If you have a Stellantis product make sure to get the key lockdown flash done. If not thieves can just program a new key to your car and drive off with it in under a minute (My car was stolen twice this way). Initially the flash was only available for Challengers and Chargers which made Trackhawk's and TRX's even more of a target.

Hi Tile Ceo,

I was able to track down my stolen vehicle with the help of Tile and now put them hidden in all my vehicles since they don't alert like an Air Tag does.


Glad to hear that! If you are up for it, can you email me - chris@life360.com - I'd love to learn more about your story


I've been taking 5,000 IU daily for 5 years. Got bloodwork done last month and I was at 63.7ng/mL, so I will cut back now to ~2,000/day especially with summer coming around. 5 years ago I was at 14ng/mL and the supplement seems to have helped my energy levels, gut health and immune system.


I think they mean the 3 doses (dosages) as in 5, 10 and 15mL


I'm on Comcast, can't even access Down Detector. Lots of websites seem down.


Moderate drinking is good for you?


Simply not true, no amount of alcohol is good for you.

See: https://podcastnotes.org/huberman-lab/episode-86-what-alcoho...

Not saying everyone should be sober 100% all the time (I drink occasionally myself), but there are much safer and more fun alternatives (med dose psilocybin etc.)


Those living in "blue zones" would disagree, and they live longer than anyone.

Other than a single line asserting reduced cortisol levels, that article provides no evidence for causation over correlation.


It certainly shows alcohol isn’t the limiting factor. Anyone could change any number of things to be as healthy as those folks, but for whatever reason academics instead insist alcohol is the problem.

If the best software engineers in the role all consistently use rubber duck debugging, it may not be the case that rubber duck debugging is what makes them the best software engineers in the world, but it’d take a whole lot more evidence than some academic on a podcast saying “rubber duck debugging is harmful to software engineers” to convince me it isn’t at least worth a shot.


That's because there is a lot of evidence that alcohol is bad for you.

I don't know who is saying it's "THE" problem, but it definitely isn't A solution.


Then surely millions people in east asian countries like Japan or Korea sitting at top of highest life expectency table having drinking rooted in their culture are anamoly.

Edit: Billions if you add China to that list.


Cops can murder you without any consequences for having psilocybin though.


I was wondering that but I'm not sure if this has something to do with gut microbes which moderate drinking benefits due to the fermentation process. I think eating fermented food is really good for you. Could be wrong.

They are taking 27%, between that and processing fees you might as well use In App Purchases.

"Apple’s commission will be 27% on proceeds you earn from sales (“transactions“) to the user for digital goods or services on your website after a link out (i.e., they tap “Continue” on the system disclosure sheet), provided that the sale was initiated within seven days and the digital goods or services can be used in an app. This includes (a) any applicable taxes and (b) any adjustments for refunds, reversals and chargebacks. For auto-renewing subscriptions, (i) a sale initiated, including with a free trial or offer, within seven days after a link out is a transaction; and (ii) each subsequent auto-renewal after the subscription is initiated is also a transaction.] If you’re a participant in the Small Business Program, or if the transaction is an auto-renewal in the second year or later of an auto-renewing subscription, the commission will be 12%. These commission rates apply to all amounts paid by each user net of transaction taxes charged by you. You will be responsible for the collection and remittance of any applicable taxes for sales processed by a third-party payment provider. If you adopt this entitlement, you will be required to provide transaction reports within 15 calendar days following the end of each calendar month. Even if there were no transactions, you’re required to provide a report stating that is the case. If the cadence changes, we will update this page. To learn about the details that will need to be included in the report, view example reports. In the future, if Apple develops an API to facilitate reporting, you will be required to adopt such API within 30 days with an update of your app and follow the timing and requirements provided."


They could ask Google to remove it from Play Store also.


So if you employ a software developer you can’t expense their salary?

Let’s say I hire a dev for $100k/yr and my product does $100k in revenue which just covers the developer’s salary. I have $0 left in the bank but owe tax on $80k in profit in the first year, is that correct or am I completely misunderstanding?


That is correct. You invested $100k in developing a new product. Even if you fired your developer today, that product will earn you income for years to come. The general principle is that when you make investments (versus pay operating expenses), you can't deduct the cost of the investment up front, you have to deduct it over the "life" of the investment. In the case of developed software, it's "life" is deemed to be 5 or 15 years for tax purposes.

Previously they made an exception for some kinds of R&D (versus other kinds of investments), so that they could be deducted all in the first year, within certain parameters. The TCJA took away that special treatment (to pay for overall tax rate cuts).


I desperately want an answer to this, too. I’m trying to start a business right now and I assumed, foolishly, it seems, that I would be able to guesstimate business expenses as (gross income - (hardware costs, api costs, etc) - employee wages) and it doesn’t sound like I’m going to be able to do that at all, and *all* of my math is harmed.


For the app it is probably just done server side.
