First, he's not moving money currently. He's pledged to move a tangible asset to a new entity.
Second, if you had read his latest comment or understood how a LLC functions and taxes apply, you would know that the LLC will have to pay taxes on the sale of those assets.
Third, any profit the LLC makes from investments in for-profit organizations will also be taxed.
In a previous comment I made on charities and trusts, he would be more likely to be avoiding taxes if he did create a charitable remainder trust for his kid. There's an immediate tax benefit, you get to use the yearly distribution any way you see fit, and there's no guarantee the money will ever see a charitable cause.
As a correction to your assumption and other comments in this thread, charitable trusts (depending on the many ways you can set these up) do not guarantee ANY money will ever be given to charity. Most require a distribution, but many do not dictate how this distribution is to be used or put a limit on how much can be distributed (although large distributions may still incur taxes). It's often used as a way to pass on an inheritance to avoid or limit tax consequences.
My wife has rented several dresses online and usually orders 1-2 dresses and they offer free 'backup' sizes. Great for fancy events, themed parties, weddings, etc. where you'll realistically spend several hundred dollars on a nice dress that for some reason you can only wear once.
Heaven forbid your friends see you in the same designer dress twice...
Bonobos is carried in some Nordstrom stores, not sure about AYR. I'm actually thinking of giving their pants a second shot once the Nordstrom by me re-opens and I can try enough pairs on to find ones that fit well - if the store carries them.
TBH, I still haven't had great luck with their pants. They just don't fit well, even trying several different configuration options.
On the other hand, their dress shirts are very high quality and fit (me) extremely well. They get me every time there is a sale on their dress shirts (like today).
I think the real difficulty with these business models is that the sizing numbers vary WILDLY across retailers, so there's a lack of consumer confidence when shopping - even with free shipping and returns. A 34x34 pant is not the same at J Crew, Banana or Bonobos. There are several other measures that impact the fit dramatically, of which the average consumer is not aware.
As someone who has written several extensions across all the different browsers (IE COM Interop FTW!!!) over the last few years, Chrome's dev experience is by far the best in my humble opinion.
Firefox's experience was hamstrung by having to learn XUL and a new and different set of tools and way of doing things. Their approval process and packaging scheme was surprisingly not as streamlined as I would have expected from them either. Chrome's experience is fairly standard and intuitive HTML, JS, and JSON interactions. In most cases it really shouldn't take too long for someone to port or migrate an old Firefox plugin to the new format.
That being said, as a (forced) Oracle customer I have been and will continue to do everything in my power to migrate off of Oracle's eco-system. This ridiculously offensive post by their CSO is just more motivation.
I would have loved to see this a few years ago on Windows Forms/WPF apps as well. Performance was an issue as the libraries continued to expand and grow with additional interdependencies.
.NET Reflector came in handy once or twice to copy out a few library functions to avoid adding another reference dll.
I would love for any manufacturer to offer a "Just Windows" version. On my last Windows desktop, I freshly installed Windows 7 when it came out and it was a much better experience than the brand new Windows 7 laptop I had purchased, but with the additional manufacturer bloat. Immediately re-installed a fresh version of Windows and the performance and experience drastically improved.
Why is this acceptable? Digging up bones to identify a man who has been dead for 400 years seems pretty disrespectful. What is the real motivation here?
When I die super famous and having made a profound impact on history, please let my body decompose in peace.
Definitely on those two. Also, I'm confused on why the "region" is really a city and not a full geographic area.
To clarify: is the point of the service to offer flight sharing for convenient flights all over New England to get to remote or local airports faster? Or is this only to go flying/sightseeing for fun?
Love it, but some of my notes are highly confidential. Obviously, I could use a separate notebook, but is there any thought towards privacy or assurance from these guys that no one is reading these notebooks when they're digitized? The video makes it look like a fairly manual process. Ordered one anyway to try it out.
Agree with you on the ass part. But to give you some information:
A) AOL most likely self-insures... Why? Exactly because of catastrophic events like this increasing your premiums for all of your thousands of employees, even though most of them are probably healthy and low risk. Insurance companies don't care! It's usually better to self-insure until you run into these catastrophic insurance events.
B) Agreed. It's disgraceful for any executive of any company to publicly share any type of individual insurance information. Also, borderline illegal.
We have had similar discussions in our own company, which is much much smaller than AOL. It's definitely not directly caused by Obamacare, but we've watched healthcare costs significantly rise over the last few years. And it's mostly these "catastrophic" cases - major surgeries, expensive pregnancies etc. We are try to figure out how we can continue offering great benefits but we'll probably have to make a change. Not to save our billion dollar profits (I wish), but so we can continue to function as a company and employ some great people...
