Shortly afterwards, they rolled out a local non-cloud API for any non v1 devices. Unfortunate that older devices didn't get it, but at least they're following future-proof best pra…

The government is well-aware of how inflation erodes reporting thresholds. If you look at the obligation to report non-US bank accounts to FinCEN, they've indexed the penalties ($1…

As a recently recognised Italian citizen, I have to agree--it's not the appropriate place to form a startup. There's a surprising number of things that involve the legal system, an…

There's a USENIX article from a year or two ago about the "Biscuit" research OS, which was written in golang. There were clear compromises & performance degradations related to usi…

I wonder if the high prices you're seeing are because you're looking at black & white film. B&W film is quite forgiving of under/over-exposure, and it allows for push processing. O…

You should take a look into OpenCore Legacy Patcher

I recently did my 2013 MBP, and while it was a massive pain that left my hands hurting afterwards, I was able to do it without solvents or having to dismantle the entire system lik…

This paper lays it out pretty well. There’s a parallel tax code that is more complicated, and that’s before the nuances of tax treaties factor in. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/pape…

The big thing with the multinationals is that they're able to pull stunts like corporate inversions & royalty payments to their foreign entity to reduce their profit under the (mor…

What's also quite gross about this is that we have large multinationals paying zero in taxes to the US government, but there are small businesses owned by overseas US citizens that…

That seems a little incorrect, considering that Ireland is non-English only on paper.

Sounds like a reason to avoid this product.

The Pinebook Pro is pretty temperamental when it comes to things like battery management & performance. The Pi has more memory, more computing power, and is more reliable. Get him …

Some of the registrars are pretty picky about their rules. I have a .es (Spanish) domain, and it wasn't until quite recently that they stopped asking you to include your passport n…

I'm not too familiar with the local rules in Lithuania, but the EU has two different possible classifications for E-Bikes: * EU-Spec E-Bike: Up to 25kph, No license / special equip…

I'm wondering if the solution to this involves shipping more software via something like the AUR (Arch User Repository) rather than in binary packages. It's not necessarily sane to…

To the contrary. Of the three closest grocery stores, only one of them has a single cash line. One of the stores is cards only, and one of them doesn't even have any live employees…

Wouldn't it make a lot of sense to just use Pyspark with RDDs? Latency would be relatively high, but it'd also bypass the GIL while also being more modern.
