That’s not what being surjective means. Maybe you mean it’s not injective?

> Likewise, in the US you cannot (legally) shelter your income by declaring it to be foreign income, as you can in most European countries.

Not sure what you mean, most European countries tax residents on worldwide income. You certainly can’t just declare income as foreign and be done with it. Some countries (notably UK) had loopholes for non-domiciled residents but they are being closed now.

The breaks change the game more than you’d think, especially when the coach gets to have a strategy session with the whole team. Completely changed the momentum in several games.

To make it even more interesting, in npm ^ works differently depending on what version you are on

Case in point.

You'd calculate return on investment based on invested capital, not on expenses, so this does not follow.

They are not even trying to hide it anymore.

Yes this reads like vacuous AI slop and and the **randomly bolded** text everywhere is a **dead giveaway**. At this point it's becoming a stronger signal than em-dashes.

Home ownership is and would continue be taxed in box 1, so that’s not even superficially the reason for carving out real estate.

Box 3 on real estate only come in play for home 2+, and rental properties.

Border guard was wrong. UK used passenger records from transport companies to determine when someone left the country, not face recognition.

They do however use face recognition when you take a domestic flight from an international terminal. Then they take a photo of you just before security and compare that when you board. To me this seems like an overly complex solution to a problem that would normally by solved by having a domestic section of the terminal, but I’m sure they had their reasons.

I’d say all (useful) software is modelling some domain.

Something like ten years ago Facebook messenger would by default add the user’s location to every message visible to the recipient. And even worse, unless you disabled this feature, it would give away the distance from you to all your contacts, even ones you had never even had a conversation with. In real time, so someone could easily use it to triangulate you. Meta is a very creepy company.

Agreed that it makes no sense to restrict that kind of road to 30km/h, but to be fair most cities that have moved to 30km/h would have excluded that road. Even Amsterdam left the main throughfares at 50km/h: https://www.amsterdam.nl/30-km-u-in-de-stad/

Maybe I’m missing something but then what is 30 days after Christmas? 25389?

I believe most, if not all, European countries tax residents on worldwide employment and capital income.

> Especially on the discounters here in EU (especially Ryanair / Easyjet), i'm the only one in the non-priority queue, everyone else is in the priority queue. This used to of course not be the case; you paid extra and was in first. Now i'm usually in before 2/3th of the prio queue. Which is just weird.

That’s because the ”priority” queue for those carriers is really a ”paid for a proper carry on”-queue. But the airlines realised that they could brand it as a priority queue to make the upcharge to bring a bag more palatable. You’re not spending €40 just to bring a bag that used to be included in the ticket, you also get to feel more important. At least the first time until you realise 2/3rds of the plane is also important.

Interesting, never heard of this service being provided here (EU), not even sure it would be legal, but makes sense. Apparently they get the information from credit card/mortage applications.

The overemployed crowd is two steps ahead though: https://old.reddit.com/r/overemployed/comments/10el4ll/remov...

What kind of background check would reveal all previous employers? Where I’m from a background check usually consists of checking one or two (candidate provided) references and possibly googling their name for red flags.

MacOS developers have solved this problem pretty neatly:

Yeah I understand where you're coming from. I'm just saying that the tax authorities might not see it that way, and you can end up in really tricky situations unless you have sveral layers that cover you from responsibility. Hence my recommendation to keep the company structure simple even if it means more bureaucracy.

Be really careful with this unless you know what you’re doing. Setting up a foreign entity that only collects revenue and pays royalties is a known trick and will be looked at very closely by tax inspectors. Worst case they will consider the foreign entity artificial and tax it as if it was a local company.

My recommendation would be to keep things simple with a local company, and start worrying about complex structures once you have enough revenue for it to make sense.

would be some very wishful reading!

Let's say you are looking for the closest gas station. One that is in the close corner of a "diagonal neighbour" would be closer than most points in the "edge neighbours". So if you want to find something nearby, you'd usually want to look at all 8 neighbours. The hexagonal neighbours look more like a circle centered in the original hexagon, thus more convenient for that purpose.

Obviously does not follow. It’s like saying that torrential rains that flood your home are actually a good thing, because having no rain at all would be worse. Most things are best in moderation.

I’m sorry, but that is an issue on your end.

By that standard 45 out of 50 states are also getting it wrong, since those arguments apply equally to sales tax as VAT.

Yes, for example https://comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/publications/94-124.php

But US companies can get sales tax exemptions, no? And these exemptions serve the same purpose as VAT refunds.

Exactly, and in the US no sales tax is prepaid? So there is nothing to return upon export.

You seem to be saying that having a tax that is refunded gives a different result than not having the tax at all, which sounds like nonsense to me.
