How do these companies address tax reporting requirements?

We already have what you describe, it's called Income Driven Repayment. Your monthly payment is set to a certain percentage of your income, and after 20-25 years, any remaining balance is forgiven. The only difference being that forgiv

I'm in the same boat. I really don't have an issue with paying for content, but I want to have full control over my media files and build a big library, and there is absolutely no way I could afford to pay for every piece of media

The same reason we learn any other subject -- to demystify it, and give people a basic understanding of it, so that others are less able to take advantage of your lack-of-knowledge to control you. Yes, being exposed to a variety of fields i

The fact that I haven't heard more about this Heroku breach makes me think that maybe fewer startups than I thought are actually using it. I'm at a startup that's been on Heroku since its inception and this breach has got my

While I don't think you are completely wrong, as a New Yorker I have to say that you'll find the same conversation going on here, except about the subway. Commuting just sucks in general.

I'm white, male, straight, neurotypical -- and I vastly prefer remote work and do not plan to go back into the office. So, how does that fit into your narrative? There are plenty of more substantive reasons to not want to go back beyon

I'm at a small startup (about 8 engineers) and for the most part Heroku has been a great solution for a team of our size. However, the recent github incident was a major PITA for us, and has us seriously considering leaving the platfor

But what if someone is not pirating instead of purchasing, they're just pirating instead of doing something else? You need to consider that maybe the product you are producing is simply not that valuable. I'm an artist myself. If

But what if I don't like Hollywood movies, consider them cheap crap, and don't care if more of them get made? I just want to watch them to see what everyone else is talking about.

Fair enough, but still, depriving you of potential earnings is not the same as stealing. If I can't buy something for a price that's worth it to me, I will just watch something else. It doesn't mean I'm going to pay more
404.
by dml2135 5y ago
That's fair enough and I did not know that, and will certainly take into account when making future purchasing decisions, thank you. But the bottom line is, it's just not worth paying for digital content for me, merely by knowing

It's not though. You could argue it is indirectly stolen from you by impacting your potential for future earnings, but please explain how the "direct" part of your statement works. Are funds withdrawn from your bank account w

But... you don't own the copyright to the movie. The studio does. You were paid a wage for a job. You can accuse the pirates of limiting your potential for future earnings, but that is not the same as stealing from you.

There are many lifetimes of content out there already. What if I'm fine with there being no money for future shows? I really fail to see how a world without high-budget Marvel films will be so bad. I'd be fine watching old movies

You don't take it, you make a new, identical copy of it, leaving any previously existing copy intact.

If you steal a physical object, you deprive someone else of having it. Nothing of the sort happens when you copy a media file.

> Every time one a show is pirated, there is less incentive to spend more money on an entertainment spectacle. I'm fine with this. Some of the best movies ever were made in the 70s, after the Hollywood studio system collapsed and a

This is helpful and confirms my suspicions. One question to clarify your setup -- So the 4k monitor is connected directly to your mac with a thunderbolt cable, one of the QHD monitors is connected directly to your mac through HDMI, and the

Does anyone know if it's possible to drive three HD/QHD monitors via a single thunderbolt port on an M1 Mac, and if any docks exist that would support this use case? Many of these docks and Apple support documents say they support

Not commenting on the specifics of this case because the article is paywalled, but if one suffers an injury that will result in a lifetime of medical expenses / disability, it could absolutely make sense to sue for a lifetime of salary

When you're paying the absolutely astronomical cost for an Ivy League institution, I think you're entitled to competent instruction.

I went to Columbia and hands down the worst class I took there was Calc I. The professor (might have been a grad student) was just absolutely incapable of explaining concepts in plain English rather than mathematical proofs. Luckily I had a
