Right, but you can take a foreign tax exemption or credit. You can make a US tax free $100k in Hong Kong with the exemption. Going the credit route takes what you pay in local taxes and deducts that from what you pay in the US, so in Europe

Failure being scary is exactly why I hustle so hard though. I don't deliver? People will stop caring about me within a year. Let's not confuse scary with bad. e.g. Paris Hilton is not scared of being homeless.

Your country's highest minimum wage is what the lowest possible earner in the US (federal minimum) makes in about 1 week, assuming just 40 hours of work. That's also why food delivery is cheap/free in Asia as well as cleani

"the same way they would if they'd just gone to use the restroom and found a dead body." If that restroom had been basically showing for weeks that it was going to have a dead body in it any time now. Would still be surprisin

I'll admit I haven't seen the editor since summer '14, but it was honestly shit then. The only thing I saw it used for was abstracting away environment setup for kids at a high school coding bootcamp, which I can forgive beca

>I'd guess that easily 75% of the tasks being performed by programmers in 1999 are fully automated by APIs and frameworks today. Not defending this guy, but it's not like we are still making the same product (pastry equivalent)

The kinds of people that don't co-habitate before marriage could easily have different qualities. i.e. There's one or more confounding variables. Unless it could somehow control for all these variables, I wouldn't be too conv

What should actually pain you is this comment. Even if we take your claim about society being better off if the 14k goes to education (which is some major hand waving), how would you suggest transferring this? Unless it's completely by
