I’m a registered tax agent. This isn’t really true - but, it’s exactly what someone needing a 2-ton codpiece would say.

If you use a passenger vehicle exclusively for work / business, then you can claim depreciation on it’s total cost up to a maximum of ~$66k (last year… this limit is indexed each year).

Vehicles with a carrying capacity of > 1 tonne are not subject to this limit as they’re “commercial” vehicles rather than passenger vehicles.

So if you had a $100k to spend on a new car, then a landcruiser wagon / SUV will be less tax effective than a RAM ute because you can’t claim a deduction for the entire cost of the ute.

That said, no one actually chooses between those types of vehicles on the basis of the tax deduction available - you either want a ute or you don’t. The choice is always between a hilux size ute and a ram size ute. Additionally, I don’t have a list but I’ve heard tell that very few of the bigger utes actually have a carrying capacity of > 1 tonne once you subtract the potential weight of passengers.

I shit you not… I saw a cooker waving a Trump 2020 flag last week.

We seem to have been invaded by them in the last 2 years or so. I don’t see why regular utes and 4wds have been fine until now, but suddenly every tradesman needs one of these.

How do you find Rust for the frontend?

Only if you compare 3 roads to 1 track. If you’re arguing about which costs more then it doesn’t make sense to include the cost of the whole 3 lanes as all that traffic doesn’t need to go by rail.

The article doesn’t really frame the problem apache is causing… I think it’s really just that someone might install OpenOffice thinking that it’s LibreOffice.

It’s definitely a dick move by Apache but… the reality is that they’re entitled to cling to the OpenOffice trademark if they wish, and it’s really LibreOffice’s branding problem.

Also the article doesn’t mention the 14 bug fix releases since 4.1, which seems kinda disingenuous.

or "/r/dontdeadopeninside

because it’s a fake sign designed to be read wrong.

These problems are pretty common the world over. In Australia the risks of teenagers setting each other are taught in schools.

Yes there are instances where a minor might be unjustly added to the register, but there are many more cases where minors are legitimate predators and adding them to the register is in the public interest.

Yeah it’s just absurd. The offender registry is full of victims. Sure it is. /s

I agree.

I’m a hobbyist. I don’t work on really large or complex projects. I just want to get the most productivity for my spare-time-dabbling and having tried a few times to get into typescript it seemed to create more “extra steps” for me than it saved.

Do you have any examples of how google is pulling the strings at Mozilla ?

I disagree.

Google doesn’t “control” mozilla in that way.

They can always test it out against all their ads and make sure it works, putting out a fix if it ever doesn’t.

They could do this even if they weren’t funding mozilla. Ad’s aren’t exactly reliant on bleeding edge web standards anyway. You’re thinking about tracking tech, which they don’t have any input in for firefox.

We’ve also seen recently how they’re trying to make it so people can’t run ad blockers

Well yes, and mozilla was quite vocal in their opposition, demonstrating that Google doesn’t have much control over them.

To get 80k they’re obviously counting variations. How many breeds of cow have I eaten?

Maybe not so small?

I never encountered these math symbols but for loops are like step 3 in any programming language after variables and conditionals
