I was surprised by that also. Here's what I found and shared in an earlier comment in this submission.

I asked a friend who has a CPA, but doesn't work in tax law. Their first comment after briefly scanning the legal code is that "disqualified person" is only used within the context of "prohibited transaction". The definition of "prohibited transaction" concerning "disqualified person" doesn't seem to address this case. Instead, it seems to focus on dealing with the Roth IRA assets in a manner to benefits ones accounts outside of the Roth.
True, but I was going to have trouble hailing a taxi from inside a port after dropping off my car for shipping across the ocean.

Which in typical fashion, I dropped off just under the deadline, so the office was closed.

Oh did I mention that no there aren't regular taxis on this island anymore? I should have mentioned that first.
Can you backdate dividends? Each quarter, pick a random date 1-2 months back as the date of record.
Absolutely right. If you're a company, rent a storage vault.

You mean like when Musk sold $1.5B in Tesla shares and paid $0.5B in taxes (33% rate) but then Propublica complained $0.5B was a small amount of taxes compared to his overall wealth (ignoring the rate for the transaction).
I'd say there's an even better distinction: backups keep your data safe even if you manually delete it. With only redundancy if you delete a file it's gone. With a backup, it's still in the last backup. Of course there's usually some maximum retention period for backups, but that can get quite long.

Everything else is secondary and can be covered by both. The chance of your redundant data center burning down at the same time as your primary is also low. If one burns down, you just bring up another. Likewise for smaller-scale users, where the chance of your cloud provider being down when your house burns down is also incredibly low.

So it's really the versioning or snapshot nature that's the key aspect of backups as opposed to simple redundancy.
These stories are essentially fake.

I'd be willing to bet the technology behind "Last month, the Cowessess began to use ground-penetrating radar to locate unmarked graves " is fake.

This is hard to do, most at the commercial level only detect disturbance.

No one is releasing the data or even having it checked so far I can see.

Unmarked graves are normal, this many in one spot and allegedly unknown is not.

This to me says it's a graveyard, and this is just a survey. Nothing strange -

> "This is not a mass grave site. These are unmarked graves," said Cowessess Chief Cadmus Delorme.

If you think schools back then were killing or allowing students to die at levels higher than normal for the time you are delusional.

If you claim the parents were not told about all these deaths, more than what we already know, prove it with the new info, but it's nothing to do with unmarked ground disturbances.
It's not valuable. One of the things it does is chart "opinion" sources alongside "news" sources, so that the reason you see NPR in the center is that they're talking to a small (and poorly defined) subset of NPR. You see the same thing with NYT "opinion" (allegedly equivalent to Jacobin!) vs. NYT "news" (allegedly equivalently partisan to the Epoch Times!).

I think the real subtext of this chart isn't so much to portray any particular outlet further to the left or right than it is, but rather to boost the credibility of fringe outlets.
I believe that's some form of bitrot. AFAIK only ZFS can deal with this (assuming you use ECC RAM).

EDIT: According to Wikipedia, ZFS, Btrfs and ReFS offer strategies to deal with various forms of data degradation, although it appears as if ZFS is still king.

I am aware that is the FAA Position, I am also aware that United States v. Causby The US Surpreme Court reject the US Government claim "to possess all airspace above the United States down to ground level" holding that a Military jet flying at an altitude 83ft is a violation of the land owners rights to their property, aka the low altitude airspace

Just to clarify, I do agree that what they taught is useful to know. Just that the barrier to entry to learn it by yourself is much lower.

To experiment with software concepts "all" you need is a computer and a compiler. Experimenting with electronics required power supplies, signal generators, FPGAs etc. The barrier to entry is much higher in my opinion. I'm grateful I got access to those labs during my study and felt like it was worth the money.

> The things I learn now are entirely structured based on how I learn CS and would not be the same had I learned it on my own

I didn't have that experience. My lecturers were a bit shit in my opinion, and I ended up learning everything from watching recorded lectures from MIT/Stanford/anywhere I could find. Had I not gone to university and watched those lectures I would have ended up with the same knowledge. I felt like the point of my CS modules at university was entirely just to get a piece of paper confirming what I managed to teach myself.
You create an LLC that you invest in, that LLC then buys the house. Pretty much anything but (a) collectables or (b) S-Corps can be owned by a Roth the same way.

