One workaround for this is to have the employee "payrolled" through a temporary agency.

They handle the paperwork, and all the state compliance. The markup over handling this yourself is smaller than if the agency locates the employee themselves.

Any national agency like Manpower can handle this, as well as smaller local agencies.

Then you have a vendor and not an employee.

Get competent legal and tax advice before doing this. And I can't guarantee any particular agency will be interested in dealing with a small operation. Better luck with a small local agency in the state/province in question.
I really love GitLab, but I agree it has too many half bake features, and too many features that are wonky.

We use GitLab at work, and I tried hard to push back against the hate for it, but its hard sometimes when GitLab is just WEIRD, especially in simple things like MRs.

Blaming a language such as Go for poor software design choices is like yelling at a garden spade, in ASL.

I've seen some well-written library code that is kept up-to-date, and I've seen some crufty libs that, frankly, would barely pass muster on an internal code review. A good litmus test is to check the linting configuration for a given library repository, as well as the frequency by which a given library is updated. And none of these are anything that an experienced developer wouldn't do otherwise, regardless of the code.

To the original poster-sorry your life has been beset by having to clean up the messes of others, though you will find this to happen again and again. Grow up a little–some engineers might see this as an opportunity to make their corner of the world a better, more functional place, whereas a younger, more entitled engineer might expect everything to be perfect on day one (HINT: it isn't).
> The canonical examples are low latency (with SLAs on the order of a disk or network I/O, so 10-100 microseconds) and applications that need to use bounded memory.

Well, in those cases extra developer time is cheaper than a more powerful computer!

Will you get ROI building a stereotypical web application with manual memory management? Doubtful.

Edit:

> GC shifts human work from development time to deployment / ops time.

I've never had to tune a garbage collector in deployment. I've heard of other people having to do it; but I've never heard of anyone saying, "yes, I'm so happy I built my website with C++."
I would argue Golang is the most restrictive because it doesn't have an escape hatch from its language features.

Rust will get out of your way if you really want it to. It just gives you a seat belt because you are on the highway (writing systems code) but you are free to take it off.

Put up or shut up.
I started playing with Go in 2012 when I was doing professional C, C#, C++, Java, and Python. I stuck with it because almost everything was surprisingly easy. For example, I didn't have to learn an obscure DSL just to include dependencies! I didn't have to figure out how to wire together a "test target" in that DSL or evaluate a dozen test frameworks to get unit tests running! I could build and deploy a high-performance HTTP server with a single binary (no external apache/uwsgi/etc web server process)! And often without any third party dependencies at all! And idiomatic code ran 100x faster than Python, and on top of that there was headroom for minor optimizations (pulling allocations out of tight loops, basically). After a bit of experience, it as even easier than Python or JS thanks to static types.

> Might be easier than Java but Java has so much more community support (e.g Stackoverflow answers) it easily evens out.

This was true in the early days, but now Go is extensively covered in Stack Overflow. Of course, there aren't as many Go posts on SO as there are Java posts, but that's because Go is considerably simpler--there's less information to cover.
What regulations? From what I've seen all a company needs is to create an entity in the country they want to hire people. Since it's all remote they don't need an office or anything.
Coinbase fundamentally does not recentralize cryptocurrency, in the same way GitHub has not centralized version control. The underlying system remains vendor agnostic, remains open to use by other providers. Does Google own the Internet?

But more critically, Nestle owns _water_. That's something worth covering every day until sufficient reparations are rendered.
They only go out in devices after they've been patented.

Think of 3 years of research. Rather than it leading to three years of progressively better consumer devices, you instead patent the first idea and use it to go to market, then sit on the rest. After X amount of time (where X < 20 years), you patent the next winning idea, and go to market with it. Etc.

This presents a challenge to would be competitors; to go to market, you have to leapfrog the existing technology and patent (with as broad a language as patents tend to have), hope the incumbent doesn't have something that would immediately deprecate your product (or at least, relies itself on something you patented along the way), and then overcome the incumbent's existing advantage in in the market. And also be prepared for a legal fight, since almost assuredly one of you is going to accuse the other of infringing a patent.

I'm a bit surprised they don't mention Snap anywhere on the site except for a link in footer (something like "by Snap"). Generally I would expect much better experience from a single page website promoting one product.
I looked through (edit, most) their site, and can't find any... specs? Nothing about the length of each flight (but it proudly says it can do 5-8 flights). Nothing about the video encoding, or photo-quality, how many people it can track or how it handles crowds. Even the basics like, what phone's does this support, BLE-5 ect?

With no information elsewhere and not actually being able to puchase the device, is this acutally "launched" or just announced?

California's attitude toward tax is that if they can strongarm you for money, they will. The state really doesn't care about what's reasonable, moral, or within the bounds of the law as it's written; if they become aware of even a tenuous connection to the state, even if that's just having once lived there, they'll try to tax you.

For those who are considering leaving California: make a list of ALL ways you can cut ties with the state, make absolutely sure you check all those boxes, and document everything.
> The question is whether the 1-person remote "business" has a nexus in CA

It does; that nexus consisting of 100% of its labor force working in the state.

