3. Agree, but this applies to assets depreciation too, how software is different? I understand the rest and I'm not saying it's a good law. It's just not as bad as in the example with $1,000,000 above as IMO most…
If we are considering a stable company the only problem is that you expensed more since 2017 than you would have normally done, i.e. you effectively paid less taxes over 5 years. Now you need to catch up. I admit it's…
1,000,000 Revenue - 1,000,000 Salary expense ----------- 0 Profit We are talking about an extremely lucky company if it's the first year. How many startups are able to get revenue equal to salary expenses in the first…
How you raise money doesn't make a difference. What matters is how fast you can utilize your "engineering assets". More often than not startups don't sell anything (let's say "anything" is > 20% of developers' cost) in…

Expanding recruitment won't be racist by itself, no. But going beyond what company is doing now to hire more _black_ devs would be (they didn't ask where to recruit people, so they probably have enough candidates, the…
Yeah, sure. So when I argue with Brad and he doesn't like my commit, it's because I'm ... no, not black, no, not gay, not even a woman, even if my ancestors were enslaved (quite possibly) I don't know it for sure. Hell,…
So what you are suggesting is to go beyond normal company business to recruit black developers? I.e. to give black developers an advantage over all others. That's a textbook definition of a racism, don't you think?
My point was it's not becoming more buoyant, i.e. lift can only drop when it ascends. I wouldn't argue that it can burst, but it depends on material. As an edge case it won't go to the Moon as lift will be 0 in the…
Are you sure about positive feedback? Balloon does expand, but air outside becomes thinner, so buoyancy will actually stay constant until the walls are completely unfold, and then drop as gas inside will expand less…
Create A+B integration branch, then merge in both directions, A -> A+B then A+B -> A (to pick up changes from B). Integration branch can be tested and merged to master later instead of individual branches A and B. It's…
