You don’t need an LLC to do this. Just filing a Schedule C will do.
Google usually does certificate pinning. They know that the CA root store is not to be trusted to sign for their own domains.

The word “my” is doing some work here. Maybe you personally have been lucky, but Meta has had quite a few data breaches.

Re:Tesla takes on $30B in credit as it approaches unprofitability on Wednesday September 30, 2026 @02:03AM (#49904973)
Brakes! They sometimes rust on Teslas due to lack of use.
I believe that for every joule of electricity used, 4 or 4.1 joules are pumped from the environment into the water. This is contrast to conventional water heaters which are bounded by an efficiency of 1, where, for example, burning gas directly heats the water with some heat leaking into the environment instead of the water.

When the Mexican government signed up for NSO’s spyware, who did they target? A woman who was working to pass a sugar sweetened beverage tax. And her children.
They don’t support any recent rsync protocol, so there’s no 64bit timestamp support, so you can never actually sync metadata across newer filesystems.
I’d guess because most don’t correctly account for wear and tear and depreciation of their car when they do their mental profit calculation.

Support for Trump, or even Republicans writ large, means support for reducing taxes (both estate and income) on the wealthy, while increasing them on consumers (via tariffs). Musk has been an ardent supporter of Trump.

Re:A Faster Alternative to Jq on Friday March 27, 2026 @06:03AM (#47540800)
Having the equivalent jq expression in these examples might help to compare expressiveness, and it might help me see if jq could “just” use a DFA when a (sub)query admits one. grep, ripgrep, etc change algorithms based on the query and that makes the speed improvements automatic.
Re:How to defer US taxes on Thursday March 19, 2026 @06:33PM (#47447325)
If I have X dollars and get taxed such that I have X * T after the taxing, say T = (1 - .20), then I invest and that money grows by a factor, say G = (1 + .50), over the years, then in the mean time inflation hits and reduces my money by a factor, say I = (1 - .10), so that what I end up with in the end is F = X * G * T * I. If instead I invested and grew and inflated and then got taxed, X * G * I * T, it would be exactly the same. Multiplication is commutative.

What you are doing by delaying taxes is hoping you have a lower rate later. Say you make less in retirement or die untaxed and your kids get a step up in basis. But without a change in rate (which might go up even), there’s no difference.

You are joking, right? Project 2025 has achieved 50% of its goals in record time[0]. Trump disavowed both it and invading Iran, but make no mistake. Both were “the plan”.

Re:There Is an AI Code Review Bubble on Monday January 26, 2026 @02:00PM (#46769987)
I fully agree. Claude’s review comments have been 50% useful, which is great. For comparison I have almost never found a useful TeamScale comment (classic static analyzer). Even more important, half of Claude’s good finds are orthogonal to those found by other human reviewers on our team. I.e. it points out things human reviewers miss consistently and v.v.

For this model to be convincing, you would need to explain the motivation for the pension funds loaning the 90% that then goes to zero. They are repeat investors after all. As are the PE firms.

Are they getting kickbacks? That would be straight up illegal, but it would make the most sense.

The machine (AirSense 11) has been a god send for me. I can’t believe I waited so long. I haven’t slept a night without it since my first. I haven’t had to tweak any settings. It’s just worked. Sure it’s annoying to travel with, and you look odd while wearing it, but deep sleep is so worth it.
The name of the project is a reference to P. G. Wodehouse[0] for those unaware.
