Maybe in the Facebook app, but not necessarily in the Facebook SDK which is integrated by other apps for ads/auth/analytics.

Except if they weren't subject to App Store rules they would likely bypass the advertising ID and do their own fingerprinting instead.

Since there are other IBM employees listed in the same file it sounds like the issue is with this specific employee?

If you're using Stripe for billing how do you handle tax compliance, specifically related to the VAT requirements in each EU country as well as sales tax requirements in each US state?

As the sole shareholder of a corporation you can pay yourself $0 in salary and issue yourself $100k in dividends instead.

I am wondering about this too. Tax compliance is complicated and Stripe doesn't do much for you on this front.

The corporation doesn't have to pay for these things for you to recognize a massive tax benefit from a 0% corporate tax rate. If you can route your earnings through corporation in this scenario then you effectively pay zero taxes on th

If you lived in Monaco and operated your business from there presumably that would trigger a nexus requirement for "doing business there"?

by nodamage 6y ago
Not really. Or at least, not nearly to the extent possible if you were to zero the corporate tax rate.

Let's say hypothetically John Smith makes $500k/year as a software consultant. Instead of being paid directly he starts John Smith Inc. and routes his income through his corporation. He withdraws $100k/year in dividends to pa

This doesn't really address the underlying proposal. If the corporate tax rate was lowered to 0% no one would choose to operate an S-corp anymore.

In this scenario how would you prevent individuals from routing their income through corporations in order to avoid paying personal income tax?

The US government effectively destroyed the US internet poker industry a decade ago without banning internet poker itself by simply banning banks from transferring money to/from poker sites.

I am curious about this too, from a copyright perspective: 1) Whether it is legal for Common Crawl to collect this data in the first place? Presumably they don't have explicit permission from every site they have crawled? and 2) Whethe

It's worth noting that Tether has not minted any significant amount of new coins since the NYAG settlement was announced. If the terms of the settlement effectively prevent them from being able to print any more coins, we will soon fin
