One is 100% cash, 0% non-cash. The other is 0% cash, 100% non-cash. The difference is as wide as it is possible to be.

It doesn't go through "extra scrutiny" in any meaningful sense. It just gets reported to the IRS so people don't evade taxes.

The federal government just put a cap on overdraft fees. IIRC, it is $3.

Your salary costs for all programming and other development can only be written off over a five year period instead of the year you incur them. That means if you are breaking even normally with 1MM of developer costs, the government will ta

You are really hung up on misinterpreting this. I'm not sure if it's intentional or not, but this is like the 4th place you've confused "must accept cash for payments" with "must accept a cash replacement for g

Cabinet members and some others can be fired by the president. Those that cannot be fired serve a fixed term when they are appointed by the President and they then have to be confirmed by the Senate.

How are the president's nominated and senate confirmed agency heads not accountable to the political process?

But it makes sense that with those alternatives shareholders would vote in favor of a buyout or a merger.

While true, it is equivalent to shareholders in that they get wiped out.

Although that sounds annoying, clearly the reason for that behavior is this entire thread. If the old couple had not been zooming at the time, they would have rebooted and that would have fixed things.

Thank you. I was unaware of that. It still seems like there may be creative options that costs less than $86 billion.

He demanded voting rights, not equity. That's an important distinction. I'm willing to bet a percentage of Tesla stockholders would be more than happy to have Musk have more control. But it could be trivially met by just making hi

In a contentious custody case, this is very true. If the parents are splitting up and agree on a plan that they both like, the lawyer becomes far less necessary. Although then the lawyer is very cheap and probably still worth it.

A private company makes mistakes. Competition corrects it by either forcing the private company to adapt or driving them out of business. There are issues with that plan when there are not enough competitors.

The value of the local college decreases dramatically if your goal isn't to stay local. If you want to move across the country, I'm would bet the MIT name outweighs the friend-of-a-friend introductions you could get.

The problem with something like AmazonGo is that people don't just like being tracked by CCTV. Making it more obvious will drive people away. To say nothing of people not trusting it to accurately ring up their purchases.

I don't know. Meta has not had a history that encourages me to just see what happens in a space they are popularizing. I would like it if we could get ahead of it.

This is like Liberland in the Balkans. It's not "unclaimed and no one wants it". There are two drawn lines for the border. Each country prefers a different line, which gives them better territory and the other country Bir Taw

I clicked on a few at random. I saw vegetarianism "with comprehensive lifestyle changes" in one case. "Well-planned" vegan meals compared to a standard (less planned) omnivore diet in another. Obviously, physically activ

Wouldn't that be the opposite? Subscriptions through the App stores, ads as PWA?

Other than ads, search or mobile OS, I'm not sure where else Google is beating MS. I don't mean to diminish those things, they are important. But ChromeOS is clearly nowhere near displacing Windows (for instance).

As the article points out, female suicide attempts far outnumber male suicide attempts. That male suicide succeeds more often is due to the methods used. If you are using suicide as a proxy for mental health, then suicide attempts seem as v

Why would only big agricultural business be able to afford to have crops? Water use, and thus costs, should scale linearly with acreage.

A common complaint people have is about their (landline) phone or cable company for the same local monopoly reasons. Comcast, etc. famously have high prices and bad customer service in the US.

Yes. In the US this happens 95 years after the initial creation of the software. Many other countries match this time period. Other countries may recognize a shorter copyright, but I believe no country will recognize a longer one.
