In my experience a lot of YIMBYs are actually NIMBY but YIYBYs - Not in my back yard, but yes in YOUR back yard. A classic example is so-called progressive Robert Reich who has many times opined about the lack of affordable housing, eg, ht

To me the best option would be to massively expand the blue tick / verified accounts to include anyone who can prove their real world identity (and tie their actual name to their accounts), but continue to allow anonymous accounts, and

I wonder if this strategy could impact your credit rating though?

Even more tragic is that after the bird flew away the scientist played back the recording and the endling returned, thinking it another from its own species.

Right, so the question is will those 'deductions' still be allowed or not? If so, then get ready for endless deductions from countries that want lower tax rates than 15%.

The way the government creates incentives is by creating loopholes https://smartasset.com/taxes/tax-loopholes "The basic definition of a tax loophole is a provision in the tax code that allows taxpayers to reduce

Yes I understand that, but I believe that many corporations today pay even lower than a 15% effective tax rate. I suppose you're saying that these loopholes will be closed up to that minimum?

The US tax code is absolutely riddled with tax loopholes. Many of these loopholes were designed to act as an incentive, such as tax breaks for hiring former felons, building factories in certain locations, investing in R&D etc etc. Maj

Can you post your original message to the forum here too? That way we can know for sure what was said precisely, otherwise it's just he-said / he-said.

This is the major humanitarian issue of our time. It's time to put aside profits and apply economic pressure to end this (and other crimes against tibetans, mongols etc). Does the enlightenment project in the West have any energy left?

For me it was at the end of very mild flu-like symptoms (general malaise, sleeping a lot etc.). It's possible I was still contagious when I lost my smell and taste so people should probably self-isolate if they experience the same. Tho

Not sure, I don't recall trying spicy food. I had sensation in my tongue so any physical harm I would feel no problem, just no taste.

It took about a week to be back fully.

by bodono 6y ago
I ate a little less, mostly because the lack of taste made it less interesting. I felt fine otherwise and my smell was back in about 4-5 days.

by bodono 6y ago
I had a mild case of covid and the loss of smell and taste was unlike anything similar I've ever experienced. It's not like having a stuffed nose or just being less sensitive to smell. For me I could breathe just fine but could no

I know where you're coming from, but TF in my opinion was very user-hostile even on arrival. I can't tell you how much hair-pulling I did over tf.conds, tf.while_loops and the whole gather / scatter paradigm for simple indexi

I'm not sure this is really going to take off, it seems that most people who are abandoning TF are moving to Jax or pytorch. My own experience with Jax is that it is much easier to use then TF, just an all round more pleasant experie

Yes, and this highlights something that bugs me about many tech articles - using acronyms without ever defining them.

Lol. Do you think they'll pay more or less in unemployment benefits now that Uber and Lyft have left entirely?

Yes, the ideal thing would be for Walmart to go out of business and all those people who currently need partial government assistance instead requiring full government assistance. Think of the tax savings!

Ireland has a low tax rate, other countries are free to lower theirs. This is not a 'race to the bottom' for the simple reason that people will vote out a government that gives too much to multinationals at the expense of the peop

Seems like Ireland is doing fine, it's one of the best places to live in the world. So it is ethical then, by your argument. By the way, in case anyone claims that the tax revenue was 'stolen' from other countries- it's

Your quotes are from the decision that was just overturned, ie, the commission was found to be wrong. The fact is those taxes were legal and not preferential state aid, as was just ruled.

Scott is such a clear and important voice today. I really hope the NYT sees their error and corrects it, with apology to Scott, asap and Scott comes back online.
