If it’s not a primary residence, you don’t get to deduct the taxes from other sources of income. It’s restricted to deducting from rental income. You can carry the loss forward though.

He’s asking specifically about Coinbase. Referencing how “most companies” do things isn’t relevant to his question. And can you explain to me why one is absolutely required to publicly vocalize their stance on the George Floyd issue? How is

Not sure I get it. When you say it "schedules" a task, what does that mean? Is it just putting it in the prioritized list?

Pay isn’t directly based on COL. It’s based on supply and demand. If there were thousands of baristas available to fill jobs at SF Starbucks, the pay would be lower. The reason pay is higher in SV is because all the same firms were competin

There are so many falsehoods in this, I don’t know where to start. 1. Adding missing specs is less creative than designing a software system. It’s weird that adding specs to a product requirement is your example of creativity. 2. The correc

People claiming this isn’t a Chinese company (“it’s incorporated in the Caymans! Hurrdurrr”) are either misinformed or not being honest. From the Wikipedia link for ByteDance: > ByteDance's first app, Neihan Duanzi, was shut down in

Do you honestly believe that geopolitics don’t play a role in China banning US tech companies? You think China would allow Google if it censored search results?

Did you ever hire a nanny? Can that even be done with a newborn? I feel like just a couple nights reprieve to recover the sleep deprivation would be huge.
