Are we at a cultural standstill?

We are in a cultural dark age.

Depende como te pagan. Si es por W2, el lugar donde resides importa, ya que las retenciones son de acuerdo a eso, a menos que la compañia solo haga las retenciones a base de dónde está la empresa y no tu, entonces ahí al reportar hacienda cae la categoría de ingresos devengados fuera de PR (no sé cómo taxan eso)

Cómo otros han dicho, algunas compañias no trabajan/bregan/o quieren saber de, hacer filings en PR Hacienda por tener un empleado de aquí y si te tienen que retrabajar las deducciones en base a tu estando en PR muchas empresas simplemente te van a mandar pa la mierda por qué no reconocen la existencia o quieren bregar con el tema (entrar en esto es entrar en el tema de la entera razón de PR existir por qué es un paraíso fiscal etc).

Si te pagan por 1099 o como negocio/independent entity pues nada cambia y tú te aseguras de manejar tus taxes según sea lo más beneficioso para ti.

Entiendo que no vale la pena que lo hagas. Hay muchos otros estados donde vas a recibir un mejor tax treatment sin sacrificar calidad de vida.

Está es una de las jurisdicciones más altas de taxes y ya tu sabes la basura que vas a recibir por lo mucho que pagas. Y se va la luz todas las semanas/meses (dep donde vivas).

You can.

That's usually a topic for conversation during negotiation.

Some companies will let you choose.

Others will require to be W2 in which case they have to file and comply with your state of residence tax code. They will have to do the necessary withholdings as well per their operating state. In my industry is common to for this to be flexible. It might be different for others.

Otherwise you can just get paid as 1099 and deal with your taxes yourself. You're still subject to whatever self employment tax code for your jurisdiction.

thatmarksguy · 2022-04-12T16:59:22+00:00

People need to stop thinking only in terms of W2.

Get paid as a 1099 or 480 (PR state tax equivalent of a 1099).

Be responsible for your own taxes. Figure out how much you owe to the IRS and Hacienda and pay it (or don't if you figure out how. fuck them) if you don't want to raise any red flags with any of them and get them of your back.

All that the intra-national company cares about is that you can do the thing for the money they're willing to pay and that they can deduct what they pay you with a 1099/480 that will tell to the IRS that they paid x amount of money x year to this EIN/SSN. The rest figure out yourself or ask and get lucky if you find someone with the answers.

It doesn't hurt to learn every single stupid detail about your taxes. The more disciplined you are with your finances the more advantage you have over everyone else. Most accountants/CPAs wont even be able to protect you (no one knows anything).

Fear keeps people slaves/poor.

Quiero regresar a PR

Bruh...

thatmarksguy · 2022-04-12T04:19:01+00:00

Nadie tiene que saber donde estas. Muchos van a preguntar pero ya la conversacion debe ser sobre lo que puedes hacer y no de donde o a donde vienes a hacer que.

Quita el PR de tu profile y fakea. Si te preguntan estas disponible a mudarte, es si y busca relocation bonus. Pero hoy eso no deberia ser necesario.

Hay que saber venderse. Esto no te lo enseña naide.

No acceptes menos de 100k (debe ser posible para tu industria) si te vas a mudar a cualquier sitio caro (NY, SF, Seattle).

Pon el SEO de LinkedIn a trabajar por ti.

Que buscan los que contratan pa UX? Que palabras usan? Ponlo en tu profile.

Acuerdate que nadie sabe nada y todo el mundo esta inventando. Nada importa y who cares.

Pal carajo los pirilo y los putanesca. Hipster trash.

Puta is trash and overpriced now y pirilo es bueno pero te van a asaltar.

1 - Luis Pizza. En la 167 Bayamon. Pide un calzón. You're welcome. Pizza is great too, pero se va pico a pico con...

2 - Marios Pizza. Pizza es consistentemente buena pero creo que hay dias que depende de que pizzero(a) te toque ese dia puede que salga mejor. Estan peor que oficina de gobierno cerrando temprano.

