Is there a write up of how do be your own custodian? I'm paying a trust company annual fees to basically file irs form 5498 for multiple iras that only own an llc. I would pay money for information on how to do this.

most of the replies here are yawning at offseting profit with expenses. my reading seems to indicate that ISOs can be used to effectively convert corp tax/ordinary income to capital gains. is this correct?

well, the case reached a settlement so i would not say it was litigated in the sense of establishing case law or legal precedent. it's interesting- it reads as though harbinger bought bonds and demanded delivery. can you imagine it! a

I'm having a tough time getting an employer plan being self-employed in South Florida. Are there any trade groups/associations that would make this possible for a self employed programmer?

i understand that, but i'll bet if they would dump the source to dotnet/unsupported/system.speech the community would do the work for them to get squared up with dotnet core. it doesn't take a lot of demand, just 1 or 2

to be clear- you are saying it is side by side with netcore31?

why doesn't MS just release the SAPI wrapper as a windows only nuget package since it already exists?

extensive changes to the gc exposed an application issue that was complex to address. and no way to rollback the machine to net472.

is this an in-place update to the netcore3.1 runtime or does it install side by side for net5.0? just want to know what kind of risk it is to install. i got bit by the netfx48 in place update.

what makes you say they changed their mind? afaik it's same old story. it's really incomprehensible given that all they need to do is make a call on the underlying socket.

i let my kids download apps on ios and chromeos (no android). is it technically possible for these apps to be proxying data for someone like nord? if so, would it only be while the apps are in the foreground or can they do it in the backgr

refurb iPhone 8 might be a good choice. i just saw a rumor of an iPhone SE 2 coming 1/2020 for $399 which could work. an additional 200+ million insecure iPhone 6 devices in the world seems like a pretty bad thing :-(.

that invites a debate about the premise. i shouldn't need to justify my constraints. i should be able to pose a problem and STATE the constraints. if you don't believe that my constraints are real then you can feel free to not

My issue with the site is the opposite. Asking a specific nuanced question results in a response of a) tell me what you are really trying to accomplish and i'll answer that question or b) don't do what you are doing. Don't p

But still, what type of "discovery" is being hoped for?

Is the problem that facebook is just too good at what they do? Lots of companies build profile databases of people for various reasons. Lots of the "people finder" websites scrape or buy data directly from municipalities. I&#x2

What type of discovery would you like to make? It seems to me that whatever fb has they control and do with as they please and have the money for lobbyists and lawyers to corporate-splain their actions away and pay the occasional fine (cos
