We don't understand how do we understand. Then, how can we be expected to create something that can understand?

No too many, and lots actually run without any issues by using compatible mode.

Cannot agree more. Used Windows Server 2003 for over a decade, until I moved away from desktop to laptop and started having driver issues.

Nope, I did not. I clearly mentioned the account initial balance etc., and most importantly I did not want to set up a whole charter of accounts. You cannot simply say the sum of a…

Hey, it's time for some basics of accounting. Below are how those going to look like in the books. Assume initially there were $2000 in cash account, nothing in assets. Cash-Accoun…

Lol. That's probably one of the considerations while designing the tax rules.

There is a level of indirection as it should. But that indirection also adds distortions.

It should matter, but it actually doesn't matter as much as you thought as there is a level of indirection. Just look back to the promises made before the election, how many were n…

You don't cut your own fingers. And that pretty much the whole story.

Yep. Get your points. They can if they wish. The question is do they want to? If so, why were those loopholes there in the first place?

Those loopholes were by design, complicated enough to prevent most people like us to take advantage of it but will allow those who can afford to evade lots. I'm not sure if people …

My point was that Tax Laws were deliberately complicated to allow some people to evade taxes. If you put that into consideration, you will find it's a lot easier to understand the …

I remembered I read the article from Australian Financial Review, although I could not find the original link, got a more detailed one instead. See Page #3. https://australiainstit…

Even if you try to tax the riches, they have billions of ways to evade it. The tax laws are so complicated for a reason. Here in Australia, there were cases that some individuals t…

Nothing lasts forever. The rich get most of the economic growth is inevitable. It's the Matthew effect. In general, the more assets you have, the more passive income you have, whic…

It was never meant for everyone. I guess the original audiences were those need ultra mobile devices with extra large screens and do not care much about the price.

It looks you might have reversed the result and the cause. The ban was there simply because US peers could not compete already, rather than the ban led to less competition. Mobile …

Hmmm, for 3 minutes?

70%, REALLY? My personal experience was that at least 50% of the time, Copilot backfires, sometimes the proposed code was beyond ridiculous. Thus I had to disable it.

Doesn't really matter.

Even code generation is barely usable if you really start to use it. Currently VisualStudio's intellisense is generating completely junk code half of the time.

I would not even try. The reason is simple, there is absolutely no ability of understanding in any of current self claimed auto driving approach, no matter how well they market the…

Even if it does, can it resurrect the deceased?

Search was the only thing I need Google. Great, now the dependency removed itself.

Yep, I get that. I was from there. My NAS is almost 10 years old now, and there are just above 60 TiB data on it, there is nothing I cannot really lose on it. I don't really have a…
