That’s not what being surjective means. Maybe you mean it’s not injective?

> Likewise, in the US you cannot (legally) shelter your income by declaring it to be foreign income, as you can in most European countries.

Not sure what you mean, most European countries tax residents on worldwide income. You certainly can’t just declare income as foreign and be done with it. Some countries (notably UK) had loopholes for non-domiciled residents but they are being closed now.

The breaks change the game more than you’d think, especially when the coach gets to have a strategy session with the whole team. Completely changed the momentum in several games.

You'd calculate return on investment based on invested capital, not on expenses, so this does not follow.

They are not even trying to hide it anymore.

Yes this reads like vacuous AI slop and and the **randomly bolded** text everywhere is a **dead giveaway**. At this point it's becoming a stronger signal than em-dashes.

Home ownership is and would continue be taxed in box 1, so that’s not even superficially the reason for carving out real estate.

Box 3 on real estate only come in play for home 2+, and rental properties.

Border guard was wrong. UK used passenger records from transport companies to determine when someone left the country, not face recognition.

They do however use face recognition when you take a domestic flight from an international terminal. Then they take a photo of you just before security and compare that when you board. To me this seems like an overly complex solution to a problem that would normally by solved by having a domestic section of the terminal, but I’m sure they had their reasons.

I’d say all (useful) software is modelling some domain.

Something like ten years ago Facebook messenger would by default add the user’s location to every message visible to the recipient. And even worse, unless you disabled this feature, it would give away the distance from you to all your contacts, even ones you had never even had a conversation with. In real time, so someone could easily use it to triangulate you. Meta is a very creepy company.

I believe most, if not all, European countries tax residents on worldwide employment and capital income.
