Or maybe he just believes the things he testified to. Would be parsimonious.

Practically speaking its because there is no asset, unlike other CapEx. The law specifically does not permit this. You just can't deduct the expenditure except as over 60 months (and only 6 months in the first year)

US treatment under the old rule was constant from the 1950's. I don't know about other countries. I haven't found anything credible on 'why' this was added, but...I'd hazard a cynical guess that it was put in a

(1) Capitalization is for tangible assets with a useful life and some liquid value. You can't meaningfully monetize the R&E of every engineer. (2) If you analysis held at all you could pull forward the deprecation if you abandon t

This is about way more than software. Bear in mind that the way it is written all research and experimentation costs would be amortized. So if you have a chemist, biologist, physicist or even an engineer it plausibly is the case that if y

This is just more lazy argumentation to avoid having to engage with the substance of the debate. I keep finding the 'doomer' argument made logically and the counter arguments to be hand-waving ("there is obviously no risk!&qu

There is nothing in here actionable to anyone. Reuters says they conducted an 'exhaustive review' which amounts to: - In a government adverse event database there are 256 reports of suicidal thoughts or actions among people who to

Are you in favor of seat belt and airbag requirements? No. The presence of these features is easy to document, and the harms are limited to the person making the $/risk tradeoff. What about the bans on asbestos and lead pa

I think this is a bad idea which will lead to fewer and more expensive devices. I do not want the FCC regulating this. It is much more reasonable to have the market impose some discipline on manufacturers and their level of support. Plenty

Good luck with your venture. Not sure why no one mentions OFX when doing these comparisons. Their rates are good and I don't recall pay any fees on top of them. When I looked into this year ago seemed much cheaper than Wise.

There is no pricing or availability info in the article or the company's website. Pretty lame. Is this a real product or not? These days its hard to know if the video is even real or AI generated.

Grover's algorithm seems quite useful, though I'd guess it requires an enormous number of qubits (large unordered database) to be useful.

Thanks for posting this but, his article doesn't make a lot of sense to me. If he could show the property owner was having equal similar difficulties in other cities his point would be stronger. As it is, It isn't even clear what
