That seems like a reasonable approach. That's much preferable to a tax on realized gains and a tax on unrealized gains. In the US when you buy a mutual fund you're already paying a "tax", for example, Fidelity eats 0.83% if you invest in their FSLVX mutual fund [1].

That's not a tax, that's the expense ratio, which is basically describing fees captured by the fund manager. Funds accessible to Dutch investors involve similar ERs. It's not an alternative.

You can use syncthing too. Works just as well.

Is there a robust Syncthing app for iOS? Last time I checked there was only an affiliate project and their story wasn't convincing.

I had a hunch this was the bridge featured in The Wire s2e1, "Ebb Tide". Classic McNulty; a great season opener.

DALI (IMO: 9697428) is a Container Ship and is sailing under the flag of Singapore. Her length overall (LOA) is 299.92 meters and her width is 48.2 meters [1].

Based on the track, it appears the ship changed course slightly and slowed as it approached the bridge [2].

The Sound Map of Amsterdam shows the (calculated) noise load for the most important traffic sources in the city.

I live in Amsterdam and beg to differ. You are probably only referring to Jordaan, indeed it's pretty quiet for a simple reason: most streets aren't accessible by car (or if they are, they are a huge pain to drive around on). Have you been to de Pijp? Or the Oud Zuid? They're much more accessible by car and they're also incredibly noisy. I have lived in all 3 and can tell you that the difference is noticeable to say the least.

Gemeente Amsterdam publish a handy noise map (along with some other great public data). Check it out: https://maps.amsterdam.nl/geluid/

This attack makes no sense to me:

—————

Active Attack:

1. Adversary replaces the contents of ./Personal/malicious-site.com with the contents of ./Work/id_ed25519

2. Victim decrypts ./Personal/malicious-site.com and the decrypted contents is placed in her clipboard automatically.

3. Victim logs into malicious-site.com.

The victim just uploaded her work SSH private key to malicious-site.com

————

If the attacker is on the victim’s machine and has access to the ssh private key (“id_ed25519”), wouldn’t they just upload it directly to malicious-site.com via curl or whatever? Why this whole rigamarole?

If someone is on your machine doing arbitrary things what software can reasonably protect you? Even Signal would fail.

They don’t have access to the ssh private key. They have access to the encrypted password file (and presumably not the password used to encrypt it).

The attack works when the user doesn’t realize they’re sending their SHH private key through the password form of malicious-site.com.

Something like accidentally putting your Google password into the Dropbox login form. Dropbox have now seen your Google password.

Atlanta, having a much smaller transit system, has (or had) what looked like an oversized airline food service cart that was moved by regular passenger service between stations. In K-Mart "Blue Light Special" fashion, it had an amber rotating light on top of a pole connected to the cart. IIRC, there were always two armed employees operating it but otherwise the whole operation seemed rather relaxed. Most stations only had kiosks to vend transit tickets. The ones with manned "Ride Stores" might have had a more secure procedure for moving cash in and out.

Seems logical to move smaller sums more frequently.
