Ok, but the context of the article (which I quoted) is multi player games with a single player mode . Of course single player games don’t need and often don’t have a server, so whether or not they make up a large part of the market is irre

I worry that they just stop completely shipong single-player mode as that seems easiest.

I don’t understand your comments about “fairness” in the context of UBI. Doesn’t everyone get the benefit whether they work or don’t? Otherwise that wouldn’t be “universal”, would it?

Interesting. I think there’s definitely a “meta-game” that negotiation requires you to prepare in advance if you want success. For example, knowing if the job opening is in a “cost center” or “revenue center” for the company, or how the job

The explanation for COBOL is not an engineering one, but an economics one: “It’s cheaper to train a programmer to use COBOL than it is to rewrite the codebase in <language>.” (Perhaps LLMs might change the economics here.)

You seem extremely confused. Section 174 specifically made those R&D costs “ignorable” from a tax standpoint. When it ended R&D costs could no longer be used to offset income.

Thanks for clarifying. This will of course discourage “riskier” startups and dampen innovation and give more power to profitable incumbents who will have less incentive to innovate. (Perhaps the result of this looks like Europe?)

Are you asserting that software and other labor-heavy startups should raise additional private capital so that they can pay taxes before they’ve established themselves in the marketplace? I’m not sure what you mean to say exactly.
