This is actually good news. Tax on Bitcoin legitimize the currency.
Riiight. I can see all those Bitcoin miners heading out to get their tax forms right now so they can declare their coins.

So...just like stocks/shares then? Or any other property you own.
Sounds to me like you think the IRS got it right.
FreeDOS isn't done until Lotus won't run.
Or something.
(why smartphone, by the way?)
It probably connects to a serial port or something.
ATM machines have ports where you can plug in a diagnostic computer. One of the diagnostic functions will be "test the cash dispenser".
The SMS trigger is just there so they can do it at night and make sure somebody's standing there to grab the money.
Really? This stuff isn't being done to begin with?
Why would they? It's in a locked steel box. People aren't using it to surf the web.
Yes, there is a burden of proof on the holistic healers to prove their case
Their "case" boils down to "placebo effect". Wikipedia already has that covered: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Dear AC, people really believe things. Really. They have values.
The holistic "healers" really believe that they have science on their side, or that they are being scientific. It is just like Ken Ham, and Lord Monckton.
That is what makes the situation sad. Not everything is about money.
The placebo effect is very real, it really works, and that's what this is, ie. placebo in the guise of "Energy Medicine" instead of a sugar pill.
Yes, it can cure, it can help people, but not people with real diseases/illnesses.
In no circumstances should it substitute proper science if there's something seriously wrong with you.
Most of the skills you'll learn at the moment with sub-$1000 printers are:
* Calibration/leveling
* Throwing away models because of bad calibration/leveling
* Recalibration/adjusting the leveling
* Throwing away models because of bad print options that caused the plastic to droop
* Trying different print options to find one that works for that particular object
Printers (and printer driver software) will eventually improve and make most of those skills obsolete.
That's funny. I could have sworn one of the hottest technologies around was a thing called a "cellphone".
I guess I must be old fashioned...
This proposal will get a lot of publicity.
The "rejected" vote will come after the next elections and will be played down by the media...
...and how does Google dumping money into something make it un-doomed? It can still fail just as badly as before.
Why?
The name, for starters. How much untold confusion has that caused?
Then there's the language....
Still, JavaScript isn't any worse than all those other languages that the BASIC programmers of the world seem to prefer. Even if JavaScript hadn't 'won' it would have been something similar. Better the devil you know.
Have fun dealing with everybody trying to get free internet. My neighbor didn't lock his down, and once his internet started running like molasses, he checked and found six different people using his internet at the one time.
My router has a separate "guest" WiFi that I can limit the bandwidth on. I'm free from any lawsuit hassle if I open that up
That only applies to the Pro line (which is selling pretty fast).
The camera on the "Pro" is useless (720p resolution), the camera on the "RT" is actually better (5 megapixels).
That's got to be a deal breaker for many people (it is for me).
it's hard to compete on the market for just making the prints.
Yep. There's a lot of printers out there among 'makers', and if there really is any money in it then there'll soon be a lot more.
