You can do anything you want business-wise under a single LLC, though the IRS wants you to identify the primary business category you're in, they really just want statistical info, it does not prevent you from doing other types of work

Certainly. I felt the way you describe my whole life until 2016. In 2013 I had a sleep study done. I had what's called central sleep apnea, an issue where the carbon dioxide 'sensor' in my brain stem wasn't functioning p

The problem frankly is with your assumption (presumption?) that government is meant to be efficient. I'm not being facetious. A democracy is not supposed to be 'efficient'. If all parties cannot agree, then something does

It's a trap if it's not for you, not what you want to do, not your interests. Whose business is it to solve millennium problems? Certainly not yours to decide for others. I think he does with his life what he chooses, and you do w

I'm typing this on my primary machine, a late 2012 MacBook Pro. That's 8 years of full daily use, travel, downloads, compiling, running Docker, etc. And I really do mean every single day, morning onwards. Not saying all MacBooks w

I have similar issues with a late 2012 MBP when playing music to Bose headphones, sometimes airpods, and external speakers. I thought it was interference from other bluetooth devices. Trying out your recommendation, though I didn't rem

Make it public domain. While any major corporation could still use it without you being paid, many don't and will request you provide the same code but under a license their lawyers are comfortable with. SQLite sort of runs on this mod

Quite possibly because the stock market is no longer reflective of the health of the US economy. It appears that the majority of stocks (80% or more?) are held by large entities and institutions, not individual investors, so it may reflect

If you're not prepared to invest the time to make an independent determination one way or the other, and you want to rely on the consensus view of experts, that's fine, there is nothing inherently wrong in that. Just understand th

Hmm ... I don't add users, no, it's just me, and I have no idea if I can add users. What I do though is use different prefixes for emails with companies -- if I sign up with TMobile, for example, I'll register my email with t

I think so, and if I read my upgraded plan properly, it's just over $100 for 3 years? I like their sieve implementation, I like being able to host my own domain there, and in the decade(?) or more that I've been a member, I have n

Eric, I assume you don't want to do the work, or you don't want to allocate time doing so. So I'll close this out. First, I want to be clear about the context for my challenging that slide you pointed me to located at https:

I'm sure I'll get flak for this. I'm not a climate change 'denier', but I'm sure I'll be called that by some. In fact, I 'believe' in climate change, meaning that the climate is changing. Because

I would love to see a flat tax -- we all pay 20%, 30% or whatever is needed. Doesn't matter where or how the money was earned, we all pay the same %, but sure, below a poverty line, say the first $20k isn't taxed. This would resol

The thought is always start with the simplest capability you can use to meet your requirements -- PG is awesome, but it does require care and feeding by a DBA. Here's a tool to migrate from SQLite to PostgreSQL if and when necessary, b

Look at using SQLite. Or at least start with that, and if you 'outgrow' it, only then consider PostreSQL. PostgreSQL is the best multi-reader, multi-writer, multi-user database out there, but you don't need the extra DBA ov

This is not any help to you now, but Catalina was released early in October and it's still October. Why did you and your remote workers upgrade to Catalina so soon? I always wait at least 3 months for the bugs to shake out for a major

You may not be breaking your goals down into the smallest components that you can actually work on - you're looking at the high level outcome and you can't eat the whale all at once. In order to, say, write a novel or create an iO
