The bill looks like it is split because VAT is collected at each transaction, but in the end it nets out for everyone but the end consumer. So in your case the raw material producer would collect €1 of VAT from you, but this is entirely fic

> Even though VAT refunds seem analogous to US sales tax exemptions, the key difference is that VAT refunds remove tax burdens from exports in a way that US sales tax exemptions do not. I’m sorry, I fail to see the difference. In one cas

Yes, you are indeed repeating yourself. Unfortunately, that does not make what you are saying more right. VAT countries export VAT free. Sales tax countries export sales tax free. When you import something to a VAT country, the end consumer

Not true, see for example https://comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/publications/94-124.php

VAT returns ensure that exports leave the country VAT free, just like exports from the US leave the country free of sales tax. It is entirely analogous. How do you mean this gives VAT countries an advantage?

Makes me wonder if those also applies to professional chefs and cleaners. And do daycare staff need to declare time spent taking care of their own children?

You are misunderstanding. Both VAT and sales tax are only paid by the end consumer. The main difference is that VAT is progressively collected at each production step whereas sales tax is only collected during the final transaction to the e

In practice, when you buy something with VAT reverse charged, you normally declare the VAT to be paid and immediately claim it back on the same declaration. So in the net you pay nothing, but the VAT is of course still there.

I think only their definition of ”acceptable ID” is changing. The section for ”Don’t Have Your Acceptable ID?” stays the same.

What make you think it would apply retroactively? Taxes rarely do, I can’t even think of a single example (but would be happy to learn about one). Putting someone else’s name on the deed is a very bad idea for several reasons. I really can’

Have you never noticed that you were left out of an important conversation, without hearing the conversation itself?

Yeah I'm just going to choose to not take you seriously if you claim that any React version bump is as bad as moving to a completely new framework (which is effectively what angular 1->2 was).

Yeah they deprecated those three methods a long time around (sometime around 16.3 I think) yet they are still around in 19.0 (with an UNSAFE_ prefix). Regarding class components in general, what is the problem with maintainers choosing to e

by alexanderchr 2y ago
Yeah, as I said above I don't disagree. The ecosystem has lots of issues but React gets all the hate, unfairly in my opinion. It's a pretty well maintained piece of software.

The numbers are high because they jumped directly from 0.14 to 15.0, but the cadence is not particularly high: 18.0 was released early 2022, 17.0 late 2020 and 16.0 late 2017. That’s three major releases in seven years. React is stable, upg

To be fair the first major release was 15.0. So there has been there major revisions since then, not 17.

React was never intended to solve browser inconsistencies. Of course it developed hand-in-hand with the tools that solved those (transpilers, polyfills, bundlers), but that was not the main reason it was invented or became popular. The orig

If they already have your picture the agent will usually know who you are before you have even handed over your passport. The tech has gotten eerily good.

Sure - it's an easy mistake to make if you are dealing with data that don't mean anything to you. But anyone with even a tiny bit of experience reading macroeconomic data should be able to tell that something is very off with that

I’m not sure what makes you think I’m talking about browsers, because I’m not :) My point is just that the React ecosystem has become surprisingly stable. Of course if you are going to continuously rewrite things into the current flavour of

Google docs certainly haven't changed much the last 5-10 years. I wonder if that's an intentional choice, or if it is because those that built it and understand how it works are long gone to work on other things.

You are looking for the airport pair with the highest number of minimum hops required to get between them. Guam and Honolulu both have direct flights to Seoul so it’s not a great example.

I assume in most jurisdictions reasonable enforcement costs would just be added on top of the debt, so that’s not really a problem.
