Definitely worth it. I have actually used my classes in AI and Simulation Theory along with Numerical Analysis a ton. I started as a hacker--coder not cracker--from childhood with basic/assembler/c and only one undergrad comp sci course and often rely on my MSCS to lend authority to my knowledge of computers. It can't hurt to get a MIS masters instead or a masters in engineering management and lean heavily on the basics; Algorithms and Data Structures, Theory of computation, and operating systems/computer architecture. You can study simulation, ai or numerical analysis at your leisure using a MOOC. Stanford is great, so is the FastAi course. You will not need a ton of math beyond diff-eq and linear algebra, heavier on the linear algebra.

you could probably use CRISPR to literally trans-code it into base pairs and inject it into your genome, but the cost of synthesizing the oligonucleotide might be more than the wallet holds in some cases.

The claim is that location of the asset is literally impossible to prove short of having the only copy of the key on a drive in possession of the prosecution. An example crypto asset, in this case, perhaps one that is less than the threshold for this law, but used in court can be easily used to show that the asset either exists in multiple places at once, or nowhere at all, and can even exist, ephemerally, in the mind of someone or multiple people.

A crypto wallet is a handful of bytes. Perhaps a string of words if you are using passphrases as mnemonics. Where does that exist? A bank or exchange does have a physical location and would exist somewhere, but a crypto wallet really has no defined location unless specifically being held in a defined place on a defined server as per business rules. Its like saying "you cannot leave South Africa because your body is worth, like, um 50,000 USD in harvested organs..."

"This is a fairly recent “announcement” and many people are upset about the Reserve Bank making up seemingly hostile and uninformed rules regarding something that has no notion of borders and is practically impossible for the regulators to control in terms of owning and transferring. Something that arguably does not even exist in any one location..." So now, a memorized key or password means you are transferring "right to capital" and therefore cannot leave South Africa? I'm fairly certain that Apartheid was thoroughly shot down back in the 80s.

Your honor, can the prosecution please be compelled to demonstrate where the bitcoin physically exists? Oh on this computer? Well, the key is memorized and there are several copies saved all over the world in cloud computers. Can the prosecution show the court, physically, where in the computer the asset exists?

Its worse than that. As a tenant, you cannot have people who are not on the lease stay long term without them going through a background check. This means that you may end up increasing the homelessness of relatives with temporary financial issues and also isolating potential mates with financial issues from living with their significant others until married, forcing the better financially equipped mate to take a hit to their credit/rent risk and lose the ability to rent in a better area. Also, you are severely limited in the things you can do at leased residences. Garden? Maybe not if its in the lease.

Where does she think this money is coming from? The poop fairy? Any raise in the cost of labor will be reflected in a price raise. I give you 22/hr now, but eggs are $7 a dozen. All of the raise is eaten up in price increases. How hard can this be? Retail has insanely tight margins where labor is the major cost center.

You can code with the cheapest Chromebook available. Everything can be in the cloud, including your Ryzen desktop via VNC or RDP--linux/Mac or windows respectively. I had a team that did all of its dev work in our VMware internal cloud and then pushed production into the amazon cloud. You can, and I have done, good work on a Samsung Dex based phone plugged into a monitor with keyboard and mouse because you can either use cloud based resources or your own 'internal' cloud based systems via the web.

Wouldn't it stand to reason that removing some of the containers would raise its draft a bit? It can't be that hard to do given that some smaller vessels include cranes.
