It ends up being net zero. They’re only writing off the money you donated. They still have to count the money you donated towards their overall revenue, increasing their tax bill, but then they pass the donation on, allowing them to write it off, reducing their overall revenue (and thus their tax bill) to what it would have been if you hadn’t donated.

Technology@lemmy.world•Jack Dorsey's New Company Falling Apart as It Forces Employees to Use AIEnglish
91·3 days agoAircraft wings operate on pretty much the same principle as bird wings do. We just used a technology we had already developed (fans, essentially) to create the forward movement necessary to create the airflow over the wings for lift. We know how to do it the bird way too, but restrictions in material science at scale make the fan method far easier and less error prone.
What if we used a series of self driving buses which would use cameras to follow painted lines on the ground in a preset pattern?
FUCK! THAT’S TRAINS AGAIN!
LOL
Looks like you’ve got four nazi’s so far who are cowardly even by nazi standards downvoting you.
A Dollar Tree opened near me in Canada within the last year. Now don’t get me wrong, our local Dollarama isn’t amazing or anything, but that Dollar Tree is embarrassingly bad by comparison. 75% of a shelves were just straight up empty, and what was actually on the shelves was so cheaply made that I’d be embarrassed to give it away, let alone charge what they were trying to charge for it.
There was one aisle pretty well stocked though. They had an entire aisle dedicated exclusively to bibles. What the actual fuck?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How can we protect kids from the harms of social media without sacrificing everyone's privacy?English
5·7 days agoYes, show, not give. There is a huge difference. In person, you can show them and know that they don’t have a copy squirrelled away somewhere. With digital, you have to give them a copy, and you have no real way of knowing if they kept a copy or not. And given how untrustworthy these corpos are, they almost certainly did.

I think what they are saying is that they’d rather the burden be distributed equitably across the populace instead of placing the burden entirely on good people.
