that's a long explanation on how to use various features of a notation. would it be easier to just use json? You have many moving pieces with a complex notation, a complex domain, and potentially multiple architects..

You could say the same about JSON. It is arguably closer to how and AST is represented in software as it does not posses the two dimensional notation like XML does. The unique thing about XML is that you can both have children and attribute

In the end this is more a question of who should decide what people do. Money only has value when they are spend. If you lock money up in an account and never use it, it is practically taken out of the economy. Do, do we let governments c

While i tend to agree, we usually have a feeling about differences in talent and productivity. Both in research and engineering. So it is not that bad performance intrinsically does not exists.

In the US some phone companies have been using voice recognition to authenticate when their customers call. This will definitely have to see its end.

Because it would be extremely easy to produce it cheaper or record it independently. This opens up for non-signed authors to release audio books.

it has been common place to mention it if the developers or entrepreneurs are exceptionally young. eg. an app made by a 15 year old. There is a case that this is actually more impressive than for a young person to be able to do this. it is

This is definitely something that makes tooling harder. But I think it is because tooling is though up wrongly. Consider `SELECT 0 AS some_num`. This does not have a FROM clause. While this example seems contrived, there are several example

On the contrary: My initial statement had nothing to do with price negotiation. All I was trying to assert was how the tax implications are when you do something yourself vs. when you subcontract. Do it yourself: Miss out on that hours wort

by madsbuch 3y ago
The person you contract also pays income tax on the amount. So you need to doubly add the tax. Then you also need to add some cost of doing business. Said in another way: The 100SEK you earn becomes 25SEK the contract can use (assuming 50

No, but you pay an average of 40% income tax, 25% VAT, 150% on cars (+ 25% VAT) and the European gasoline tax. The result is that the tax system disincentivizes these types of transactions when you can not deduct the costs in your personal

It is quite interesting to calculate the true cost of doing things itself. In Denmark the tax system is such that if you subcontract out of personal money they need to be 5 times fast than you. If we say that you can make your deck in half

This is really interesting! My immediate thought is: "If we don't cannibalise their current portfolio, somebody else will" and use that as the argument to carry on on good ideas. Why do you think that has not been the natural
