what about truely artificial sounds like stuff from movies/tv or videogames? I'm sure Disney would have opinions on any nerd using starwars spaceship sounds.

Might be difficult; back when Lucas still owned it, he basically was completely hands off on any and all fan films. Wouldn't surprise me if you can just pay a license fee for access to the Skywalker Sound effects library. Their stuff has been in all kinds of poo poo.

Sometimes I was only making $20 or $30 a week.” He eventually decided to leave the country and look for work elsewhere.

For anyone who’s not familiar with the acronym, “KYC” is “know your customer,” or alternately, “please take the barest minimum anti-money-laundering and anti-tax-evasion precautions.”

Motronic posted:CVTs started out as unmitigated trash and haven't gotten much better. They destroy themselves under normal conditions at a very, very disproportionally high failure rate and basically explode with any kind of load put on them. With the Prius CVT being the exception because it’s basically 2 electric motors, a gas engine, and differentials. It will last basically forever.

That's not what the change is about. Every trade from shitcoin to shitcoin is a taxable event. What they are doing is absolutely tax evasion. This change is to make sure they can actually enforce the existing tax code by, you know, having a proper name and address associated with these accounts.

I ran in to the argument that coins are just like beanie babies, so why should coins be taxed when beanie babies weren’t? I have no interest in finding out if beanie babies were or were not taxed, but I don’t know enough about trading things to know if/when/how they are taxed. I did see an article with various government finance people saying that coins backed by securities are securities themselves. But Bitcoin is backed by nothing at all, so it seems like I am missing something. Edit: According to this Forbes article all of it is taxable. It is all capital gains or income (depending on how long you held it) and collectables even have a special capital gains rate, which they specifically call out for NFTs. I guess its just tax evasion all the way down. MickeyFinn fucked around with this message at 23:05 on Aug 4, 2021 |

I have no interest in finding out if beanie babies were or were not taxed, but I don’t know enough about trading things to know if/when/how they are taxed. Trading assets, even if they are not securities, is a taxable event. If I trade you soybeans for corn we have to put a fair market value in dollars on each thing and if it's not the exact same FMV whoever "gained" has to pay taxes on that. If I then hold the corn until it's worth twice as much and sell it/trade it for something else I owe taxes on that 50% "capital gain". The same goes for shitcoins. So people constantly day trading between shitcoins have a massive, massive amount of paperwork to properly report. Or it's tax evasion.

People have to come back every month or so to have them recalibrated. There are also huge issues with determining how much alcohol is actually in someone system using their breath. Some people simply read lower/higher than others and it's very very common. This also does not address any other impairing substances. The state of this technology simply isn't "there" yet.
