Wouldn't the obvious fix be elimination of 1031b exchange, capital gains on all house appreciation, and only allowing 1 active federally backed mortgage at a time (with some consideration for allowing a purchase of a new place & selling the old place).

Am I the only one who redacts info, prints it out, then scans it back in? Or redacts, then takes a screenshot before sending out?

For some reason I just never trust the PDF tool (or human error on my end) actually redacting the info, even if I were to do a print to PDF.

Google/Android already scans for BLE beacons. It could add a notification for a BLE beacon it sees following users.

If the stock market and housing doesn't appreciate then inflation would harm us all. Couldn't the cost of living increase while investment vehicles stay flat caused by rising interest rates.

Is it illegal to sell your artwork at an auction, and a criminal happens to be the one to buy it? I honestly don't know.

is the onus on an artist or on an "auction house" to vet buyers. If post sale it turns out the money was fraudulent, does the artist need to pay it back?

In crypto terms. You the artist simply put a NFT up for auction at OpenSea. You the scammer happened to purchase the artwork on OpenSea. However KYC is not well enforced, enabling for money laundering between the two wallets.

If he instead started to draw NFTs, and sell it from his KYC account to his dirty wallet, could he still be convicted? What if only one out of every 100 NFTs his dirty wallet purchased was from his KYC account?

Or what if he decided to create his own crypto-currency and it just so happened that his dirty wallet was an early investor of ETH to his fund.

Seems like he could have done more to distance himself.

Zoom charges a $/user/month. Companies pre-covid had video conferencing platforms. Zoom did a lot of shifting of existing spend from business on Webex & Hangouts/Meet to its platform.

Even if Zoom's average usage per paid user goes down post-pandemic, it's revenue will remain constant and could still grow as new employees are hired and new companies switch over.

Would the castle doctrine apply to your digital residency?

> that cloth masks have much more limited effectiveness than initially assumed

I recall multiple studies early on stating cloth masks were not effective and should be avoided if you have access to surgical or n95 masks.

My impression is that the (US) government didn't want to nuisance this discussion as it'd only open further criticism of mask mandates.

Technically, revenue decline would be a lagging indicator of poor search results and poor user experience.

But agreed.
