30% income tax is the marginal rate.

On your 30k, you get 1925€ per month (23k/yr) after corporate tax/social security etc. We call this "net" even though income tax is due on top of that.

For income tax, you pay taxes according to the following brackets (on yearly income) :

- 0€ to 9700€ : 0%

- 9701€ to 26791€ : 14%

- 26791€ to 71826€ : 30%

That means for a single person with no children, you pay an incone tax of 234€/yr, or 20€/month.

Am I misunderstanding or did you make a math error? I'm getting: (23000-9700)*.14 = 1862€/yr

He make an error, indeed

In fact, the tax we will be a bit lower than your (correct) calculation, because the calculation should be made on 90% of the income only.

So, the result is 1530 € (there's another insignificant reduction after calculation). And that's an effective 6,6% tax rate.

Ha, my calculation included my child (counts a 1/2 part). You are right, single person would be ~1800/yr, 150/month

My use case for this will be the switch from French Azerty to Chinese Qwerty (bilingual speaker). I would buy this in a heartbeat if it had an attached numpad.

The second unit is an attachable numpad that can be used as a standalone or connects magnetically.

Nice. I'll be buying.

What are the P/E ratios of all these ?

Companies will get .io domains to appeal to developers as it looks like I/O (in/out).

Or for using it with words ended with "io" (like scenar.io, portfol.io and such)

Does this work well? A friend did that for his company and it was a real pain to explain that the last two letters of a full word have a dot first. Ended up getting the .com.

I've got ci.al (so.ci.al, fa.ci.al, etc), I think, but trying to tell someone that over voice seems... problematic.

Usually startups using this kind of domain end up moving to .com once they get funded. I do data mining for a VC, and see this all the time.

Off topic, but I'm curious what kind of data mining the VC has you doing.

Ok cool, I knew that part...phew. I thought they were referring to something fundamental to the way the TLD worked etc. that they were fiddling with.

CEO announced on twitter they would have new offers in 10-14 days.

Didn't they just move from Defense to Interior?

For budgetary/employment yes (back in 2009), but status-wise they remain a military force.

So they're really halfway, under both defense and interior.

So they can influence and share that know how with both departments? This could be interesting. I am really surprised that they managed to do it and it will be an easier sell now with the MS/NSA collaboration thing. So maybe we could expect other big deployments of that kind.

Wouldn't that mean you'd have to give each Pfennig individually? Otherwise, they'd just round the whole sum.

Yes. :)

    you would have to give your bank 50 million 1 Pfennig coins (*separately*)

This thread reminds me of this episode[1] more and more..

I don't get that reference. Care to explain?

The reference is to an episode of Seinfeld where the Kramer sub-plot is about bottle deposit returns. Kramer notices that he can get 10 cents instead of the usual 5 cents for a bottle deposit return if he can return it to Michigan. Newman says that it can't be done, he's crunched the numbers and you blow all of your profit by transporting the bottles (remember, Seinfeld is set in NYC). However, Newman (a postal worker) finds out there is an overflow mail truck that only happens on Mother's Day due to all the cards that are sent and that they can have the USPS essentially cover the transportation so he signs up to drive the truck. Of course nothing goes the way it's supposed to when the Elaine/Jerry plot merges with the Newman/Kramer plot and Kramer is forced to abandon the attempt mid-quest (after throwing Newman out of the postal truck) to recover JFK's golf clubs.

The picture is of Newman drinking a soda so he can get the deposit on it.

There's a somewhat similar actual occurrence. It turns out that retailers get something like 7 cents a can for soda bottles, but the way the deposit law is set up they only have to pay 5. I guess it's to encorage them to collect the cans. Anyway there's one store in Brooklyn that started offering 6 cents instead of the usual 5. Apparently there are lines around the block and people using the machines 24/7.

Around here (SF Bay Area, California) we pay the "deposit" but none of the stores (I'm aware of) actually buy cans and bottles back. I'm not sure how much the per can price is at the recycling places you have to take them to.

I was very surprised one time on vacation in Oregon when there was a can/bottle recycling machine right at the entrance of a grocery store. I walked back to it with an empty can from the car I had and fed the can into the machine. I was a little disappointed that all it gave me was a receipt to use toward my next purchase at that store. But if it was a store I went to regularly, it would totally make sense.

I live in Oregon and you can get cash from the store for that receipt. Some people (homeless, poor, frugal) collect bottles and cans from public trash bins for this exact purpose. Sometimes schools have fundraisers where you drop off bags of cans and then they take them in and get the cash value for them.

Note for those who try on Linux: I've had to add a local user "pi".

"depuis quelques mois, nous avons eu plusieurs affaires juridiques lié à l'utilisation de plusieurs réseaux TOR dans le cas de la pedo et on va désormais l'interdire au même titre que tous les systèmes d'anonymisation. Cela augmente l'utilisation frauduleuse de notre réseau et le nombre de réquisition juridique chaque mois"

"starting a few months back, we've had an number of legal cases regarding the use of multiple TOR networks for pedo, and we will forbid its use from now on, the same way we forbid all anonymisation systems. It raises the number of fraudulent uses of our network and the number of subpoenas each month"

I guess it means both.

Internal relays would never result in complaints though, since it only connects to other Tor nodes?

The policy is probably just a justification for canceling accounts after they get the first complaint; if you never generate a complaint they'll probably never notice.

Same error in Ubuntu 13.04 for me.

Thanks! Fixed. https://github.com/abhshkdz/graf/pull/2
