Ask HN: Cheapest way to get LLC with bank account as a Candian
Looking to get an LLC in US as a Canadian,
Wondering what the cheapest way about this is including monthly banking fees and yearly taxes?

I have a company in Canada that will be doing business in US soon and I think this is the best way to go about it.

Thank you
That was three paragraphs of claims. Which are you denying?
I have a disc from 2004 that had been in its original shrink wrap until this year but it had read errors when I tried to rip it and was showing signs of rot. Some discs are from bad batches, and you don't really have any way of knowing if a disc is bad until it starts rotting.
> I buy a concert ticket. Does this mean I can go see that artist everywhere they perform forever now?

This is a bad analogy. A better one would be, your bought a car from me, and three years from now, I tow your car away and do not compensate you for taking the car. Because buyer beware, caveat emptor, etc...

It's not that different than saying what the power plug need to look like.
There may be a market for an ATX USB-PD power supply. My desktop has no spinning rust nor discrete video card. A 60 watt power supply could power it easily, especially if there were a small lipo for the occasional burst.

What a miserable approach to life, reducing every craft and passion into something that is only worth doing if it can be commercialized.
> on a company which operates on free market.

You probably shouldn't have based your argument on this statement, which is generally regarded as a myth. It is a myth in the sense that Apple exists in a free market: it is a near monopoly but is savvy enough not to wade into the area other companies did in the 90's and were penalized.

Second, governments have the right to enforce environmental protection acts to protect the health and safety of its people. Technology companies are subject to this from day one at many levels (e.g., fabs have limits on how much toxic waste they can pump into the air).

The EU is leading the way for cracking down on trillion-dollar companies who choose to treat you as a product rather than a person. I hope the rest of the world follows.
Leasehold is a scam, and should not be legal in the first place. It benefits no-one except the original freeholder's great-grandchildren or whatever, and vastly complexifies matters for everyone else.
> (The very first comment on Ars article: "Now if we could just get them to quit carrying that crap altogether…")

And if news comments were the same as legal trials, then that would be something to be worried about! But "let's not label things accurately because the next step might be banning them" is a slippery slope too far.

I wonder how true that statement is.

I think it is interesting how dynamic people's interest is in a topic, and how this interest level can be deliberately altered by their counterpart in a conversation by speaking in very specific forms.

I also believe this phenomenon is relevant to the broader discussions in this thread.
> A political organization like EU has no say in this.

This is the short-sighted view. The unguided free market very often makes "decisions" that are detrimental to society as a whole, and it is absolutely necessary for political organisations to correct for this.

The problem with the US approach is that now we have a bunch of agencies effectively inventing laws without anywhere near the same degree of oversight or public accountability. Sometimes that's a feature rather than a bug, but not always.
Blaming the pharmacy is a little
disingenuous. Consumers should be able to buy medication without the same shelf being sprinkled with fraudulent placebos. This is something that needs to be regulated with warning labels or similar.
Yeah, we would definitely use nuclear mini-reactors in our vacuum cleaners otherwise, if only it wasn’t for the damn EU!

These are very well understood areas, there is only so many ways you can transport electricity. Also, there is nothing stopping innovation “after” the plug. It’s like saying that HTTP somehow stifles innovation.

Text is okay, but describing a graph is difficult and not as intuitive as a diagram. This doesn't mean UML is needed for the diagram, however the alternative is a semantically weak ad hoc diagram, and I'm not a fan of UML even though have plenty of experience, I agree that UML basically had good intentions for a real problem, poorly executed.
> Tu stultus es. You are dumb. These three Latin words have been The Onion’s motto and guiding light since it was founded in 1988 as America’s Finest News Source, leading its writers toward the paper’s singular purpose of pointing out that its readers are deeply gullible people.

> The Onion’s motto is central to this brief for two important reasons. First, it’s Latin. And The Onion knows that the federal judiciary is staffed entirely by total Latin dorks: They quote Catullus in the original Latin in chambers.

> They sweetly whisper “stare decisis” into their spouses’ ears. They mutter “cui bono” under their breath while picking up after their neighbors’ dogs. So The Onion knew that, unless it pointed to a suitably Latin rallying cry, its brief would be operating far outside the Court’s vernacular.

Well, anyway, this pro-gun stuff has nothing to do with piracy freedom. Piracy hurts some millionaire CEOs bank accounts, and guns literally kill people.
> If you genuinely think listening to racists would turn you into a racist I really do encourage you to try it so you learn you don't need to fear hearing bad ideas.

