I don't think people who start conversations like that are able to effectively gauge other human's reactions, they're kinda inter-related lol.

That’s just one facet, I don’t think that’s the only reason to keep it around. I think it’s irresponsible economics to encourage an economic behavior and then to uproot it abruptly. I think the knock on effects on the housing market and ren

You don’t have to live in a top 10 real estate market because losing the SALT deduction neuters the mortgage interest deduction.

No this will apply to the 2018 tax year so 2017 is going to be under the existing tax structure. Thank god, because otherwise mass craziness would have broken out from people setting up withholdings under a false tax structure. I agree with

you are, but the removal of the state & local income tax deduction means only a small % of people will ever claim mortgage deductions compared to today. You’d need over 24K in mortgage interest + property taxes.

It’s fine to say that people shouldn’t plan around tax situations, but that tax break has been thought to be untouchable for a long time now. I’m a millennial who bought last year so for me, this doesn’t sound very fair. Boomers got to take

Pass through and corporate rates are going to drop dramatically. Independent contractors can set up their income as business profit and pay much smaller amount of taxes at higher levels of income.

The US has a first time homebuyer withdrawl carve-out (which I think is defined as someone who hasn’t bought a house in 8 years?). There are also hardship exemptions. Technically you can withdrawl for any reason but you pay taxes + a 10% pe

If you haven’t been able to see the tangible ways that one party is way more beholden to monied interests by this point, I don’t know what it will take. Some people just want to watch the word burn.

That’s really not true, there was a bipartisan push to pull this power away from the FCC specifically because members of both parties saw net neutrality becoming a political football. And that the regulatory uncertainty of back-and-forth, r

A lot of commenters have keyed into the product heartbeat line. Shipping updates is one common signals of a healthy product but it’s not the only one. If your product has non-user-facing changes, you should try to make noise about what othe

I was pretty convinced that microtransactions were going to become super ubiquitous and solve a lot of monetization problems. Particularly in terms of press / media. I think you could make arguments that this still might be true in a

Yeah those are good items too. The compact view from elsewhere in this thread was a huge step up. I still feel like the "weight" of the icons is heavy compared to chrome / safari / photos / finder / etc, and

This is so close to great but can a mac snob ask how to get a more consistent UI experience out of firefox? I'm totally happy with how everything behaves inside the web panel but: 1. At a minimum I'd be happy with a toolbar

The reason is to balance rate decreases at the top percentile, to decrease the corporate tax rate, and to finance lost revenues from dropping the estate tax. The rest of the reasons people state are needlessly obtuse or purposefully decepti

Yeah, thats just the point guys, the middle & middle upper classes lose their deductions and the rich lose the estate tax, it all comes out for the little guy right? Wake up.

7% on hosting revenue sounds like a great accomplishment but what's relatively a good ratio to look at?

I agree but given that the technology is the product here, they’re in a bit of a different situation. Evaluating the technology is evaluating the product here.

What’s even more worse is people being defrauded of time and money by what amounts to at best an accidental scam. The stakes are high enough that there is arguably an appropriate level of rigor in certification

LG also was also sourced for the first gen retina macbooks due to capacity issues with Samsung. So this story repeats over the long haul where Apple has to go to lg for a seriously inferior product. Would be fantastic to see them correct t

I think this possibly understates what people are paying for. They’re paying for fully packaged solutions. You’re paying one price in the hardware that’s accounting for the good software. Apples not selling iPhones as a stalking horse for t
