Well, they did sue Cox Communications for a billion dollars because they weren't self-policing. ISPs can lose their safe harbor status and effectively become accomplices in all the piracy of their customers.

Not only downloading, but also uploading. Your ISP (in America) has a policy about how many DMCA strikes you get before they disable your internet permanently.

In New Hampshire, we banned both public and private ALPRs. You can see on the map that the only ones are at toll booths. Those got explicit exemptions in the law.

"adb" is the name of the executable. Expanding the acronym isn't that relevant. It wpuld be like explaining that KDE stands for Kommon Desktop Environment.

For example, the Rikers Island jail is mostly for pre-trial detention. People don't get sentenced to Rikers.

And if you teach them about expected value, also teach risk of ruin.

It's against the terms of service to do the generation, but the generated text is not copyrighted. Those are different things.

Sometimes an article is just asking a question. Putting a question in the headline doesn't mean it's getting answered in the article.

That has all the problems listed. The header could be modified or the response blocked by anyone who could modify or block the plain HTTP(S) response.

I think swapping to monero would be the weak link there. If they do it on a "legit" exchange, it at least makes an attempt to get the client's identity. If they do it directly with someone who has monero to sell, that person gets stuck with "tainted" ethereum.

Decentralization means that each party gets to decide what assets and transactions they view as legitimate.

Yes, and more non-spam email is getting filtered as spam. Also, a mailing list I was unable to unsubscribe from and marked as spam at least 5 times kept being delivered to my inbox.

The difference I don't get is: why is buying $1,667 of stock and paying $333 in tax different from buying $2,000 of stock that you will later realize 80% of? You spend the same total amount up front and get the same result later.

Yeah sorry for being cryptic. It's 20 years compounding at 7% per year. Scenario one: take your starting investment, subtract 20% for taxes, then do the compound growth. Scenario two: take your whole starting investment, do the compound growth, then subtract 20% of the result.

It's totally possible that I missed modeling some part of the situation that somehow makes more money from the Roth way of doing things. But the models above produce the same results.

I was never clear on how much difference it made. Either you pay (say) 20% up front or you pay 20% later. With compound growth multiplying in the middle, does it really make a difference to how much you have at the end?

0.8 * (1.07 ^ 20) == (1.07 ^ 20) * 0.8

That with a Roth IRA you pay the tax rate when you're working, and a normal one you pay according to the tax rate when you're retired?

Not just anything, but the other kind of IRA lets you put money in without paying income tax first.

And Roth IRAs are funded post-tax. That means he paid taxes on the income already, before he put the money into the IRA. That's why it's "tax-free".

You can even point VLC at a .iso file on a web server, and seek around in it.
