"In Minecraft" doesn't mean what it used to. When somebody wrote an 8-bit CPU literally "in Minecraft" it used to be badass. Now it's just a game addon.
Can't they just compete in separate categories? People have been making high-level computer mods years before even ComputerCraft, RedPower, or OpenComputers existed. And people will continue to make pure-redstone computers far into the future. Neither category is replacing the other :)
Loans against unrealized gains should just be taxed directly as income. Not indirectly creating more loopholes. Same way stock buybacks should be taxed at the same rate as short term capital gains.
Yes let's encourage more risky behavior! Absolutely braindead takes.
This sort of proposal would establish a minimum 35 % return in any project. Thus halting investment entirely
Let's put this in perspective. I'm currently going to collaterize a few hundred thousand in equity to take a loan to develop homes in my very housing short city of Portland. My calculated return is 40%. This is an excellent return..
It this were taxed then my initial loan would have to be 40% larger which means all my profit would go into paying that back, which means this project never gets done.
You are already going to get the money once the homes are sold and the capital gains are realized. Why is everyone so greedy? You essentially want to tax twice
The point is you should realize your gains before you reinvest the money. Circular borrowing causes asset bubbles. You could collateralize against OTHER assets, but unrealized gains you should be paying taxes on if you are borrowing against them. It's really just closing a loophole. If the loophole is BIG enough, the you could lower the rate for everyone!
2008 was literally people getting mortgages on unrealized gains, and then getting more loans. Even if the market wouldn't support the sale, they borrow against it and then get another load and causing an asset bubble. Its not ancient history.
My issue is singling out stocks for this. Try telling people they're laying taxes on their heloc and that this is now income so their 300k heloc cash out now puts them in the highest tax bracket! Good luck
Of course people taking out equity cash for investments are actually putting the money for productive use.
How about there's no capital gains tax on equity if it's rolled into another investment of any kind. Eliminate the like kind nonsense. Tax only consumption income.
Im building more homes in a market lacking homes where no outside group wants to invest. If you're building more homes on your property, by all means. No one is though and people are being priced out.
Just to be clear: you think you deserve a tax break for becoming a for-profit landlord? Isn’t the money you’re going to make by renting the homes sufficient incentive? Why should you also get a tax break?
my m1 max macbook pro 14 has small little divots out of the edge on the right side (not on the left) presuambly because of where my wrist sits when using the track pad. It would be nice it there was some radius on it to not cause that.
did they ever add #define? bridging constants from the build system to swift with static NSString * const kConstValue = @XSTR(CONST_VALUE); is soooo annoying.
Only integers for #defines in C-headers, enabled with a recent-ish compiler flag. Swift has a #define but it’s just an ifdef list of flags assigned to one compiler setting.
But you can bridge build setting variables using some clever xcconfig macros that combine both preprocessor systems.
nodejs itself doesn't have very many breakages; i have plenty of code that is unchanged from 0.12 to 24. npm is a whole other kettle of fish but I don't think you can blame the core project for the sins of everyone that publishes to the package manager. Python2 -> Python3 on the other hand had a lot of breakage in "standard" code.
Yeah, I get the reaction. It's not JavaScript, it's simply a way to reference a matcher for the value, not match against literal value. You can totally use your custom matcher like this:
A non-terrible MDM that actually works would be really nice. The rest I doubt they get much traction on. Gmail is too easy, Google docs and sheets if you don't need Microsoft is also way better than Apple's free apps.
They’ve had a MDM solution for a number of years now, i’ve not used it because the price was higher than I could afford so I can’t speak to if it actually works or how it is compared to their competitors.
I can say that the MDM solution I went with leaves a lot to be desired, but it works and it’s cheap. Since I’m only managing iPads, I really wanted to go with Apple for the simplicity, but, like I said, the price was too high (at the time at least).
That's because it is a complex and messy problem. Especially MDMs that try to unify the experience for fundamentally different platforms like Apple's and Google's, and even Microsoft's. I think if it's a platform-dedicated solution it actually does have the chance to be much easier to operate. So this thing by Apple looks interesting.
I would expect Apple to actually simplify the problem and not overreach and just do activation / provisioning / deactivation / lock and none of the other stuff MDMs try to do that introduces the complexity.
