With revenue of course, how else would I be able to pay the salaries and bills? But I'm not going to move to a country if I know that every quarterly dividend would leave me with 25-50% less money on my bank account.

Not a tax advice, but AFAIK, if you had to pay $1000 to US IRS, and already paid $800 to another country, then you owe US $200. The country must have a tax treaty with US, so they exchange the info about your taxes in background. But many c

No, I'm not rich, I'm just an entrepreneur, so most of my income is from capital gains. And most (almost all) of my expenses is paying salaries and vendors.

Yep, and similar thing went in Philippines. The craziest part is that public in general sided with doctors, and against their president on that issue. Even though public would certainly benefit from having more doctors.

Well, I can accept that Musk didn't know about criminal stuff and just thought it's like a Burning Man and had a big FOMO. Even though I cannot stand buffone Musk, it looks like it to me. Thiel and especially Trump though are very

Differently though, AFAIR PostgreSQL does most of the schema changes transactionally, but not MySQL.

Far from it. Concept of "country" or a "state" are way less artificial. Up until 1924 USA welcomed almost anyone with any background. Many countries don't care about it today. Australia was populated with literal cr

Xenophobia, of course. I just point out that to me "overstaying visa" is such a completely artificial concept, with arbitrary timelines, and is not explainable by any rational considerations of the state. Otherwise they'd neg

The main job of a judicial system is to appear just to people. As long as people think it's just -- everyone is happy. But if it's strictly by the law, but people consider it's unjust -- revolutions happen. In both cases, l

All you need to pay taxes is an SSN. One can get an SSN in many ways, e.g. long ago on another visa. Same as income to pay on -- can be earned in many ways.

Only because we made the "overstaying" an illegal offense. But there's no reason to -- if the guy was paying taxes the whole time, and never committed a serious crime, then we should be happy to welcome such guys, ramping up

Makes sense, thanks. Waiting for a real-world prediction that was hard to calculate before, but ruliology could make it easier.

A lot of words and excitement, reminding me of the String Theory -- is very generic, able to explain anything (and be quickly adapted to any new stuff it was failing at before), but that makes it useless -- a useful theory should predict so

My point is that they would have gotten much farther. I'm not talking about architecture astronautics, just a little more thinking-ahead.

I worked with some of the folks from there, and honestly you make it sounds like tech debt is inevitable consequence haunting projects from year one. I disagree, I think the folks just did a sloppy job of "let's bungee strap it al

Amount of "I" and "me" is astonishing. Didn't find anything on falsifiable criteria -- any new theory should be able, at least in theory, to be tested for being not true.

That's why I like Maven -- it's declarative and HARD to make non-trivial things. But it's super-easy to write your own module (using code) and make Maven call it. Also, another point about build scripts and CI/CD -- you

I certainly got a new plastic ID card within 2 weeks after filing the change-of-address form on DMV website, with a new address on it. They sent it to the new address. But mine was not RealID compliant (nor before nor after).
