I actually think that the tax treatment differs as well - the 2 months free can be treated as a marketing expense, whereas the reduced rent simply results in the lower revenue.

For financed buildings it also keeps the nominal value of the building at the same level - it's still technically "rented" for the same rate, keeping future cash flow projected the same.

Yeah, the “enterprise” product lineage is more Live Communicator -> Office Communicator -> Lync -> Skype for Business (kinda direct link to, even though it’s SaaS only) -> Teams

Well, they may export crude, but without refinery capacity they are probably capped at the rate they can produce usable product.

How is that an enormous dose? The recommendation is 2x200mg every 4-6h. When doing competitive athletics, I probably took 1-3g of “vitamin I” a day.

600mg a day is barely above a single dose.

I think I'd be willing to pay more to offset higher content costs for more theater/blockbuster type movies. If Netflix was say 14.99 instead, I wonder what that would do to help? Perhaps splitting the content between tiers? It would shrink their "user base" for the purposes of streaming, allowing higher per-user payments on a title-by-title basis.

Sad part is, I know they are trying to lower that amount, and show that content providers need them as much/more than Netflix needs their content, but as a consumer, I'd like the options.

That works until you get into anything complicated. Recently, I had a spreadsheet that our finance team built that provided different calculated values (for a multi table aggregation, nothing simple for sure) on Excel Windows and Excel OS X. This is not an uncommon problem - I've seen it a handful of times. Excel for OS X is at about 90+% parity with Excel for Windows.

This only bites you occasionally, but when you are a spreadsheet driven org (e.g. Finance groups in a company) you often need the performance/top-end feature set of Excel for Windows.

Realistically, these are all the same thing in different manners - dissolving a business, and starting another immediately competing in the same space, which seems shockingly sensible to me.

Yeah, I remembered that wasn't the right pairing after I wrote that (and thankfully ours weren't paired like that, we had the right names); but that also goes to show you the downside of that particular naming scheme - it requires additional knowledge in a specific domain.

I used to run a dual stack app, windows was Roman mythology, linux was Greek, that allowed us to keep roles straight across environments - apollo/hermes, athena/minerva, etc.

This is technically true for MOST taxes in the USA. Generally municipalities have reciprocal agreements with each other, but when tax is fixed at a state or municipality level, you generally are supposed to file proof of tax payment in the location of purchase, and that is then generally applied as a credit against any tax burden imposed on the place of use. A perfect example is income tax in the US if you work in one state, but reside in another.

It's inefficient, but how else would a local tax scheme be at all enforceable?

I think it's a fine line- I'm not in finance, but from what I understand you want some incentive to purchase a new issue as you have a set target of shares you're trying to move. I think that doubling in price is a bad thing, but I don't think movement of a few dollars per share is necessarily a bad thing.
