If you're arguing fair user, you've already lost. That's a matter of opinion so it has to go all the way to a jury verdict. That means there's no guarantee and even if you win, you have to pay a couple million for the bi

I'm pretty sure that product exists. I've heard of AvaTax; there may be others. I typed "avatax vs" in Google and it autocompleted "taxjar", so there's another I guess. Yes it would be nice if the states m

At the very least, you need someone to bounce ideas off of. I used to think I was an introvert, until I went to grad school and tried living in my own head for months at a time. I clicked on that link and I noticed that Darwin and Kraichnan
