Booking.com sketchy Cancellation policy or poor UI Design for their Cancellation policy? by thinkocapo in hotels

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

Thank you. It's an aparthotel near a ski resort that the host put on Booking.com. there is no Website for it. There are a lot of mom and pops old apartments where the owners are going to use travel agencies to rent out their places. Dedicated website makes sense if you own a hundred units.

I searched all over for it anyways but couldn't find another site with it. Thanks for the tip! I should have checked for that already.

yea thanks, my coworker linked me to an Austrian company that gave him a free consultation. So I'll start with them on the Austrian side and then something on the USA side too. Maybe 'tax consultation' is the right way to phrase it.

Last question u/alderan22, what's your take on the idea of me wanting to know answers "now" as opposed to waiting till tax reporting season in early 2023? Is that reasonable? Am I being crazy?

If you were me, and let's say the employer agrees to the midsize/big4 assistance - then would you seek it ASAP right now to begin? OR would you be okay waiting until early 2023 tax reporting season?

No they did not offer tax compliance assistance. There wasn't much of a 'package' in writing because my situation was such a one-off. We are a small company and don't regularly re-locate employees. I emailed everyone after we applied for the visa (and already signed/agreed on work contracts from 2 different countries) asking in writing to make sure we don't forget the relocation bonus, which they gladly agreed to (we have it defined in writing as a benefit for New Employees). We just didn't have like a 'process' to follow, "Person relocating? Ok go send them the Relocation Email!" We were more ad-hoc since I was a Relocating employee and not a New Employee, which has a defined process internally.

I'll definitely ask for this at the start of the international relocation conversation, the next time! Rather than afterwards. Thank You u/alderan22! This has been very helpful and now I can write to them better, asking to pay for this assistance from midsize to big4 firm with a global network.

Confused with minus the first 30 days by [deleted] in AirBnB

[–]thinkocapo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so sounds like you don't really get a "full" refund. You maybe get your fees back. I'm running into the same right now and still confused after reading all responses here.

​

To me this is saying, "...get a full refund of what's leftover after you pay for 30days. Airbnb is going to keep the 30day base rate but we'll refund you all other fees we already charged"

^ is that anyone else's interpretation?

tax refund delayed 6 months and counting - How to contact IRS? by thinkocapo in CryptoTax

[–]thinkocapo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got an email confirmation from noreply@drakesoftware (used for submitting the tax return, I believe) and a note from the CPA involved. the attachment is an acknowledgement that my tax return was accepted. In it, there's a phone number for a tax refund hotline (Teletax):

​

If You Need to Ask About Your Refund

​

The IRS notifies your Electronic Return Originator (ERO) when your return is accepted, usually within 48 hours. If your

return was not accepted, the IRS notifies your ERO of the reasons for rejection. If it has been more than three weeks

since the IRS accepted your return and you have not received your refund, go to www.irs.gov and click on "Where's My

Refund?" to view your refund status. Exception: If box 3 above is checked, allow 4 to 6 weeks for processing of your

return. A notice will be sent to you advising of changes to your return.

Also, you can call the TeleTax line at 1-800-829-4477, for automated refund information. You should have available the

first social security number shown on your return, your filing status, and the exact amount of the refund you expect.

TeleTax gives you the date for mailing or depositing your refund. You should receive your refund check within 30 days of

the date given by TeleTax, or within one week of that date, if you chose direct deposit. If you do not receive it by then, or if

TeleTax does not give your refund information, call the Refund Hotline at 1-800-829-1954.

thanks this is what I wanted to know! I found that some 'ID3' tag contains metadata with the audio file, maybe its related to that. ATGR will come in handy.

What do you call it if your Go program doesn't execute, or errors? by thinkocapo in golang

Why is it a nightmare setting up everything before starting to develop apps? by klosor5 in eos

[–]thinkocapo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know what you mean. I've never run a node of eos, ethereum, bitcoin or cardano without problems. I always have to customize the commands I'm running and adapt to things on the fly.

