused by US and US corporation and now they come to provide a solution.
What I've read is that one has to distribute the portfolio across a risk spectrum. A big % to very low risk / low yield instruments (say, bonds), a medium % to blue chip stocks, a smaller % to more risky stocks, etc.
So, following that logic with cypto or lottery tickets, a very small % could be put in anything that has a high risk high reward.
When you say bother you mean effort but in theory you could outsource your potfolio so there's not more work by following one strategy or another.
Thus... are lottery tickets a good thing to have in the portfolio?
I'm quite curious if there is an answer to this from a statistics or investing point of view.
Ooh, so it's not only about killing but overall suffering. Because they do kill the bugs but animals don't generally eat the whole plant, only part of it. The plant still survives.
Which is odd considering Coinbase was a YC unicorn. Besides AirBNB how many unicorns did YC finance throughout the years?
