Frankly no, it doesn’t re-flow them so the text will often be too small. Quite a massive oversight and no one really talks about it.

In modern monetary policy, income tax is used as a deflationary measure and our government is funded by the fed.

You can just skip all this: create a landing page with a “Coming Soon” mock-up and sign up form. Buy some ads, tweet and then wait to see if it’s worth working on.

I believe that white collar crime deserves the harshest punishment of all. It’s committed by intelligent people, premeditated and generally abuses a position of trust.

I've prototype on a collab notebook and have been using AWS GPUs for training. Having to jump through hoops for quota and the general anxiety in trying to optimize the costs led me to just build a machine with a 1-time upfront cost. As

Dope, 7 days is a pretty nice turnaround. I went with a 'custom' prebuilt so I could plan for adding additional cards once they're well supplied. You might run into trouble with the PSU, case clearance and mobo throughput if

I just went this route to build a ML workstation. I was able to get a prebuilt with a 3090 for ~30% of a comparable build on https://lambdalabs.com/ . Now I just need to wait until next year to get the second 3090. I conside

I believe the IRS would investigate many small donations under the gift tax. An analogy would be restaurant servers claiming their tips as gifts and thus not disclosing it as income. I’m sure there are clauses to avoid abusing gift tax as a

The stock is counted as income when it is exercised. The basis is the strike price then, once you sell later it’s considered either capital gain or loss. My understanding is that you can only apply 3000 in capital loses to income tax liabil

That’s not a great analogy. Apple sells a computer with an extra Siri service. You return it and they resell to another consumer who has the option to purchase the Siri package. Seems reasonable to me.

You can purchase real time data streams for relatively cheap (200/month) from many companies, even exchanges themselves. I’m actually building something similar for my own options trading and was eventually going to spin it into a SaaS

I wanted to point my root domain (hosted by Google) to the Heroku app DNS target. I was able to solve this by using Cloudflare instead, with flattening.

Anyone have any recommendations for a managed Compute/Postgres stack that’s less than 100/month? I was trying Heroku but frustrated by the single port per container and lack of static ips.

I see tipping as a form of profit sharing. If a server or barista gets more volume for the restaurant, they get a cut. Often times, servers leave at the end of the night with $200+. I used to be a valet and was paid $5/hour but would m

I’m genuinely concerned that people seriously think this is a _solution_. Beyond sex, relationships with romantic partners are a complex, rewarding part of the human experience. How did that get lost to some?

That study had roughly 3k participants, from the Boston area. In my opinion, the are more than probably many factors that influence testosterone production and that’s not sufficient evidence to declare a population-wide crisis.