> and should be the treated the same as a company with a warehouse and 500 employees

That's not the question, since a company with a warehouse and 500 employees in California is not treated the same, as it is subject to a whole lot of rules and mandates that a single-employee remote-only foreign-HQ’d business is not.
It's common knowledge to those who have been burned by it.

Many haven't yet, and many people can get "tricked" into it - there's a reason the government has to stomp on companies that try to 1099 everyone.
Without such rules as the article describes, businesses predominantly active in California would just incorporate in Delaware and say "You can't touch us!"...

A bit like how Starbucks, Amazon, Apple in Europe all have the suffix "Luxembourg, sarl" because being incorporated there means they can pay less "local" taxes in other EU countries, thanks to Luxembourg's tax-haven-establishing PM who even got the job of President of the European Commission afterwards. Thanks for funding the penis-rocket, Jean-Claude!

No. When you use Justworks, they are the actual employer for your employees. So you're not doing any business whatsoever in another state.
> I'm also trying to figure out how to navigate the right amount of influence I should try and put on them to focus on [X]

I think this is something most parents struggle with, myself included. I have a 17-year-old and 14-year-old, and still trying to figure that out.
So? If you are doing business in 50 states, you need to be complaint with the laws of all of them. If you don't like it, you should move to a country with a more homogenized regulatory environment. Just because you are doing things with computers doesn't change anything. If I operated a franchise with 50 different locations, I'd also need to be complaint with 50 different regulatory environments.

You can't have 'states rights' (which, for better or worse, is how America claims to govern itself) and also have a single law of the land.

If you aren't sure that you're breaking a state law, don't do business in that state. Or do, and live with the consequences.
Depends on what abstraction level we examine. They are too cumbersome to program so aren't used much outisde games. High theoretical compute bandwidth, but end-to-end looking at application-delivered compute abilities, low expressive power and flexibility to realize our programs. Which is after all the point of programmable computers in the end.
Keep in mind that this is really just a nicer-sounding way of saying that we get xxx-xxxx (can't be arsed to do the half-life based math at the moment) years worth of equivalent C02 warming in just 8 years. Given how global warming is accelerating toward/through various points-of-no-return, stopping to point out that it's 'only' 8 years is doing a disservice to the efforts of communicating the danger of our current situation.

There are two parts of my comment. The first part paraphrases what Rob Pike said about the purpose of Golang, in his presentation at Lang NEXT 2014:

> "The key point here is that our programmers are Googlers, they're not researchers. They're typically fairly young, fresh out of school. Probably learned Java, maybe learned C or C++, probably learned Python. They're not capable of understanding a brilliant language. But we want to be able to use them to build good software. And so the language we give them needs to be easy for them to understand and easy to adopt."

The second part is based on my personal observations of human nature. Young and relatively inexperienced engineers often form a sort of personal attachment to whatever technology is enabling their new career. With this personal attachment comes a perception of attack against their person when that technology is criticized. This is a broad phenomena, not unique to golang by any means, but golang happens to be one of the languages that is popular with and promoted to young engineers. In discussions critical about golang, or javascript, or C, or python, there will often be young or otherwise inexperienced engineers interpreting criticism of the tool to be personal attacks.

Or by having a third party, a temporary agency, actually employee the resident of another state.

>don't hire remote employees living in a jurisdiction whose employment laws you don't know.

If you read the blog post, you can see that I fully knew and complied with the employment laws. (I used Gusto, as it happens). The blog post has nothing to do with employment laws.

The blog post is about income taxes, the franchise fee, Sec of State filings and absurd amounts of paperwork.

> "In particular, the taxes on property ownership are supposed to capture the entire value of renting the property."

No. once again, invariably, multiple people make this mistake in every thread about the land value tax.

'economic rents' are not the colloquial 'rent' we pay for housing we don't own. economic rents are UNproductive, meaning simply income produced by ownership itself, rather than in the productive delivery of service (in this case, housing). LVT only seeks to tax away that unproductive part (economic rents). the productive part would include the costs of mortgage(s), insurance, utilities, upkeep, and a small profit (aka risk premium).
The reports I’ve seen on this implied that (in general) left-leaning accounts were losing followers, while right-leaning accounts were gaining them.

Given that the coverage we’ve seen in various quarters (where the left generally fall into the “Elon buying Twitter is bad” camp and the right fall into the “good” camp), the changes in follower counts seem to be easily explained by a rash of rage-quitting left-wingers and a corresponding rush of right-wing Gab/Parler users giving Twitter another chance.

>My dad put above average pressure on me to learn piano as a kid.

Family did similar with musical instruments, I wasnt interested, as this was when singles and record players were becoming mainstream as a primary school kid I was doing some of the basics for dj'ing, way before Technic's 1200's/1210's things like beat cancelling by turning the bass down, scratching that sort of stuff, real elementary stuff. It really really annoyed the family, doing all this weird stuff to records and look at how DJ's are festival gods today! I wished I stood up to them more but as a kid thats not possible, so you take the next best option and do some coding because family want a quiet life, dont want kids causing hassle things like that.
I don't know how people can say go "gets out of the way".

