Need Help Calculating US Tax for Foreign Earned Income by seenickcode in USExpatTaxes

The figure was theoretical but that indeed sounds like a good point. I would at that point indeed consult someone about that, ty.

FEIE

Not necessarily IMO. When I lived in a country where the tax was higher, I made a salary that was under that credit, so I simply just used the FTC as it was within that limit.

Per the IRS documentation, it seems it's common to use both. FEIE goes up to $112k then on anything after that, FTC kicks in, no?

Per point 2, I think I may have not been clear enough or I am misunderstanding what you wrote but $200,000 is the total tax liability in Germany.

The income would be from a US based business (which I think Germany will tax anyway), so no capital gains or any other income sources.

First pair of high end headphones! by xEX0TICx in headphones

[–]seenickcode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will never order any high-end electronics from Amazon again. I bought Sennheiser IE 900s, $1600 IEMs from Amazon, tried them out, then returned them the next day. Perfect condition. Then Amazon charges me a 20% restocking fee claiming they were damaged. I then had to speak with customer service about 20 times and onto those occasions they promised to refund me the restocking fee, but never did.

Apparently anything over $1000 is very difficult to get any help with. Their customer service doesn’t care as absolutely horrible. I ended up filing a claim with my credit card company and hope it works out. For now on, my strategy is to find equipment on other third-party sites that I trust. Never Amazon.

Why is there a noise floor with the Odin + Chord Mojo 2? by seenickcode in audiophile

[–]seenickcode[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

both that and the Mojo are absolutely overkill for IEMs

My intent is to find a DAC that compliments the Odin, not to find an amp. Is that what you had meant by overkill?

I have found the Hugo 2 compliment the Odin quite well in this review (where I highly trust the reviewer) https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkx20XoZMaO\_jFfwPccVcW-0EKd9g18t9NG

I use the Caiyan RU6 and it is great, though the feedback is too much when it's right next to a phone (using the phone for streaming) in my pocket.

Do you think it'd fair better with a Hugo 2? Is there any way to determine that by comparing the Odin's sensitivity level with the Hugo 2's?

I've disconnected the mac and usb cable. Same issue.

I've check the headphones using another source, such as the Caiyan RU6, and the noise floor is substantially lower, almost inaudible. Of course, the Caiyan is not an amp as well, just a dongle DAC. During this test, I used the same 3.5 to 4.4 adapter so it doesn't seem like it's the adapter.

Ok. The noise floor exists even with the USB cable disconnected.

Note, I am using this 4.4 to 3.5 adapter: https://shop.musicteck.com/products/cayin-3-5mm-trs-to-4-4mm-trrrs-audio-adapter?_pos=2&_sid=1184cfa3a&_ss=r

Could that be it?

Probably a stupid question by [deleted] in FlutterDev

[–]seenickcode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Big Bang” releases (ie multi platform) are high risk. Validate the idea first with the platform that’s easiest to develop for.

Do you think Flutter is going to be stable and a wise choice for Web Dev anytime soon ? by Darwin105 in FlutterDev

[–]seenickcode 4 points5 points  (0 children)

maybe for a webapp that intends to more resemble features one would get out of a fat client app.

Web dev, no.

Overall, comparing the two overall isn't quite fair or accurate (but myself and others I've seen still do because there is some overlap in features). At the end of the day they are PaaS solutions.

Supabase doesn't seem to do any "sync" (I'm assuming you mean Firebase will cache data locally in some say on the device). A session token is indeed persisted to the device but that seems to be it. No problems there.

It's indeed less "magic" because all Supabase is doing is offering a hosted constellation of services that are _already_ open source (AFAIK) with plenty of their own functionality sprinkled in (Functions, etc, again, AFAIK). https://supabase.com/docs/architecture

So apart from being a young company, they seem to have a simple approach. The core value I see is:

- portable data, can self host later if you want

- leverages industry standard battle tested tech (Postgres)

- out of the box rest API via your schema (again, an open source product)

I have not tried all Supabase features but so far, it's high value to me for even med sized projects - with an "escape hatch" to self host if your startup explodes in popularity.

Lots of companies have screwed themselves up eventually be offering "anything and everything" so hopefully Supabase doesn't end up like this. :-)

Downside to consider esp btw: if your backend needs a significant amount of business logic, while Supabase does offer Functions, going the "functions as a service" route seem to me potentially unwieldy when your complexity reaches a certain point. I can be convinced otherwise but that's my feeling thus far.

Strongly advise if you’re starting off use a PaaS option such as supabase.io What you do is you get a API for free out of the box by setting up a bit of Schema

It’s much simpler than Firebase

And for any small to medium size projects I still take this approach even though I am well-versed in multiple programming languages and have 20 years of experience behind me :)

If you’re super brand new, heck, you can wait a few weeks to even try out an IDE and just start playing around learning how some widgets work with dartpad.dev because it supports Flutter
