The full criminal complaint is quite the read: https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-release/file/1440946/downl... I'm still reading, but it looks like the key point in gaining Toebbe's trust to do

Yeah, you're totally right. Updated the post.

You are right, I missed that. This does mean there's an impact on folks making above the Roth income limit but below $400k. Updated the post, thanks

I'd recommend reading the proposed provisions themselves directly from the Ways & Means Committee instead of the main article urging action: https://www.advantaira.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/

I think it really depends on the type of work and people involved whether east/west can work well. We're working with some contractors with a 9 hour time difference between headquarters and their office, but having really efficien

I think a regular national ID was attempted under the Obama administration but failed due to pushback, if I'm remembering correctly. The closest we got was Real ID, passed in 2005, which is barely being implemented fully now, over 15 y

I wonder if they were giving their full official seal? I suppose if you're signing a ton of documents, handing that over might be needed. It would be interesting if there were a system to register certain seals with only some permissio

It sounds like vaccinated US travelers would be exempt from a restriction. It'll also probably vary by EU member state, as it does today. I wonder if this will incentivize people to get vaccinated or even make vaccinated people feel sa

How common is it for European companies to hire developers living in other EU countries to work remotely or for a local office? I'm not planning on leaving my current company or country soon, but Spain seems like a nice backup plan sho

One interesting tidbit toward the end is that the author thinks building this ship is feasible within 200 years of the writing, with a cost estimate of $10^11 in 1968 dollars, assuming a 4% GNP growth rate. I haven't calculated what $1

Can someone more familiar with the virology comment on the meaning of this statistic? I keep hearing it, but I don't really know how to interpret it. Delta's obviously more infections than the original strain, but could one simply

This is really disappointing to see. I have fond memories of starting to work for them back in 2013, which for a lot of folks I've talked to was peak Rackspace. The "Castle," a mall they bought in San Antonio and converted to

I am so excited for this to become available to more people. Especially during the pandemic, a lot of people realized how crucial fast internet is to modern life. One relative didn't have internet the entire time - would have cost thou

I understand this is necessary for a lot of buyers, but if you are able to afford more of a down payment, it can be more prudent financially. Besides avoiding PMI, you're less likely to be underwater on the loan. If you only have 5% eq

I think it is still worthwhile, especially if you have an interest in privacy. In an apartment, a landlord is generally allowed to have reasonable access to the premises, can choose whoever they want to do the repairs, etc. They generally c

I'm a fan of IPAs, but the calories and alcohol content make them something that I don't like to indulge in regularly. I've found that Athletic Brewing's IPA has a great taste, is super refreshing, and only 70 calories.

This seems accurate. We barely drove our car in 2020, didn't go for an oil change for basically an entire year. After some basic maintenance after we got vaccinated, it's running as well as ever. I think another thing impacting th
