Sorry, but mass layoffs aren't exactly the most rational ones. There's a lot of "you have to cut X off your salary budget", pick whoever you want. Then it's up to the managers to pick, very subjectively, who they wa

Until hiring decisions are subjective and prone to manipulation - the "rainmakers" will not be fired. Middle management is screwed, though. Though functions like CEO and a lot of the executive suite - are under threat of just bein

To grow faster. To be able to fund new projects that could be of higher value to people willing to pay extra. You know, how you don't just save all of your life for a house - but get a mortgage and enjoy a house now, not in 50 years.

Because storage, even globally replicated, isn't the core cost or the core function of a security company. Your app, the detection of forms (when total idiots try to prevent password managers being used), the security audits, active

AWS business model is to just literally take a popular OSS system and provide it as a service. It was like that from the beginning. That's why there's much less animosity towards AWS, because they just allow you to run your X with

> The Tesla Model S has been out for more than a decade by now. Which is hardly enough data, to make a claim that "people buy EVs less often". We will only be able to make that claim, after a while of EV usage - which should al

I'm not arguing with an estimate. My argument is simply to refute the claim that "people don't buy EVs as often"... Which is based on estimates and and gut feeling, not exactly backed by any statistics at this point. Rig

So far most Teslas aren't exactly old enough to even consider using this data. We know ICEs can last for decades. We don't know how long Li-ion based EVs will last, practically. Theoretically they will not last as much as ICE. Whi

The current production Li-ion cells have a few hundred cycles. Once we actually get to that 1500 - we can talk. But again - a claim that "people buy EVs less" isn't grounded in any fact at all. You know, because people replac

> people buy EVs less frequently than unreliable ICE cars Huh? The irony of you saying "no basis in fact"... Design life for a typical ICE car is typically 10 years of service... but not limited to that, as many cars live way p

Nuclear was being phased out for a little longer than 2 years now. It was a stupid move, considering that Germany also pushed to classify gas power as "clean" in the EU.

I expect that this law is going to either be restricted by german courts, or ECHR/CJEU.

I do, and when I do I get a tax person. But 7 out of 8 years in a row my taxes were standard deduction... Question is - how does it excuse Intuit at all?

by JAlexoid 3y ago
Let's be real - us paying them $4000 per year isn't going to make them money. Tricking your parents into paying for things that they don't even need - that's where the money is. Selling 20 $2mil cars per years isn't

Yeah... My accountant wants $2300 per year to make sure that we withhold the correct amount. (that sum is also no tax deductible) The whole system is created to screw you... and yet many people defend it.

Every single rational country provides a tax form to their residents, that is prefilled. You get the bill, with explanations. You file documentation with the tax authorities and then you get a response. I have done that in multiple countrie

There's probably not a single lawmaker that they don't have on the hooks, along with a litany of CPA's who's sole existence depends on you requiring to have someone just input numbers into Intuit QuickBooks. And most Ame

I mean... They pay off literally every single lawmaker, to make sure that you will pay them for doing your taxes. If you had any respect for them at any time, you probably shouldn't have. The level of corruption that they support is st

How is trusting a third party to deliver you the authentic public keys isn't "trusting a third party"?

This isn't an elevator pitch, it's a standup line. I understand your excitement, but your elevator pitch fails to tell me why I should even look at it.
