Perhaps you want the website for the secretary of state. You can also look up any business and see all the public forms plus the address they're using (for those notices you're not getting). https://businesssearch.sos.c

Indeed anyone self-employed, full-time or part-time. A LLC just (hopefully) gains you liability protection and perhaps a bit more legitimacy, in return for a big fee in California.

Seems like this should be just a theft issue. If Fedex goes bankrupt while my package is in transit, I wouldn't expect them to be allowed to auction it to pay off their debt.

The explanation in the article is sort of along those lines, if cancer cells' inability to switch to a protective state is due to their faulty programming always keeping them in a growth mode: "Essentially, fasting causes a switch

Definitely in some companies, "senior" is just the very first promotion, coming with 3-4 years experience or a MS. Next comes prefixes like "principal and "senior principal".

I don't see why you are arguing with me here. How is my argument affected by these claims? Let me try putting it in a way that is (hopefully) freer from legal nitpicking: It's possible to create a system where consenting adults ca

I think the common ones have statistical interpretations (that predate deep learning by a lot). Perhaps the one for the rectified linear unit is pretty obscure. But as I understand it, the statistics concept is called the "Tobit"

Or, according to the last poll I saw, here we are with an average work week of something like 47 hours in the US. But we did ensure that workers at the low end aren't allowed the same flexibility as the higher paid employees, along wit

I do tend to agree with this idea. People constantly make such arguments talking about Android being free hence "you're the product". But people actually paid hundreds of dollars to get that Android phone, so it's not un

If most people want to help them, as apparently most people do (these laws need to get passed in a democracy, after all), why does that help need to be enforced by men with guns?

In places like New York, the taxi medallion is only required for picking up people on the street. If the customer calls them up it is a different story, anyone can operate that way (so I don't see why a taxi driver can't do it too

I don't get why people are making this case. I don't think the idea of a C corp belongs in quite the same league as the idea that murder is wrong. Reductionism can be useful for argument but can also go too far and lose the point.

On average, property tax rates are low but property values are very high so it's a wash. They still pull in a lot more per house than many states. Meanwhile California has the highest state income tax rate, with 13.3 percent in the top

What do you mean by quality here? I'd say the quality of the teaching has been going up as the quality of the students has been going down (precisely because access is going up). The focus is increasingly on the lowest common denominat

Not sure what you mean by this. I'd say the US way of teaching in STEM prioritizes solving problems, which is an excellent way to do it, and exactly what an entrepreneur or researcher most needs from school. School systems in other cou

The US doesn't care about your other nationalities. If you have citizenship or permanent residency in the US you need to file taxes (though despite what the other poster is saying, you may not actually need to pay any taxes).

They reported two facts, statistical significance and effect size, one of which was not replicated. Of course this doesn't prove anything definitively, but it still arouses suspicion. As for whether it's exclamation-point-worthy,
