Every line in init.el is something that you have to maintain and move with you.

And when you're using someone else's computer, their init.el won't be what you expect.

Folks who lend money against stock insist on being repaid. (In fact, they typically have the right to sell the stock to be repaid.) The money to replay was taxed. (It comes from salaries and/or stock sales. Borrowing more to repay previous loans just kicks the can down the road.)

How is "They were almost certainly transported via unchecked northward migration of people and animals." a consequence of loss of trust in science?

Actually, you can yell "fire" if there is a fire.

Note that the "can't yell fire" quote comes from a decision involving folks who were distributing pamphlets opposing the WWI draft. It was written by Holmes, who also wrote "three generations of idiots are enough" to justify a eugenics law, in a case that didn't involve any idiots.

Moreover, the "fire" decision was overturned by Brandenberg v Ohio.

Depreciation is a tax thing. While it is supposed to track useful life, it almost never does.

For example, houses are depreciated on a 28-year schedule. I'm typing this from a house built in 1902....

Google has yet to decommission any of its Trilliums, and the V1s shipped in 2015.

The prices to rent V2 (2017) and later are on https://cloud.google.com/tpu/pricing .

And if it works, I'll wonder why microsoft doesn't make the ubuntu button use terminal.

Are AIs?

However, the shell for WSL2 runs in a window that grabs things, such as ^V.

So, ssh from WSL2 (to AWS for example) is awkward. For exampl, Emacs on the AWS box is almost unusable.

DVDs and even video tape are relatively recent.

Hollywood was a lot less risk averse before DVDs and video tape. Heck, Hollywood was less risk averse before TV became mainstream.

Not even close. As your link shows, "the wealthy" pay taxes on long-term capital gains. The lowest rate (for "the wealthy") is 15% but they can owe 20% or even 28% in certain circumstances.

IIRC, California taxes that $1.1M as ordinary income.

Section 50303(c)(3)(C) says "For any interests that confer voting or other direct control rights, the percentage of the business entity owned by the taxpayer shall be presumed to be not less than the taxpayer's percentage of the overall voting or other direct control rights."

Section (D) says that the tax applies to earnable profit-percentage even if the prerequisites for said earn haven't occurred.

However, there are a bunch of private unicorns whose founders are subject to the tax even though their ownership is well under $1B.

See Section 50303(c)(3)(C) quoted above.
