zstd had a data corruption bug until quite recently. Eventually it may supplant
gzip as the de facto standard, but it's too soon to declare it better in every objective way. Give it time.
Cleaning and organizing the house. Decluttering, identifying the right place for all our stuff, keeping it here. Scrubbing, wiping surfaces. Washing, folding, putting away laundry. Sweeping and vacuuming floors. Cleaning and organizing the yard. Pulling weeds, avoiding them in the first place. Pruning and maintaining plants. Planning, building, and maintaining landscape elements. Collecting and disposing yard waste. Cleaning gutters. Cooking. Cleaning the dishes. Deciding what to cook for dinner given what's in the fridge and pantry. Meal planning
THIS. This is what HomeJoy was supposed to be. Million dollar lawyers who don't understand business law??? How does that work??? During "IT" HomeJoy could have really made it's mark and cemented it's place amongst the SuperZips.
The article poses the question but doesn't try to answer it. There are some plausible sounding answers here in the comments. Mostly that it is cheaper to do it that way. But wouldn't that be true elsewhere too?
I suspect a lot of it is down to consumer preference. Americans seem to favour big houses as a kind of absolute priority. If you’ve decided upfront that the house must be 3000sqft, then it will either be really expensive, or cheaply built. And Americans are more okay than most with the style of very low density remote suburban development that makes really big houses feasible.
How is it possible for the tax liability to exceed the profit? The article mentions wash sales, but it doesn't explain what sequence of such trades can cause this situation.
The loss of the wash sale is added to the basis of the next purchase. You would still be taxed on a gain of $100 in that scenario.
The nasty case is if you buy X at $100, sell at $1000, buy at $1000, wash sell at $100, then buy at $100.
You have $900 in gains according to the wash sale rule but no actual gains. Your basis in X is $1000, so you would have no gain if you sold at the current price, but if you hold it until the end of the tax year, then you owe taxes on $900 despite not making anything.
Would it be safer to close out out potential wash-sale positions by end of November, instead of end of year?
I imagine a situation where you sell everything of Stock A on Dec 20 realizing all losses, and then mistakenly rebuy back on Jan 10. Now all your loss for previous year is disallowed and you have no way to fix it? Even if you immediately sell the loss would count for the current tax year, and not previous tax year, right?
This is not how it works under the wash sale rule. In your example, the $900 loss would be added to the cost base when doing the second purchase. Because of that, the sell at $1100 will have a cost base of $1000.
The parent mentioned "This data is being collected anyway via endpoint technologies like Samsung's Automated Content Recognition (ACR)". If that's true then the encryption isn't really helping.
Samsung was one of the companies caught using their apps to scrape data out of the filesystem (config files and logs from other apps, location from camera roll, etc) and using it to bypass permissions you didn't want to give them.
They are completely terrible on privacy, lol, the answer here is "if you care about privacy don't use a samsung". Or more generally "don't use android".
I'm not really sure what you are getting at. Regardless of what Samsung is doing, I'm confused by the argument that encryption is useless because Samsung might take steps to work around it when not using a Samsung device is a viable option.
Samsung has below-root-level access on their phones, their apps are fundamentally aggressive towards your privacy (as repeatedly demonstrated in practice) and impossible to dig out without a complete image replacement. Maybe not even then.
If you care about privacy, you don't buy Samsung phones (or other products like TVs). They are the tip of the spear on data collection.
They're required to let you choose whether to opt in to ACR in Europe because of the GDPR. While the prompt is terribly vague and designed to encourage "just hit yes" behaviour, I have a q60r and the setup wizard at least presented a prompt I could opt out of.
Also while HN likes to raise the spectre of TVs connecting to open wifi/shipping with 5G radios, at the moment there is no evidence for either so users could always use a trusted device to play back Netflix rather than the TV app and leave the TV without internet
Yes this is how I use it and I love it. I think some IDEs havee similar capability but for vim users cscope is an great way to understand large code bases by quickly jumping through callchains. There's a 'Using Cscope with Vim' tutorial on the page that covers it.
