That's unfortunately incorrect. There are varying levels of state and local taxes. Our company pays a tax to the city in which our HQ is located, for example.
The company has always operated as a foreign corporation in California, which means it only pays corporate taxes on income generated in California. The company isn't moving its operations out of the state. Their San Mateo office will continue to pay any fees and taxes to the city and county. Only the CEO and CFO will work from the Montana office. Both were living in Montana prior to the headquarters move, therefore the company had a nexus in that state and paid corporate taxes for income booked in that state. Nothing changes in that regard. Snowflake cannot take advantage of Montana's lower corporate rate because they are not a domestic corporation. Again, they are incorporated in Delaware and operate as a foreign corporation in any state except Delaware.
There are several conditions that must happen before data loss begins due to cell corruption when the drive is stored (unpowered), with abnormal temperatures being one of them. The primary condition is the drive must have reached its end of life.
The original poster stated, "They start heavily corrupting data if left unpowered for around a year or two though, in case this gives anyone false confidence in a use case they aren't designed for." A person asked if all SSDs do that and you said, "Yes, all SSD's suffer this effect." This statement is wrong.
The AnandTech article even mentions the falsehoods and states it wants to clear up the confusion. A drive must meet certain conditions before data loss begins. Simply putting a backup or thumb drive in a safe for several years isn't going to cause data loss and the AnandTech article comes to this conclusion.
Here is another article from PCWorld with commentary from the authors of the 2015 JEDEC presentation that started this hysteria.
That's 2015, densities have gotten much higher since then. I'll take back heavily corrupting, I've seen it happen but I don't know that it is the norm within 1-2 years.
No they don't. This myth originated when Alvin Cox (Seagate) gave a JEDEC presentation in 2015 talking about cell corruption when the drive reaches its end of life AND is stored at abnormal temperatures. Simply leaving flash unpowered won't corrupt data, especially consumer drives. This has been debunked by Alvin Cox and all the manufacturers of flash storage.
>...all mammals, need to have given birth to produce milk.
Wrong. Humans don't need to be pregnant or give birth to produce milk. Lactation can happen with medication or stimulation, which becomes easier as women age. If a woman is not inducing lactation with hormones, she must stimulate the breasts several times a day using hand compression or a breast pump. This is how adoptive and foster mothers breastfeed their babies. Lactation can also occur in men because they have milk glands, which is the reason they too can get breast cancer.
How, then, do you consider forcing medication or stimulation on a sentient being, without their consent? Obviously if this took place with a human, it’d violate several kinds of rights.
Now extend that train of thought towards other beings.
Where in my reply did I mention forcing lactation on cows? My comments were directed at the statement that all mammals need to give birth to lactate, which is incorrect.
If you are having difficulty ascertaining this point, you definitely need remedial reading comprehension.
Anytime you open an account at a financial institution for a savings, checking, or retirement account, they will get a credit report. Employers are increasingly requiring a credit report before handing out job offers. Every landlord is going to require a certain credit score before accepting your application.
You don't need worry about your credit if you use cash and store it in a coffee tin, couch surf, and work under the table.
There won't be an ice sheet, it will melt within the next ten thousand years due to global warming. Sea levels are expected to rise four meters during this period.
Humans need to leave Earth long before the Sun turns into a red giant. We have about 300 million years to leave the planet or it is game over.
Many distinct areas of Earth such as the Grand Canyon will have eroded away in about 2-3 million years. Mountain ranges like the Rockies will be gone in 50 million years. The Hawaiian Islands will disappear into the ocean in 80 millions years as the Pacific Plate recycles its land mass.
In 300 millions years, the Sun will change its luminosity, increasing the amount of solar radiation reaching the Earth. This will increase the mean solar temperature by 5C degrees.
A little over 300 million years, give or take a few million years, all the continents are going to merge into one super continent. On the plus side, it is expected this will bring a new glacial period: increasing oxygen levels, lowering global temperatures, create new sea ice, and lowering sea levels due to global cooling.
In 500 million years the Sun's luminosity will be so great that it will disrupt the carbonate–silicate cycle. The higher luminosity increases weathering of surface rocks, which traps carbon dioxide in the ground as carbonate. As water evaporates from the Earth's surface, rocks harden, causing plate tectonics to slow and eventually stop once the oceans evaporate completely. Without volcanoes to recycle carbon into the Earth's atmosphere, carbon dioxide levels fall to the point where photosynthesis is no longer possible.
Did you not read what I wrote? Never mind, I am not going to waste a lengthy reply for a person that doesn't understand the end of life events coming to this planet.
>SAG has minimum requirements for having already performed.
Other unions do the same, such as longshoremen. You can work next to unionized longshoremen, doing the same type of job, yet not be part of the union because it strictly controls who can be a member in order to keep membership low and compensation high.
