Employers can reimburse employees for home office costs provided they meet the existing definitions of home office and proper, regular accounting is done. That money is not considered taxable income to the employee. However, an upfront flat

Depending on the situation, commuting expense could be small or quite large (ie, commuting to nyc from suburbs). More difficult to quantify may be the increased energy use by home employee (so much for programmable thermostats), perhaps los

Unless IBM plans to float some new shares (highly unlikely) they have no reason to care about what ETFs or indicies they are in. If anything, cutting the dividend and reinvesting it into research/capex and paying down debt will go a l

The previous CEO did a horrible job. The workforce morale, not good for quite some time, fell further. Rather than try to leverage the deep and unqiue assets/IP of IBM, she sold off many, then made a poor attempt to chase the same typ

It does make you wonder if this whole time the Intercept has just been a spook front to manage the revelations known to be coming from 'unfriendly' media. This is all confusing and none of it any good.

Which is why IOS should default to sending JPG or PNG to/between any non-bespoke Apple product until such a time that HEIC is universally common. That should be transparent to both the end-user as well as the receiving end. One can mo

This was brought up during the daily Cuomo yesterday. The media have not fully explained the new reporting (am I cynical if I say so they get better clicks?) CDC mandated that all localities, not just NYC/NYS, count probable deaths in

The unfortunate thing is the display is only 4 bit. At 16 bit I could see using it to display b&w prints. The dpi is a little low but is ok for viewing at distances greater than about 6 feet.

Remarkable has a premium for the ability to write on the display with tactile feel and response time near identical to ordinary pen/pencil.

Google also has reduced its memory by a great extent. Searches run many years ago which turned up results from the early 90s on return nothing now.

Even a home for which the mortgage is paid must still pay property taxes, order 1.5% give or take. There are maintenance costs as well, assuming they wish the home to not decay.

The flip side of that is over counting. I have read (but do not have source handy) that Italy may be over stating the death toll by lumping any death of a covid positive patient into 'covid deaths'. So if you die of a heart attac

I have a 295 page book in production. The print cost for paper bound is $5.46 for case laminate $10.02. Contrary to what you may think, print costs are not going to limit $0. Quite the other way, they have risen over the past seven years

Feynman lectures are fine as a supplement to more standard text.

The most difficult thing will be getting your math up to speed so you really need to dual track the physics and math. The Landau books are good but assume probably more math than typical college text in mechanics, em, qm, etc. Probably a bi

While I am not a huge ePub reader, I have not had the tablet crash while reading them. Agreed on the first time delay. Lack of backlight not a big deal for me; rather use a room light if necessary.

You won't find a high end reader (other than Sony?) that is in this size which is quite useful for those reading scientific papers, a bit blind, or who want to use it for sketch/art. It is only slightly larger than a typical hard

Also wonder about security of the pen if used with the book folio. Exactly how strong is that magnetic attachment?

The speed improvements are impressive. Wonder though if there is any physical change in the display? It seems to be identical, was hoping they could bring something with a whiter background.

Everything I have read is that young people are at the lowest risk, if at all, of even getting COVID-19. Why not leave them in place and let the professors (over a certain age) teach remotely? Hate to think about how anyone with a lab is go

FreeBSD has been using Clang as the default build system for x86/64 since.. 2012? Version 10.0 IIRC. Not sure about mips, sparc, power but think they moved previously as well?

I don't understand the attraction of Robinhood over the likes of TD or Etrade. TD minimum balance is $50 (the minimum transfer) and Etrade $500. Both are well vetted brokers with additional features and services. If you are investing

Back in the day...guess around 91 or 92... I was taking a full feed from UUNET using a Trailblazer modem. Clearly had to drop the binaries not long after but kept the rest until around 97 when a local ISP emerged that also had access to a

They could be more transparent by saying exactly which Firefox versions are affected, which is an accepted norm. Unfortunately, this is not the first time users have been left guessing.

This is a societal problem and not just employer/jobseeker. "Friends" and aquaintances do it now. Vendors/contractors/trades people do it. Only a matter of time before our pets ghost us too.

I've got an LG OLED and have had regular LG 'smart' sets before that. I turned off the LG IP channels and other similar settings. The only installed apps are for Amazon Prime, YoutubeTV and their web browser. I have it on
