1099 contractors handle all their own taxes iirc, but I guess you can’t be anonymous and receive a 1099? Guessing most of these actually pay in cryptocurrencies which puts the onus on the individual I guess, but if the individual is not pay

Your point seems a little orthogonal. If I pay tax on X value in year 1, value goes up and now I pay X*1.1 in year 2, then back to X in year 3 because the home value lowers again, I don’t get a refund for the extra 10% paid in year 2 despit

And there is a big difference between a hereditary aristocracy and a government of people who are just interested in enriching themselves.

imho this is really negative. Early in my career I would have been self-browbeaten into answering such an interview question disguised as “fun” lunch conversation, but I would have hated it and thought badly of your company. Power dynamic,

In what seems like a lucky break, I also have a Karoo, used these same features, and moved from di2 to campagnolo electric last summer.

I ended up getting so tired of the CYBERTRUCK wait that I cancelled my deposit and ordered a Rivian. No doubt even though the wait is still long for me, I see them on the road regularly now and strongly suspect I’ll have one in hand long be

It’s well written and interesting, no issues at all imo. Thanks for calling it out; no problem with that. Some people conflate working for a competing tech with bias, and while there could be some, the important thing is to mitigate. As a c

I am not a real-time systems engineer and know very little about the tech, but do know a lot about network engineering. I was honestly kind of disappointed by this article because it seemed like the network and latency side of things was ju

I am not someone who spends much time on YouTube at all, perhaps a few hours a year. But after looking at that channel it just seems to be some line drawn images with a poem read in the background. If it’s not autogenerated content, I bet i

A paycheck, meaningful work that aligns with your values or goals in life, getting experience in a more mature org before jumping to a startup, job stability of a large company, interesting work, off the top of my head.

I don’t have a dog in the fight, but I would think any real db would be a disqualified in the spirit of flat files. But, SQLite honestly seems like the best of both worlds to me.

I’ve been using the WHOOP tracker for the last few months. Initially did some work to determine what my baseline was, but every morning you answer a journal (it’s most differentiating feature, imo) where you add things like alcohol, caffein

Yes, that’s what I meant, I should have been more clear.

This won’t happen. I’m a reasonable person and happy to change my mind with evidence, and don’t say this lightly, but the republicans do not give a crud about any of this. They are the most conniving and soulless individuals that exist. Thi

Maybe, or maybe they're one of those that use protests as a scapegoat for everything from the Apple store being closed to new instances of coronavirus. You just can't tell, so it's not worth engaging.

My regular airpods, which are now three years old, are tanks. I use them now exclusively for running/exercising and they won't die. My new ones are better for the sound isolation/listening to music, but they rattle now and do

Wow! I thought I had broken mine or something. My left one rattles constantly as I'm walking, unless I tiptoe.

Putting aside the question of what makes a "tecnicality," the fact that technicalities are able to be put forth and argued until a decisionmaker makes a ruling, rather than having a party decide unilaterally how to resolve the tec

This is right. Here's an example of one of the best known SCOTUS clinics, for more specificity: https://law.stanford.edu/supreme-court-litigation-clinic/

Not necessarily the case. There are lit fees of course, and filing fees, discovery, etc. But once you get to the SCOTUS stage, assuming you're not retaining Gibson Dunn or Covington or someone's supreme court practice, there are m

Same, very interested. Cool intro to NLP, but those are easy to come by. Some implementation details and perhaps some code to reproduce would be amazing.

No. Assuming we're talking pretty usual traffic tickets and not talking about driving in a grossly negligent way, no one should _ever_ go to jail for traffic tickets. Largely this logic should apply to any malum prohibitum crime. There

I saw the onion article and ordered 5lbs of Vidalia onions from vidaliaonions.com on a lark because I had never had one. Never again, maybe I just don't have a taste for them, but loved the site and was very happy with the service and

I live in Seattle, went over yesterday with no preconceived notions of what must be there. I had seen some posts that it was pretty lawless, but really took them with a grain of salt. Nothing I had heard about it was true. I didn't see

Does this mean savitech needs to hypothetically set up some mitm attack somewhere and wait for you to send traffic, then they can decrypt and read, or does it mean that they can do that direct from your computer by virtue of that root certi

Can someone explain root certificates to me and why this is an issue? I know they sign certificates with a private key at a high level, but don't get the implications of that generally.
