The best way today is to give the money to friends and family and then have them give it back to you as a gift. Gift income is legitimate, the IRS can’t go challenge the people and ask where they got the money to give to you.

When I worked I finance my compensation plan was always in writing as percentage of base compensation and commissions. If I was there on Jan 15th I got all of it. If I left anytime before Jan 15th I got none of it. So typically in December

It’s less the NSA specifically and more civil service in general that you should worry about. Civil service is the opposite of everything that you love in big tech - it’s neither fast, nor efficient, nor progressive, the people you work wit

In the US anybody can be laid off at any time without explanation or appeal. IBM is legendary for firing long time employees to get out of paying retirement benefits. The big banks and brokerages like to fire people in December so they don&

I'm pretty tired of seeing the ChatGPT headlines - right up there with Harry and Meghan, and Kim and KKKanye. There is nothing intelligent about ChatGPT, it's just a statistical trick, no understanding, no unique ideas. It's

There is a lot of truth in that. If no other mammals are eating those bright red berries in the woods, you probably don’t want to either. If mature rodents are unsure about a food source they’ll wait for some young go-getter to have a bite

Even in the best hiring environment it’s not uncommon for you not receive a response to a resume. HR departments are black holes that suck up bazillions of resumes, do a light pass to discard any that aren’t an obvious (to HR) match, then t

I’m not really a big fan of the “Star Trek” utopia where everyone seems to sit around painting and cooking soul food either. Been to New York City lately? We’re only 50% remote work and the entire city smells like pot around the clock. The

Very nice, I spent a lot of time at Radio Shack playing 13 Ghosts on TRS-80 model 3s or 4s. There was one sales guy that would always kick me out because he thought I was too rough on the space bar. Eventually I went with a TRS-80 Color Com