I just gave you evidence that it does by pointing to specific case studies throughout history. You then proceed with an assertion that it doesn't, backed up by you saying that less than 100% of people who view racist material become racists (well, of course, not everyone that's exposed to a virus becomes infected). This discussion is going nowhere.
I generally agree but I go back to the pessimistic article that (humorously?) predicts Europeans will go back to living conditions from 200 years ago. I don't think rational European leaders will let that happen. It could be that they completely lost their minds (there are signs...) but I give them some more credit for now.
Even the Ukranians themselves probably have their limits on how much they care about Donbas and Crimea.
Just a note that LiteFS isn't a distributed filesystem; despite the name, it's not a filesystem at all, but rather just a filesystem proxy. It does essentially the same thing that the VFS layer in SQLite itself does, but it does it with a FUSE filesystem, so you don't have to change SQLite's configuration in your application. As for the "distributed" part of it: LiteFS has a single-writer multi-reader architecture; it's the same strategy you'd use to scale out Postgres.

It's a little ironic to see LiteFS brought up in relation to a SQLite fork, since the premise of LiteFS is not changing the SQLite code you link into your application. Much of the work in LiteFS is about cooperating with standard SQLite.

At any rate: it seems somewhat unlikely that a hard fork of SQLite is going to succeed, in that part of the reason so many teams are building SQLite tooling is the trust they have in the current SQLite team.
I've been startled to find out that the global population is stabilizing or is actually reducing [0]. To me that means that any shortages that are apparent now (and Software Dev shortage has been trumpeted about for years) will continue into the future.

If you look at the demographics of US [1], you see that dip below the age of 30, so there are fewer folks coming online to take the jobs of the people retiring.

Of course there's immigration, various other methods to incentivize more people to join the IT sector, but ultimately it looks like there's fewer people to handle more work.

I have, you really start to see the difference between developers without formal education and those who have computer science backgrounds once you start going into deeper things than CRUD applications or other solved problems, the kinds of things you can’t just google a solution for.

Kind of like how most boot camp grads will do the specific things they learn in boot camp very well but then fall apart when you change it up on them.

There's a difference between saying "here's a thing that makes no difference; take it if it amuses you" and saying "this is as effective at treating your condition as the other medicines you find nearby, so you don't need any of them." Whether or not homeopathy is a good thing, or better or worse than conventional medicine, it isn't the same as conventional medicine, and shouldn't be presented as such.

You can bootleg your own fast lossless codec by doing delta-encoding on the raw PCM to get a lot of zeros and then feed it through an off-the-shelf fast compressor like snappy/lz4/zstandard/etc. It won't get remotely close to the dedicated audio algorithms, but I wouldn't be surprised if you cut your data size by a factor 2-4 and essentially no CPU cost compared to raw uncompressed audio.

It's also governments who choose to allow this to be legally done. Nobody allows homeopathic gas stations that look like the real ones.

Anymore? When was a CS degree a positive signal? I don’t work with any programmers who have a CS degree (or even a STEM degree). Most of us have been in the field for 20+ years. We have degrees in ancient history, music performance, educational psychology, linguistics, etc. I read thousands of resumes over the years and have never paid any attention to what someone studied in college.
You seem to be placing a lot of doom and gloom onto the proscription of a given physical port.

I would say it's a soft requirement in most cases. One must be prepared for an extra uphill battle trying to secure a job without one. As someone who just broke into the industry this month (with no degree), my biggest assets were an existing portfolio of work and leveraging my ten years of professional experience working on complex/critical problems in various fields.

I don't think this is strictly related to software engineering, though. I think most people doing horizontal career transfers use some form of the above to achieve success.
It's interesting how diligently they wiped our any and all mentions of Yandex from their website, to the extent that Google struggles to find meaningful mentions apart from a few exceptions like [1]. Quite peculiar considering that just two years ago, according to that presentation, they were still considering themselves a Yandex project, even the link in that tweet is https://clickhouse.yandex .

For those unaware, Yandex is a Russian internet megacorp, think Google but in cahoots with the authoritarian government: cherrypicked news coverage friendly to the government, effectively a monopoly across multiple verticals (eg they bought out Uber in Russia), etc. In 2020, the year that deck seems to be from, they were already censoring their news feed [2] and tweaking search ranking to promote pro-government results [3] for years.

Not to be pedantic, but just because symptoms are masked does not mean they are/were not present. I think the differentiator is whether one had symptoms to mask or not in the first place.

I masked some of my symptoms as a child, was diagnosed as an adult, etc., but the symptoms were always there despite my prior ability to function around them.
Thanks for pulling this up.

