I'm not sure how the funding formula works exactly, but it seems like the problem is far from fixed. You can look at any public school in a wealthy suburb and it will have lavish amenities and everything a student could want or need. W

Except we aren't just trusting the pharma companies. In the case of COVID vaccines, it is one of the most broadly studied things on the planet at this point. If we had this much money and this many eyes on studying and testing Zantac,

Everytime I see an elaborate "funny" error page, I always thing that I wish they had put that extra effort into a more specific error or not having an error in the first place. But I realize that is not an entirely fair criticism.

There is a lot of stiff (and free) competition when it comes to podcast players. I'm pretty happy with the now open source Pocket Casts. Previously I used the paid Dogg Catcher. I can't imagine what features would need to exist fo

That article is mostly about business income or investment income like sale of real estate in California. It does not apply to people living outside of California and earning wages from California based companies. Imagine all the Tesla empl

No, I don't think inheritance tax factors in here that much. Wash sale rules don't really apply when using the step up basis loophole.

And you probably save a negligible amount overall for your trouble.

No way of knowing, but it was released to select, friendly journalists and it has taken other people reading between the lines to find the most important stuff. Like demands from the Whitehouse to remove tweets that disparaged the president

Yes, and not to mention all the notifications for all these different communication apps that people were using more and more and all the new remote work tool startups that use telephone, texting, and other notification services that Twilio

Its the selective release of the Twitter files given only to select, pre-approved opinion/culture war journalists that concerns me.

I would wager it would affect middle class significantly less as a percentage of their total net worth than the wealthy. Considering that most middle class wealth is in their primary residence and not the stock market. I'm sure closing

Only technically. The overhead to manage this rarely works out for the less than wealthy. Not to mention most non-wealthy people make most of their income as earned income.

Nope.. It IS a free money hack for the wealthy. The stepped up basis happens the day of your death. So when the estate sells assets to cover the liabilities, the profit of the sale will be calculated by subtracting the new stepped up basis

The problem with those super high rates now is that the super wealthy will just move overseas and renounce their citizenship. So you have to get other countries on board, the super wealthy are far too mobile.

Yes, but if you have a $100m tax bill, you would need to donate more than that to offset the taxes. Assuming a 33% tax rate, you would need to put $300m into a foundation to zero out $100m in taxes.

I cannot understand how. Do they have some big deals with some vendors to be the default on cheap laptops or something? Otherwise, who is using yahoo search?

Exactly. Where I grew up, you had to either burn or bury your garbage in your back yard or haul it to a collection point every week. No one wants to put leaky trash bags in the back of their Civic.

I just checked and if I needed to get a sheet of plywood from Home Depot, it would be about $50 for a pickup truck from U-Haul but at least around here, you can't usually leave your car at the rental place, so I would need to enlist so

You certainly don't sacrifice ride quality with most modern pickup trucks. They are usually built on the same chassis and suspensions that the manufacturers use for their luxury SUVs. And most pickups seat the same number of people tha

Ya, but if you don't get fake internet points or any responses/comments on your work, what will be the incentive.

Ya, the problem sometimes with the free market is that the general public is far more willing than me to just keep suffering. Case in point would be coach seating on most airlines. If people would just raise their standards a little bit and

Contractors are taxed at a higher rate, or really, the same rate, but in an employee situation, the employer must pay half of the tax. However, depending on what you do, people can end up paying less in taxes overall as a contractor because

It might be a better idea for high income people. But it is often used to take advantage of regular employees. It is a poor reflection of our tax system that running your own entity that you then pay yourself out of can have lower taxes tha

The state of California can only tax you for the time you lived in California. Now, they may well throw a fit and try to claim you don't live out of state and use your employer information to substantiate it. But legally, they would no

Surely they are just trying to gradually switch everything to Teams. Seems weird to use a slack clone for video chat only but continue to use slack for the chat.

Doesn't seem like too much of a stretch from where they are right now, which is showing ads at the top of search results formatted to look just like search results. They do have a small sponsored tag, but nothing stops them from doing

Potentially good for users initially. But I can't see how anyone will be incentivized to create and post content for Google to scrape if they won't have any traffic from Google. It could actually be a huge benefit in some ways if
