Frankly no, it doesn’t re-flow them so the text will often be too small. Quite a massive oversight and no one really talks about it.

In modern monetary policy, income tax is used as a deflationary measure and our government is funded by the fed.

You can just skip all this: create a landing page with a “Coming Soon” mock-up and sign up form.

Buy some ads, tweet and then wait to see if it’s worth working on.

I believe that white collar crime deserves the harshest punishment of all. It’s committed by intelligent people, premeditated and generally abuses a position of trust.

I've prototype on a collab notebook and have been using AWS GPUs for training. Having to jump through hoops for quota and the general anxiety in trying to optimize the costs led me to just build a machine with a 1-time upfront cost. As a sole proprietor, I can write off the capex against future revenue anyways and depreciate it.

Dope, 7 days is a pretty nice turnaround. I went with a 'custom' prebuilt so I could plan for adding additional cards once they're well supplied. You might run into trouble with the PSU, case clearance and mobo throughput if you plan on adding another 3-slot 3090 - those are all sub-1k though so you can always swap once you need to!

I just went this route to build a ML workstation. I was able to get a prebuilt with a 3090 for ~30% of a comparable build on https://lambdalabs.com/.

Now I just need to wait until next year to get the second 3090. I considered waiting for the new A4000s to launch to see if they'd have better inventory but figured 3090s have additional value as a gaming gpu.

I'd be curious how professional ML folks are fairing and what they're using -- it's not too late to cancel my build.

I believe the IRS would investigate many small donations under the gift tax. An analogy would be restaurant servers claiming their tips as gifts and thus not disclosing it as income.

I’m sure there are clauses to avoid abusing gift tax as a loop hole for providing a service.

Also just bought the same model, hoping to replace a terrible Whirlpool.

The stock is counted as income when it is exercised. The basis is the strike price then, once you sell later it’s considered either capital gain or loss. My understanding is that you can only apply 3000 in capital loses to income tax liability.

That’s not a great analogy.

Apple sells a computer with an extra Siri service. You return it and they resell to another consumer who has the option to purchase the Siri package.

Seems reasonable to me.

You can purchase real time data streams for relatively cheap (200/month) from many companies, even exchanges themselves.

I’m actually building something similar for my own options trading and was eventually going to spin it into a SaaS.

(Thanks got your reply!) Also other drawbacks: lack of http/2, couldn’t configure mtls from cloudflare to avoid someone going around the waf

I wanted to point my root domain (hosted by Google) to the Heroku app DNS target. I was able to solve this by using Cloudflare instead, with flattening.
