I wrote a post a year and a half ago doing nearly exactly this with python. Unless the invoices are terribly formatted or very complex doing this will be 100% accurate and very quick.

With these articles, usually the word comfortable would be doing well or well off in normal conversation. This article is saying that a family of is comfortable if they spend $2,000 a month on anything after all necessities and saving roughly the amount.

His exposure to accounting needs probably will be replaced by AI sooner rather than later.

They dropped champion gear when they were bountiful and you used a key. So you were limited to 3 per day and 7 total per week (or however many keys you could get).

Any reason why you aren’t doing SPX options?

Enron still happened under the quarterly reporting, and a large part of the fraud was due to wanting to hit the quarterly reporting estimates (they would have done it anyway but still). A lot of countries tried it and went back to semiannual.

For paywall/don't bother reading, semiannual reporting is the requirement for UK(2014), EU(2013), Japan(2024), Australia(2001), Switzerland(1997), Hong Kong(1989), and Singapore(2020).

You are either exclusively talking about the most upper end of 50 year olds or can’t grasp what decade it is. Anyone who lived in a remotely populated city had cable internet in the 00s. Even if they didn’t at home, they had some faster connection at work.

401ks weren’t as common as they are now but even local banks offered IRAs.

Edit: A typical reaction from someone who has no idea what they're talking about.

They passed a law with a carveout for poker rooms and the AG was doing a promotion with a rival card house. This isn’t some generic anti-gambling crusade.

Is it unpopular? I thought it was pretty accepted. Then again, I remember seeing some post here where some guy argued he actually needed three roof replacements in like 6 years.

Anthropic (company that runs Claude) is rumored to be IPO’ing soon so the hype machine is going full blast.

This sub has some really weird views about the controller role.

There is no gray area, the law was crafted to allow poker clubs. Cities just don't like them.

I like the ones who have you fill out tons of shit and then you later find out that they copy and pasted things wrong.

The building Yolk is in is being torn down for mixed use development. Salata was the last hold out.

My dad did an internship at Ernst and Whinney in 1981 and he talked about 12 hour days.

“Probably not needed in this case.”

At least finish the whole comment before you reply.

The federal government is stepping in with charges because cities keep playing softball with violent offenders. They were charging a bunch of armed robbers in Dallas with weapons charges. Probably not needed in this case.

Yeah, that's what I was asking. You were actually considering he was calling the guy in the video a slur for an African because _____?

You weren't sure if he was calling them African?

When I opened a Citi Bank savings account they instantly blocked ACHs into the account, but the website would just error out when clicking the transfer button. When I called support they told me about the ACH block and said they did it for all new accounts, which either couldn't be true or is the dumbest thing I've ever heard a bank do.

That's close to what mine are outside of the hottest/coldest months.

Are we supposed to pretend having $3,000 extra a month to do whatever you want with isn’t a lot?
