If the developers worked on this years revenue, they should go into COGS, but if they are building things that will have value over many years they should be charged over many years.

Weird to not include that in the example then. Maybe this will help you. If (as you imply) SW developers are critical to this year’s revenue (vs. building for future years revenue), then why don’t they go in COGS? Seems like an easy way t

It's so weird to see the Fox News bubble (As someone who never visits the site) isn't just ideological, but also topic specific. For example, they are highlighting Aaron Carter and two Florida men who shot children in a road rage

We aren’t supposed to ask direct questions on here, but you “get” that a company charges 20% of each of the past 5 years, right? Like, we agree that’s what depreciation/amortization is, right? So this most affects companies that have a

The problem with “elites” breeding to “save the world” are as follows: 1) Who defines elite? Referencing the article, is “working at a think tank” really an indicator of being elite in any sense? I certainly don’t see getting a job at a thi

This is disingenuous though, because they would also have 4 other years of salaries to amortize. If anything HN should be cheering this law since it incentivizes growing your R&D team quickly and consistently.

> But at the same time, there's public outcry over the absurd pricing, so the airport has to mollify lawmakers by insisting it'll come up with a policy where they won't charge more than 10% for what would be comparable in

I think people really forget that UFOs and aliens are only related because science fiction and pop culture. We have two separate problems: 1) We are seeing a lot more things that we can’t identify (reasonable thing to believe to be true in

Or gently nudging people not to comment on it, so it naturally floats down the algorithm…

I get that this story was huge and topical and all, but now that it’s clear that there are no culture war points to be won by either side, maybe day to day trial updates don’t belong on HN? Let’s just hope that the killer is brought to just

Please don't talk about hypothetical conspiracies as though they are fact on here. The rest of the Internet has enough of that. We don't have any evidence around your claims other than speculation and that's not the point of

I think it is important to note that police do not only protect adult residents.

Again, I agree murders are important to discuss, but it is not a good idea to talk about smash and grabs like they are murders .

I didn't like the direction of this comment. All cities are good and bad in their own way for the people that live there.

I mean, I think you’re again missing the point here. Jet engines can be solved with money. The actual steps of making an LLM require complex math and you can’t just pay people to make better math. And if you could, wouldn’t those people d

Plenty of things were major issues in SF well before they diffused to the rest of the country. It’s why the American right is so dead set on villainizing SF’s progressive government: LGBT rights, recreational drug use, Nimby-ism (to your po

This is such an interesting take. The military invented the nuclear bomb yes. But Fermi did most of his thinking work in Italy before the Manhattan project. He got money thrown at him once he got here. As for semiconductor devices ,

Gaussian transcription models are old, but they also are AI. They are not deep learning/neural nets. Also fun fact as a pedant tax: Symantec is so named because they started out as transcription software, hit a wall, and pivoted to

This isn’t really a “throw money at it” problem like the government is good at. Take drones for example. The government got really good at those because they made them jet-powered (lol) and blew a bunch of money on server-grade FPGA’s in ea

Sure, but I wouldn't characterize that as 'being left behind.' Just 'being delusional.' And if we agree there, then yes I agree that people are less self-critical and more delusional now than ever before (since we h

I think something important to note is that SF does not have jurisdiction over the Federal Building's plaza/steps. I say that because it's a reminder of two things: 1) This isn't really a policing issue (if it were,

In 2010, SF/Oakland + San Jose MSAs had 3.2 million people in the workforce. Today, it's 3.7 million. Austin in 2010 had 950K and now has 1.4mn. Cities like Austin just felt like they grew more b/c they had a smaller starting

From a first principles standpoint that makes no sense. There are the same number of people and the same number of desirable people, with or without the Internet. By your logic, both sides of the relationship will get 'left behind,&#x2
