I'm not sure if it is the same thing that this commenter was thinking of, but the show "Formula 1: Drive to Survive" was a breakaway hit on Netflix (not Amazon Prime) when season one was released last year (which followed the teams across the 2018 season) and brought a ton of new fans to the sport. It is really well done and very engaging. Season 2 just released in February and follows the teams across the 2019 season.
I spent quite a bit of time with NASCAR last year (I attended the Daytona 500 and previously visited their HQ and archives). Most of the up and coming drivers are previously accomplished eRacers, but the transition to experiences in a real car are enormously different. Not many make the cut, the tracks rote memory is very useful but real life is exceedingly different
Love the idea of visual feedback for debugging! Maybe this can be super helpful for people who are trying to learn data structures? Or maybe for going through project euler.
(Rand from SparkToro here) Honored that you'd think of us, but no plans to hire in the near term. We're gonna be super-conservative and try to get a product to market before we consider hiring.
Interestingly, Salesforce was originally planning to build a 14-acre campus in San Francisco (the Mission Bay neighborhood), but had to scrap those plans due to growth[1].
I am currently participating in a blockchain hackathon. Our group has pivoted away from doing a government-based blockchain e-vote system because of proof of identity / voter fraud problems. We are considering doing a lottery system based on voter turnout.
If BTC is treated as property (as the IRS says), then no. You'll only owe capital gains tax on it at the point where you sell or exchange it. Your capital gain will be the amount you sold it for minus the amount you bought it for, minus any expenses incurred buying/selling it. (If you sell it for less than you bought it for, you'll have a capital loss.) It's essentially treated like shares of stock.
