You just rephrased the passage I quoted. How does using this money for humanitarian purposes prevent them from using other money for a different purpose?
It does not. If you enforce 0/0=1, then you end up in a situation where you can prove any two numbers are equal to each other and you end up with a useless system, so we do not allow for that.
e.g. 0=0*2 -> 0/0 = (0/0)*2 -> 1=1*2 -> 1=2
If you get into calculus though, you'll have ways to deal with this to some extent using limits.
I'm asking about US taxes.
You're missing out. It's one of the few books I've read and I've thoroughly enjoyed it.
So I can understand how this works. Or at least give me something specific I can google that isn't the entire tax code.
I do do my own taxes, but they're Canadian taxes, so they don't work the same way.
In what scenario would that happen? Can you give an example with numbers?
An explanation of how it financially benefits them would be helpful.
The way I see it, charity with tax write-offs basically allow you to decide where your tax money goes at a small cost. If you pay it to the government, then they decide for you. So why not make the choice yourself and have that money fund things you actually care about?
IMO, it's probably easier to write a lot of stuff without a framework if you're working by yourself. But once you have a team, and especially if that team has any kind of turnover, it becomes way harder. Frameworks come with various conventions and a fixed set of abstractions that everyone using said framework will be familiar with, and that makes it much easier to onboard a new dev.
Do they even have the technology to invade your privacy the same way we do in the more developed parts of the world?
I appreciate the content, but could you not post everything in one go? I'd like to see some more variety on my home page. Thanks.
Right, so I don't understand what you were trying to get at with your initial comment. Sounds like we're in agreement here.
