Not to retread on what you laid out but, why is java the one true choice for all of this projects code? If this project is just not that massive I’d say that it shouldn’t make much difference. But you’ve kinda specified a larger problem wh

Double taxation is extremely unlikely, and would likely have to be of the form of applying a tax to earnings in the Roth IRA or something like that. Which is how other investment-related income is taxed anyways so, I don’t know. Additional

There’s ways to convolute any of those scenarios, but let me just explain why I think there are notable differences: 1. Protected classes are defined by a history of prejudicial treatment and blocked access to essential services, and they e

Really? You think that you could make private individuals carry water for ideals that conflict with their own? And that people, far and wide, would just be openly accepting of this idea? I’ve heard “freedom of speech” defined as a natural

I feel like either amazon, or the market, is missing an opportunity when I read stuff like this. Amazon could be: 1. Gathering intelligence about the person making the claim from public sources (twitter, LinkedIn, blogs, etc.) 2. Mashing th

The flip side of this is if you're only spending $10-20 on a vps setup you're probably going to be nicely covered by the free tier on AWS. Either for at least a year or possibly for the eternity of your account.

I don't think it'd ever be better because you're always writing off the loss, the difference is the size of the loss. It's better to, e.g., get 10K back out of 100K investment and claim a 90K loss, versus getting back 0

If you're an investor, do you want to get some pennies back on the dollar, or do you want to get 0 pennies back on the dollar? If they liquidate they can take that cash and pay out something, at least to some class of investors.
