It’s more complicated than that. A donation to a streamer is much more like a “tip” than a gift, and tips are clearly taxable despite not having any obligations associated with them.

I do work at Google: I’m not trying to dismiss the concerns and I understand that deprecations are a legitimate concern and carry a significant business cost. It sucks that you got burned a few years ago, and I totally get the why you lost

I understand the problem you’re talking about, but the way you said “available evidence” made me think you had something more data-oriented than Steve Yegge’s blog post and HN comments.

I believe that the "work with a company" guidance is for a dispute (e.g. you ordered something, but didn't get it or are otherwise unhappy) -- not an outright unauthorized purchase by someone other than the card holder. I don

The parent is saying that the monthly taxes and other costs are greater than the interest on the mortgage. So the idea that you've "paid off" your house provides a false sense of security: it will continue to have significant

Brands often have a “store” on Amazon, which is a dedicated landing page. You’re likely the victim of confusion between that and “The Apple Store (tm)”.

No, it must be sign-extended from the top bit of the valid set. Otherwise the address is non-canonical.

Speak for yourself. I bought it immediately. I want a full featured phone that isn’t massive, and easily fits in smaller pockets. The SE was my previous favorite phone. I suppose there aren’t many of us that prefer smaller phones, but we’re

I’m not commenting on the practice generally, but the second quoted paragraph really makes it seem much broader than it may be. Later in the article, they show the geofence - which is literally the AutoZone walls plus 50 feet to the north a

Unquestionably . People are buying GME because they think it’s hurting hedge fund bros; that doesn’t mean that it is. I would be deeply surprised if retail investors were not left holding a larger proverbial bag than Wall Street as a who

Even if S3’s data is correct, I don’t believe it tells you anything about exactly what those positions are. The volume has been so high that AFAIK, many of the original shorts could have closed out and re-sold short into the $300+ insanity

Seems like it’s a few hundred million. IMHO Canada has no better example of idiotic spending than eHealth in Ontario. Literally 1 billion spent, and nothing to show for it. (Though they now have something, after effectively restarting.)

His first answer was reasonably polished and okay. Then it all goes to shit. I guess he didn’t expect the third degree?

Gains from a hypothetical buy and subsequent sell that never happens? That’s way too big a stretch, and makes no sense.

The industry seems to have adopted “hermetic” as a word that describes truly reproducible builds, while “reproducible” has a lower standard. In many cases, it seems to be used to mean “not dependent on local build environment”.

It’s not obvious to me. I have a fantasy that people will return to thoughtful, long-form blogging and stop trying to impale each other on witty 280 character tweets.

The argument is simple. It has nothing to do with urban/rural. The United States is a federation of separate legal jurisdictions (states). The House of Representatives has seats aligned with “one person, one vote” and the Senate is ali

The popular vote is still ~50% in terms of party split — are you questioning the accuracy or precision of the parent’s 50% figure? Edit: I wish people downvoting this question would explain. I literally don’t understand and am asking fo

Yes, this seems to be the most spiteful possible interpretation (especially before the new rules). It seems easier and more sensible just to enforce the rules at renewal.
