Bitcoin itself is a long random number. In essence, having bitcoin is knowing such long random number that nobody else knows. Another feature is that it is easy to hide bitcoin, the same way as easy to hide random number. Unfortunately for India, banning bitcoin will unavoidably cause Streisand effect. People looking to preserve the wealth will see that BTC is available and not-illegal elswhere. Since India has reputation for bottomless corruption, BTC will become an instrument of choice. I think that BTC will be valued at $20k by the end of the year, due to India demand alone.

Intuit is based in California. Why are the liberals not happy with the more competition? That being said, with the current tax laws there will always be a need for people in tax preparation profession. They are too damn complicated.

Hi IQ, unconventional and out-of-the box thinking people are useful for once-in-a-lifetime situations. Solution: manage your own destiny by becoming independent inventor, creator, developer, researcher/scientist. Nobody wil come to YOU and work to promote YOUR idea so that you could be succesful. You have to shill yourself all the way to the end.

This question is from the same source, that would ask "what if there is an infinite number of dimensions". There is a concept of symetric encryption. Theoretically it is noise, chaos, random numbers. There is no even theoretical way to decipher symetric encryption, such as one time pads. The way your question is re-phrased: what would happen if there would be a way to obtain information from randomness? Question is moot.

Deceptive method to obtain DNA sample is indication of stereotypic police/detective work behaviour. They are playing with suspect's fears, hoping that he will confess. In practical terms there is no case against this person, whether he is guilty or not. There is a statute of limitations. Further, evidence gathering was not as good as it is now and could be scrutinized using modern day standards. Just remember OJ Simpson case.

Also, time to introduce lasers. if the baddie is fishing in the sea, he can be fried with laser beam delivered by peaceful dolphin or shark.

The only difference that the head of the project at the company would need to be fired. Same happened at Hertz. Incompetent person has from Company side has allowed for the project to go without proper supervision. Hours racked up, no real work has been done. When they realized that there is no substance in the work done, the Hertz "coordinator" was connected enough to blame Accenture. I am not defending Accenture here - often they are clueless people. However here Hertz needs to take responsibility and fire their own incompetent people.

As is usually the case, promises are made but those who make promises never get to be held accountable.

Railways, Coal and Iron are a threat to the horse, carriage making business. Or that is what they said back then. My grandfather's first profession was wooden wheel maker that he learned exactly in 1919, when he was 16. The story is that he knew how to make wooden wheels, but his skills wee used to making furniture and doing carpentry. High speed internet or not internet, people would not buy shitty music, so no need to blame highspeed internet.

What if you were told that capacitor can be acting as a listening device?

Many users have multiple accounts so that you can safely check on other people. At some point you stop using those other accounts... Facebook for many people is nothing but interactive address book, with messaging capabilties.

Truth is that Apple was a true pioneer and serious contributor in automating many processes that were analog or manual. Famous Apple software products are true marvels. Now if trend is about to continue and T.Cook is promising some automated blow marvel. What could that be? Auto blow?

Article is just wonderful. Stores are the reason why they are poor.... right. No no, these stores are bad because they sell stuff too cheap! Undercut prices for toilet paper, soap, coca cola and doritos! Have they considered that America is a free country and if it was profitable to sell fresh food, somebody would be selling. Further, a quick google MAP search uncovers a plenty of grocery shops all over Tulsa, OK, including northern part. The hero in the article, the politician, is clear about her background: never lived outside of town.....

Good plan, but union salaries go to the range of $100K to $150k or so. Cops with some exp make $120K. In private sector that would be equivalent of $200K due to the benefit such as pension, never paying trafic tickets etc. You are correct, $3B better be used to reduce the burden for the rest of the New Yorkers, but $50K is not a living wage in NYC, more like a starter paycheck, really.

Have you considered the stress that people experience when they need to pony up the money when taxes are being paid? Lack of empathy, cruel and cold immorality is so typical among the socialists.
