I think you miss the elephant in the room as to why one does S-Corp or LLC. To prevent someone sueing you into oblivion. And I did S-Corp because LLC's used to not provide good multi-state protection. I think now they do.
So let me get this straight. You think it is just as bad for the DNC to pay a former BRITISH spy for oppo research as it is for Trump's son and son in law to pay RUSSIAN spy's for oppo research?
Except teachers have been neutered. I asked a friend who teaches how he handles someone that won't stop texting during class. He said he asks for their phone, they probably refuse. Then he can have security come and remove the kid to the VP. The VP then will often return the kid, with the phone back to class with the message we will handle it later. I was in shock. He said the parents complain when a students phone is taken even though it is returned at the end of class. Personally I think schools should deploy those jammers during class. Problem solved.
Normally I'd agree with you and normally I'd never buy one. BUT, I've got mag shocks in a car and saw they are like 1200/pr. I got an extended warranty for around 1.6K that covered the shocks along with almost everything else. 2 months out of manufacturer warranty the rear diff went. The extended warranty covered it. 4K with labor. Paid for the extended warranty and then some and I still have a couple years left on the extended. First one I have ever bought (and this is like my 10th car) and I am normally anything but lucky. But yes I still recommend to people not to get the warranty.
getting the reports from marketing after they had paid a contractor to go take a competitors training class. If the corporate crown jewels can be stolen by taking a tour, yikes how far tech has fallen.
Maybe maybe not. According to status.pr, 70% of banks are open. Probably running on diesel gens, as power is still at 23%. Good news is hospitals with power are up to 49, 4 more than a week ago. I know the US shipped a large amount of bills to PR because bills were about all stores could handle. Even CC's did not work. I imagine if CC's are not working, neither is bitcoin.
Gold does have innate value. It is a rare metal with many desirable qualities. An excellent conductor, does not oxidize. Satellites use a bunch of it. That computer your using to put in the above comment uses a trivial amount of it. Certain other electronics use it. We could also be talking about platinum or palladium or any number of other rare metals. Even the copper penny ain't so much copper any more because the value of the penny melted down (assuming pure copper) is worth more than than a penny. Silver also is now not used in coinage because the innate value exceeds the value of the coin.
On my old nexus 4, I can set the backlight level quite low (turn off the auto backlight mode) so that it works well in the dark. I'm not sure you need the great dynamic range of OLED for reading in the dark.
Teachers are paid ok. Let them teach is the problem. Friend teaches. The kids run the class. He would be non-renewed if he sent too many disruptive kids to the vice principle. They have 3 security guards full time roaming waiting for fights to break out. I saw a story about a sub who duct taped a few kids mouth shut. I am positive they deserved it. But of course the sub got canned that day. And parents are just as bad. I recall when I was in school my parents backed the teacher. I did not dare get in trouble. Now the ax murderer student's parents justify the kid killing the teacher.
Hopefully this marks the beginning of requiring a pin for a CC transaction. As a question, at costco, the CC card can be processed before everything is scanned. I thought the transaction required the total before a chip charge could be processed. Is this not true?
I found http://status.pr/ and it shows 70 hospitals operational, 45 with power. So 25 are running on generators I guess. Still looks very bad with only 13% with power and about 1/2 the cell towers up. Water seems to be getting better though at 72%, but I am sure the 28% without water are pretty desperate. Unimaginable. Interesting the post office is almost fully operational.
Unfortunately many of the PR hospitals were non-operational. Even with backup generators, they had trouble getting fuel to run them. I am not sure if they are all back up yet. I suspect not since the island is still without power in most places and road access to deliver fuel is still spotty.
Will not work. I recently replaced the seals in my polaris booster pump. I watched a couple utubs. They were helpful up until the bolts were frozen on the case, the old seal was a mf to get out, the new seal did not drop in like they showed either. All in all the utube was like 4 minutes long and looked trivial. I spent 4 hours doing it. I've found this to be true of most of the plumbing stuff I've done. In theory it is easy, but having the prior experience to know just how to hit the old seal to dislodge or how to break away a bolt takes practice.
What I am suggesting is much like the city imposed a new drainage fee to ALL residents because new construction caused more flooding, maybe the time has come to make the new guy bear the cost for the problem they create. As to size, I'm suggesting that the size of the cistern offset the additional runoff of the construction. For a typical 2500 sq ft house in Austin, I am guessing that is around 50K gallons. And yes that is a big cistern. We can get a foot of water in a day with some regularity.
And really not that much either. Austin just blew 163 million on a flood control tunnel for downtown. One tunnel. Another factor the article may not have covered is impervious cover. The more development you have the more concrete that covers soil that previously soaked up rain. Austin is kind of a drought/flood area. I've wondered after living here awhile if maybe building codes should be changed so a cistern of say 50K gallons is required for new houses. This would absorb huge amounts of water during heavy rains and then provide irrigation water when dry.
Yeppers, I remember traffic school many many years ago and a guy was there because he was not exceeding the speed limit and slowing down traffic. He asked the instructor and basically the instructor said it was no win. There is one law that says you should keep up with the flow of traffic and another that says don't exceed the speed limit.
Actually, you do. Two lungs, kidneys, arms, hands along with many other redundant self healing systems in the human body. As to whether GM or Tesla has better self drive software, time will tell. I think neither will hit level 5 anytime soon.
Perhaps if the US just got rid of the Jones Act... Fuel would be cheaper along with everything else. What the Jones Act has done to PR is made mainland shipping companies richer and PR poorer. I don't know if solar/wind would be cheaper overall for PR, they get a great deal of both, but at least get rid of the big Jones anchor around them. I can see one problem with solar/wind is when the next hurricane hits, the panels are going to be destroyed along with any turbine blades. That must be factored into the cost of wind/solar.
Ah, but you are excluding the cost of maintaining the roads, excluding (as far as I know) every manufacturer is losing or at best not making a profit on the electrics. Also when you did your calculation did you add back the federal incentive in your cost calc? That is 7500 and would buy alot of gas. The problem is if everyone buys an electric, there cannot be a 7500 rebate, there has to be some way to maintain roads (probably by a 5c/mile tax on your electric) and manufacturers have to make a profit as there are no ICE's to subsidize the electrics. Add it all up, I think it will take longer than predicted to go total electric. Even your volt has an ICE for longer trips and kicks in for extra power on hard acceleration. I like the volt's and the basic idea of the volt. A friend has one. But I see a day where something has to give on for road tax and the 7500 is going away probably around next year as GM hits the 200K vehicle limit. Even the current gas tax is insufficient to maintain roads due to inflation/better mileage ICE's. I hope some smart state starts to do the tax/mile and phase it in.
A drug company does something amoral I think wow, no one can stoop lower than that, they always surprise me and do. I hope all these major execs get a MRSA bug and just die.

Ah, I'm glad someone pointed out ground loops. I find if you want to hit a 80-90 db SNR in the room, the ground noise can be the challenge.
To me one of the greatest ironies of today is on SNL, the singers lip sync for the most part and the actors doing skits sing live.

Easy the incentive was an existing NUMA factory that was vacant. They got it basically for free. And Elon lives in CA, so convenient for him.

Huh, I thought we had already been there a couple of times last century. Or was that fake news too?
