Capital gains do depend on participants of the market and economy in general. But each and every one of them has already been taxed. I simply stating the obvious that money should be taxed exactly once, not so many times.

I'm a car person but 20/30 mins of walk to get some coffee with my dogs sounds very pleasant (iff the pedestrian crossings are safer as the article proposed) Just because the majority are fat doesn't mean it's healthy

I have a theory that at least some of them might be taking advantage of an (un)official website/forum that allows for free sharing/hosting of wsz files, which of course are just zips

I agree. To be blunt, ass-kissing is a soft skill. Whether you choose to deploy that skill really depends on what you're looking for (eg big name companies, high TC, remote work, etc.) And end of the day, interviews are also a chance f

From personal experience the coding round gets easier for senior/staff roles, even for the exact same question, because of the experience the interviewers have and the signal they are looking for (eg problem solving, communication, tes

Not agreeing with the (somewhat amusing) limited heartbeats theory, but even under that theory, cardio is beneficial since it lowers your resting heart rate. e.g. my HR is 50 thanks to running an hour a day, my HR during those runs are betw

As a thought exercise I would argue 2A protects the right of a Chinese national owning nuclear weapons legally in the US.

Exactly. Many staff/principal ICs I work with are genuinely happy and passionate about their work, they literally do it for fun having achieved financial independence.

No one is allowing or disallowing specific groups of people, the market decides. Is Ferrari "not allow specific groups of people" (I am in that group) to buy their cars by not pricing them the same as a Honda?

If they don't like it, they can move. It is funny how people criticize the US "colonialism" yet feel entitled that they should be able to move into any neighborhood and drive out current inhabitants.

As another commenter mentioned you may or may not consider my experience as selection bias. So with that out of the way: - all H1B friends I know obviously are from work; I used to work at one of the FAANGs - these friends are in late 20s a

IMO immigration would focus on merits AND integration more than length of residency. In the past by physically traveling and being in another country is a testament of the financial means and the willingness to adopt the new culture. Nowada
