I'd like someone to build a service and offer native apps for Windows, Mac and iPad, with the data stored on the cloud. Everything should work offline and on flaky networks, with zero latency. Sync should happen in the background.

Ha ha, no I've paid a variety of taxes: income, professional, capital gains... I've been an employee and now a startup founder. I also help others with taxes. The script does have a field for EMPLOYEE_TAX_DEDUCTION. It defaults to

Exactly what data is this dispute about? The article says "customer information captured on merchants’ online stores" but what exactly does that mean?

I did look at that and many other tax calculators, and some are so complex that people don't know what to put in. It's intimidating. I built this for my needs. If you want it to handle HRA, or LTA, or income 1 crore and above, etc

Is there an ad network that doesn't use JS? You make a call to the ad network server, it returns an image, you display it in a native UIImageView (not a web view), and if the user taps it, you open a URL in a web view. Unless the user

I agree. Resolution is 1% of what makes a TV serial. 99% is storytelling, the setting, character, drama, emotion, and so on.

Cropping a video to match another, and adjusting the color balance to match, seems simple enough, compared to asking a computer to do it without a reference. In other words, "make X look like Y" as compared to "make X look go

Good point. The comments at the top of the file say what's handled and what's not, and HRA is not. About basic, yes, that's a pain.

Thanks. I understand that the numbers require profiling to determine, but I wish there was at least a high-level guide like: Do you want to optimise pause times? Use X. Optimise throughput without regard to pause times? Use Y. Optimise memo

Thanks for your feedback and suggestions. Since this is my side project, I can't spend too much time on it. Can you send me a pull request? Actually, separating out the things should be modified from things that shouldn't would be

You can change the 50% to the 8% by editing that parameter in the code. According to my CA, individuals might be eligible for both depending on what they do. It's not just for businesses. If you're providing a service, like a free

Sorry for that. As the other comments point out, it's used inconsistently. The way I've used it here is to include the employer's contribution to pension and provident fund (retirement savings), not just the employee contribu

I built this command-line tax calculator as a side project. This script determines: - When you're made an offer for a given CTC, how much will you take home every month? - If you want a certain amount of take-home pay every month, what

Is there a guide to the various GC algorithms? Suppose I'm running an app where pause times don't matter, and I want throughout or reduced memory usage. How much more of this will I get by switching to another GC algorithm? 2%? 20

AR seems to be a new medium, and new media are generally broadly used. Video, for example, is not owned by Youtube: there's vimeo, dailymotion, hotstar/netflix/amazon prime video/itunes video, the porn sites, videos on v

Good question. First, I'd look at setting up automation and boundaries. If I'm launching a new service and it's insecure, hackers shouldn't have free reign in the datacenter, say to send RPCs to any other service they wa

Is it a cost vs convenience tradeoff? I'd rather travel point to point, but if the A380 is undercuts that because it's more cost-effective, many people would put up with it to save money.

I wasn't criticising you, just asking the more general question here of why clicking the close button doesn't work reliably.
