Space is not far away at all.

Do data centers in space still depreciate GPUs over 6 years if the datacenter falls to Earth in 3?

Apple’s displays are docks in that they supply power, usb ports, camera, sound, and recently thunderbolt pass through. They put a big chunk of an old iPad in there to run the thing. Overkill but they own the electronics and software.

For context, the UK unemployment level is pretty low compared to the last 55 years of history.

One million is a lot of people, but that's from a population of ~70 million.

The post you replied to specified young people so 70M is the wrong denominator. The UK currently has far more than 1 million working age adults unemployed and the denominator for that is still less than 70M because Britain has plenty of retirement age adults too.

I chose the denominator of a society of 70 million to match the data link I posted.

It’s possible the unemployment rate among you adults is historically high, but I haven’t seen data on that. I doubt it, based on the overall unemployment rate.

edit: looked up the current data. Age 16-24 unemployment excluding trainees and students is 12.8% which is about double the current overall unemployment rate. Haven't found historical data on this cohort yet. We might expect youngsters to be less employed than experienced people, but double does seem high on the face of it.

Found it. Youth unemployment is currently at about the (eyeball) median rate for the last 32 years.

I think it's important to put numbers in historical context when saying or implying that we're in some kind of crisis.

Youth unemployment sucks for the people involved and the people around them. Every one of them has my sympathy. We are not in a period of unusually high youth unemployment, according to the UK government data.

> Found it. Youth unemployment is currently at about the (eyeball) median rate for the last 32 years.

It is currently there. The economy doesn't seem to be getting friendlier to the youth though. That median also seems pretty heavily skewed by a seven-year jump in youth unemployment after 2008, which seems like a bad omen.

But that would spoil some good click bait for the media, and ad hominem attacks from political opponents.

The software is not basically ready. You’ll see actually good demos long before it’s really ready, and we haven’t seen them yet.

The dividend is taxable ordinary income. The increased share value is not taxable until sold, and then it’s capital gains; usually a much lower rate.

In most cases dividends are taxed at the capital gains rate.

Good correction, thanks. For completeness, that’s dividends on stocks, but not dividends on bonds, which are treated like interest.

In any case, dividends are taxable in the current year, and unrealized stock gains are not.

In case the difference doesn’t seem like a big deal, consider that if you die without selling the stocks, your heirs inherit them at the prevailing price, and no one ever pays tax on the gain they made between when you bought them and when you died.

Rich people who need neither dividend cash or stock sales to pay living expenses prefer not to get dividends so they can pay very little tax.

This enormous loophole for the rich brought to you by your US representatives.

The company is owned by the shareholders. When shares are ‘burnt’ the remainder of the shares become more valuable.

It’s easy to see if you imagine there are only three shares and one of them is torn up. The other two now own the entire company.

It’s a way of giving money to shareholders without the value being realized in the sense of being immediately taxable.

Compared to the Cayenne I’m with you. Compared to a 911 though…

He’s a software engineer with a passion for design.

Just skip it if it’s not for you.

The logic of it is that if your visa renewal is rejected they don’t have to catch you and deport you. You already deported yourself.

Having to go abroad when a visa/PR has already been granted is totally pointless. Green cards are mailed to your home in the US right now.

What is the point of that?

They might as well mail it to your home. That’s what happens today.
