The answer is No (as you can easily confirm by googling this). You should hold the shares personally.

Holding your shares through a US entity is not an advantage. Holding your shares through a foreign entity will cause you to get penalized if you continue to remain a US tax citizen.

The only situation where I could see an advantage would be if shares were held through a foreign entity and you hold them there (without an liquidation event) until you have surrendered your greencard and no longer meet the substantial presence test for US tax purposes and the resulting tax situation for you would be better than it was when you were a US citizen for tax purposes.

For example, if you held equity through, say, Malta, Panama, or the Caymans and you leave the US permanently, surrendering your greencard, and become a resident of a tax-advantaged jurisdiction for long enough that you are no longer taxable by the US, and only THEN your company exits, generating capital gains that could/would be distributed to you would be tax advantaged.
How would this expose that?

Regardless, I think the biggest benefit to companies hiring H1Bs is the leverage of the employee’s citizenship status.
Agree, the built-in DAC is so noisy it’s more or less unusable. A USB DAC is not too expensive and can be plugged into some random laptop, too.

Also, if the company does well you absolutely have to be able to delegate or you'll quickly become a bottleneck, as the company and people who work under you scale out and you remain single threaded.
He was a trained pharmacologist who knew that being on a constant dosage for that long can be habit forming so he didn't take them - a decent portion of people are handed a bottle of pain meds "Here's a two week supply" and assume they're supposed to take them at the prescribed rate continuously. It takes an active personal decision to decide not to take the meds prescribed for you and that you've already paid for.
It's not stupid.

Unnecessary most of the time but it becomes an expected processing and delivery standard, which makes the experience much more predictable for consumers.

Very few can really compete effectively with Amazon on this front.

Source: Used to run an e-commerce company that shipped up to 2 million packages annually. Once we optimised shipping and processing, customer service inquiries and complaints dropped dramatically, and customer trust / sentiment skyrocketed.

My understanding is that in certain regions Amazon offers the option to consolidate orders to be delivered on a specific day. This is actually impressive as it's much harder to do at scale than you'd imagine.
I wish I could get 100gbs+ fiber as cheap and ubiquitous usb 2.0. I’m curious why not as well.
A smart plug must extract a small amount of power from the line to run itself--and that means a power supply that very well might care. There's little reason to make the power supply universal as the plug is part of the unit and the plug specifies the voltage. You very much do not want plugs meant for different voltages to be interoperable! (20+ years ago I had multiple run-ins with this. China uses 240V and one of the two plug types is the same as US 120V. My FIL would try to plug US stuff in without using the transformer and of course it would promptly self-destruct. By now most things one might be traveling with are universal voltage but back then few were.)

Not only are US 120V plugs different than 240V plugs, but the 120V/20A plugs are a superset of standard 120V/15A plugs--a 15A plug will fit a 20A receptacle but not the other way around. I do not believe code permits plugs for devices beyond this range--the really heavy stuff is always hardwired. I believe this is to prevent morons from trying to power their house from a generator with a suicide plug--forcing people to use a proper transfer switch that can't backfeed. I suspect this will change in the future due to how dirty small ICE engines are--as it stands things like electric mowers aren't very good because they can't get enough power to be good. Likewise, pressure washers--the high power versions are always ICE. Where I grew up you needed at least 4hp in a lawn mower--and you can't draw 4hp from a normal wall plug.
This is because the ROP gadget hardening OpenBSD does is generally considered to be mostly useless by other kernels, which are moving to hardware-enforced control flow integrity instead.
Having lived in the UK for many years, the Polish contribution to winning WWII are not publicly acknowledged enough.
For example, I have not heard mention of the Polish fighter pilots that helped the UK on (radio reports of) memorial occasions, and they are not officially invited.
The one place where this was rectified is Bletchley Park, which after a major refurbishment/re-design now features a statue of codebreaking pioneer Marian Adam Rejewski - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marian_Rejewski

It is unfortunate that the reparations paid to the USSR were not actually used to Poland's benefit; however, that is the USSR's fault, not Germany's, and many Poles acknowledge that.
The present government had strong support by conservatives
and by anti-communist people because they promised to rid public offices from leftover communists or their puppets (which - true to their word - they did, but in a very bad, anti-democratic way, which ended up breaking more glass than they could have saved). This past support is eroding, but going back to the previous, "communists & puppets" won't solve anything either...

It is regretful that Poland's location in between two much larger, powerful countries made its people suffer as a "buffer zone" of sorts. Of course geography itself doesn't harm people, but people get harmed because of geography.
There's an anime called "Dr. Stone" which also explores the concept of starting civilization over with nothing but modern knowledge. The protagonist basically has all of Wikipedia memorized so that he can make optimal choices to advance technology given the resources at hand.