You cannot live in it, your family cannot live in it (for some level of closeness), nor can any of you even replace a broken window. But it's totally doable. You need a self directed Roth and paperwork done. You are allowed to do the paperwork yourself.
> Do you charge your company for desk space at your house?

Do you charge your company for your commute to the office?

I can see where you are coming from, but charging the company for office space in your home is a bit over the top IMO - paying for the setup should be sufficient. Additionally, working from home comes with time and money savings for you (unless your answered "yes" to the question above), so it's not like they're using your space with only disadvantages to you. Lastly, renting out the space in your office might come with further drawbacks, as the company could demand more control of the space it is paying for.
I've built a similar device to this (originally for a solar tracker that keeps the sun at high magnification in the middle of the frame, but it turns out to be ideal for panos as well).

It's a DSLR with crop sensor, 300mm lens, stepper+gear for azimuth and stepper+belt for altitude (with gearing to get more torque for both). I used this system with Hugin to assemble 180 degree x 180 degree, 5 degree azimuth and altitude steps (so, about 5X your resolution, I don't have the same zoom as you). Results are great- I can give this straight to hugin, update a PTO file with my known angles, and it assembles without any futher optimization. I do pan with a planned path.

If the belts are real tight, backlash is neglible (seems to be a lot smaller than any gear I could print). If you're having that much backlash on tilt (that it's shaky and sensitive) I think you might need to re-engineer the frame to be more stiff (which will cause the shakes to dissipate faster) or tune your motors (tuning velocity and acceleration). You might also be able to use a spring to keep the gear in place. I tried to get a 3D-printed worm gear working, but never made it compact enough to be practical for the altitude.

I had white PLA, in direct sunlight/90F ambient for hours, and it warped. I only noticed because I was inside watching the incoming images and the altitude staged started to "melt" causing massive positional losses.
I wonder if Wikipedia would have a cause of action here too; they're similarly shown to be falsely accusing a person via the inclusion of a photo which is not in their article.
The U.S. is now flooded with "fast and convenient" point-of-sale systems (Square, Clover) that ask customers for a tip amount following the transaction.

To the retailer it's an obvious move. But as a customer I'm not going to pay a gratuity for the counter worker to pick up my order behind the counter and hand it to me. Their compensation should be built in to the retail price.... like everything else.

On the other hand, waiting tables is mentally and physically straining, and the quality of service can vary widely. They also act as salespeople. I WANT to tip them, it makes me feel better about being a particular/specific customer. That said, they shouldn't have to rely on gratuity to live a balanced life. Build it into base price. Then I tip as a genuine bonus.

If restaurants want to hide food prices in "equity" tax, then fine. I'll consider that in my purchase. But it only makes THEM look cheap.
Journalists don't choose the clickbait headlines and generally don't care for them; they are business decisions, especially for any site that makes money via ad clicks. They even do A/B testing: initially some visitors are shown headine A, others see headline B. If B gets more clicks, A is dropped.

mason55's is spot on: keep digging. If someone really did something, they can easily answer any detailed question about it, including what alternatives they considered/tried.

Re #2, you have to control the interview, and come armed with questions to draw people out. 'kritiko mentioned their difficulty defining concrete measures for the outcome of their work. Can you tell me about the impact that's had on the team?'

Re: #1, I recommend reading 'Radical Focus' and Move (Patty Azzarello). A PM should be able to define measures of impact, and be able to communicate why they are important. If they can't do that, how could anyone trust them to prioritize features/whatever?
That's wrong. Holding something in an IRA doesn't prevent you from selling it, only from taking the proceeds and putting them in your personal checking. The proceeds continue to be property of the IRA/401k, and can be re-invested elsewhere, without incurring a taxable event.

You can day-trade in your self-directed 401k or IRA until you're broke or Thiel-level rich, and the IRS will never get involved.

I mostly agree with the top-level comment, here; ProPublica is losing a lot of credibility for their mildly misleading and black-and-white framing of these tax issues, and I'm someone who genuinely believes that wealth inequality is a problem that can and should be addressed by the state.

