Up until a couple years ago, I used to do my taxes myself. I would just open Excel and start doing one line at a time. The value that goes on the form was the left-most column, and cells to the right of that would be for additional values

The best response I've heard to this is: Tell me which part of the US you would willingly give up to Russia if it threatened to attack. If your response would be for them to pound sand, why should we expect or want any different for

This is why I call ChatGPT a mirror. And it's a really damn good mirror . But even the best mirror can only reflect that which already exists.

R+D is "research and development", not "research" and "development". It's specifically development of research into new products. Otherwise a carpenter could be seen as "developing" wood into c

Isn't welding just "developing" metal products? That's why you have to take into account that it's "research and development", and not "research" and "development". As in research and

The flipside is that that 5-year amortization continues even if you did fire everyone, right? Because the costs already happened. So if we consider forward from year 5 of your example, with everyone being fired at year 5: Old: Year 6: 1000

In "research and development", that typically means "research of new ideas and methods, and developing them into commercially viable products". So are there things that software engineers do that fall under R+D? Absolu

In addition to other replies, in hot and humid climates, you still want the A/C running for de-humidification purposes. So you set it high instead of turning it off completely.

I always wondered why "electric with an onboard generator" didn't take off as a subset of available vehicles. AFAIK, hybrids all work with complex gear boxes to allow the engine to directly power the wheels, while also charg

The Bitwarden client does this. The issue is that nothing prevents the attacker from taking the encrypted database and working with it directly, thereby bypassing that client protection.

I agree with runako. I suspect that you are going to have a hard time targeting areas where heat pumps are already common for cooling. I'm in Florida. We got our A/C replaced a few years ago. Got quotes from three companies wit

If you use domain-driven design, then microservices boundaries can be naturally drawn at domain boundaries and that will tend to work out pretty well. They should be as big as they need to be to support the domain. I've definitely see