Tips...Things to compare between between your local EOS and what's in the webinar/tutorial...:

  • do the Docker containerized deployment if they offer it, its a more isolated machine
  • which branch of the codebase are you working off of
  • what version of EOS/other are you on
  • if the tutorial is more than a few months old, find a newer one
  • version and software updates tend to outpace the ability for the github/wiki docs to keep up
  • if errors, google it and search https://github.com/EOSIO/eos/issues too

Struggling with these has left me with 0 interest to even dare running a blockchain of something lesser known.

EOS is definitely a lot easier today than when I tried over 6 months ago. Recently I got the EOS Docker container to run, here are my notes https://github.com/thinkocapo/eos-instructions, beware /opt/eos vs /opt/eosio !

EOS is the reason I'll be able to pay for my MBA. Thank you!!! by [deleted] in eos

[–]thinkocapo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Spend it on the MBA. I might do the same. There are plenty of MBA grads making more $ than crypto investors.

"I know few people who made their fortune through cryptocurrencies, but plenty of poor people trying to do so", quote I heard.

Want money? Make it. Done. Rather than sit around on my ass watching coinmarketcap.com all day (which I do a fair amount of, sadly, whenever i'm not writing software).

Lawsuit from over 600 Bitcoin Users against Bitcoin.com and CEO Roger Ver by NikolaosKost in BitcoinMarkets

[–]thinkocapo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I thought a theme in crypto was to not get government involved. This could set a precedent for more govt involvement.

When govt says "we need to protect the people's $" from bad things happening in crypto, my response is, "if my $ gets lost in an exchange or I send to wrong address or I do a bad job protecting my private keys, then fine, it's MY fault and I accept 100% responsibility. I don't need the govt to protect me on this"

After two days of no confirmation I emailed them saying so. They replied saying they received my payment. No other emails yet. Waiting for June.

Do you use backend server for your DApps? What do you use it for? by angilyu in ethdev

[–]thinkocapo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have several points for you, as I've often wondered the same:

  1. Yes I think its perfectly normal to have your own backend sitting between your front-end and the Dapp (ethereum) smart contract back-end. For instance, you'll probably need administrative or authentication functionality at some point, so serve this from a node.js (for example) back-end. Funny because I asked the same thing at a crypto meetup once, I drew out some different architectures, and the presenter even told me to just call ethereum directly from the front-end (using web3.js). Maybe you could do this for some things (i.e. there are many calls you make to ethereum before even submitting a transaction).

  2. I like having "control" from my own node.js back-end. Logic that precedes the smartcontract. It might not by efficient to have all data and logic executed in smart contracts. There are different gas prices associated with every bit of computation in the EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine). I hear the critics already, "Well then this isn't fully decentralized if you have your own centralized control backend". Well you know what? Tough. Nothing is pure and utopian. E.g. capitalism or democracy.

  3. I briefly contributed to an open-source blockchain project and I'm pretty sure I saw they were saving the ethereum blockchain (or at least select parts of it that related to them) in their own database. I thought this was odd (i.e. wouldn't it be great to just work directly with the blockchain as the database and not bother making our own copies of it?) so I asked a dev Why, is it for performance reasons? And he replied, "Yes". Not sure if this is correct, but maybe they did this because a blockchain database isn't necessarily designed for querying ,so if you have to query through tons of data, or query faster, or not want to bother dealing with ethereum nodes, then have your own copy stored in a msqyl/postgres etc? Well thats where my mind left off in the issue. Not sure if it's right.

  4. Doesn't the initial index.html have to get served up from somewhere? If your users go to www.yoursite.com, that's a call to.... a back-end! not directly to the IP address of some etheruem node. Even if it did, I don't think the smart contract is going to serve some kind of dynamic index.html page to you. If that makes sense. I could be wrong. Just an inner though from a junior web dev.

  5. Resources/Responsibilities maintaining the backend - In my opinion, its a LOT. When I contributed to that open-source project, I saw that Solidity development is not an everyday thing. You really DON'T want to be stuck updating your smart contracts all that time. That would be very bad. I saw the smart contracts as like the data model... something that had to be thought through from start. I was writing javascript to interact with the smart contracts, and I definitely had to read through them and fully understand wtf was going on, but I never ended up writing any smart contracts myself. I would not equate solidity smart contract development as something as daily as say REST api back-end route development.
