I hope NYC has done their research... Cable stayed bridges like this have a nasty habit of allowing snow and ice to freeze on those cables. The melt results in literal "ice bombs" onto the traffic below, with some rather disastrou

I fail to see how this is an issue, but even if I concede the point, she still brought the stock up and created an exit for shareholders. The goal of a resurgent Yahoo seems to only have been one shared by outside observers.

And? Was Meyer not the CEO when this happened? I'm pretty sure she was. Just because she resorted to something other than organically growing the business to increase the value to her shareholders doesn't mean she's a failure

She increased Yahoo's value 200%. How is everyone missing this?

She's the CEO. You can explain it away but she is as subject to good fortune as much as she is bad. EDIT: Haters out in force I see. The share price was $16 when she started. It's now $48. It's irrelevant what she did or didn

She took the stock price from the mid teens to close to $50 today. I know we all expect a "Great" CEO to lead the company to world domination, but Yahoo was a sinking ship before she got there, and she was was able to turn that ar

I don't connect the two really. The account is clearly a throwaway, but that doesn't really bare on whether the story is accurate or not. It very well might be.

Eh? If she was deceived (intentional or not) she is in fact telling the truth, since to her it is real. There aren't more than three option present, but you're more correct that you may not have enough information to deduct which

It's likely that Apple is just forgoing the input tax credit in this case. They remit the GST on their sale and because they aren't charged any GST by the app creator, they don't look to offset. Now, the major issue here is t

Are uber drivers allowed to be Lyft Drivers or regular Taxi drivers? If so, you have a good argument that they are not employees. If not, they will be seen by the CRA as employees, regardless of anything else in place. If they are not emplo

I don't think you understand how this works. I can charge you $10 for a candy bar with GST included and make $.95, or I can charge $10 + 5 cents gst and make $10. It's not at all the same thing as you previously suggested. The ent

Irrelevant. If you say you'll build me a website for $100, and I in turn contract that out to some guy in India, I'm still required to charge you $100 + $5 GST. The fact that I didn't use an employee to provide the service is

Except for the fact that the GST gets remitted to the government, instead of to Uber. Your suggesting is an 5-17% reduction in margin, dependent on province. Either way, collecting GST on a sale is the norm in Canada, regardless of what hap

The consumer pays Uber. That is the point of sale. That is where the sales tax is collected. This isn't rocket science. To your - bad - analogy: If MS was selling templates created in word by you to a marketplace, you can bet that GST

Nothing wrong with KW, but compared to Vancouver?

Blackcomb is open until late may, and then also has a summer season. (glacier) Vancouver does get a lot of concentrated rain, but summers are sunnier than most cities in North America. 90% of that 1900 hours is between June and September.

There are very good reasons people DON'T live in those countries though. Most have to do with things westerners take for granted, like stable electricity, not needing to bribe cops, and being able to easily purchase goods when you need
