If in your example you hired the construction workers as employees and, for what ever reason, kept them on the payroll, wouldn't you still be able to deduct the salaries you pay them each year ? If not it seems like a colassal disincen

I've seen previous discussions about this on HN but there seemed to be disagreement about whether this change required developer salaries to be treated as R+D or only allowed it. If this is really the way it works, defining some salari

I have a hard time understanding why this so bad and the article does nothing to explain it. As I understand it companies only pay taxes on their profits, which generally speaking is what's left after expenses, including salaries, are

That may all be true, like I said I'm no expert in this domain, but none of that is obvious from just looking at the app. I think you'll need to find some way to convey the advantages that your app has to the kinds of people who

I'll worry about that when I see it write correct code to render a circle in OpenGL.

I'm not a big user of this kind of application but I played around with it a little. The UI appears to be very well implemented but at first glance it looks like you more or less ported gimp to the web. I'm not sure there would b

It's good to see a politician actually doing their own analysis rather than just following every fad. It's a characteristic that is sorely lacking from the US political class.

The USPS appears to be misrepresenting its ability to deliver large and/or heavy packages. It does so in writing on its various websites where the weights and sizes of packages it accepts are published. The fact that others have expe

That's great but it's unfortunate that all of that effort seems only to have improved things at one post office. Given the number of upvotes my comment has gotten this must be a fairly widespread problem.

For me as a disabled person it's the difference between being able to get my package or not and then maybe getting refunded or not. For the majority of people it may be more of an inconvenience but they are still losing time and effor

Yep, it's basically fraud against the consumer being perpetrated by an agency of the US government. Not that that excuses Amazon. If anyone should know which carriers to use to reliably ship packages it should be them.

The USPS claims to deliver large heavy packages but doesn't. I just found a note in my mailbox saying "too heavy to lift, pick it up at the loading dock". Not helpful when you're disabled and don't drive. The box

Yeah, but with the difference in price you'd have to need to replace your SSD monthly for DRAM to come out cheaper and I highly doubt you'd be writing data that fast.

by tgflynn 4y ago
$1 per GB is $1000 per TB. I just bought a 1TB SSD for about $70. With such a large price difference you'd be better off buying a new SSD every year or more often, if you're worried about it wearing out.

What would be the advantage of having a SATA drive with DRAM instead of an SSD ? The only potential advantage I see would be read and write speed, but aren't SSD's already fast enough to saturate the SATA bus ? Isn't that wh

What API are they using for interfacing with the GPU (ie. OpenGL, Vulkan, other ) ? I suspect a lot of time is likely to be spent on the CPU side updating vertex and other data and pushing it to the GPU so it would be useful to have some mo

If that's the case it couldn't have been very well publicized, since I graduated from Cornell in 91 and never heard of it.

The referenced publication is from 2010. I went there too, more like 35 years ago. Maybe I would have done better if this sort of thing had been available back then.

Have you tried simulating your ideas in software ? There's nothing an FPGA can do that a software simulation can't. The only advantage of the FPGA would be speed.

Why would you think the supplier is centralized when any of X billion people could have bought the component or a product containing it and sold it to someone who sold it to someone who sold it to Iran ?