It's kind of silly and often hand wavy (especially when it comes to how much labor is actually needed to realistically produce refined materials). And it has the usual eye-roll-inducing shonen anime tropes. But if you like the "Primitive Technology" YouTube channel, you might get a kick out of "Dr. Stone".
Thank you for adding practical sanity to this thread.
I can't tell what you're arguing. No one is saying that any of those states have "achieved gender-pay equality". And CA isn't requiring your pay to be public knowledge, just salary ranges on job listings.

Using a primitive sluice to extract heavier particulate matter (presumably mostly iron or some form of iron oxide -- since iron is one of the most common elements in the earth's crust) -- is absolutely brilliant!

(I suppose if you were a survivalist, and you were "cheating" (not going through all the necessary steps to realize iron without modern tools), you could simply use a portable neodymium magnet to go through large amounts of dirt -- whatever particles stick are "mostly iron" ore -- which can now be processed further, such as being smelted, etc.)

To make it less confusing they’ll be moving to the old WiFi style names. The new versions will be called, in order:

USB-A, USB-B, USB-R, USB-CZ, USB-L2, USB-S, then USB-D.
To avoid confusion they’ll use the same physical port, which is now Type-C, but renamed Type-1138.

USB-D is somewhat theoretical as we’re likely to go through more renaming by then. But I digress.

It’s important to note each version of the standard supports both active (“o”) and passive (“u”) variants depending on distance.

Power levels are a simple scale of 10^nth milliwatts, expressed as a Roman numeral for readability. So I = 10mw, II = 100mw, etc.

Soon you can buy a highly advanced passive USB cable capable of delivering 10kW to your car for charging.

Foremost is the knurling on the shaft. It's additional machining for an essentially useless addition. All the hullabaloo about torque strength for the relevant use cases also seems overdone.

I have more than 20 years of Unix experience and was getting into DevOps and CI/CD in the recent years with GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, AWS etc. I literally discovered Nix yesterday via Andrew Kelley’s Zig demo on YouTube. I had the similar feeling as I first learned Unix tool chains two decades ago.

I believe live demo and CI/CD pipeline might be some of the best use cases to get people interested in Determinate Systems. Don’t get distracted by language features and syntactic sugars. If it works, people will learn.

I definitely agree with the advice to seek therapy for the inevitable relationship issues over coaching. Coaches definitely will help the individual but the experience is typically so one sided that it can often result in making tensions worse. A co-founder leaving can cause a lot of trauma to organization that is impossible once one leaves. I'm sure founders think the main impact is individual but let's be honest, it affects the entire staff. So yeah, co-founder tension needs to be treated like a marriage for the benefit of the co-founders and especially the benefit of the employees.
I supported an effort to standardize Markdown into an actual common syntax, instead of the nasty variation we see between GitHub, Reddit, Stack Overflow, Atlassian, etc. etc. This became CommonMark, which everyone ignores.
And yet it's GDP per Capita is higher than that of the UK
I'm not confident it would, but just spitballing here, if Company X consistently posts a bunch of below-market salaries, and then/also hires an awful lot of H1B folk for the same positions, you could probably do an analysis a la opensecrets that could show a trend.

I expect this would depend on H1B visa counts at least be public information. I'm not sure that's the case, and I'm not sure if it should be.
I'm a medical cannabis patient in the UK (medical cannabis was quietly legalised in 2018, there's only 10-20k private patients and virtually none on the NHS so even a fair few police officers don't know it's a thing yet!) and opiates scare me too. Anecdotal I know but I was given a box of codeine after having my appendix out recently and didn't even need a quarter of them so I could definitely see cannabis displacing the less powerful opiates to some extent in the future.

I guess it depends on the type of pain but I find cannabis more effective than codeine for the neurological pain I'm prescribed it for anyway.

Interestingly, both of these runs are using the same seed and prompt, yet they yield different final images, the only difference is the number of ddim sampling steps. I'd love to understand why if anyone has any idea.

Water infiltration is measured by digging a small hole, filling it with water, and seeing how fast it drains. There's no way that regenerative agriculture has changed soil composition multiple feet down, which is what would be needed for the soil to absorb multiple feet of water.

I went to check the above sentence, and the first hit was this detailed article from Washington State, which analyses Brown's claims in detail, and explains why the scientific community is skeptical of them:

https://csanr.wsu.edu/regen-ag-solid-principles-extraordinar...

