Depends who owns the company you spend the $100k with. They'd need to pay 30% tax on their income, leaving a net outlay by the government of $15k (15%) overall.

AFAIK, the tax is only applied when the value is realised (i.e. sold/liquidated). I wouldn't have thought just holding bitcoins would be grounds for taxation.

Exactly, there was a strong amateur community with excellent content before ads were anything more than blogrolls and cross linking. Without ads, maybe we lose some of the purely c…

Seems to be licensed on a "per core" basis from Monotype. Perhaps I'm missing something, but that makes no practical sense to me. Typography.com's model of per site licensing is mu…

While I won't be downloading the data to my own server, I have no issue with others analysing it nor with reading analyses by those folks. Especially ones like this one, which is e…

A focus on excessive procedure at the expense of real progress, unless there's a pressing need (like war), would be my guess too.

I use Mandrill with Mailpoet (wp plugin), and have nothing but good things to say about them. You didn't ask, but we compared them with AWS, and the big problem with AWS was that w…

How can you say you'd recommend them, when the only way you got any real support was via public shaming? And for the account to be closed based on multi country logins, without any…

Very cool! Any thoughts about making it two-way at some point? For example, make sure that every network is updated if you change your name or email address.

If they're promoting such small numbers, I wonder if it's lack of interest rather than process issues.

Thanks, this is going to be really handy! Just curious, what do you use to create the docx in browser?

One is calendar (or financial) year, the other is a rolling 12 months from today.

That seems like treating the symptom, not the problem. How will insurance or registration stop cyclists from getting hit by cars? It hasn't stopped cars from hitting each other.

I'm also a non-American, and it wasn't sarcasm. I think the privileged label is overused these days (esp online), but the way I see it is that I've (apparently) got it slightly eas…

So, as someone who is a privileged class of the majority (white, male, 25-49), what are the roadblocks? If there's discrimination, isn't that purely the fault of the Y Combinator o…

So if mesh networks take off, and replace mobile internet for many people, are we going to see an increase in satellite and "traditional" mobile networking (3G, 4G, etc) prices? Ho…
