Re: records it depends on the state DOJ. California will have a separate line item for each arrest, booking, arraignment, and release. I believe they also keep “administrative records” for each stop, but you dont get to see those when you

Its not just that it can be cached, but that it can use very standard existing infrastructure like HTTP CDNs, mobile browsers, etc. The limitation is that the audio/video is encoded as segments, each a few seconds long. Because of this

Not quite. Cloudwatch provides for both behaviors. You can treat periods with no datapoints as “breaching” the threshold criteria. You can also independently alert for “insufficient data” where the source is unavailable, doesnt contain enou

Fair enough. There is a meaningful difference in taxes based on payroll vs the individuals net income. And that's not exactly germane to this article or thread. I should have been even more explicit in saying this is a payroll expense

Sure. And maybe Im fixating on the meaning of "paid" next to the use of "salary." But I dont think the individuals existing assets or capital gains really have anything to do with the common misunderstanding of how equit

Yes, that is the general objection to taxes that are directly aligned to workers. "Taxing jobs" leads to those jobs going to other jurisdictions (like Redmond or Bellevue) where possible. I think they're hedging against this

I have no idea what you're responding to. As Ive stated this is a PAYROLL tax, NOT a personal income tax, so I dont know where a W-2 would come in to it. A payroll tax, like B&O taxes, are paid directly by the business. This is

Its not an income tax, its introduced as a business tax on payroll. This is important as the WA state constitution prohibits non uniform taxation. This is what has preempted most of the previous passion based “tax the rich” schemes in Seatt

I suspect they called out block storage as that's normally what you'd use for reasonable performance from a DB engine. As in that'd be the next step 'down the stack', not what was released today.
