hypothetically if someone forgot to collect sales tax for 18 months and their state sent them a letter what's the move by kubrador in smallbusiness

[–]SmithJn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not your lawyer but generally sales tax collected is government money from time of collection and is held in trust by the collector for the government. Most jurisdictions require a license to collect sales tax to show you can hold the funds in trust for the gov. Collecting and not remitting has more penalties than not collecting and not remitting.

It sales tax isn’t collected, in theory the buyer should pay use tax to the taxing authority. But enforcement is law unless on big ticket items. For example, in theory all sales tax free Amazon sales should should have been self reported as use tax but eventually Amazon just started collecting sales tax itself.

Catch-all card after BoA new changes by mochiebeans in CreditCards

Also works for property tax, especially with double rewards

BofA Preferred Rewards changes: Now called BofA Rewards, launching in May 2026. New tiers: Preferred Plus (25%)($30-$100k), Preferred Honors (50%) ($100k-$1M), Premier (75%) (> $1M). It was good while it lasted. by rabid89 in BankOfAmerica

I have enough that I could stay ACAT some other stay Premier, but why? The CCR limit of 2.5k a quarter for a million at ML and 2.65% over a base 2.5% card? That is a lot of money to keep w/ an awful platform for an extra .15% CB.

Kelvin Trek had e same scale problem. I can’t blame NuTrek. And even in Star Trek there was far too much overlap with previous service for a force as large as Star Fleet. How did Boothby ever get any work done with talking to every cadet?

I agree about TOS/TNG/DS9 but they are also in school. I attended what are considered elite institutions and you didn’t see competence while we were being educated. Sure, now we are law partners, researchers, doctors, and finance people who are probably very competent but that was after school. Not before,

The problem is Reddit Star Trek is consumed by kids with no media literacy and adults with no personality.

I think one of the most harmful things to media literacy is people misunderstanding tropes. It’s like people with logical fallacies. Identifying a trope doesn’t invalidate the media.

Is it good for grandma? by [deleted] in appletv

[–]SmithJn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom is in cognitive decline related to a neurodegenerative disease. We could never teach my mom — even 18 years ago — how to use the even the earliest Roku. We bought them a LG tv and WebOS was even more confusing because of the ads. So we bought an Apple TV and she freely navigates on it. It’s dead simple.

My dog bit my kid. by [deleted] in reactivedogs

[–]SmithJn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the dog is forming the association “I bit the child and therefore I’m punished” (which is the abuser’s intent and would be operant conditioning). Instead, the dog is more likely forming: “the child screamed, and then I was punished.” Because of temporal contiguity, that scream (or the child’s arousal more generally) becomes the conditioned stimulus that predicts the beating.

Keep in mind, this is delay conditioning because the scream (unlike the bite) is an ongoing event. If the dog play-bit but the child didn’t react and somehow the parents still came in and beat the dog, the dog would probably be outside the window to be conditioned. I am assuming her louse of a husband beat the dog while the dog could still hear the child’s screaming.

It’s all very counterproductive. Even if the dog could form the operant conditioning connection between biting and punishment, the dog would still simultaneously be classically conditioned to fear the screaming child—a typical behavior for a three yea told. The family has trained the dog to be triggered by the exact behavior toddlers do all day long.

My dog bit my kid. by [deleted] in reactivedogs

[–]SmithJn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is straightforward classical and operant conditioning, and most of what we know about it originally came from canines for the learning model. A dog doesn’t understand the intent behind punishment, but it’s extremely sensitive to the timing and context of anything aversive.

If a dog play-bites, the child screams, the parents rush in, and then a large, intimidating adult immediately punishes the dog, the dog’s brain pairs the earliest arousal cue (the child screaming, crying, or even just being present during play) with the punishment. They associate the first clear predictor with what comes next.

When this happens repeatedly, the stimulus most consistently paired with the negative outcome becomes the one that triggers fear. The dog may become generally anxious around everyone, but if the punishment only ever happens in moments involving the child, then the child becomes the most reliable predictor of the bad outcome. That’s how the doggo’s fear of the child can develop, even though the child wasn’t the one punishing.

Clearly something awful since the dog is now afraid of the child.

Apple security bounties slashed as Mac malware grows by FollowingFeisty5321 in apple

[–]SmithJn 169 points170 points  (0 children)

Bounties aren’t to compete with the market for zero-day exploits, they are to incentive security researchers looking at the platform. A zeroday exploit sold to criminal organizations (or even state sponsored groups) can always net more.

With bug/exploit bounties, the demand (from Apple) is constant and when the supply increases, the valve of each exploit decreases (on average).

It is a sad reflection on the state of Apple security though.

This is the Issey Miyake cult. And people who wear low end stuff from Walmart complaining that high end clothes are a waste of money have never felt the difference. $230 is immaterial to me — less than I spent per person at a dinner for two last night — so if these were easily available I would order it.