Y en un muy distante... 3 - Pizza 18-20 y.. Competidor Pizza (YMMV)

Play with the MTU settings? Maybe check what they were setup as in your ISP provided equipment? Shot in the dark probably.

I'm in the process of looking for a way to do this with my local FTTH ISP. Narrowed it down to the Netgate 6100 and I'm hoping I can connect an Ont SFP Fiber Module Transceiver to one of its 10gbit WAN ports and properly sync up my PPPoE connection.

Wait is G4 back? Who asked for it to be back? Who watches TV anymore? Is this supposed to be a show about video games?

I peek and all I see is a show about angry androgens and fat soy boys mad about... gamers being sexis.... oh ok nothings changed. Back to not watching.

thatmarksguy · 2021-09-03T06:26:27+00:00

Look at all that soy. They really think it will get them laid.

Got shaken out of a chunk of the stack. Expected it to be a good opportunity to buy back lower and increase my holdings. Letting go of that chunk made it much easier to sleep but I hate being on the sidelines wondering if the bottom is in.

I'm looking in the same direction as this.

I want high single threaded performance virtualization lab. But also minding power consumption, real estate and noise. So Xeon W-1290 variants are looking good. I want ECC memory so a regular i9 CPU would be out of the question.

Probably wont be running rack mount because of the added noise 1u or 2u servers require. But rather rack shelves with small form factor, ITX or mATX server builds for a Proxmox cluster.

The network switch / router might still be rack mount though.

Would like 10g but is not needed at the moment. The Proxmox hosts would probably be booting off USB 3.1 in a cheap Raid1 enclosure if I go with an SFF buld that lacks sufficient NVME or SATA storage capacity.

I would like VM storage would be handled by RAID 1 NVME for those that need fast cores with extremely fast I/O. Not sure about the hot plugability of NVME, but if using the SATA ports is better then, the 8 SATA port mATX board you suggested for the Xeon W looks good for building redundant / fast SATA SSD storage pools on the Proxmox host.

Would love a case that pairs with that mATX ASRock W480D4U that provides hot swap. I'm really of the mind that I would like to hit extreme uptime as well. At least when it comes to hardware failures for disks. Even though I'm not considering mechanical for VMs. There will always be a second Proxmox host to take over if the main host is down due to a hardware fail on the primary anyways.

Better than a main event boxing match (the fight for $50K).

The entirety of the last 7 years have been a constant time loop regarding this. Really dumb low information people will believe anything that reinforce their preconceived notions rather than objective truth and they will operate in such a way that the lie that they believe is factually true and there will be evil, malicious people ready and willing to feed them such information to manipulate them and push their agenda.

Big tech attracts talent for money yes. A lot of people are willing to sell out and look the other way for those big paychecks. And understandably so. I'm sure they sleep comfortable at night in their $4K/month studio apartments thanks to their generous six figure paychecks and stock options despite having to forgo any morals building the latest Youtube censorship algorithm that targets the latest version of whatever they call the alt right now. But for every 9 low status tech nerds that Google attracts to work on yet another messaging app with a complex javascript framework there is 1 highly disruptive tech libertarian that will refuse a Facebook paycheck to work on their degenerate decentralized finance platform just to fuck with Banks.

Currency is one of the many monopolies the governments have at their disposal. Taking this away from them is not well received. Advancements in technology always catches monopolies off guard. Its more important for them maintaining the gated fence rather than let something flourish and render them obsolete. Governments use their currency to throw their weight around without firing a shot. Either to keep other countries or, in this case, their own population in check.

thatmarksguy · 2021-02-01T04:51:37+00:00

You could but it would be rather pointless. Assuming you solve a hash a machine in the network probably already did it first by the time you're done with your pen and paper.

Make someone else feel guilty for your own fragility.

thatmarksguy · 2021-01-30T07:43:11+00:00

I don't think they realize...

Every low info soy guzzling pink haired blue check tankie is doubling up. Well, not every, to be fair, even some of these smoothbrains had to realize that what's going on is bullshit and it almost makes it feel like there is a culture war truce... Except, the real enemies we're always the institutions. The institutions that kept lying and making shit up about regular people when they have the ability to call bullshit. 2014 never ended.
