I saw someone who mantained the legal speed limit and safe following distance.

Targeted layoffs are tricky to pull off. You can be sued for wrongful dismissal and then you need to show you were not targeting that person by anything other than random. You can easially lay off everyone on a project. Anything where you select individuals is risky if they can somehow argue you choose them because of some status (minority or whatever - even white male is not a status you can dismiss someone on) . Don't get me wrong, companies lay off part of a department all the time - but they would prefer to not do that.

Even if someone quits from a department you don't want to lose people from, you can just transfer an employee from a different department that didn't lose enough people. So this is good enough and someone who quits cannot sue.

Also if someone quits they cannot collect unemployment. Generally governments track how often a company lays off employees and charges higher unemployment rates to those who lay off more people so getting people to quit saves you here too.

The market does tend to overreact so this is possible a sign to buy low. I can't be bothered to check the fundamenals but it seems unlikely that amd is a better investment long term. If you are not looking at least 5 years to the future stocks are a bad idea.

same thing, they are lakely to audit them and see if they are being used to cheat. You can use them but either count everything as a gift or have good records that whatever isn't a going to whoever.

Don't try to cheat the government. make sure you can say either you reported the large gift for tax purposes or the total is under 18k., if you must cheat you can take them on vecation and they use your gear for free but the plane ticket, meals and anything that could look like a gift is under the limit.

tax fraud is something the irs takes serously and you never know when they look. Plus you are not sympathetic to a jury so prison is likely for you.

if you give anyone more than 10k in a year (well under the limit) have your accountant deliver it all so there is plenty of evidence that you are not cheating. If you want to give over 18k have your accountant figure out how to do withholding so you friends don't have a tax surprise.

Still some good advice, like where to find the lawyer you will need.

The courts will see right through that and make your friends pay taxes on what they consider reasonable rent. You just hope there is no audit.

i can't wait for the day content is there. I always look there first but too often I can't find anything close to what I want.

At least you can get out.

inflation is a thing and so all unlimited time fixed price contracts are suspect.

ai has been doing that trick since the 1950s. There have been a lot of use coming out of ai, but it has never been called ai once successful and never lived up to the early hype. some in the know about all those previous ones were surprised by the hype and not surprised about where it has gone, while others pushed the hype.

The details have changed but nothing else.

Nobody today is not coming to my house. However the world has not always changed in ways I like. If the media companies want to make an example of somebody they might randomly pick me. If I have physical media they will not be able to convince the general public I'm a dishonest thief and so even though I might be legally in the wrong for ripping DVDs they will stay away: they are going to look for someone who they can make look like a dishonest thief in the court of public opinion. They are not looking to take me to court and win whatever damaged they are owned from my activity (it will cost them about 100 times as much $$$ in lawyers fees - they would probably win but it isn't worth it), what they would be looking for is to make an example in the news about how much someone loses and if I have physical media they instead look like jerks for enforcing a law on something that the generally public wouldn't even call a crime.

I store the discs because while ripping is of questional legallity by having the discs I have the morals right.