The total number of software developers has gone up so much that I fear that its going to start dragging up the salaries of peer-occupations like Civil Engineering, which are fairly easily retooled as junior software developers, as the demand starts to outstrip relative supply.
Yeah makes sense. I use ZFS on NixOS and it mostly just works. Sometimes there's a lag of a few weeks between when the kernel gets a minor update but ZFS isn't yet updated to match, and rebuilding NixOS will fail during that time. Not a showstopper, just a temporary annoyance, but it sounds like that CI pull request will fix this.
My one complaint about ZFS is that I'd repeatedly googled for "what's the procedure if your motherboard dies and you need to migrate your disks to a new machine?" since that's super-easy with single non-ZFS disks but I was worried how ZFS mirrored pools would handle it, especially since the setup was so fiddly and (compared to other filesystems I've used) highy non-standard (with good reason, I'm sure).

And yet, this thread right here has more and better info than my searches ever turned up, which were mostly reddit and stackoverflow posts and such that somehow managed never to answer the question or had bad answers.

The one complaint is that I found that to be true for almost everything with ZFS. You can read the manual and figure out which sequence of commands you need eventually, but "I want to do this thing that has to be extremely common, what's the usually procedure, considering that ZFS operations are often multi-stage and things can go very badly if you mess it up?" is weirdly hard to find reliable, accurate, and complete info on with a search.

The result was that I was and am afraid to touch ZFS now that I have it working and dread having to track down info because it's always a pain, but I also don't really want to become a ZFS wizard by deeply-reading all the docs just so I can do some extremely basic things (mirror, expand pools with new drives, replace bad mirrored disks, move the disks to a new machine if this one breaks... that's about it beyond "create the fs and mount it") with it on one machine at home.

The initial setup reminded me of Git, In a bad way. "You want to do this thing that almost every single person using this needs to do? Run these eight commands, zero of which look like they do the thing you want, in exactly this order".

I'm happy with ZFS but dread needing to modify its config.

Oliver Burkeman created a term called "Cosmic Insignificance Therapy" that is related to this realization.

"…it comes as a relief to be reminded of your insignificance: it’s the feeling of realizing that you’d been holding yourself, all this time, to standards you couldn’t reasonably be expected to meet. And this realization isn’t merely calming but liberating, because once you’re no longer burdened by such an unrealistic definition of a “life well spent,” you’re freed to consider the possibility that a far wider variety of things might qualify as meaningful ways to use your finite time. You’re freed, too, to consider the possibility that many of the things you’re already doing with it are more meaningful than you’d supposed—and that until now, you’d subconsciously been devaluing them, on the grounds that they weren’t “significant” enough. (Burkeman 2021, p 212)"
Lightning is a better connector for small devices and it's more durable in my experience. USB-C is way better than micro as a connector but you end up with the issue of many kinds of cables that look similar but are not interchangeable. What speed? PD support? Power only? Who knows!

Maybe switching to a less durable connector or no connector is fine given that Qi support has gotten pretty good. Most of the Lightning cables I've purchased are still in circulation, I'd prefer not to replace them.

If the EU really cared about solving a problem they'd ban micro, that connector is really fragile and totally superseded by type C.
> They can't, with blown up pipes they can't just start receiving gas they need.

Pipes can be reconstructed, peace deals can be made and shut down gas fields can be reopened (looking at you Groningen).

Well if that happens it happens - what's your idea of preparing? To me a quick death sounds pretty good in such a case.

Arguing that reading anything, even small amounts of information located directly on the ticket or receipt, is "legalese" is very reductive and seems to be coming from an emotional rather than logical argument. Event tickets are an established practice that is very familiar and straightforward to consumers and as another commenter mentioned is a false equivalence for several reasons.

There is an actual legal concept of an undue burden and that is exactly what having to read through many pages of fine print is. If you don't actually own digital content it should be highlighted very clearly, while placing a minimal undue burden on the consumer. Otherwise, it's deceptive.
Yes, Reddit's "watchpeopledie" forum was very instructive in just how damn good we have it in the West, and how precious it is and how much we need to protect our society from enemies foreign and domestic.

On /r/watchpeopledie I saw a 16-year-old girl doused with gasoline and burned to death because she was accused of being with a gang that killed a local taxi driver in a mugging, a group of four young men bashed with rocks and set on fire because they were accused of stealing a laptop, and elementary-school children going around an abandoned building murdering tied up men in some kind of ISIS propaganda video. I've seen a woman in Iran hanged by being pulled up from a crane, starting to kick her feet slowly and then wildly and then stopping. A guy in Mexico having his heart cut out while he was alive in front of his son, and then the same happening to the son. A group of women stripped naked and shot in the head in some kind of cartel video. A guy told that he was being released and to turn away, and then used for target practice with some kind of heavy artillery - he essentially exploded when they hit him.

All that shit is out there, and most Americans who have never seen anything worse than a mean Tweet have no idea about it.
