My HN frontpage is filled with anti-AI rants

Indeed no one forces you to look up the solution.

Yeah because they commit tax fraud. I wont help businesses commit fraud.

The author of bzip3 probably doesnt like pushover licenses so made user rights stronger

"Let me potentially permanently damage my eyes to save 20 bucks".

Just pay with a credit card, it's the optimal way by far (float, flexibility, rewards). No need to overthink it.

Reminder to do more capital investments rather than consume.

Laborers/Consumers arent gonna make it

It's data for their AI pipeline. Basically digital gold.

Non-industrial sounds to me like higher prices. If so, probably a non-starter for poor folks.

There are many many more things wrong with Zuckerberg than wasting my (our?) attention on ragebait nothingburgers like these.

The equivalent would be not having to pay taxes if you dont earn money (or lie about it which the franchise business might be doing legally or illegally). Fortunately its quite rare to have a job that results in negative income.

Unfortunately, VAT is a consumption tax that has little to do with the company. Your gov thinks you need to pay it because you consume. Are you paying a consumption tax on investments? No that would be really dumb

I dont know a single country that doesnt allow losses to be offset from future profits. Not a single one!

It discourages investments in your country.

Ironically, any SoTA LLM would be able to make a better analogy than you. Sometimes the average human is the slop generator

If you ask me to repeat the contents of a novel I read line by line I can do it too. Is this fair use? Do I have to pay someone?

In Switzerland this fictional imputed rent is actually extremly real. We have to pay taxes as if it was earned income.

So you live in your fully owned flat, pretend to rent it to yourself and then pay income taxes on that amount. The point is your government can make this "fake" value very real.

Luckily we recently voted to abolish this tax so it will be gone in some years. This tax was introduced as an emergency measure in ww1.

I have this incredible strong urge to try to understand how our world works. I keep finding new topics in physics I just need to understand to calm this urge. Back to grinding differential geometry for me. Im long past college

Credit Cards improve your working capital position, interest free. Most people do not understand finance which is why debit cards are the "safer" choice.

Oh wow you are right, thats really bad. Terrible look for the author.

How is code being "stolen" here? It's FOSS code that is being copied.

I want the quitest fans and whether they are 10 or 20 bucks is irrelevant. We are talking about tiny amounts of money here for something thats gonna run for 5y+

That doesnt matter for the 10-k report. Its a fully consolidated financial statement. They have absolutely trash operating margins. If you look at their customers (artists and visitors) you see why

Such are reductive and superficial way of thinking on how investments works. Makes me confident you dont really are able to make a good prediction

I wont really miss taxi drivers. I guess that says a lot about them.

I vaguely remember that Appimage-based programs would fail for me because of fuse and glibc symbol version incompatibilties.

Gave up them afterwards. If I need to tweak dependencies might as well deal with the packet manager of my distro.

What exactly is broken in your tax jursidiction? My income is taxed progressivly and so is my net wealth.

Or do you mean taxes need to be even higher in general.

Credit cards are strictly better in all aspects (rewards, protection, free working capital, etc) UNLESS you are bad with money/finances.

So there is actually no good reason to use debit cards. I say this as a former user. Makes no sense at all once you think everything through.

So you are saying VC bros are defrauding Capital One shareholders?

IIRC a huge chunk of the returns comes from roughly 4% of all stocks while the rest is basically (very simplified) just earning their cost of capital.

Look you keep putting words in my mouth in a quite rude fashion.

You make this situation confusing by basically arguing against a strawman. Where did I say lenders are a homogeneous group? Where did I say that lenders dont understand risks and interest rates? Im pushing back against the prevalent notion that PEs are somehow hoodwinking lenders into constantly taking losses. Its not happening. Thats it. Feel free to show me data that proves otherwise.

If you just want to do a monologue about PEs and their shenanigans then please by all means do so but dont do it as a reply to my comment. Thank you.

PE do LBOs. Yeah. And?

I only contest the claim that lenders are the dumbasses that keep on taking losses. It's nonsense.

Despite having been a tax advisors apparently you don't understand that. That is suprising. Kinda shows that your role doesn't necessarily translate into knowledge about how companies operate.