Anyway, even if, as Gabe Brown claims, regenerative agriculture is an order of magnitude more effective than expected, and you applied it to 100% of the land in Pakistan, it would still only reduce flooding by less than a foot.
> "computer generated art" is also not protected under copyright

These AI's mix art that could be under copyright and very different licenses (I've seen watermarks while using them). You can assign any license you want to the output, but that doesn't mean the owner of the original art won't find a similarity and sue you. So basically it's a risk. Laws are blind, there is no automatic winner in a legal dispute, what you can prove in court and the laws that apply to your jurisdiction are what count, and also how much money you will spend in the legal process whether you are right or wrong.

CTO/Founder here. Coming up on 3 years with my co. Baby is 10 months now. Our tech team is small. Just me and three others.

My experience was very similar. Tried to make a gradual wind-down, spent more time documenting and planning while stepping away from core functions.

I will say that while “work” continued, “progress” slowed. People stepped up to manage, but nobody had the vision or the same passion for our product or future. I don’t blame them. It’s not their job.
Probably the best documented example of it working is in the Loess Plateau in China. John D Liu has a couple documentaries on it, here is one: https://youtu.be/IDgDWbQtlKI

A good example of a similar project in India, as covered by Andrew Millison: https://youtu.be/jDMnbeW3F8A

Sepp Holzer did a similar project in Portugal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUryneCjxV4 ...I believe he also did some pretty large projects in the middle east, but I can't find any vids on them at the moment.

Geoff Lawton has done a ton of projects like this, but maybe not at the landscape wide scales like the projects above.

Probably the best book on the basic principles of how to do it - Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond by Brad Lancaster. Also the book Water For Every Farm by P.A. Yeomans is pretty good as well, but not as accessible of a read.

TLDR - To keep desert monsoons from flooding areas downstream, dig a landscape wide network of swales and basins to catch, soak and sink the water into the soil. Properly dug, such earthworks recharge aquifers while stopping flooding and erosion.
I had to stop reading this article when it used the term "unnatural quiet".

It is the noise that is unnatural, not the quiet.

Ancient cities teemed with birds and bird songs, so much so that birds were often featured heavily in their creative works.

See: https://aeon.co/essays/the-ancient-world-teemed-with-birds-n...

Now, the artificial has intruded itself into the natural world. When I open the window of my urban apartment, the bird songs I hear have melodies like jackhammers and car alarms. The birds in cities now make the same sounds as the cities.

The natural world has adapted, and in doing so has become the same as the artificial.

>I can put white light through a prism and get multiple colours out. I made the assumption that actually white light contains all the colours,

If you put the white light from your (color) TV through a prism, you will get precisely 3 colors out - red, green, and blue. That's hardly all of them!

>otherwise it would be off white

This is false! For any given subjective white point, there is an infinite set of wavelength triplets which will achieve it exactly. The white from an RGB display is perfectly good, not "off white" at all.

> It's fair to assume that the whitish shade that eminates from a b&w TV is what is colloquially known as white.

Not a valid assumption! The "phosphor" in monochrome displays can take a wide range of subjective colors - very often it's blueish[0]...

> So I stand by my statement that a b&w TV contains all the colours.

...and can have all manner of emission spectra [1]. There's no telling what you'll get if you put that through a prism! That being said, the entries in that table for B&W TVs do cover most of the visible range, so in the absence of spectral plots, I may be forced to give you this one...

Interesting, thanks for your comment. The question is then if the US will also tax my German holding company even if I don't withdraw any money from it to my personal account.

Quick reminder to everyone in the thread that this isn't an example of reverse racism, which doesn't exist, nor is it an example of racism, which would require that BofA consider Black and Latino mortgage seekers as superior to Whites based on their race.

Not to be all Eeyore, but it's a little exhausting to have any post about any race-conscious action get bogged down by commenters who haven't even read the Wikipedia pages for racism and reverse racism. There's an interesting discussion to be had about these kinds of policies:

- housing as infinitely growing store of wealth is probably bad, is it a good idea to get more people on that train? Is it unfair to effectively bar Black and Latino mortgage seekers from the gravy train?

- is it a good idea to do this now, as we're descending further into a housing crisis, or are these markets more liquid than others

- what are other non-credit-score measures of creditworthiness? Is credit even a good idea? Should the government just back things like mortgages, school, and auto loans?

Ultimately all arguments against exceptions, as against any modern feature, come down to "don't make me think about how I code". The actual objections expressed are not meant to be examined closely.

It is funny that people using Rust would code almost identically if the language had exceptions. Its lack might end up what keeps Rust performance from catching up to and passing C++. The compiler might come to quietly use exception machinery for most call chains, as an optimization. That seems hard, but a 15% performance boost is worth a lot of work.