He sounds like a hard-hitting, abrasive writer. He would do well as a gossip columnist, gonzo journalist, or writer in the redpill/"intellectual dark web" scene. But this sort of vitriolic writing that gets personal enough to call Shopify's CEO nerdy and bespectacled is unbecoming of an executive. "He wouldn't be writing it if he was still employed at Apple", you say. Maybe, but clearly some coworkers think he'd still be holding people in the same disregard as he had already revealed in his prior writings.

Maybe he should try being a full time blogger. He's got the same vaguely misanthropic and nihilist tone of The Last Psychiatrist. He could amass quite the cult following.

I'm kind of hazy on how to fund such an LLC to buy stuff in the first place - do most people structure the initial money as a loan so it's tax free?

I'd love to hear practically-speaking how to do this on a small scale.
Every time people who literally installed linux 10 years ago and think their experience from 10 years ago still scales to today comment on these posts, I'm honestly tired of it. I don't use ubuntu (I use elementary os) and I don't have weird update issues.

No, that's my point: For "TERFs", feminism is apparently not about achieving equality between genders, but about achieving equality between sexes.

As for the rest... I'm not up to going through it all in detail, but on the whole it feels like about the same level of misunderstanding.

>> their only goal is maximizing shareholder value in the short term

and mentioned Amazon making a loss. You're right that Amazon could credibly be described as "maximizing shareholder value", but I think the question of whether they maximize shareholder value in the short term is more subtle.

You could do some jiujitsu and say "long-term value maximization is equivalent to short-term value maximization under reasonable assumptions", but I think the discussion upthread was about a more prosaic concept of short-termism that is related to profits. They wouldn't have qualified their statement with "in the short term" if they'd meant "expected NPV" :-).

So the Indian act should or shouldn't be removed? Natives I've discussed with this have said it should categorically be removed. I'm not saying it shouldn't be replaced, I'm say it should be removed.

Edit: Look, I'm sorry for being so aggressive on this point, and I hear what you're saying. You're not wrong. I am not a Trudeau, I'm not from that era, and I disagree with a lot of how we've approached these conversation, with a blunt assertion such as I made. I say remove the indian act because I've talked with dozens and dozens of Natives who have always started from that position. I've read Bob, I don't totally believe his reality reflects that of the majority of Natives, but I don't know. I take my queues from the positions of those directly impacted, and my conversations have brought me to the belief that the indian act has done more harm than good. I'll even go as far as to admit that "removing" it might simply be symbolic, but that symbolism, similar to the issues with Ryerson, or Mcdonald, or the street named "Colonization Road" that is currently a very hotly contested renaming issue in Fort Frances, Ontario, if these are the wishes of those that we displaced, they should be seriously considered in genuine consultation and partnership, something the Trudeau Sr government clearly did not undertake.
Yes, but why is it needed for Windows 11? What does 11 do with it?
"(due to the seller restricting their supply or just shutting down)."

The appropriate thing to do then is for the state to use the labour that they would otherwise subsidise to produce apples.

Which makes sense since the actions of the suppliers shows that there is no more productive advantage in paying a profit share. They are incapable of using the shortage of labour market signal to innovate and automate - thereby producing more with less.

Subsidy is never good for the free market. Nor is giving a monopoly over supply to capitalists. Capitalists should know that they are only permitted to exist where they drive forward productivity. Once they cease to do that in a market segment, then they are out of business.

Free markets only work when both sides can say 'no deal'.

Are you forgetting the recent post about how kids these days don't even have any concept of files? You're over-estimating most people in their technical competence and the required level of understanding and patience needed to do anything with SFTP.

When I had a sizable house in an affordable area using a home office felt like a blessing. After moving closer to the office and renting in an expensive area this past year has been... difficult. I'm essentially paying 800/month in rent for the space my wife and I have been working out of.

The problem is when it becomes required to submit to this sort of surveillance, or you don't get insurance at all. That doesn't seem like an unlikely endgame to me.

Also the factors the app monitors are not necessarily correlated with risk of a crash in the way we'd expect. For example, if you drive the speed limit or slower on most highways in the US, you will be driving slower than the speed of most traffic, and it's more likely that someone will rear-end you.