Go makes me write dozens of lines of code to do something simple that in an any modern language takes a few.

It doesn't get out of the way, it gets in the way constantly. I'm constantly thinking in any modern language I can just do X, but in Go with its myriad missing features I have to sit and think about how I'm going to do it with just loops and if statements.

It's the exact opposite of getting out the way, don't even get me started on the syntactic verbosity.
Interesting, thanks for sharing that. He does follow this up to clarify:

> Something like that. Mostly I don't hate him, he just bothers me. I really wish he wasn't the banner-carrier for mainstream Christianity/Conservatism, but I don't wish he'd fall off a cliff or whatever.

I'm not sure if the reviewer's issue with French is rooted in French's willingness to explore nuance in a way that makes christians/conservatives uncomfortable, or if it's because French embraces positions that are really not compatible with the 2022 version of conservatism while still aligning himself with that movement.

In either case, it seems like a position that isn't particularly relevant to the primary content of the review. I will say it was probably an unnecessary distraction to mention him at all, but I don't think that distraction warrants ignoring everything else the reviewer writes.
Thanks for saying this. Our kids are younger but I have to resist the urge to try and force my interests on them, especially as they gravitate toward things that maybe I don't connect with myself.
Personally I love usage based pricing that’s tied to costs. One thing I’ve noticed, maybe more in the last few years, is that customers don’t actually want this because, when done comprehensively, it leads to an overwhelming number of line items/dimensions. That instance example should really be run time per cpu/ram, and storage volume, and network IO, and maybe even storage IO. Multiply those half dozen dimensions by the 10s of resources used and now they’re going to struggle to parse the bill and tie it together.

The other bane is value based pricing that business units and MBAs love. Trying to extract the maximum downstream (economic) value from the customer who’s using the service.

I do reckon you’re right though. Providing more timely estimated usage, and maybe even an approximate or base rate, would answer a LOT of these questions.

> I'd argue that transitioning is an extremely hard problem.

While you're completely correct, I don't think this is a reason to abandon the enterprise (other extremely hard problems: sending a human safely to the moon; democratic rule of law; the elimination of slavery).

While I ideologically support the so-called "Single Tax" model, it is indeed extremely difficult to imagine how this would be implemented at the federal level (especially in our current gridlock climate). I'd instead advocate going the other direction, and implementing it locally: property taxes already exist at the level of states and municipalities. These local taxes can gradually migrate to being calculated based on unimproved value, rather than including improvements. This can include whatever necessary carve-outs to reduce unintended side effects (grandfathering existing owners, partial exemptions for owner-occupancy and retirees, etc).

Under any model, the real tension is the zero-sum game between existing owners, and aspiring owners: the former want property values to go up, the latter want property values to go down. (We see the same dynamics at play in zoning laws, NIMBYism, etc.) As with any perverse incentive, or institutionalized rent-seeking, reform is extremely difficult, but by no means impossible.
Sketching out a business plan with some estimates and then having that reviewed by an accountant usually costs a few hundred bucks or less and can save all kinds of hassle by disclosing all of this in advance. This is especially true if doing business in another country but nowadays states in the US have wildly different labor and tax laws so it is also worth doing here.
You're absolutely right. I play music too and I understand how practice is a huge part of this. That's how I perceive intelligence - some people never stop learning and improving, which is what makes them smarter than others. Surely some were born more talented than the others, but they also spend more time practicing than the others.
Not where you would think: so cal. Now, it wasn't this bad everywhere in so cal -- for whatever reason certain areas got way more wrecked than others. I was still able to get food during this whole time, just not by going to a market within 15 miles of my house. This was clearly a distribution shortage not a real food shortage.

I drove about 35 miles to my parents' neighborhood and everything looked picked-over, but there was plenty of food. For example, I wanted pasta and sauce. I found pasta and sauce, but had to get a weird pasta shape and a more unusual/fancy sauce to find something in stock. That trip, I found some version of everything I needed, except that rice and flour could not be had. I wanted some produce, and I found some. Lettuce was gone, so were bananas and oranges, but I was able to get enough things that I felt comfortable I would still eat. Meat was a bigger challenge -- the regular market had only hamburger and bacon left (but the Costco in my parents' neighborhood still had plenty of all of the expensive meats and were only out-of-stock on the affordable stuff. If you wanted $20+/lb prime ribeye steaks, for example, they had plenty. Not huge mountains like usual, but plenty)

And restaurants (that didn't close) were fine at that time even in my neighborhood (they ran low at a different time, when local markets were fine). My local pizza place did a bigger business selling ziploc bags of flour, plastic beverage cups of milk and cream, and to-go containers full of eggs and butter than they did pizza delivery for a solid two months. (and commercial tissues and TP by the roll). These ingredients were all readily obtainable in commercial-sized units from commercial suppliers.

Still, I produced some (really bad) footage of completely empty markets, and, as a pretty rich guy in a pretty rich area, felt worried about whether I would be able to keep eating for the first time in my life. (I'll never again not keep at least a few shelves' worth of food in the house at all times)
